mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().

2007-07-20T01:11:58+00:00

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

Introduce is_owner_or_cap() to wrap CAP_FOWNER use with fsuid check

2007-07-17T19:00:03+00:00

Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant
users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future
where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a
file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as
well, thus violating its semantics.
[ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ...
untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ]

The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and
exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are
covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations
falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

knfsd: exportfs: remove iget abuse

2007-07-17T17:23:06+00:00

When the exportfs interface was added the expectation was that filesystems
provide an operation to convert from a file handle to an inode/dentry, but it
kept a backwards compat option that still calls into iget.

Calling into iget from non-filesystem code is very bad, because it gives too
little information to filesystem, and simply crashes if the filesystem doesn't
implement the ->read_inode routine.

Fortunately there are only two filesystems left using this fallback: efs and
jfs.  This patch moves a copy of export_iget to each of those to implement the
get_dentry method.

While this is a temporary increase of lines of code in the kernel it allows
for a much cleaner interface and important code restructuring in later
patches.

knfsd: exportfs: add exportfs.h header

2007-07-17T17:23:06+00:00

currently the export_operation structure and helpers related to it are in
fs.h.  fs.h is already far too large and there are very few places needing the
export bits, so split them off into a separate header.

sendfile: remove .sendfile from filesystems that use generic_file_sendfile()

2007-07-10T06:04:13+00:00

They can use generic_file_splice_read() instead. Since sys_sendfile() now
prefers that, there should be no change in behaviour.

Remove SLAB_CTOR_CONSTRUCTOR

SLAB_CTOR_CONSTRUCTOR is always specified. No point in checking it.
