posix_acl: make posix_acl_to_xattr() alloc the buffer

2026-01-16T09:51:12+00:00

Without exception all caller do that. So move the allocation into the helper. This reduces boilerplate and removes unnecessary error checking. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260115122341.556026-1-mszeredi@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner

btrfs: apply the AUTO_K(V)FREE macros throughout the code

2025-11-24T21:34:51+00:00

Apply the AUTO_KFREE and AUTO_KVFREE macros wherever it makes sense. Since this macro is expected to improve code readability, it has been avoided in places where the lifetime of objects wasn't easy to follow and a cleanup attribute would've made things worse; or when the cleanup section of a function involved many other things and thus there was no readability impact anyways. This change has also not been applied in extremely short functions where readability was clearly not an issue. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà Reviewed-by: David Sterba Signed-off-by: David Sterba

btrfs: remove unused included headers

2024-03-04T15:24:46+00:00

With help of neovim, LSP and clangd we can identify header files that are not actually needed to be included in the .c files. This is focused only on removal (with minor fixups), further cleanups are possible but will require doing the header files properly with forward declarations, minimized includes and include-what-you-use care.

fs: port acl to mnt_idmap

2023-01-19T08:24:28+00:00

Convert to struct mnt_idmap. Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap. Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for bugs. Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

fs: pass dentry to set acl method

2022-10-19T10:55:42+00:00

The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1]. Since some filesystem rely on the dentry being available to them when setting posix acls (e.g., 9p and cifs) they cannot rely on set acl inode operation. But since ->set_acl() is required in order to use the generic posix acl xattr handlers filesystems that do not implement this inode operation cannot use the handler and need to implement their own dedicated posix acl handlers. Update the ->set_acl() inode method to take a dentry argument. This allows all filesystems to rely on ->set_acl(). As far as I can tell all codepaths can be switched to rely on the dentry instead of just the inode. Note that the original motivation for passing the dentry separate from the inode instead of just the dentry in the xattr handlers was because of security modules that call security_d_instantiate(). This hook is called during d_instantiate_new(), d_add(), __d_instantiate_anon(), and d_splice_alias() to initialize the inode's security context and possibly to set security.* xattrs. Since this only affects security.* xattrs this is completely irrelevant for posix acls.

btrfs: reserve correct number of items for inode creation

2022-05-16T15:03:08+00:00

The various inode creation code paths do not account for the compression property, POSIX ACLs, or the parent inode item when starting a transaction. Fix it by refactoring all of these code paths to use a new function, btrfs_new_inode_prepare(), which computes the correct number of items. To do so, it needs to know whether POSIX ACLs will be created, so move the ACL creation into that function. To reduce the number of arguments that need to be passed around for inode creation, define struct btrfs_new_inode_args containing all of the relevant information. btrfs_new_inode_prepare() will also be a good place to set up the fscrypt context and encrypted filename in the future.

btrfs: remove unused mnt_userns parameter from __btrfs_set_acl

Commit 4a8b34afa9c9 ("btrfs: handle ACLs on idmapped mounts") added this parameter but didn't use it. __btrfs_set_acl() is the low-level helper that writes an ACL to disk. The higher-level btrfs_set_acl() is the one that translates the ACL based on the user namespace.
