[PATCH] fix MAY_CHDIR/MAY_ACCESS/LOOKUP_ACCESS mess

2008-07-27T00:53:21+00:00

* MAY_CHDIR is redundant - it's an equivalent of MAY_ACCESS
* MAY_ACCESS on fuse should affect only the last step of pathname resolution
* fchdir() and chroot() should pass MAY_ACCESS, for the same reason why
  chdir() needs that.
* now that we pass MAY_ACCESS explicitly in all cases, LOOKUP_ACCESS can be
  removed; it has no business being in nameidata.

[patch 3/5] vfs: change remove_suid() to file_remove_suid()

2008-07-27T00:53:16+00:00

All calls to remove_suid() are made with a file pointer, because
(similarly to file_update_time) it is called when the file is written.

Clean up callers by passing in a file instead of a dentry.

[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.

fuse: lockd support

2008-07-25T17:53:48+00:00

If fuse filesystem doesn't define it's own lock operations, then allow the
lock manager to work with fuse.

Adding lockd support for remote locking is also possible, but more rarely
used, so leave it till later.

fuse: nfs export special lookups

2008-07-25T17:53:48+00:00

Implement the get_parent export operation by sending a LOOKUP request with
".." as the name.

Implement looking up an inode by node ID after it has been evicted from
the cache.  This is done by seding a LOOKUP request with "." as the name
(for all file types, not just directories).

The filesystem can set the FUSE_EXPORT_SUPPORT flag in the INIT reply, to
indicate that it supports these special lookups.

Thanks to John Muir for the original implementation of this feature.

fuse: add fuse_lookup_name() helper

2008-07-25T17:53:48+00:00

Add a new helper function which sends a LOOKUP request with the supplied
name.  This will be used by the next patch to send special LOOKUP requests
with "." and ".." as the name.

fuse: add export operations

2008-07-25T17:53:48+00:00

Implement export_operations, to allow fuse filesystems to be exported to
NFS.  This feature has been in the out-of-tree fuse module, and is widely
used and tested.

It has not been originally merged into mainline, because doing the NFS
export in userspace was thought to be a cleaner and more efficient way of
doing it, than through the kernel.

While that is true, it would also have involved a lot of duplicated effort
at reimplementing NFS exporting (all the different versions of the
protocol).  This effort was unfortunately not undertaken by anyone, so we
are left with doing it the easy but less efficient way.

If this feature goes in, the out-of-tree fuse module can go away,
which would have several advantages:

  - not having to maintain two versions
  - less confusion for users
  - no bugs due to kernel API changes

Comment from hch:
 - Use the same fh_type values as XFS, since we use the same fh encoding.

fuse: prepare lookup for nfs export

fuse: fix thinko in max I/O size calucation

2008-06-18T01:08:10+00:00

Use max not min to enforce a lower limit on the max I/O size.

This bug was introduced by "fuse: fix max i/o size calculation" (commit
e5d9a0df07484d6d191756878c974e4307fb24ce).

Thanks to Brian Wang for noticing.
