2014-10-09fs: make cont_expand_zero interruptibleMikulas Patocka
This patch makes it possible to kill a process looping in cont_expand_zero. A process may spend a lot of time in this function, so it is desirable to be able to kill it. It happened to me that I wanted to copy a piece data from the disk to a file. By mistake, I used the "seek" parameter to dd instead of "skip". Due to the "seek" parameter, dd attempted to extend the file and became stuck doing so - the only possibility was to reset the machine or wait many hours until the filesystem runs out of space and cont_expand_zero fails. We need this patch to be able to terminate the process. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2014-10-09Add copy_to_iter(), copy_from_iter() and iov_iter_zero()Matthew Wilcox
For DAX, we want to be able to copy between iovecs and kernel addresses that don't necessarily have a struct page. This is a fairly simple rearrangement for bvec iters to kmap the pages outside and pass them in, but for user iovecs it gets more complicated because we might try various different ways to kmap the memory. Duplicating the existing logic works out best in this case. We need to be able to write zeroes to an iovec for reads from unwritten ranges in a file. This is performed by the new iov_iter_zero() function, again patterned after the existing code that handles iovec iterators.

2014-10-09fs: Fix theoretical division by 0 in super_cache_scan().Tetsuo Handa
total_objects could be 0 and is used as a denom. While total_objects is a "long", total_objects == 0 unlikely happens for 3.12 and later kernels because 32-bit architectures would not be able to hold (1 << 32) objects. However, total_objects == 0 may happen for kernels between 3.1 and 3.11 because total_objects in prune_super() was an "int" and (e.g.) x86_64 architecture might be able to hold (1 << 32) objects.

2014-10-09d_prune_alias(): just lock the parent and call __dentry_kill()Al Viro
The only reason for games with ->d_prune() was __d_drop(), which was needed only to force dput() into killing the sucker off. Note that lock_parent() can be called under ->i_lock and won't drop it, so dentry is safe from somebody managing to kill it under us - it won't happen while we are holding ->i_lock. __dentry_kill() is called only with ->d_lockref.count being 0 (here and when picked from shrink list) or 1 (dput() and dropping the ancestors in shrink_dentry_list()), so it will never be called twice - the first thing it's doing is making ->d_lockref.count negative and once that happens, nothing will increment it.

2014-10-09vfs: Lazily remove mounts on unlinked files and directories.Eric W. Biederman
With the introduction of mount namespaces and bind mounts it became possible to access files and directories that on some paths are mount points but are not mount points on other paths. It is very confusing when rm -rf somedir returns -EBUSY simply because somedir is mounted somewhere else. With the addition of user namespaces allowing unprivileged mounts this condition has gone from annoying to allowing a DOS attack on other users in the system. The possibility for mischief is removed by updating the vfs to support rename, unlink and rmdir on a dentry that is a mountpoint and by lazily unmounting mountpoints on deleted dentries. In particular this change allows rename, unlink and rmdir system calls on a dentry without a mountpoint in the current mount namespace to succeed, and it allows rename, unlink, and rmdir performed on a distributed filesystem to update the vfs cache even if when there is a mount in some namespace on the original dentry. There are two common patterns of maintaining mounts: Mounts on trusted paths with the parent directory of the mount point and all ancestory directories up to / owned by root and modifiable only by root (i.e. /media/xxx, /dev, /dev/pts, /proc, /sys, /sys/fs/cgroup/{cpu, cpuacct, ...}, /usr, /usr/local). Mounts on unprivileged directories maintained by fusermount. In the case of mounts in trusted directories owned by root and modifiable only by root the current parent directory permissions are sufficient to ensure a mount point on a trusted path is not removed or renamed by anyone other than root, even if there is a context where the there are no mount points to prevent this. In the case of mounts in directories owned by less privileged users races with users modifying the path of a mount point are already a danger. fusermount already uses a combination of chdir, /proc/<pid>/fd/NNN, and UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW to prevent these races. The removable of global rename, unlink, and rmdir protection really adds nothing new to consider only a widening of the attack window, and fusermount is already safe against unprivileged users modifying the directory simultaneously. In principle for perfect userspace programs returning -EBUSY for unlink, rmdir, and rename of dentires that have mounts in the local namespace is actually unnecessary. Unfortunately not all userspace programs are perfect so retaining -EBUSY for unlink, rmdir and rename of dentries that have mounts in the current mount namespace plays an important role of maintaining consistency with historical behavior and making imperfect userspace applications hard to exploit. v2: Remove spurious old_dentry. v3: Optimized shrink_submounts_and_drop Removed unsued afs label v4: Simplified the changes to check_submounts_and_drop Do not rename check_submounts_and_drop shrink_submounts_and_drop Document what why we need atomicity in check_submounts_and_drop Rely on the parent inode mutex to make d_revalidate and d_invalidate an atomic unit. v5: Refcount the mountpoint to detach in case of simultaneous renames.

2014-10-09vfs: Add a function to lazily unmount all mounts from any dentry.Eric W. Biederman
The new function detach_mounts comes in two pieces. The first piece is a static inline test of d_mounpoint that returns immediately without taking any locks if d_mounpoint is not set. In the common case when mountpoints are absent this allows the vfs to continue running with it's same cacheline foot print. The second piece of detach_mounts __detach_mounts actually does the work and it assumes that a mountpoint is present so it is slow and takes namespace_sem for write, and then locks the mount hash (aka mount_lock) after a struct mountpoint has been found. With those two locks held each entry on the list of mounts on a mountpoint is selected and lazily unmounted until all of the mount have been lazily unmounted. v7: Wrote a proper change description and removed the changelog documenting deleted wrong turns.

