* UBIFS: extend debug/message capabilitiesSheng Yong2015-03-251-52/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the case where we have more than one volumes on different UBI devices, it may be not that easy to tell which volume prints the messages. Add ubi number and volume id in ubifs_msg/warn/error to help debug. These two values are passed by struct ubifs_info. For those where ubifs_info is not initialized yet, ubifs_* is replaced by pr_*. For those where ubifs_info is not avaliable, ubifs_info is passed to the calling function as a const parameter. The output looks like, [ 95.444879] UBIFS (ubi0:1): background thread "ubifs_bgt0_1" started, PID 696 [ 95.484688] UBIFS (ubi0:1): UBIFS: mounted UBI device 0, volume 1, name "test1" [ 95.484694] UBIFS (ubi0:1): LEB size: 126976 bytes (124 KiB), min./max.

* UBIFS: do not write master node if need recoverySheng Yong2015-03-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The commits 781c571 ("UBIFS: intialize LPT earlier") and 0980119 ("UBIFS: fix-up free space earlier") move some initialization before marking the master node dirty. But the modification changes the conditions of writing master. If unclean umount happens, ubifs may fail when mounting. But trying to mount it will write new master nodes on the flash. This is useless but increasing sqnum. So check need_recovery before writing master node, and don't create new master node if filesystem needs recovery.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated to it's original purpose. Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

| * fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()Theodore Ts'o2014-03-131-0/+1

This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful, except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting remounted read-only. However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are actually depending on this behavior. In most file systems, it's probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something like romfs).

* | mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cacheJohannes Weiner2014-04-031-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point, reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty. Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check for this flag before installing shadow pages.

* UBIFS: make space fixup work in the remount caseArtem Bityutskiy2013-03-141-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The UBIFS space fixup is a useful feature which allows to fixup the "broken" flash space at the time of the first mount. The "broken" space is usually the result of using a "dumb" industrial flasher which is not able to skip empty NAND pages and just writes all 0xFFs to the empty space, which has grave side-effects for UBIFS when UBIFS trise to write useful data to those empty pages. The fix-up feature works roughly like this: 1. mkfs.ubifs sets the fixup flag in UBIFS superblock when creating the image (see -F option) 2. when the file-system is mounted for the first time, UBIFS notices the fixup flag and re-writes the entire media atomically, which may take really a lot of time. 3. UBIFS clears the fixup flag in the superblock. This works fine when the file system is mounted R/W for the very first time. But it did not really work in the case when we first mount the file-system R/O, and then re-mount R/W. The reason was that we started the fixup procedure too late, which we cannot really do because we have to fixup the space before it starts being used.

* fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.Eric W. Biederman2013-03-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-" and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules to match. A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel. Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially making things safer with no real cost. Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe, well understood work-arounds to known problematic software. This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module autofs4. This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module. After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module() without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep. Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT, which most filesystems do not set today.

As it is, we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of struct file we used to have way back). A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives, disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file leak. - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have). - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and switch of fdinfo to seq_file. - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate pile, this was just a mechanical code movement. - a few misc patches all over the place.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's no reason to call rcu_barrier() on every deactivate_locked_super(). We only need to make sure that all delayed rcu free inodes are flushed before we destroy related cache. Removing rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() affects some fast paths.

This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review. The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network. Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues. The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int. Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to handle those places with simple trivial patches. Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before. Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts for most of the code size growth in my git tree. Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications. While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty. Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no problems from identical code from different trees showing up in linux-next. After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."
