* [PATCH] fuse: check O_DIRECTMiklos Szeredi2005-09-301-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Check O_DIRECT and return -EINVAL error in open. dentry_open() also checks this but only after the open method is called. This patch optimizes away the unnecessary upcalls in this case. It could be a correctness issue too: if filesystem has open() with side effect, then it should fail before doing the open, not after.

* [PATCH] uml: remove empty hostfs_truncate methodPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-09-301-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Calling truncate() on hostfs spits a kernel warning "Something isn't implemented here", but it still works fine. Indeed, hostfs i_op->truncate doesn't do anything. But hostfs_setattr() -> set_attr() correctly detects ATTR_SIZE and calls truncate() on the host. So we should be safe (using ftruncate() may be better, in case the file is unlinked on the host, but we aren't sure to have the file open for writing, and reopening it would cause the same races; plus nobody should expect UML to be so careful). So, the warning is wrong, because the current implementation is working. Al, am I correct, and can the warning be therefore dropped?

* [PATCH] aio: avoid extra aio_{read,write} call when ki_left == 0Zach Brown2005-09-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Recently aio_p{read,write} changed to perform retries internally rather than returning -EIOCBRETRY. This inadvertantly resulted in always calling aio_{read,write} with ki_left at 0 which would in turn immediately return 0. Harmless, but we can avoid this call by checking in the caller.

* [PATCH] aio: remove unlocked task_list test and resulting raceZach Brown2005-09-301-46/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Only one of the run or kick path is supposed to put an iocb on the run list. If both of them do it than one of them can end up referencing a freed iocb. The kick path could delete the task_list item from the wait queue before getting the ctx_lock and putting the iocb on the run list. The run path was testing the task_list item outside the lock so that it could catch ki_retry methods that return -EIOCBRETRY *without* putting the iocb on a wait queue and promising to call kick_iocb. This unlocked check could then race with the kick path to cause both to try and put the iocb on the run list. The patch stops the run path from testing task_list by requring that any ki_retry that returns -EIOCBRETRY *must* guarantee that kick_iocb() will be called in the future. aio_p{read,write}, the only in-tree -EIOCBRETRY users, are updated.

* [PATCH] aio: lock around kiocbTryKick()Zach Brown2005-09-301-7/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Only one of the run or kick path is supposed to put an iocb on the run list. If both of them do it than one of them can end up referencing a freed iocb. The kick patch could set the Kicked bit before acquiring the ctx_lock and putting the iocb on the run list. The run path, while holding the ctx_lock, could see this partial kick and mistake it for a kick that was deferred while it was doing work with the run_list NULLed out. It would then race with the kick thread to add the iocb to the run list. This patch moves the kick setting under the ctx_lock so that only one of the kick or run path queues the iocb on the run list, as intended.

* [PATCH] v9fs: fix races in fid allocationLatchesar Ionkov2005-09-287-196/+200
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fid management cleanup. The patch attempts to fix the races in dentry's fid management. Dentries don't keep the opened fids anymore, they are moved to the file structs. Ideally there should be no more than one fid with fidcreate equal to zero in the dentry's list of fids. v9fs_fid_create initializes the important fields (fid, fidcreated) before v9fs_fid is added to the list. v9fs_fid_lookup returns only fids that are not created by v9fs_create. v9fs_fid_get_created returns the fid created by the same process by v9fs_create (if any) and removes it from dentry's list Signed-off-by: Latchesar Ionkov <lucho@ionkov.net> Cc: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The return in the macro used to exit from the functions that include it, after the conversion it just exits from the inline function itself.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pavel Emelianov and Kirill Korotaev observe that fs and arch users of security_vm_enough_memory tend to forget to vm_unacct_memory when a failure occurs further down (typically in setup_arg_pages variants). These are all users of insert_vm_struct, and that reservation will only be unaccounted on exit if the vma is marked VM_ACCOUNT: which in some cases it is (hidden inside VM_STACK_FLAGS) and in some cases it isn't. So x86_64 32-bit and ppc64 vDSO ELFs have been leaking memory into Committed_AS each time they're run. But don't add VM_ACCOUNT to them, it's inappropriate to reserve against the very unlikely case that gdb be used to COW a vDSO page - we ought to do something about that in do_wp_page, but there are yet other inconsistencies to be resolved. The safe and economical way to fix this is to let insert_vm_struct do the security_vm_enough_memory check when it finds VM_ACCOUNT is set. And the MIPS irix_brk has been calling security_vm_enough_memory before calling do_brk which repeats it, doubly accounting and so also leaking. Remove that, and all the fs and arch calls to security_vm_enough_memory: give it a less misleading name later on.

BUG_ON(!thread_group_empty(current)); but release_task does write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock) __exit_signal (this is where atomic_dec(&sig->count) is run) __exit_sighand __unhash_process takes write lock on tasklist_lock remove itself out of PIDTYPE_TGID list write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock) so there's a clear (although small) window between the atomic_dec(&sig->count) and the actual PIDTYPE_TGID unhashing of the thread. And actually there is no need for all threads to have exited at this point, so we simply kill the BUG_ON. Big thanks to Marc Lehmann who provided the test-case.
