inotify: send IN_UNMOUNT events

2010-09-27T00:18:31Z

commit 611da04f7a31b2208e838be55a42c7a1310ae321 upstream. Since the .31 or so notify rewrite inotify has not sent events about inodes which are unmounted. This patch restores those events. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris Cc: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Saner locking around deactivate_super()

2010-05-21T22:31:14Z

Make sure that s_umount is acquired *before* we drop the final active reference; we still have the fast path (atomic_dec_unless) and we have gotten rid of the window between the moment when s_active hits zero and s_umount is acquired. Which simplifies the living hell out of grab_super() and inotify pin_to_kill() stuff. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

inotify: don't leak user struct on inotify release

2010-05-14T15:53:36Z

inotify_new_group() receives a get_uid-ed user_struct and saves the reference on group->inotify_data.user. The problem is that free_uid() is never called on it. Issue seem to be introduced by 63c882a0 (inotify: reimplement inotify using fsnotify) after 2.6.30.

inotify: race use after free/double free in inotify inode marks

2010-05-14T15:52:57Z

There is a race in the inotify add/rm watch code. A task can find and remove a mark which doesn't have all of it's references. This can result in a use after free/double free situation. Task A Task B ------------ ----------- inotify_new_watch() allocate a mark (refcnt == 1) add it to the idr inotify_rm_watch() inotify_remove_from_idr() fsnotify_put_mark() refcnt hits 0, free take reference because we are on idr [at this point it is a use after free] [time goes on] refcnt may hit 0 again, double free The fix is to take the reference BEFORE the object can be found in the idr.

inotify: clean up the inotify_add_watch out path

2010-05-14T15:51:07Z

inotify_add_watch explictly frees the unused inode mark, but it can just use the generic code. Just do that. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

Inotify: undefined reference to `anon_inode_getfd'

2010-05-12T15:03:40Z

Fix: fs/built-in.o: In function `sys_inotify_init1': summary.c:(.text+0x347a4): undefined reference to `anon_inode_getfd' found by kautobuild with arms bcmring_defconfig, which ends up with INOTIFY_USER enabled (through the 'default y') but leaves ANON_INODES unset. However, inotify_user.c uses anon_inode_getfd(). Signed-off-by: Russell King Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
