2008-08-08[NFSD] uninline nfsd4_op_name()Adrian Bunk1-3/+2
There doesn't seem to be a compelling reason why nfsd4_op_name() is marked as "inline": It's only used in a dprintk(), and as long as it has only one caller non-ancient gcc versions anyway inline it automatically. This patch fixes the following compile error with gcc 3.4: ... CC fs/nfsd/nfs4proc.o nfs4proc.c: In function `nfsd4_proc_compound': nfs4proc.c:854: sorry, unimplemented: inlining failed in call to nfs4proc.c:897: sorry, unimplemented: called from here make[3]: *** [fs/nfsd/nfs4proc.o] Error 1 Reported-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> [ Also made it "const char *" - Linus] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-08-07move file time and dos attribute setting logic into new functionJeff Layton1-87/+109
Break up cifs_setattr further by moving the logic that sets file times and dos attributes into a separate function. This patch also refactors the logic a bit so that when the file is already open then we go ahead and do a SetFileInfo call. SetPathInfo seems to be unreliable when setting times on open files.

2008-08-06[CIFS] cifs_mkdir and cifs_create should respect the setgid bit on parent dirJeff Layton2-6/+25
If a server supports unix extensions but does not support POSIX create routines, then the client will create a new inode with a standard SMB mkdir or create/open call and then will set the mode. When it does this, it does not take the setgid bit on the parent directory into account. This patch has CIFS flip on the setgid bit when the parent directory has it. If the share is mounted with "setuids" then also change the group owner to the gid of the parent. This patch should apply cleanly on top of the setattr cleanup patches that I sent a few weeks ago.

Id which proc gets from IDR for inode number and id which proc removes from IDR do not match. E.g. 0x11a transforms into 0x8000011a. Which stayed unnoticed for a long time because, surprise, idr_remove() masks out that high bit before doing anything. All of this due to "| ~MAX_ID_MASK" in release_inode_number(). I still don't understand how it's supposed to work, because "| ~MASK" is not an inversion for "& MAX" operation. So, use just one nice, working addition.

2008-08-01[PATCH 2/2] ocfs2: Fix race between mount and recoverySunil Mushran4-42/+148
As the fs recovery is asynchronous, there is a small chance that another node can mount (and thus recover) the slot before the recovery thread gets to it. If this happens, the recovery thread will block indefinitely on the journal/slot lock as that lock will be held for the duration of the mount (by design) by the node assigned to that slot. The solution implemented is to keep track of the journal replays using a recovery generation in the journal inode, which will be incremented by the thread replaying that journal. The recovery thread, before attempting the blocking lock on the journal/slot lock, will compare the generation on disk with what it has cached and skip recovery if it does not match. This bug appears to have been inadvertently introduced during the mount/umount vote removal by mainline commit 34d024f84345807bf44163fac84e921513dde323. In the mount voting scheme, the messaging would indirectly indicate that the slot was being recovered.

2008-08-01[PATCH] configfs: Pin configfs subsystems separately from new config_items.Joel Becker1-9/+33
configfs_mkdir() creates a new item by calling its parent's ->make_item/group() functions. Once that object is created, configfs_mkdir() calls try_module_get() on the new item's module. If it succeeds, the module owning the new item cannot be unloaded, and configfs is safe to reference the item. If the item and the subsystem it belongs to are part of the same module, the subsystem is also pinned. This is the common case. However, if the subsystem is made up of multiple modules, this may not pin the subsystem. Thus, it would be possible to unload the toplevel subsystem module while there is still a child item. Thus, we now try_module_get() the subsystem's module. This only really affects children of the toplevel subsystem group. Deeper children already have their parents pinned.

2008-08-01[PATCH] configfs: Fix open directory making rmdir() failLouis Rilling1-1/+2
When checking for user-created elements under an item to be removed by rmdir(), configfs_detach_prep() counts fake configfs_dirents created by dir_open() as user-created and fails when finding one. It is however perfectly valid to remove a directory that is open. Simply make configfs_detach_prep() skip fake configfs_dirent, like it already does for attributes, and like detach_groups() does.

failure Once a new configfs directory is created by configfs_attach_item() or configfs_attach_group(), a failure in the remaining initialization steps leads to removing a directory which inode the VFS may have already accessed. This commit adds the necessary inode locking to safely remove configfs directories while cleaning up after a failure. As an advantage, the locking rules of populate_groups() and detach_groups() become the same: the caller must have the group's inode mutex locked.

The same could happen with symlink() instead of mkdir(). 2/ "A" and "A/C" inodes are not locked while detach_item() is called on them, which may probably confuse VFS. This commit fixes 1/, tagging new directories with CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING before building the inode and instantiating the dentry, and validating the whole group+default groups hierarchy in a second pass by clearing CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING. mkdir(), symlink(), lookup(), and dir_open() simply return -ENOENT if called in (or linking to) a directory tagged with CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING. This does not prevent userspace from calling stat() successfuly on such directories, but this prevents userspace from adding (children to | symlinking from/to | read/write attributes of | listing the contents of) not validated items. In other words, userspace will not interact with the subsystem on a new item until the new item creation completes correctly. It was first proposed to re-use CONFIGFS_USET_IN_MKDIR instead of a new flag CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING, but this generated conflicts when checking the target of a new symlink: a valid target directory in the middle of attaching a new user-created child item could be wrongly detected as being attached. 2/ is fixed by next commit.

2008-08-01[PATCH] configfs: Fix failing symlink() making rmdir() failLouis Rilling3-0/+16
On a similar pattern as mkdir() vs rmdir(), a failing symlink() may make rmdir() fail for the symlink's parent and the symlink's target as well. failing symlink() making target's rmdir() fail: process 1: process 2: symlink("A/S" -> "B") allow_link() create_link() attach to "B" links list rmdir("B") detach_prep("B") error because of new link configfs_create_link("A", "S") error (eg -ENOMEM) failing symlink() making parent's rmdir() fail: process 1: process 2: symlink("A/D/S" -> "B") allow_link() create_link() attach to "B" links list configfs_create_link("A/D", "S") make_dirent("A/D", "S") rmdir("A") detach_prep("A") detach_prep("A/D") error because of "S" create("S") error (eg -ENOMEM) We cannot use the same solution as for mkdir() vs rmdir(), since rmdir() on the target cannot wait on the i_mutex of the new symlink's parent without risking a deadlock (with other symlink() or sys_rename()). Instead we define a global mutex protecting all configfs symlinks attachment, so that rmdir() can avoid the races above.

2008-08-01[PATCH] configfs: Fix symlink() to a removing itemLouis Rilling2-7/+13
The rule for configfs symlinks is that symlinks always point to valid config_items, and prevent the target from being removed. However, configfs_symlink() only checks that it can grab a reference on the target item, without ensuring that it remains alive until the symlink is correctly attached. This patch makes configfs_symlink() fail whenever the target is being removed, using the CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING flag set by configfs_detach_prep() and protected by configfs_dirent_lock. This patch introduces a similar (weird?) behavior as with mkdir failures making rmdir fail: if symlink() races with rmdir() of the parent directory (or its youngest user-created ancestor if parent is a default group) or rmdir() of the target directory, and then fails in configfs_create(), this can make the racing rmdir() fail despite the concerned directory having no user-created entry (resp. no symlink pointing to it or one of its default groups) in the end. This behavior is fixed in later patches. Signed-off-by: Louis Rilling <louis.rilling@kerlabs.com> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

We now use PTR_ERR() in the ->make_item() and ->make_group() operations. Folks including configfs.h need err.h. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
