fs: Give dentry to inode_change_ok() instead of inode

2016-09-22T08:56:19+00:00

inode_change_ok() will be resposible for clearing capabilities and IMA
extended attributes and as such will need dentry. Give it as an argument
to inode_change_ok() instead of an inode. Also rename inode_change_ok()
to setattr_prepare() to better relect that it does also some
modifications in addition to checks.

vfs: move permission checking into notify_change() for utimes(NULL)

2016-09-16T10:44:20+00:00

This fixes a bug where the permission was not properly checked in
overlayfs.  The testcase is ltp/utimensat01.

It is also cleaner and safer to do the permission checking in the vfs
helper instead of the caller.

This patch introduces an additional ia_valid flag ATTR_TOUCH (since
touch(1) is the most obvious user of utimes(NULL)) that is passed into
notify_change whenever the conditions for this special permission checking
mode are met.

fs: return EPERM on immutable inode

2016-08-07T14:03:31+00:00

In most cases, EPERM is returned on immutable inode, and there're only a
few places returning EACCES. I noticed this when running LTP on
overlayfs, setxattr03 failed due to unexpected EACCES on immutable
inode.

So converting all EACCES to EPERM on immutable inode.

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.

NFSv4 uses leases to guarantee that clients can cache metadata as well
as data.

vfs: allow utimensat() calls to retry once on an ESTALE error

2012-12-20T23:50:08+00:00

Clearly, we can't handle the NULL filename case, but we can deal with
the case where there's a real pathname.
