hostfs: Freeing an ERR_PTR in hostfs_fill_sb_common()

2016-10-06T06:21:59+00:00

commit 8a545f185145e3c09348cd74326268ecfc6715a3 upstream.

We can't pass error pointers to kfree() or it causes an oops.

uml: fix hostfs mknod()

2016-03-03T11:46:01+00:00

commit 9f2dfda2f2f1c6181c3732c16b85c59ab2d195e0 upstream.

An inverted return value check in hostfs_mknod() caused the function
to return success after handling it as an error (and cleaning up).

It resulted in the following segfault when trying to bind() a named
unix socket:

um: hostfs: Fix writeback

2013-09-07T08:38:29+00:00

We have to implement ->release() and trigger writeback from it.
Otherwise we might lose dirty pages at munmap().

hostfs: use kmalloc instead of kzalloc

2013-05-04T19:48:45+00:00

The inode info structure is zeroed at allocation with kzalloc, and then
all but one of the fields (including the largest, vfs_inode) are
initialised explicitly. Switch to using kmalloc and initialise the
remaining field too.

hostfs: remove "will unlock" comment

2013-05-04T19:48:44+00:00

A "will unlock" comment was added to hostfs in the following commit,
along with a spinlock:

Commit e9193059b1b3733695d5b80e667778311695aa73 ("hostfs: fix races in
dentry_name() and inode_name()").

But the spinlock was subsequently removed in the following commit:

Commit ec2447c278ee973d35f38e53ca16ba7f965ae33d ("hostfs: simplify
locking").

Since the comment is no longer applicable, remove it.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

2013-03-13T22:47:50+00:00

Pull namespace bugfixes from Eric Biederman:
 "This tree includes a partial revert for "fs: Limit sys_mount to only
  request filesystem modules." When I added the new style module aliases
  to the filesystems I deleted the old ones.  A bad move.  It turns out
  that distributions like Arch linux use module aliases when
  constructing ramdisks.  Which meant ultimately that an ext3 filesystem
  mounted with ext4 would not result in the ext4 module being put into
  the ramdisk.

  The other change in this tree adds a handful of filesystem module
  alias I simply failed to add the first time.  Which inconvinienced a
  few folks using cifs.

  I don't want to inconvinience folks any longer than I have to so here
  are these trivial fixes."

Somehow I failed to add the MODULE_ALIAS_FS for cifs, hostfs, hpfs,
squashfs, and udf despite what I thought were my careful checks :(

Add them now.

hostfs: fix a not needed double check

2013-03-11T09:08:02+00:00

With the commit 3be2be0a32c18b0fd6d623cda63174a332ca0de1 we removed vmtruncate,
but actaully there is no need to call inode_newsize_ok() because the checks are
already done in inode_change_ok() at the begin of the function.
