2009-05-05ocfs2: Don't printk the error when listing too many xattrs.Tao Ma
Currently the kernel defines XATTR_LIST_MAX as 65536 in include/linux/limits.h. This is the largest buffer that is used for listing xattrs. But with ocfs2 xattr tree, we actually have no limit for the number. If filesystem has more names than can fit in the buffer, the kernel logs will be pollluted with something like this when listing: (27738,0):ocfs2_iterate_xattr_buckets:3158 ERROR: status = -34 (27738,0):ocfs2_xattr_tree_list_index_block:3264 ERROR: status = -34 So don't print "ERROR" message as this is not an ocfs2 error.

2009-05-04proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged processesJake Edge
By using the same test as is used for /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps, only allow processes that can ptrace() a given process to see information that might be used to bypass address space layout randomization (ASLR). These include eip, esp, wchan, and start_stack in /proc/pid/stat as well as the non-symbolic output from /proc/pid/wchan. ASLR can be bypassed by sampling eip as shown by the proof-of-concept code at http://code.google.com/p/fuzzyaslr/ As part of a presentation (http://www.cr0.org/paper/to-jt-linux-alsr-leak.pdf) esp and wchan were also noted as possibly usable information leaks as well. The start_stack address also leaks potentially useful information.

2009-05-04[CIFS] NTLMSSP reenabled after move from connect.c to sess.cSteve French
The NTLMSSP code was removed from fs/cifs/connect.c and merged (75% smaller, cleaner) into fs/cifs/sess.c As with the old code it requires that cifs be built with CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL, the /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental flag must be set to 2, and mount must turn on extended security (e.g. with sec=krb5). Although NTLMSSP encapsulated in SPNEGO is not enabled yet, "raw" ntlmssp is common and useful in some cases since it offers more complete security negotiation, and is the default way of negotiating security for many Windows systems. SPNEGO encapsulated NTLMSSP will be able to reuse the same code. Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

2009-05-02alpha: binfmt_aout fixIvan Kokshaysky
This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef412 (get rid of special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary segfaults when binfmt_aout built as module. That happens because aout binary handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must be done by binfmt_loader. Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which places new handler on the top of the binfmt list. This might be generally useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just for overriding them.

2009-05-02mm: close page_mkwrite racesNick Piggin
Change page_mkwrite to allow implementations to return with the page locked, and also change it's callers (in page fault paths) to hold the lock until the page is marked dirty. This allows the filesystem to have full control of page dirtying events coming from the VM. Rather than simply hold the page locked over the page_mkwrite call, we call page_mkwrite with the page unlocked and allow callers to return with it locked, so filesystems can avoid LOR conditions with page lock. The problem with the current scheme is this: a filesystem that wants to associate some metadata with a page as long as the page is dirty, will perform this manipulation in its ->page_mkwrite. It currently then must return with the page unlocked and may not hold any other locks (according to existing page_mkwrite convention). In this window, the VM could write out the page, clearing page-dirty. The filesystem has no good way to detect that a dirty pte is about to be attached, so it will happily write out the page, at which point, the filesystem may manipulate the metadata to reflect that the page is no longer dirty. It is not always possible to perform the required metadata manipulation in ->set_page_dirty, because that function cannot block or fail. The filesystem may need to allocate some data structure, for example. And the VM cannot mark the pte dirty before page_mkwrite, because page_mkwrite is allowed to fail, so we must not allow any window where the page could be written to if page_mkwrite does fail. This solution of holding the page locked over the 3 critical operations (page_mkwrite, setting the pte dirty, and finally setting the page dirty) closes out races nicely, preventing page cleaning for writeout being initiated in that window. This provides the filesystem with a strong synchronisation against the VM here. - Sage needs this race closed for ceph filesystem. - Trond for NFS (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12913). - I need it for fsblock. - I suspect other filesystems may need it too (eg. btrfs). - I have converted buffer.c to the new locking. Even simple block allocation under dirty pages might be susceptible to i_size changing under partial page at the end of file (we also have a buffer.c-side problem here, but it cannot be fixed properly without this patch). - Other filesystems (eg. NFS, maybe btrfs) will need to change their page_mkwrite functions themselves. [ This also moves page_mkwrite another step closer to fault, which should eventually allow page_mkwrite to be moved into ->fault, and thus avoiding a filesystem calldown and page lock/unlock cycle in __do_fault. ] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix derefs of NULL ->mapping] Cc: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Valdis Kletnieks <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-05-01ext4: Don't avoid using BLOCK_UNINIT block groups in mballocTheodore Ts'o
By avoiding the use of not-yet-used block groups (i.e., block groups with the BLOCK_UNINIT flag), mballoc had a tendency to create large files with large non-contiguous gaps. In addition avoiding the use of new block groups had a tendency to push regular file data into the first block group in a flex_bg group, which slows down the speed of e2fsck pass 2, since it has a tendency to seek much more. For example: Before Patch After Patch Time in seconds Time in seconds Real / User/ Sys MB/s Real / User/ Sys MB/s Pass 1 8.52 / 2.21 / 0.46 20.43 8.84 / 4.97 / 1.11 19.68 Pass 2 21.16 / 1.02 / 1.86 11.30 6.54 / 1.77 / 1.78 36.39 Pass 3 0.01 / 0.00 / 0.00 139.00 0.01 / 0.01 / 0.00 128.90 Pass 4 0.16 / 0.15 / 0.00 0.00 0.17 / 0.17 / 0.00 0.00 Pass 5 2.52 / 1.99 / 0.09 0.79 2.31 / 1.78 / 0.06 0.86 Total 32.40 / 5.11 / 2.49 12.81 17.99 / 8.75 / 2.98 23.01 This was on a sample 80 gig root filesystem which was approximately 50% full. Note the improved e2fsck pass 2 performance, by over a factor of 3, due to a decreased number of seeks. (The total amount of I/O in pass 2 was unchanged; the layout of the directory blocks was simply much better from e2fsck's's perspective.) Other changes as a result of this patch on this sample filesystem: Before Patch After Patch # of non-contig files 762 779 # of non-contig directories 571 570 # of BLOCK_UNINIT bg's 307 293 # of INODE_UNINIT bg's 503 503 Out of 640 block groups, of which 333 were in use, this patch caused an extra 14 block groups to be utilized.

