2014-04-12fs: disallow all fallocate operation on active swapfileLukas Czerner
Currently some file system have IS_SWAPFILE check in their fallocate implementations and some do not. However we should really prevent any fallocate operation on swapfile so move the check to vfs and remove the redundant checks from the file systems fallocate implementations.

2014-04-12fs: move falloc collapse range check into the filesystem methodsLukas Czerner
Currently in do_fallocate in collapse range case we're checking whether offset + len is not bigger than i_size. However there is nothing which would prevent i_size from changing so the check is pointless. It should be done in the file system itself and the file system needs to make sure that i_size is not going to change. The i_size check for the other fallocate modes are also done in the filesystems. As it is now we can easily crash the kernel by having two processes doing truncate and fallocate collapse range at the same time. This can be reproduced on ext4 and it is theoretically possible on xfs even though I was not able to trigger it with this simple test. This commit removes the check from do_fallocate and adds it to the file system.

2014-03-13fs: Introduce FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE flag for fallocateLukas Czerner
Introduce new FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE flag for fallocate. This has the same functionality as xfs ioctl XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE. It can be used to convert a range of file to zeros preferably without issuing data IO. Blocks should be preallocated for the regions that span holes in the file, and the entire range is preferable converted to unwritten extents - even though file system may choose to zero out the extent or do whatever which will result in reading zeros from the range while the range remains allocated for the file. This can be also used to preallocate blocks past EOF in the same way as with fallocate. Flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE which should cause the inode size to remain the same.

2014-03-10vfs: atomic f_pos accesses as per POSIXLinus Torvalds
Our write() system call has always been atomic in the sense that you get the expected thread-safe contiguous write, but we haven't actually guaranteed that concurrent writes are serialized wrt f_pos accesses, so threads (or processes) that share a file descriptor and use "write()" concurrently would quite likely overwrite each others data. This violates POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4 Section XSI 2.9.7 that says: "2.9.7 Thread Interactions with Regular File Operations All of the following functions shall be atomic with respect to each other in the effects specified in POSIX.1-2008 when they operate on regular files or symbolic links: [...]" and one of the effects is the file position update. This unprotected file position behavior is not new behavior, and nobody has ever cared. Until now. Yongzhi Pan reported unexpected behavior to Michael Kerrisk that was due to this. This resolves the issue with a f_pos-specific lock that is taken by read/write/lseek on file descriptors that may be shared across threads or processes.

2014-02-24fs: Add new flag(FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE) for fallocateNamjae Jeon
This patch is in response of the following post: http://lwn.net/Articles/556136/ "ext4: introduce two new ioctls" Dave chinner suggested that truncate_block_range (which was one of the ioctls name) should be a fallocate operation and not any fs specific ioctl, hence we add this functionality to new flags of fallocate. This new functionality of collapsing range could be used by media editing tools which does non linear editing to quickly purge and edit parts of a media file. This will immensely improve the performance of these operations. The limitation of fs block size aligned offsets can be easily handled by media codecs which are encapsulated in a conatiner as they have to just change the offset to next keyframe value to match the proper alignment.

2012-10-12vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return itJeff Layton
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-10-12audit: set the name_len in audit_inode for parent lookupsJeff Layton
Currently, this gets set mostly by happenstance when we call into audit_inode_child. While that might be a little more efficient, it seems wrong. If the syscall ends up failing before audit_inode_child ever gets called, then you'll have an audit_names record that shows the full path but has the parent inode info attached. Fix this by passing in a parent flag when we call audit_inode that gets set to the value of LOOKUP_PARENT. We can then fix up the pathname for the audit entry correctly from the get-go. While we're at it, clean up the no-op macro for audit_inode in the !CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL case. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

As it is, we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of struct file we used to have way back). A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives, disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file leak. - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have). - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and switch of fdinfo to seq_file. - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to take that commit than mess with conflicts.

This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review. The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network. Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues. The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int. Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to handle those places with simple trivial patches. Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before. Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts for most of the code size growth in my git tree. Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications. While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty. Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no problems from identical code from different trees showing up in linux-next. After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."
