vfs: make O_PATH file descriptors usable for 'fchdir()'

2012-07-08T00:19:02+00:00

We already use them for openat() and friends, but fchdir() also wants to
be able to use O_PATH file descriptors.  This should make it comparable
to the O_SEARCH of Solaris.  In particular, O_PATH allows you to access
(not-quite-open) a directory you don't have read persmission to, only
execute permission.

Noticed during development of multithread support for ksh93.

Pull eCryptfs fixes from Tyler Hicks:
 "Fixes an incorrect access mode check when preparing to open a file in
  the lower filesystem.  This isn't an urgent fix, but it is simple and
  the check was obviously incorrect.

  Also fixes a couple important bugs in the eCryptfs miscdev interface.
  These changes are low risk due to the small number of users that use
  the miscdev interface.  I was able to keep the changes minimal and I
  have some cleaner, more complete changes queued up for the next merge
  window that will build on these patches."

eCryptfs: Gracefully refuse miscdev file ops on inherited/passed files

2012-07-06T20:51:12+00:00

File operations on /dev/ecryptfs would BUG() when the operations were
performed by processes other than the process that originally opened the
file. This could happen with open files inherited after fork() or file
descriptors passed through IPC mechanisms. Rather than calling BUG(), an
error code can be safely returned in most situations.

In ecryptfs_miscdev_release(), eCryptfs still needs to handle the
release even if the last file reference is being held by a process that
didn't originally open the file. ecryptfs_find_daemon_by_euid() will not
be successful, so a pointer to the daemon is stored in the file's
private_data. The private_data pointer is initialized when the miscdev
file is opened and only used when the file is released.

Pull btrfs updates from Chris Mason:
 "I held off on my rc5 pull because I hit an oops during log recovery
  after a crash.  I wanted to make sure it wasn't a regression because
  we have some logging fixes in here.

  It turns out that a commit during the merge window just made it much
  more likely to trigger directory logging instead of full commits,
  which exposed an old bug.

  The new backref walking code got some additional fixes.  This should
  be the final set of them.

  Josef fixed up a corner where our O_DIRECT writes and buffered reads
  could expose old file contents (not stale, just not the most recent).
  He and Liu Bo fixed crashes during tree log recover as well.

  Ilya fixed errors while we resume disk balancing operations on
  readonly mounts."

ocfs2: Fix bogus error message from ocfs2_global_read_info

2012-07-04T06:27:17+00:00

'status' variable in ocfs2_global_read_info() is always != 0 when leaving the
function because it happens to contain number of read bytes. Thus we always log
error message although everything is OK. Since all error cases properly call
mlog_errno() before jumping to out_err, there's no reason to call mlog_errno()
on exit at all. This is a fallout of c1e8d35e (conversion of mlog_exit()
calls).

ocfs2: for SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE, return internal error unchanged if ocfs2_get_clusters_nocache() or ocfs2_inode_lock() call failed.

2012-07-04T06:27:16+00:00

Hello,

Since ENXIO only means "offset beyond EOF" for SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE,
Hence we should return the internal error unchanged if ocfs2_inode_lock() or
ocfs2_get_clusters_nocache() call failed rather than ENXIO.
Otherwise, it will confuse the user applications when they trying to understand the root cause.

Thanks Dave for pointing this out.

Thanks,
-Jeff

ocfs2: use spinlock irqsave for downconvert lock.patch

2012-07-04T06:27:15+00:00

When ocfs2dc thread holds dc_task_lock spinlock and receives soft IRQ it
deadlock itself trying to get same spinlock in ocfs2_wake_downconvert_thread.
Below is the stack snippet.

The patch disables interrupts when acquiring dc_task_lock spinlock.
