linux.git/fs/coda, branch v4.8

drop redundant ->owner initializations

2016-05-29T23:08:00+00:00

it's not needed for file_operations of inodes located on fs defined
in the hosting module and for file_operations that go into procfs.

introduce a parallel variant of ->iterate()

2016-05-02T23:49:29+00:00

New method: ->iterate_shared().  Same arguments as in ->iterate(),
called with the directory locked only shared.  Once all filesystems
switch, the old one will be gone.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2016-01-23T20:24:56+00:00

Pull final vfs updates from Al Viro:

 - The ->i_mutex wrappers (with small prereq in lustre)

 - a fix for too early freeing of symlink bodies on shmem (they need to
   be RCU-delayed) (-stable fodder)

 - followup to dedupe stuff merged this cycle

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  vfs: abort dedupe loop if fatal signals are pending
  make sure that freeing shmem fast symlinks is RCU-delayed
  wrappers for ->i_mutex access
  lustre: remove unused declaration

tree wide: use kvfree() than conditional kfree()/vfree()

2016-01-23T01:02:18+00:00

There are many locations that do

  if (memory_was_allocated_by_vmalloc)
    vfree(ptr);
  else
    kfree(ptr);

but kvfree() can handle both kmalloc()ed memory and vmalloc()ed memory
using is_vmalloc_addr().  Unless callers have special reasons, we can
replace this branch with kvfree().  Please check and reply if you found
problems.

wrappers for ->i_mutex access

2016-01-22T23:04:28+00:00

parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested},
inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).

Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held
only shared.

kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg

2016-01-15T00:00:49+00:00

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg.  For the list, see below:

 - threadinfo
 - task_struct
 - task_delay_info
 - pid
 - cred
 - mm_struct
 - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
 - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
 - signal_struct
 - sighand_struct
 - fs_struct
 - files_struct
 - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
 - dentry and external_name
 - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
   most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.

The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds.  Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

replace ->follow_link() with new method that could stay in RCU mode

2015-12-09T03:41:54+00:00

new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link().  The differences
are:
	* inode and dentry are passed separately
	* might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode;
the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.
	* when called that way it isn't allowed to block
and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called
in non-RCU mode.

It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances
converted.  Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances
do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode.  That'll change
in the next commits.

don't put symlink bodies in pagecache into highmem

2015-12-09T03:41:36+00:00

kmap() in page_follow_link_light() needed to go - allowing to hold
an arbitrary number of kmaps for long is a great way to deadlocking
the system.

new helper (inode_nohighmem(inode)) needs to be used for pagecache
symlinks inodes; done for all in-tree cases.  page_follow_link_light()
instrumented to yell about anything missed.

fs/coda: fix readlink buffer overflow

2015-09-10T20:29:01+00:00

Dan Carpenter discovered a buffer overflow in the Coda file system
readlink code.  A userspace file system daemon can return a 4096 byte
result which then triggers a one byte write past the allocated readlink
result buffer.

This does not trigger with an unmodified Coda implementation because Coda
has a 1024 byte limit for symbolic links, however other userspace file
systems using the Coda kernel module could be affected.

Although this is an obvious overflow, I don't think this has to be handled
as too sensitive from a security perspective because the overflow is on
the Coda userspace daemon side which already needs root to open Coda's
kernel device and to mount the file system before we get to the point that
links can be read.
