2016-09-27fs: Replace current_fs_time() with current_time()Deepa Dinamani
current_fs_time() uses struct super_block* as an argument. As per Linus's suggestion, this is changed to take struct inode* as a parameter instead. This is because the function is primarily meant for vfs inode timestamps. Also the function was renamed as per Arnd's suggestion. Change all calls to current_fs_time() to use the new current_time() function instead. current_fs_time() will be deleted.

2016-09-16configfs: Return -EFBIG from configfs_write_bin_file.Phil Turnbull
The check for writing more than cb_max_size bytes does not 'goto out' so it is a no-op which allows users to vmalloc an arbitrary amount.

2016-07-10configfs: don't set buffer_needs_fill to zero if show() returns errorTal Shorer
A confgifs attribute's show() callback is called once the first time the user attempts to read from it. If it returns an error, that error is returned to the user. However, the open file's buffer_needs_fill is still set to zero and consecutive read() calls will find an empty buffer that doesn't need filling and return 0 to the user. This could give the user the wrong impression that the attribute was read successfully. Fix this by not setting buffer_needs_fill if show() returns an error, making consecutive read() calls call show() again and either get an error again or get data.

2016-06-30configfs: Remove ppos increment in configfs_write_bin_fileMarek Vasut
The simple_write_to_buffer() already increments the @ppos on success, see fs/libfs.c simple_write_to_buffer() comment: " On success, the number of bytes written is returned and the offset @ppos advanced by this number, or negative value is returned on error. " If the configfs_write_bin_file() is invoked with @count smaller than the total length of the written binary file, it will be invoked multiple times. Since configfs_write_bin_file() increments @ppos on success, after calling simple_write_to_buffer(), the @ppos is incremented twice. Subsequent invocation of configfs_write_bin_file() will result in the next piece of data being written to the offset twice as long as the length of the previous write, thus creating buffer with "holes" in it. The simple testcase using DTO follows: $ mkdir /sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/1 $ dd bs=1 if=foo.dtbo of=/sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/1/dtbo Without this patch, the testcase will result in twice as big buffer in the kernel, which is then passed to the cfs_overlay_item_dtbo_write() .

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

ConfigFS lacked binary attributes up until now. This patch introduces support for binary attributes in a somewhat similar manner of sysfs binary attributes albeit with changes that fit the configfs usage model. Problems that configfs binary attributes fix are everything that requires a binary blob as part of the configuration of a resource, such as bitstream loading for FPGAs, DTBs for dynamically created devices etc. Look at Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt for internals and howto use them.

2015-12-20fs: configfs: Add unlocked version of configfs_depend_item()Krzysztof Opasiak
This change is necessary for the SCSI target usb gadget composed with configfs. In this case configfs will be used for two different purposes: to compose a usb gadget and to configure the target part. If an instance of tcm function is created in $CONFIGFS_ROOT/usb_gadget/<gadget>/functions a tpg can be created in $CONFIGFS_ROOT/target/usb_gadget/<wwn>/, but after a tpg is created the tcm function must not be removed until its corresponding tpg is gone. While the configfs_depend/undepend_item() are meant exactly for creating this kind of dependencies, they are not suitable if the other kernel subsystem happens to be another subsystem in configfs, so this patch adds unlocked versions meant for configfs callbacks. Above description has been provided by: Andrzej Pietrasiewicz <andrzej.p@samsung.com> In configfs_depend_item() we have to consider two possible cases: 1) When we are called to depend another item in the same subsystem as caller In this case we should skip locking configfs root as we know that configfs is in valid state and our subsystem will not be unregistered during this call. 2) When we are called to depend item in different subsystem than our caller In this case we are also sure that configfs is in valid state but we have to lock root of configfs to avoid unregistration of target's subsystem. As it is other than caller's subsystem, there may be nothing what protects us against unregistration of that subsystem.

2015-12-08replace ->follow_link() with new method that could stay in RCU modeAl Viro
new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link(). The differences are: * inode and dentry are passed separately * might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode; the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry. * when called that way it isn't allowed to block and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called in non-RCU mode. It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances converted. Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode. That'll change in the next commits. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-11-20configfs: allow dynamic group creationDaniel Baluta
This patchset introduces IIO software triggers, offers a way of configuring them via configfs and adds the IIO hrtimer based interrupt source to be used with software triggers. The architecture is now split in 3 parts, to remove all IIO trigger specific parts from IIO configfs core: (1) IIO configfs - creates the root of the IIO configfs subsys. (2) IIO software triggers - software trigger implementation, dynamically creating /config/iio/triggers group. (3) IIO hrtimer trigger - is the first interrupt source for software triggers (with syfs to follow). Each trigger type can implement its own set of attributes. Lockdep seems to be happy with the locking in configfs patch. This patch (of 5): We don't want to hardcode default groups at subsystem creation time. We export: * configfs_register_group * configfs_unregister_group to allow drivers to programatically create/destroy groups later, after module init time. This is needed for IIO configfs support.

