2019-03-20kernfs: clean up struct kernfs_iattrsOndrej Mosnacek
Right now, kernfs_iattrs embeds the whole struct iattr, even though it doesn't really use half of its fields... This both leads to wasting space and makes the code look awkward. Let's just list the few fields we need directly in struct kernfs_iattrs.

2018-09-16kernfs: Fix range checks in kernfs_get_target_pathBernd Edlinger
The terminating NUL byte is only there because the buffer is allocated with kzalloc(PAGE_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL), but since the range-check is off-by-one, and PAGE_SIZE==PATH_MAX, the returned string may not be zero-terminated if it is exactly PATH_MAX characters long. Furthermore also the initial loop may theoretically exceed PATH_MAX and cause a fault.

2018-07-20kernfs: allow creating kernfs objects with arbitrary uid/gidDmitry Torokhov
This change allows creating kernfs files and directories with arbitrary uid/gid instead of always using GLOBAL_ROOT_UID/GID by extending kernfs_create_dir_ns() and kernfs_create_file_ns() with uid/gid arguments. The "simple" kernfs_create_file() and kernfs_create_dir() are left alone and always create objects belonging to the global root. When creating symlinks ownership (uid/gid) is taken from the target kernfs object.

2017-07-29kernfs: don't set dentry->d_fsdataShaohua Li
When working on adding exportfs operations in kernfs, I found it's hard to initialize dentry->d_fsdata in the exportfs operations. Looks there is no way to do it without race condition. Look at the kernfs code closely, there is no point to set dentry->d_fsdata. inode->i_private already points to kernfs_node, and we can get inode from a dentry. So this patch just delete the d_fsdata usage.

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.

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>
2014-02-07kernfs: remove kernfs_addrm_cxtTejun Heo
kernfs_addrm_cxt and the accompanying kernfs_addrm_start/finish() were added because there were operations which should be performed outside kernfs_mutex after adding and removing kernfs_nodes. The necessary operations were recorded in kernfs_addrm_cxt and performed by kernfs_addrm_finish(); however, after the recent changes which relocated deactivation and unmapping so that they're performed directly during removal, the only operation kernfs_addrm_finish() performs is kernfs_put(), which can be moved inside the removal path too. This patch moves the kernfs_put() of the base ref to __kernfs_remove() and remove kernfs_addrm_cxt and kernfs_addrm_start/finish(). * kernfs_add_one() is updated to grab and release kernfs_mutex itself. sysfs_addrm_start/finish() invocations around it are removed from all users. * __kernfs_remove() puts an unlinked node directly instead of chaining it to kernfs_addrm_cxt. Its callers are updated to grab and release kernfs_mutex instead of calling kernfs_addrm_start/finish() around it. v2: Rebased on top of "kernfs: associate a new kernfs_node with its parent on creation" which dropped @parent from kernfs_add_one().

2014-01-17kernfs: associate a new kernfs_node with its parent on creationTejun Heo
Once created, a kernfs_node is always destroyed by kernfs_put(). Since ba7443bc656e ("sysfs, kernfs: implement kernfs_create/destroy_root()"), kernfs_put() depends on kernfs_root() to locate the ino_ida. kernfs_root() in turn depends on kernfs_node->parent being set for !dir nodes. This means that kernfs_put() of a !dir node requires its ->parent to be initialized. This leads to oops when a newly created !dir node is destroyed without going through kernfs_add_one() or after failing kernfs_add_one() before ->parent is set. kernfs_root() invoked from kernfs_put() will try to dereference NULL parent. Fix it by moving parent association to kernfs_new_node() from kernfs_add_one(). kernfs_new_node() now takes @parent instead of @root and determines the root from the parent and also sets the new node's parent properly. @parent parameter is removed from kernfs_add_one(). As there's no parent when creating the root node, __kernfs_new_node() which takes @root as before and doesn't set the parent is used in that case. This ensures that a kernfs_node in any stage in its life has its parent associated and thus can be put.

2014-01-10kernfs: remove KERNFS_REMOVEDTejun Heo
KERNFS_REMOVED is used to mark half-initialized and dying nodes so that they don't show up in lookups and deny adding new nodes under or renaming it; however, its role overlaps those of deactivation and removal from rbtree. It's necessary to deny addition of new children while removal is in progress; however, this role considerably intersects with deactivation - KERNFS_REMOVED prevents new children while deactivation prevents new file operations. There's no reason to have them separate making things more complex than necessary. KERNFS_REMOVED is also used to decide whether a node is still visible to vfs layer, which is rather redundant as equivalent determination can be made by testing whether the node is on its parent's children rbtree or not. This patch removes KERNFS_REMOVED. * Instead of KERNFS_REMOVED, each node now starts its life deactivated. This means that we now use both atomic_add() and atomic_sub() on KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS, which is INT_MIN. The compiler generates an overflow warnings when negating INT_MIN as the negation can't be represented as a positive number. Nothing is actually broken but let's bump BIAS by one to avoid the warnings for archs which negates the subtrahend.. * KERNFS_REMOVED tests in add and rename paths are replaced with kernfs_get/put_active() of the target nodes. Due to the way the add path is structured now, active ref handling is done in the callers of kernfs_add_one(). This will be consolidated up later. * kernfs_remove_one() is updated to deactivate instead of setting KERNFS_REMOVED. This removes deactivation from kernfs_deactivate(), which is now renamed to kernfs_drain(). * kernfs_dop_revalidate() now tests RB_EMPTY_NODE(&kn->rb) instead of KERNFS_REMOVED and KERNFS_REMOVED test in kernfs_dir_pos() is dropped. A node which is removed from the children rbtree is not included in the iteration in the first place. This means that a node may be visible through vfs a bit longer - it's now also visible after deactivation until the actual removal. This slightly enlarged window difference doesn't make any difference to the userland. * Sanity check on KERNFS_REMOVED in kernfs_put() is replaced with checks on the active ref. * Some comment style updates in the affected area. v2: Reordered before removal path restructuring. kernfs_active() dropped and kernfs_get/put_active() used instead. RB_EMPTY_NODE() used in the lookup paths. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2013-12-04kernfs: implement "trusted.*" xattr supportTejun Heo
kernfs inherited "security.*" xattr support from sysfs. This patch extends xattr support to "trusted.*" using simple_xattr_*(). As trusted xattrs are restricted to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, simple_xattr_*() which uses kernel memory for storage shouldn't be problematic. Note that the existing "security.*" support doesn't implement get/remove/list and the this patch only implements those ops for "trusted.*". We probably want to extend those ops to include support for "security.*". This patch will allow using kernfs from cgroup which requires "trusted.*" xattr support.
