eCryptfs: use page_alloc not kmalloc to get a page of memory

2008-07-28T23:30:21+00:00

With SLUB debugging turned on in 2.6.26, I was getting memory corruption
when testing eCryptfs.  The root cause turned out to be that eCryptfs was
doing kmalloc(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); virt_to_page() and treating that as a nice
page-aligned chunk of memory.  But at least with SLUB debugging on, this
is not always true, and the page we get from virt_to_page does not
necessarily match the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE worth of memory we got from kmalloc.

My simple testcase was 2 loops doing "rm -f fileX; cp /tmp/fileX ." for 2
different multi-megabyte files.  With this change I no longer see the
corruption.

[PATCH] kill nameidata passing to permission(), rename to inode_permission()

2008-07-27T00:53:31+00:00

Incidentally, the name that gives hundreds of false positives on grep
is not a good idea...

[PATCH] sanitize ->permission() prototype

2008-07-27T00:53:14+00:00

* kill nameidata * argument; map the 3 bits in ->flags anybody cares
  about to new MAY_... ones and pass with the mask.
* kill redundant gfs2_iop_permission()
* sanitize ecryptfs_permission()
* fix remaining places where ->permission() instances might barf on new
  MAY_... found in mask.

The obvious next target in that direction is permission(9)

SL*B: drop kmem cache argument from constructor

2008-07-26T19:00:07+00:00

Kmem cache passed to constructor is only needed for constructors that are
themselves multiplexeres.  Nobody uses this "feature", nor does anybody uses
passed kmem cache in non-trivial way, so pass only pointer to object.

Non-trivial places are:
	arch/powerpc/mm/init_64.c
	arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage.c

This is flag day, yes.

eCryptfs: Make all persistent file opens delayed

2008-07-24T17:47:31+00:00

There is no good reason to immediately open the lower file, and that can
cause problems with files that the user does not intend to immediately
open, such as device nodes.

This patch removes the persistent file open from the interpose step and
pushes that to the locations where eCryptfs really does need the lower
persistent file, such as just before reading or writing the metadata
stored in the lower file header.

Two functions are jumping to out_dput when they should just be jumping to
out on error paths.  This patch also fixes these.

eCryptfs: do not try to open device files on mknod

2008-07-24T17:47:31+00:00

When creating device nodes, eCryptfs needs to delay actually opening the lower
persistent file until an application tries to open.  Device handles may not be
backed by anything when they first come into existence.
