Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57+00:00

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

vfs: allow some remap flags to be passed to vfs_clone_file_range

2018-12-04T16:50:49+00:00

In overlayfs, ovl_remap_file_range calls vfs_clone_file_range on the
lower filesystem's inode, passing through whatever remap flags it got
from its caller.  Since vfs_copy_file_range first tries a filesystem's
remap function with REMAP_FILE_CAN_SHORTEN, this can get passed through
to the second vfs_copy_file_range call, and this isn't an issue.
Change the WARN_ON to look only for the DEDUP flag.

vfs: vfs_dedupe_file_range() doesn't return EOPNOTSUPP

2018-11-21T18:10:54+00:00

It returns EINVAL when the operation is not supported by the
filesystem. Fix it to return EOPNOTSUPP to be consistent with
the man page and clone_file_range().

Clean up the inconsistent error return handling while I'm there.

Pull vfs dedup fixes from Dave Chinner:
 "This reworks the vfs data cloning infrastructure.

  We discovered many issues with these interfaces late in the 4.19 cycle
  - the worst of them (data corruption, setuid stripping) were fixed for
  XFS in 4.19-rc8, but a larger rework of the infrastructure fixing all
  the problems was needed. That rework is the contents of this pull
  request.

  Rework the vfs_clone_file_range and vfs_dedupe_file_range
  infrastructure to use a common .remap_file_range method and supply
  generic bounds and sanity checking functions that are shared with the
  data write path. The current VFS infrastructure has problems with
  rlimit, LFS file sizes, file time stamps, maximum filesystem file
  sizes, stripping setuid bits, etc and so they are addressed in these
  commits.

  We also introduce the ability for the ->remap_file_range methods to
  return short clones so that clones for vfs_copy_file_range() don't get
  rejected if the entire range can't be cloned. It also allows
  filesystems to sliently skip deduplication of partial EOF blocks if
  they are not capable of doing so without requiring errors to be thrown
  to userspace.

  Existing filesystems are converted to user the new remap_file_range
  method, and both XFS and ocfs2 are modified to make use of the new
  generic checking infrastructure"

Since the remap prep function can update the length of the remap
request, we can change this function to return the usual return status
instead of the odd behavior it has now.

vfs: enable remap callers that can handle short operations

2018-10-29T23:42:10+00:00

Plumb in a remap flag that enables the filesystem remap handler to
shorten remapping requests for callers that can handle it.  Now
copy_file_range can report partial success (in case we run up against
alignment problems, resource limits, etc.).

We also enable CAN_SHORTEN for fideduperange to maintain existing
userspace-visible behavior where xfs/btrfs shorten the dedupe range to
avoid stale post-eof data exposure.