2014-10-09vfs: Don't allow overwriting mounts in the current mount namespaceEric W. Biederman
In preparation for allowing mountpoints to be renamed and unlinked in remote filesystems and in other mount namespaces test if on a dentry there is a mount in the local mount namespace before allowing it to be renamed or unlinked. The primary motivation here are old versions of fusermount unmount which is not safe if the a path can be renamed or unlinked while it is verifying the mount is safe to unmount. More recent versions are simpler and safer by simply using UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW when unmounting a mount in a directory owned by an arbitrary user. Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> reports this is approach is good enough to remove concerns about new kernels mixed with old versions of fusermount. A secondary motivation for restrictions here is that it removing empty directories that have non-empty mount points on them appears to violate the rule that rmdir can not remove empty directories. As Linus Torvalds pointed out this is useful for programs (like git) that test if a directory is empty with rmdir. Therefore this patch arranges to enforce the existing mount point semantics for local mount namespace. v2: Rewrote the test to be a drop in replacement for d_mountpoint v3: Use bool instead of int as the return type of is_local_mountpoint Reviewed-by: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2014-10-09vfs: More precise tests in d_invalidateEric W. Biederman
The current comments in d_invalidate about what and why it is doing what it is doing are wildly off-base. Which is not surprising as the comments date back to last minute bug fix of the 2.2 kernel. The big fat lie of a comment said: If it's a directory, we can't drop it for fear of somebody re-populating it with children (even though dropping it would make it unreachable from that root, we still might repopulate it if it was a working directory or similar). [AV] What we really need to avoid is multiple dentry aliases of the same directory inode; on all filesystems that have ->d_revalidate() we either declare all positive dentries always valid (and thus never fed to d_invalidate()) or use d_materialise_unique() and/or d_splice_alias(), which take care of alias prevention. The current rules are: - To prevent mount point leaks dentries that are mount points or that have childrent that are mount points may not be be unhashed. - All dentries may be unhashed. - Directories may be rehashed with d_materialise_unique check_submounts_and_drop implements this already for well maintained remote filesystems so implement the current rules in d_invalidate by just calling check_submounts_and_drop. The one difference between d_invalidate and check_submounts_and_drop is that d_invalidate must respect it when a d_revalidate method has earlier called d_drop so preserve the d_unhashed check in d_invalidate.

2014-10-09delayed mntputAl Viro
On final mntput() we want fs shutdown to happen before return to userland; however, the only case where we want it happen right there (i.e. where task_work_add won't do) is MNT_INTERNAL victim. Those have to be fully synchronous - failure halfway through module init might count on having vfsmount killed right there. Fortunately, final mntput on MNT_INTERNAL vfsmounts happens on shallow stack. So we handle those synchronously and do an analog of delayed fput logics for everything else. As the result, we are guaranteed that fs shutdown will always happen on shallow stack. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2014-10-09autofs - remove obsolete d_invalidate() from expireIan Kent
Biederman's umount-on-rmdir series changes d_invalidate() to sumarily remove mounts under the passed in dentry regardless of whether they are busy or not. So calling this in fs/autofs4/expire.c:autofs4_tree_busy() is definitely the wrong thing to do becuase it will silently umount entries instead of just cleaning stale dentrys. But this call shouldn't be needed and testing shows that automounting continues to function without it. As Al Viro correctly surmises the original intent of the call was to perform what shrink_dcache_parent() does. If at some time in the future I see stale dentries accumulating following failed mounts I'll revisit the issue and possibly add a shrink_dcache_parent() call if needed.

2014-10-09Allow sharing external names after __d_move()Al Viro
* external dentry names get a small structure prepended to them (struct external_name). * it contains an atomic refcount, matching the number of struct dentry instances that have ->d_name.name pointing to that external name. The first thing free_dentry() does is decrementing refcount of external name, so the instances that are between the call of free_dentry() and RCU-delayed actual freeing do not contribute. * __d_move(x, y, false) makes the name of x equal to the name of y, external or not. If y has an external name, extra reference is grabbed and put into x->d_name.name. If x used to have an external name, the reference to the old name is dropped and, should it reach zero, freeing is scheduled via kfree_rcu(). * free_dentry() in dentry with external name decrements the refcount of that name and, should it reach zero, does RCU-delayed call that will free both the dentry and external name. Otherwise it does what it used to do, except that __d_free() doesn't even look at ->d_name.name; it simply frees the dentry. All non-RCU accesses to dentry external name are safe wrt freeing since they all should happen before free_dentry() is called. RCU accesses might run into a dentry seen by free_dentry() or into an old name that got already dropped by __d_move(); however, in both cases dentry must have been alive and refer to that name at some point after we'd done rcu_read_lock(), which means that any freeing must be still pending.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "Most notable changes in here: 1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of several individuals. Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires. skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to call the driver immediately with another SKB to send. There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in software is now done with no locks held. Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can be used to test a multi-send implementation. Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4, virtio_net Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to support this optimization soon. I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann, David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell. 2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon. 3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From Govindarajulu Varadarajan. 4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from Florian Fainelli. 5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled, but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen(). From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric Dumazet. 6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom Herbert. 7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian Fainelli. 8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive testsuite.

2014-10-09cxl: Fix afu_read() not doing finish_wait() on signal or non-blockingIan Munsie
If afu_read() returned due to a signal or the AFU file descriptor being opened non-blocking it would not call finish_wait() before returning, which could lead to a crash later when something else wakes up the wait queue. This patch restructures the wait logic to ensure that the cleanup is done correctly. Signed-off-by: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
2014-10-08tracing: Robustify wait loopPeter Zijlstra
The pending nested sleep debugging triggered on the potential stale TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE in this code. While there, fix the loop such that we won't revert to a while(1) yield() 'spin' loop if we ever get a spurious wakeup. And fix the actual issue by properly terminating the 'wait' loop by setting TASK_RUNNING.
