lseek: the "whence" argument is called "whence"

2012-12-18T01:15:12+00:00

But the kernel decided to call it "origin" instead.  Fix most of the
sites.

userns: Support fuse interacting with multiple user namespaces

2012-11-15T06:05:33+00:00

Use kuid_t and kgid_t in struct fuse_conn and struct fuse_mount_data.

The connection between between a fuse filesystem and a fuse daemon is
established when a fuse filesystem is mounted and provided with a file
descriptor the fuse daemon created by opening /dev/fuse.

For now restrict the communication of uids and gids between the fuse
filesystem and the fuse daemon to the initial user namespace.  Enforce
this by verifying the file descriptor passed to the mount of fuse was
opened in the initial user namespace.  Ensuring the mount happens in
the initial user namespace is not necessary as mounts from non-initial
user namespaces are not yet allowed.

In fuse_req_init_context convert the currrent fsuid and fsgid into the
initial user namespace for the request that will be sent to the fuse
daemon.

In fuse_fill_attr convert the uid and gid passed from the fuse daemon
from the initial user namespace into kuids and kgids.

In iattr_to_fattr called from fuse_setattr convert kuids and kgids
into the uids and gids in the initial user namespace before passing
them to the fuse filesystem.

In fuse_change_attributes_common called from fuse_dentry_revalidate,
fuse_permission, fuse_geattr, and fuse_setattr, and fuse_iget convert
the uid and gid from the fuse daemon into a kuid and a kgid to store
on the fuse inode.

By default fuse mounts are restricted to task whose uid, suid, and
euid matches the fuse user_id and whose gid, sgid, and egid matches
the fuse group id.  Convert the user_id and group_id mount options
into kuids and kgids at mount time, and use uid_eq and gid_eq to
compare the in fuse_allow_task.

mm: kill vma flag VM_CAN_NONLINEAR

2012-10-09T07:22:17+00:00

Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special
vma operation: ->remap_pages().

Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support,
if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used.

Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

fs: push rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() to filesystems

2012-10-03T01:35:55+00:00

There's no reason to call rcu_barrier() on every
deactivate_locked_super().  We only need to make sure that all delayed rcu
free inodes are flushed before we destroy related cache.

Removing rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() affects some fast
paths.  E.g.  on my machine exit_group() of a last process in IPC
namespace takes 0.07538s.  rcu_barrier() takes 0.05188s of that time.

fuse: fix retrieve length

2012-09-04T16:45:54+00:00

In some cases fuse_retrieve() would return a short byte count if offset was
non-zero.  The data returned was correct, though.

fuse: mark variables uninitialized

2012-09-03T15:44:06+00:00

gcc 4.6.3 complains about uninitialized variables in fs/fuse/control.c:

  CC      fs/fuse/control.o
fs/fuse/control.c: In function 'fuse_conn_congestion_threshold_write':
fs/fuse/control.c:165:29: warning: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
fs/fuse/control.c: In function 'fuse_conn_max_background_write':
fs/fuse/control.c:128:23: warning: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]

fuse_conn_limit_write() will always return non-zero unless the &val
is modified, so the warning is misleading. Let the compiler know
about it by marking 'val' with 'uninitialized_var'.

cuse: kill connection on initialization error

2012-08-30T17:24:35+00:00

Luca Risolia reported that a CUSE daemon will continue to run even if
initialization of the emulated device failes for some reason (e.g. the device
number is already registered by another driver).

This patch disconnects the fuse device on error, which will make the userspace
CUSE daemon exit, albeit without indication about what the problem was.

cuse: fix fuse_conn_kill()

2012-08-30T17:24:34+00:00

fuse_conn_kill() removed fc->entry, called fuse_ctl_remove_conn() and
fuse_bdi_destroy().  None of which is appropriate for cuse cleanup.

The fuse_ctl_remove_conn() decrements the nlink on the control filesystem, which
is totally bogus.  The others are harmless but unnecessary.

So move these out from fuse_conn_kill() to fuse_put_super() where they belong.
