2012-01-09ext2: Fix error handling on inode bitmap corruptionJan Kara
When insert_inode_locked() fails in ext2_new_inode() it most likely means inode bitmap got corrupted and we allocated again inode which is already in use. Also doing unlock_new_inode() during error recovery is wrong since the inode does not have I_NEW set. Fix the problem by informing about filesystem error and jumping to fail: (instead of fail_drop:) which doesn't call unlock_new_inode().

2011-07-25vfs: move ACL cache lookup into generic codeLinus Torvalds
This moves logic for checking the cached ACL values from low-level filesystems into generic code. The end result is a streamlined ACL check that doesn't need to load the inode->i_op->check_acl pointer at all for the common cached case. The filesystems also don't need to check for a non-blocking RCU walk case in their acl_check() functions, because that is all handled at a VFS layer.

2011-07-20fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlersJosef Bacik
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

2011-07-20fs: simplify the blockdev_direct_IO prototypeChristoph Hellwig
Simple filesystems always pass inode->i_sb_bdev as the block device argument, and never need a end_io handler. Let's simply things for them and for my grepping activity by dropping these arguments. The only thing not falling into that scheme is ext4, which passes and end_io handler without needing special flags (yet), but given how messy the direct I/O code there is use of __blockdev_direct_IO in one instead of two out of three cases isn't going to make a large difference anyway.

2011-07-18security: new security_inode_init_security API adds function callbackMimi Zohar
This patch changes the security_inode_init_security API by adding a filesystem specific callback to write security extended attributes. This change is in preparation for supporting the initialization of multiple LSM xattrs and the EVM xattr. Initially the callback function walks an array of xattrs, writing each xattr separately, but could be optimized to write multiple xattrs at once. For existing security_inode_init_security() calls, which have not yet been converted to use the new callback function, such as those in reiserfs and ocfs2, this patch defines security_old_inode_init_security().

2011-05-17ext2: fix error msg when mounting fs with too-large blocksizeRobin Dong
When ext2 mounts a filesystem, it attempts to set the block device blocksize with a call to sb_set_blocksize, which can fail for several reasons. The current failure message in ext2 prints: EXT2-fs (loop1): error: blocksize is too small which is not correct in all cases. This can be demonstrated by creating a filesystem with # mkfs.ext2 -b 8192 on a 4k page system, and attempting to mount it. Change the error message to a more generic: EXT2-fs (loop1): bad blocksize 8192 to match the error message in ext3.

2011-03-02ext2: Fix link count corruption under heavy link+rename loadJosh Hunt
vfs_rename_other() does not lock renamed inode with i_mutex. Thus changing i_nlink in a non-atomic manner (which happens in ext2_rename()) can corrupt it as reported and analyzed by Josh. In fact, there is no good reason to mess with i_nlink of the moved file. We did it presumably to simulate linking into the new directory and unlinking from an old one. But the practical effect of this is disputable because fsck can possibly treat file as being properly linked into both directories without writing any error which is confusing. So we just stop increment-decrement games with i_nlink which also fixes the corruption.

2011-02-01fs/vfs/security: pass last path component to LSM on inode creationEric Paris
SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path, just the last component of the path. This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating /etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name exists it is fine to pass NULL. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
