linux-stable.git/fs/fuse/dir.c, branch v3.9

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2013-02-27T04:16:07+00:00

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
 "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
  locking violations, etc.

  The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
  "has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
  to inode.  Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.

  Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
  several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

  PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

fuse: allow control of adaptive readdirplus use

2013-02-07T13:25:44+00:00

For some filesystems (e.g. GlusterFS), the cost of performing a
normal readdir and readdirplus are identical.  Since adaptively
using readdirplus has no benefit for those systems, give
users/filesystems the option to control adaptive readdirplus use.

v2 of this patch incorporates Miklos's suggestion to simplify the code,
as well as improving consistency of macro names and documentation.

fuse: don't WARN when nlink is zero

2013-02-04T14:57:42+00:00

drop_nlink() warns if nlink is already zero.  This is triggerable by a buggy
userspace filesystem.  The cure, I think, is worse than the disease so disable
the warning.

FUSE: Adapt readdirplus to application usage patterns

2013-01-31T16:08:11+00:00

Use the same adaptive readdirplus mechanism as NFS:

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfs/49299

If the user space implementation wants to disable readdirplus
temporarily, it could just return ENOTSUPP. Then kernel will
recall it with readdir.

Do not use RCU for current process credentials

2013-01-31T16:08:10+00:00

Commit c69e8d9c0 added rcu lock to fuse/dir.c It was assuming
that 'task' is some other process but in fact this parameter always
equals to 'current'. Inline this parameter to make it more readable
and remove RCU lock as it is not needed when access current process
credentials.

fuse: use req->page_descs[] for argpages cases

2013-01-24T15:21:27+00:00

Previously, anyone who set flag 'argpages' only filled req->pages[] and set
per-request page_offset. This patch re-works all cases where argpages=1 to
fill req->page_descs[] properly.

Having req->page_descs[] filled properly allows to re-work fuse_copy_pages()
to copy page fragments described by req->page_descs[]. This will be useful
for next patches optimizing direct_IO.

fuse: categorize fuse_get_req()

2013-01-24T15:21:25+00:00

The patch categorizes all fuse_get_req() invocations into two categories:
 - fuse_get_req_nopages(fc) - when caller doesn't care about req->pages
 - fuse_get_req(fc, n) - when caller need n page pointers (n > 0)

Adding fuse_get_req_nopages() helps to avoid numerous fuse_get_req(fc, 0)
scattered over code. Now it's clear from the first glance when a caller need
fuse_req with page pointers.

The patch doesn't make any logic changes. In multi-page case, it silly
allocates array of FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ page pointers. This will be amended
by future patches.

fuse: implement NFS-like readdirplus support

2013-01-24T15:21:25+00:00

This patch implements readdirplus support in FUSE, similar to NFS.
The payload returned in the readdirplus call contains
'fuse_entry_out' structure thereby providing all the necessary inputs
for 'faking' a lookup() operation on the spot.

If the dentry and inode already existed (for e.g. in a re-run of ls -l)
then just the inode attributes timeout and dentry timeout are refreshed.

With a simple client->network->server implementation of a FUSE based
filesystem, the following performance observations were made:

Test: Performing a filesystem crawl over 20,000 files with

sh# time ls -lR /mnt

Without readdirplus:
Run 1: 18.1s
Run 2: 16.0s
Run 3: 16.2s

With readdirplus:
Run 1: 4.1s
Run 2: 3.8s
Run 3: 3.8s

The performance improvement is significant as it avoided 20,000 upcalls
calls (lookup). Cache consistency is no worse than what already is.

userns: Support fuse interacting with multiple user namespaces

2012-11-15T06:05:33+00:00

Use kuid_t and kgid_t in struct fuse_conn and struct fuse_mount_data.

The connection between between a fuse filesystem and a fuse daemon is
established when a fuse filesystem is mounted and provided with a file
descriptor the fuse daemon created by opening /dev/fuse.

For now restrict the communication of uids and gids between the fuse
filesystem and the fuse daemon to the initial user namespace.  Enforce
this by verifying the file descriptor passed to the mount of fuse was
opened in the initial user namespace.  Ensuring the mount happens in
the initial user namespace is not necessary as mounts from non-initial
user namespaces are not yet allowed.

In fuse_req_init_context convert the currrent fsuid and fsgid into the
initial user namespace for the request that will be sent to the fuse
daemon.

In fuse_fill_attr convert the uid and gid passed from the fuse daemon
from the initial user namespace into kuids and kgids.

In iattr_to_fattr called from fuse_setattr convert kuids and kgids
into the uids and gids in the initial user namespace before passing
them to the fuse filesystem.

In fuse_change_attributes_common called from fuse_dentry_revalidate,
fuse_permission, fuse_geattr, and fuse_setattr, and fuse_iget convert
the uid and gid from the fuse daemon into a kuid and a kgid to store
on the fuse inode.

By default fuse mounts are restricted to task whose uid, suid, and
euid matches the fuse user_id and whose gid, sgid, and egid matches
the fuse group id.  Convert the user_id and group_id mount options
into kuids and kgids at mount time, and use uid_eq and gid_eq to
compare the in fuse_allow_task.
