fs: Give dentry to inode_change_ok() instead of inode

2017-02-23T03:53:52+00:00

commit 31051c85b5e2aaaf6315f74c72a732673632a905 upstream.

inode_change_ok() will be resposible for clearing capabilities and IMA
extended attributes and as such will need dentry. Give it as an argument
to inode_change_ok() instead of an inode. Also rename inode_change_ok()
to setattr_prepare() to better relect that it does also some
modifications in addition to checks.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Drop changes to orangefs, overlayfs
 - Adjust filenames, context
 - In nfsd, pass dentry to nfsd_sanitize_attrs()
 - Update ext3 as well]

Revert "fs: Give dentry to inode_change_ok() instead of inode"

2017-02-23T03:53:52+00:00

This reverts commit be9df699432235753c3824b0f5a27d46de7fdc9e, which was
commit 31051c85b5e2aaaf6315f74c72a732673632a905 upstream.  The backport
breaks fuse and makes a mess of xfs, which can be improved by picking
further upstream commits as I should have done in the first place.

proc: more readdir conversion bug-fixes

2013-08-19T23:26:12+00:00

In the previous commit, Richard Genoud fixed proc_root_readdir(), which
had lost the check for whether all of the non-process /proc entries had
been returned or not.

But that in turn exposed _another_ bug, namely that the original readdir
conversion patch had yet another problem: it had lost the return value
of proc_readdir_de(), so now checking whether it had completed
successfully or not didn't actually work right anyway.

This reinstates the non-zero return for the "end of base entries" that
had also gotten lost in commit f0c3b5093add ("[readdir] convert
procfs").  So now you get all the base entries *and* you get all the
process entries, regardless of getdents buffer size.

(Side note: the Linux "getdents" manual page actually has a nice example
application for testing getdents, which can be easily modified to use
different buffers.  Who knew? Man-pages can be useful)

proc: Make the PROC_I() and PDE() macros internal to procfs

2013-05-01T21:29:47+00:00

Make the PROC_I() and PDE() macros internal to procfs.  This means making
PDE_DATA() out of line.  This could be made more optimal by storing
PDE()->data into inode->i_private.

Also provide a __PDE_DATA() that is inline and internal to procfs.
