2011-04-25add hlist_bl_lock/unlock helpersChristoph Hellwig
Now that the whole dcache_hash_bucket crap is gone, go all the way and also remove the weird locking layering violations for locking the hash buckets. Add hlist_bl_lock/unlock helpers to move the locking into the list abstraction instead of requiring each caller to open code it. After all allowing for the bit locks is the whole point of these helpers over the plain hlist variant.

2011-04-25eCryptfs: Flush dirty pages in setattrTyler Hicks
After 57db4e8d73ef2b5e94a3f412108dff2576670a8a changed eCryptfs to write-back caching, eCryptfs page writeback updates the lower inode times due to the use of vfs_write() on the lower file. To preserve inode metadata changes, such as 'cp -p' does with utimensat(), we need to flush all dirty pages early in ecryptfs_setattr() so that the user-updated lower inode metadata isn't clobbered later in writeback. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33372 Reported-by: Rocko <rockorequin@hotmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2011-04-25eCryptfs: Handle failed metadata read in lookupTyler Hicks
When failing to read the lower file's crypto metadata during a lookup, eCryptfs must continue on without throwing an error. For example, there may be a plaintext file in the lower mount point that the user wants to delete through the eCryptfs mount. If an error is encountered while reading the metadata in lookup(), the eCryptfs inode's size could be incorrect. We must be sure to reread the plaintext inode size from the metadata when performing an open() or setattr(). The metadata is already being read in those paths, so this adds minimal performance overhead. This patch introduces a flag which will track whether or not the plaintext inode size has been read so that an incorrect i_size can be fixed in the open() or setattr() paths. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/509180 Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2011-04-25eCryptfs: Add reference counting to lower filesTyler Hicks
For any given lower inode, eCryptfs keeps only one lower file open and multiplexes all eCryptfs file operations through that lower file. The lower file was considered "persistent" and stayed open from the first lookup through the lifetime of the inode. This patch keeps the notion of a single, per-inode lower file, but adds reference counting around the lower file so that it is closed when not currently in use. If the reference count is at 0 when an operation (such as open, create, etc.) needs to use the lower file, a new lower file is opened. Since the file is no longer persistent, all references to the term persistent file are changed to lower file. Locking is added around the sections of code that opens the lower file and assign the pointer in the inode info, as well as the code the fputs the lower file when all eCryptfs users are done with it. This patch is needed to fix issues, when mounted on top of the NFSv3 client, where the lower file is left silly renamed until the eCryptfs inode is destroyed.

2011-04-24vfs: get rid of insane dentry hashing rulesLinus Torvalds
The dentry hashing rules have been really quite complicated for a long while, in odd ways. That made functions like __d_drop() very fragile and non-obvious. In particular, whether a dentry was hashed or not was indicated with an explicit DCACHE_UNHASHED bit. That's despite the fact that the hash abstraction that the dentries use actually have a 'is this entry hashed or not' model (which is a simple test of the 'pprev' pointer). The reason that was done is because we used the normal 'is this entry unhashed' model to mark whether the dentry had _ever_ been hashed in the dentry hash tables, and that logic goes back many years (commit b3423415fbc2: "dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentries"). That, in turn, meant that __d_drop had totally different unhashing logic for the dentry hash table case and for the anonymous dcache case, because in order to use the "is this dentry hashed" logic as a flag for whether it had ever been on the RCU hash table, we had to unhash such a dentry differently so that we'd never think that it wasn't 'unhashed' and wouldn't be free'd correctly. That's just insane. It made the logic really hard to follow, when there were two different kinds of "unhashed" states, and one of them (the one that used "list_bl_unhashed()") really had nothing at all to do with being unhashed per se, but with a very subtle lifetime rule instead. So turn all of it around, and make it logical. Instead of having a DENTRY_UNHASHED bit in d_flags to indicate whether the dentry is on the hash chains or not, use the hash chain unhashed logic for that. Suddenly "d_unhashed()" just uses "list_bl_unhashed()", and everything makes sense. And for the lifetime rule, just use an explicit DENTRY_RCUACCEES bit. If we ever insert the dentry into the dentry hash table so that it is visible to RCU lookup, we mark it DENTRY_RCUACCESS to show that it now needs the RCU lifetime rules. Now suddently that test at dentry free time makes sense too. And because unhashing now is sane and doesn't depend on where the dentry got unhashed from (because the dentry hash chain details doesn't have some subtle side effects), we can re-unify the __d_drop() logic and use common code for the unhashing. Also fix one more open-coded hash chain bit_spin_lock() that I missed in the previous chain locking cleanup commit. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2011-04-23vfs: get rid of 'struct dcache_hash_bucket' abstractionLinus Torvalds
It's a useless abstraction for 'hlist_bl_head', and it doesn't actually help anything - quite the reverse. All the users end up having to know about the hlist_bl_head details anyway, using 'struct hlist_bl_node *' etc. So it just makes the code look confusing. And the cost of it is extra '&b->head' syntactic noise, but more importantly it spuriously makes the hash table dentry list look different from the per-superblock DCACHE_DISCONNECTED dentry list. As a result, the code ended up using ad-hoc locking for one case and special helper functions for what is really another totally identical case in the very same function. Make it all look and work the same. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2011-04-21UBIFS: fix master node recoveryArtem Bityutskiy
This patch fixes the following symptoms: 1. Unmount UBIFS cleanly. 2. Start mounting UBIFS R/W and have a power cut immediately 3. Start mounting UBIFS R/O, this succeeds 4. Try to re-mount UBIFS R/W - this fails immediately or later on, because UBIFS will write the master node to the flash area which has been written before. The analysis of the problem: 1. UBIFS is unmounted cleanly, both copies of the master node are clean. 2. UBIFS is being mounter R/W, starts changing master node copy 1, and a power cut happens. The copy N1 becomes corrupted. 3. UBIFS is being mounted R/O. It notices the copy N1 is corrupted and reads copy N2. Copy N2 is clean. 4. Because of R/O mode, UBIFS cannot recover copy 1. 5. The mount code (ubifs_mount()) sees that the master node is clean, so it decides that no recovery is needed. 6. We are re-mounting R/W. UBIFS believes no recovery is needed and starts updating the master node, but copy N1 is still corrupted and was not recovered! Fix this problem by marking the master node as dirty every time we recover it and we are in R/O mode. This forces further recovery and the UBIFS cleans-up the corruptions and recovers the copy N1 when re-mounting R/W later.

2011-04-20UBIFS: fix false space checking failureArtem Bityutskiy
This patch fixes UBIFS mount failure when the debugging support is enabled, we are recovering from a power cut, we were first mounter R/O and we are re-mounting R/W. In this case we should not assume that the amount of free space before we have re-mounted R/W and after are equivalent, because when we have mounted R/O the file-system is in a non-committed state so the amount of free space is slightly smaller, due to the fact that we cannot predict the amount of free space precisely before we commit. This patch fixes the issue by skipping the debugging check in case of recovery.

2011-04-20Open with O_CREAT flag set fails to open existing files on non writable ↵Sachin Prabhu
directories An open on a NFS4 share using the O_CREAT flag on an existing file for which we have permissions to open but contained in a directory with no write permissions will fail with EACCES. A tcpdump shows that the client had set the open mode to UNCHECKED which indicates that the file should be created if it doesn't exist and encountering an existing flag is not an error. Since in this case the file exists and can be opened by the user, the NFS server is wrong in attempting to check create permissions on the parent directory.
