[PATCH] fuse: fix Oops in lookup

2006-12-02T00:12:37+00:00

Fix bug in certain error paths of lookup routines.  The request object was
reused for sending FORGET, which is illegal.  This bug could cause an Oops
in 2.6.18.  In earlier versions it might silently corrupt memory, but this
is very unlikely.

These error paths are never triggered by libfuse, so this wasn't noticed
even with the 2.6.18 kernel, only with a filesystem using the raw kernel
interface.

Thanks to Russ Cox for the bug report and test filesystem.

[PATCH] fuse: fix hang on SMP

2006-11-04T01:33:47+00:00

Fuse didn't always call i_size_write() with i_mutex held which caused
rare hangs on SMP/32bit.  This bug has been present since fuse-2.2,
well before being merged into mainline.

The simplest solution is to protect i_size_write() with the
per-connection spinlock.  Using i_mutex for this purpose would require
some restructuring of the code and I'm not even sure it's always safe
to acquire i_mutex in all places i_size needs to be set.

Since most of vmtruncate is already duplicated for other reasons,
duplicate the remaining part as well, making all i_size_write() calls
internal to fuse.

Using i_size_write() was unnecessary in fuse_init_inode(), since this
function is only called on a newly created locked inode.

Reported by a few people over the years, but special thanks to Dana
Henriksen who was persistent enough in helping me debug it.

[PATCH] fuse: fix error case in fuse_readpages

Don't let fuse_readpages leave the @pages list not empty when exiting
on error.

[PATCH] fuse: use jiffies_64

2006-07-31T20:28:43+00:00

It is entirely possible (though rare) that jiffies half-wraps around, while a
dentry/inode remains in the cache.  This could mean that the dentry/inode is
not invalidated for another half wraparound-time.

To get around this problem, use 64-bit jiffies.  The only problem with this is
that dentry->d_time is 32 bits on 32-bit archs.  So use d_fsdata as the high
32 bits.  This is an ugly hack, but far simpler, than having to allocate
private data just for this purpose.

Since 64-bit jiffies can be assumed never to wrap around, simple comparison
can be used, and a zero time value can represent "invalid".

[PATCH] fuse: fix zero timeout

2006-07-31T20:28:43+00:00

An attribute and entry timeout of zero should mean, that the entity is
invalidated immediately after the operation.  Previously invalidation only
happened at the next clock tick.

Reported and tested by Craig Davies.

[PATCH] mark address_space_operations const

Same as with already do with the file operations: keep them in .rodata and
prevents people from doing runtime patching.

[PATCH] fuse: scramble lock owner ID

2006-06-25T17:01:20+00:00

VFS uses current->files pointer as lock owner ID, and it wouldn't be
prudent to expose this value to userspace.  So scramble it with XTEA using
a per connection random key, known only to the kernel.  Only one direction
needs to be implemented, since the ID is never sent in the reverse
direction.

The XTEA algorithm is implemented inline since it's simple enough to do so,
and this adds less complexity than if the crypto API were used.

Thanks to Jesper Juhl for the idea.

[PATCH] fuse: add request interruption

2006-06-25T17:01:19+00:00

Add synchronous request interruption.  This is needed for file locking
operations which have to be interruptible.  However filesystem may implement
interruptibility of other operations (e.g.  like NFS 'intr' mount option).
