fs: add file_dentry()

2016-03-26T20:14:37+00:00

This series fixes bugs in nfs and ext4 due to 4bacc9c9234c ("overlayfs:
Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay").

Regular files opened on overlayfs will result in the file being opened on
the underlying filesystem, while f_path points to the overlayfs
mount/dentry.

This confuses filesystems which get the dentry from struct file and assume
it's theirs.

Add a new helper, file_dentry() [*], to get the filesystem's own dentry
from the file.  This checks file->f_path.dentry->d_flags against
DCACHE_OP_REAL, and returns file->f_path.dentry if DCACHE_OP_REAL is not
set (this is the common, non-overlayfs case).

In the uncommon case it will call into overlayfs's ->d_real() to get the
underlying dentry, matching file_inode(file).

The reason we need to check against the inode is that if the file is copied
up while being open, d_real() would return the upper dentry, while the open
file comes from the lower dentry.

[*] If possible, it's better simply to use file_inode() instead.

Merge tag 'for-f2fs-4.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs

2016-03-21T18:03:02+00:00

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "New Features:
   - uplift filesystem encryption into fs/crypto/
   - give sysfs entries to control memroy consumption

  Enhancements:
   - aio performance by preallocating blocks in ->write_iter
   - use writepages lock for only WB_SYNC_ALL
   - avoid redundant inline_data conversion
   - enhance forground GC
   - use wait_for_stable_page as possible
   - speed up SEEK_DATA and fiiemap

  Bug Fixes:
   - corner case in terms of -ENOSPC for inline_data
   - hung task caused by long latency in shrinker
   - corruption between atomic write and f2fs_trace_pid
   - avoid garbage lengths in dentries
   - revoke atomicly written pages if an error occurs

  In addition, there are various minor bug fixes and clean-ups"

fs crypto: move per-file encryption from f2fs tree to fs/crypto

2016-03-18T04:19:33+00:00

This patch adds the renamed functions moved from the f2fs crypto files.

1. definitions for per-file encryption used by ext4 and f2fs.

2. crypto.c for encrypt/decrypt functions
 a. IO preparation:
  - fscrypt_get_ctx / fscrypt_release_ctx
 b. before IOs:
  - fscrypt_encrypt_page
  - fscrypt_decrypt_page
  - fscrypt_zeroout_range
 c. after IOs:
  - fscrypt_decrypt_bio_pages
  - fscrypt_pullback_bio_page
  - fscrypt_restore_control_page

3. policy.c supporting context management.
 a. For ioctls:
  - fscrypt_process_policy
  - fscrypt_get_policy
 b. For context permission
  - fscrypt_has_permitted_context
  - fscrypt_inherit_context

4. keyinfo.c to handle permissions
  - fscrypt_get_encryption_info
  - fscrypt_free_encryption_info

5. fname.c to support filename encryption
 a. general wrapper functions
  - fscrypt_fname_disk_to_usr
  - fscrypt_fname_usr_to_disk
  - fscrypt_setup_filename
  - fscrypt_free_filename

 b. specific filename handling functions
  - fscrypt_fname_alloc_buffer
  - fscrypt_fname_free_buffer

6. Makefile and Kconfig

replace d_add_unique() with saner primitive

2016-03-14T04:17:20+00:00

new primitive: d_exact_alias(dentry, inode).  If there is an unhashed
dentry with the same name/parent and given inode, rehash, grab and
return it.  Otherwise, return NULL.  The only caller of d_add_unique()
switched to d_exact_alias() + d_splice_alias().

use ->d_seq to get coherency between ->d_inode and ->d_flags

2016-02-29T17:16:43+00:00

Games with ordering and barriers are way too brittle.  Just
bump ->d_seq before and after updating ->d_inode and ->d_flags
type bits, so that verifying ->d_seq would guarantee they are
coherent.

include, lib: add __printf attributes to several function prototypes

2015-07-17T23:39:53+00:00

Using __printf attributes helps to detect several format string issues
at compile time (even though -Wformat-security is currently disabled in
Makefile).  For example it can detect when formatting a pointer as a
number, like the issue fixed in commit a3fa71c40f18 ("wl18xx: show
rx_frames_per_rates as an array as it really is"), or when the arguments
do not match the format string, c.f.  for example commit 5ce1aca81435
("reiserfs: fix __RASSERT format string").

To prevent similar bugs in the future, add a __printf attribute to every
function prototype which needs one in include/linux/ and lib/.  These
functions were mostly found by using gcc's -Wsuggest-attribute=format
flag.