2015-07-17configfs: fix kernel infoleak through user-controlled format stringNicolas Iooss
Some modules call config_item_init_type_name() and config_group_init_type_name() with parameter "name" directly controlled by userspace. These two functions call config_item_set_name() with this name used as a format string, which can be used to leak information such as content of the stack to userspace. For example, make_netconsole_target() in netconsole module calls config_item_init_type_name() with the name of a newly-created directory. This means that the following commands give some unexpected output, with configfs mounted in /sys/kernel/config/ and on a system with a configured eth0 ethernet interface: # modprobe netconsole # mkdir /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx # echo eth0 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/dev_name # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/enabled # echo eth0 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/dev_name # dmesg |tail -n1 [ 142.697668] netconsole: target (target_ffffffffc0ae8080) is enabled, disable to update parameters The directory name is correct but %lx has been interpreted in the internal item name, displayed here in the error message used by store_dev_name() in drivers/net/netconsole.c. To fix this, update every caller of config_item_set_name to use "%s" when operating on untrusted input. This issue was found using -Wformat-security gcc flag, once a __printf attribute has been added to config_item_set_name().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "Long ago and far away when user namespaces where young it was realized that allowing fresh mounts of proc and sysfs with only user namespace permissions could violate the basic rule that only root gets to decide if proc or sysfs should be mounted at all. Some hacks were put in place to reduce the worst of the damage could be done, and the common sense rule was adopted that fresh mounts of proc and sysfs should allow no more than bind mounts of proc and sysfs. Unfortunately that rule has not been fully enforced. There are two kinds of gaps in that enforcement. Only filesystems mounted on empty directories of proc and sysfs should be ignored but the test for empty directories was insufficient. So in my tree directories on proc, sysctl and sysfs that will always be empty are created specially. Every other technique is imperfect as an ordinary directory can have entries added even after a readdir returns and shows that the directory is empty. Special creation of directories for mount points makes the code in the kernel a smidge clearer about it's purpose. I asked container developers from the various container projects to help test this and no holes were found in the set of mount points on proc and sysfs that are created specially. This set of changes also starts enforcing the mount flags of fresh mounts of proc and sysfs are consistent with the existing mount of proc and sysfs. I expected this to be the boring part of the work but unfortunately unprivileged userspace winds up mounting fresh copies of proc and sysfs with noexec and nosuid clear when root set those flags on the previous mount of proc and sysfs. So for now only the atime, read-only and nodev attributes which userspace happens to keep consistent are enforced. Dealing with the noexec and nosuid attributes remains for another time. This set of changes also addresses an issue with how open file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/ns/* are displayed. Recently readlink of /proc/<pid>/fd has been triggering a WARN_ON that has not been meaningful since it was added (as all of the code in the kernel was converted) and is not now actively wrong. There is also a short list of issues that have not been fixed yet that I will mention briefly. It is possible to rename a directory from below to above a bind mount. At which point any directory pointers below the renamed directory can be walked up to the root directory of the filesystem. With user namespaces enabled a bind mount of the bind mount can be created allowing the user to pick a directory whose children they can rename to outside of the bind mount. This is challenging to fix and doubly so because all obvious solutions must touch code that is in the performance part of pathname resolution. As mentioned above there is also a question of how to ensure that developers by accident or with purpose do not introduce exectuable files on sysfs and proc and in doing so introduce security regressions in the current userspace that will not be immediately obvious and as such are likely to require breaking userspace in painful ways once they are recognized" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: vfs: Remove incorrect debugging WARN in prepend_path mnt: Update fs_fully_visible to test for permanently empty directories sysfs: Create mountpoints with sysfs_create_mount_point sysfs: Add support for permanently empty directories to serve as mount points. kernfs: Add support for always empty directories. proc: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mount points sysctl: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mountpoints. fs: Add helper functions for permanently empty directories. vfs: Ignore unlocked mounts in fs_fully_visible mnt: Modify fs_fully_visible to deal with locked ro nodev and atime mnt: Refactor the logic for mounting sysfs and proc in a user namespace

2015-05-10new ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventionsAl Viro
a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_ that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns the symlink body. Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks. Stored pointer is ignored in all cases except the last one. Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call of ->put_link(). b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata). Now only the opaque pointer is. In the cases when we used the symlink body to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition to returning it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-05-05configfs: init configfs module earlier at boot timeDaniel Baluta
We need this earlier in the boot process to allow various subsystems to use configfs (e.g Industrial IIO). Also, debugfs is at core_initcall level and configfs should be on the same level from infrastructure point of view.

2015-02-20configfs: Fix potential NULL d_inode dereferenceDavid Howells
Code that does this: if (!(d_unhashed(dentry) && dentry->d_inode)) { ... simple_unlink(parent->d_inode, dentry); } is broken because: !(d_unhashed(dentry) && dentry->d_inode) is equivalent to: !d_unhashed(dentry) || !dentry->d_inode so it is possible to get into simple_unlink() with dentry->d_inode == NULL. simple_unlink(), however, assumes dentry->d_inode cannot be NULL. I think that what was meant is this: !d_unhashed(dentry) && dentry->d_inode and that the logical-not operator or the final close-bracket was misplaced.

2015-01-20fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap supportChristoph Hellwig
Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated to it's original purpose. Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for the mtd_inodefs filesystem.
