* Introduce is_owner_or_cap() to wrap CAP_FOWNER use with fsuid checkSatyam Sharma2007-07-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as well, thus violating its semantics. [ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ... untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ] The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

* [JFFS2] Tidy up licensing/copyright boilerplate.David Woodhouse2007-04-251-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason. We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody has the right to license it differently.

* [JFFS2][XATTR] Fix memory leak in POSIX-ACL supportKaiGai Kohei2006-07-021-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | jffs2_clear_acl() which releases acl caches allocated by kmalloc() was defined but it was never called. Thus, we faced to the risk of memory leaking. This patch plugs jffs2_clear_acl() into jffs2_do_clear_inode(). It ensures to release acl cache when inode is cleared.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enable to handle the case when updating null xattr by null ACL. When we try to set NULL into NULL xattr, xattr subsystem returns -ENODATA.

* [JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5)KaiGai Kohei2006-05-131-0/+483
This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5). There are some significant differences from previous version posted at last December. The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support. Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype. In addition, some bugs are fixed. - A potential race condition was fixed. - Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed. - A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed. The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed and updated if necessary. Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.