2009-04-30configfs: Rework configfs_depend_item() locking and make lockdep happyLouis Rilling
configfs_depend_item() recursively locks all inodes mutex from configfs root to the target item, which makes lockdep unhappy. The purpose of this recursive locking is to ensure that the item tree can be safely parsed and that the target item, if found, is not about to leave. This patch reworks configfs_depend_item() locking using configfs_dirent_lock. Since configfs_dirent_lock protects all changes to the configfs_dirent tree, and protects tagging of items to be removed, this lock can be used instead of the inodes mutex lock chain. This needs that the check for dependents be done atomically with CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING tagging. Now lockdep looks happy with configfs.

2009-04-30configfs: Silence lockdep on mkdir() and rmdir()Louis Rilling
When attaching default groups (subdirs) of a new group (in mkdir() or in configfs_register()), configfs recursively takes inode's mutexes along the path from the parent of the new group to the default subdirs. This is needed to ensure that the VFS will not race with operations on these sub-dirs. This is safe for the following reasons: - the VFS allows one to lock first an inode and second one of its children (The lock subclasses for this pattern are respectively I_MUTEX_PARENT and I_MUTEX_CHILD); - from this rule any inode path can be recursively locked in descending order as long as it stays under a single mountpoint and does not follow symlinks. Unfortunately lockdep does not know (yet?) how to handle such recursion. I've tried to use Peter Zijlstra's lock_set_subclass() helper to upgrade i_mutexes from I_MUTEX_CHILD to I_MUTEX_PARENT when we know that we might recursively lock some of their descendant, but this usage does not seem to fit the purpose of lock_set_subclass() because it leads to several i_mutex locked with subclass I_MUTEX_PARENT by the same task. >From inside configfs it is not possible to serialize those recursive locking with a top-level one, because mkdir() and rmdir() are already called with inodes locked by the VFS. So using some mutex_lock_nest_lock() is not an option. I am proposing two solutions: 1) one that wraps recursive mutex_lock()s with lockdep_off()/lockdep_on(). 2) (as suggested earlier by Peter Zijlstra) one that puts the i_mutexes recursively locked in different classes based on their depth from the top-level config_group created. This induces an arbitrary limit (MAX_LOCK_DEPTH - 2 == 46) on the nesting of configfs default groups whenever lockdep is activated but this limit looks reasonably high. Unfortunately, this also isolates VFS operations on configfs default groups from the others and thus lowers the chances to detect locking issues. Nobody likes solution 1), which I can understand. This patch implements solution 2). However lockdep is still not happy with configfs_depend_item(). Next patch reworks the locking of configfs_depend_item() and finally makes lockdep happy. [ Note: This hides a few locking interactions with the VFS from lockdep. That was my big concern, because we like lockdep's protection. However, the current state always dumps a spurious warning. The locking is correct, so I tell people to ignore the warning and that we'll keep our eyes on the locking to make sure it stays correct. With this patch, we eliminate the warning. We do lose some of the lockdep protections, but this only means that we still have to keep our eyes on the locking. We're going to do that anyway. -- Joel ] Signed-off-by: Louis Rilling <louis.rilling@kerlabs.com> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

2009-04-30[CIFS] Remove older session setup implementationSteve French
Two years ago, when the session setup code in cifs was rewritten and moved to fs/cifs/sess.c, we were asked to keep the old code for a release or so (which could be reenabled at runtime) since it was such a large change and because the asn (SPNEGO) and NTLMSSP code was not rewritten and needed to be. This was useful to avoid regressions, but is long overdue to be removed. Now that the Kerberos (asn/spnego) code is working in fs/cifs/sess.c, and the NTLMSSP code moved (NTLMSSP blob setup be rewritten with the next patch in this series) quite a bit of dead code from fs/cifs/connect.c now can be removed. This old code should have been removed last year, but the earlier krb5 patches did not move/remove the NTLMSSP code which we had asked to be done first. Since no one else volunteered, I am doing it now. It is extremely important that we continue to examine the documentation for this area, to make sure our code continues to be uptodate with changes since Windows 2003.

2009-04-30cifs: change cifs_get_name_from_search_buf to use new unicode helperJeff Layton
...and remove cifs_convertUCSpath. There are no more callers. Also add a #define for the buffer used in the readdir path so that we don't have so many magic numbers floating around.

2009-04-30cifs: change CIFSSMBUnixQuerySymLink to use new helpersJeff Layton
Change CIFSSMBUnixQuerySymLink to use the new unicode helper functions. Also change the calling conventions so that the allocation of the target name buffer is done in CIFSSMBUnixQuerySymLink rather than by the caller.

2009-04-30cifs: rename cifs_strlcpy_to_host and make it use new functionsJeff Layton
Rename cifs_strlcpy_to_host to cifs_strndup since that better describes what this function really does. Then, convert it to use the new string conversion and measurement functions that work in units of bytes rather than wide chars.
