The new vfs locking scheme introduced in 2.6.38 breaks NFS sillyrename
because the latter relies on being able to determine the parent
directory of the dentry in the ->iput() callback in order to send the
appropriate unlink rpc call.Looking at the code that cares about races with dput(), there doesn't
seem to be anything that specifically uses d_parent as a test for
whether or not there is a race:
- __d_lookup_rcu(), __d_lookup() all test for d_hashed() after d_parent
- shrink_dcache_for_umount() is safe since nothing else can rearrange
the dentries in that super block.
- have_submount(), select_parent() and d_genocide() can test for a
deletion if we set the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED flag when the dentry
is removed from the parent's d_subdirs list.Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

This creates a helper function for he "try to ascend into the parent
directory" case, which was written out in triplicate before. With all
the locking and subtle sequence number stuff, we really don't want to
duplicate that kind of code.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

* pull the handling of current->total_link_count into
__do_follow_link()
* put the common "do ->put_link() if needed and path_put() the link"
stuff into a helper (put_link(nd, link, cookie))
* rename __do_follow_link() to follow_link(), while we are at itSigned-off-by: Al Viro

The last remaining place (resolution of nested symlink) converted
to the loop of the same kind we have in path_lookupat() and
path_openat().Note that we still *do* have a recursion in pathname resolution;
can't avoid it, really. However, it's strictly for nested symlinks
now - i.e. ones in the middle of a pathname.link_path_walk() has lost the tail now - it always walks everything
except the last component.do_follow_link() renamed to nested_symlink() and moved down.

-
Now that link_path_walk() is called without LOOKUP_PARENT
only from do_follow_link(), we can simplify the checks in
last component handling. First of all, checking if we'd
arrived to a directory is not needed - the caller will check
it anyway. And LOOKUP_FOLLOW is guaranteed to be there,
since we only get to that place with nd->depth > 0.Signed-off-by: Al Viro
-
Now the only caller of link_path_walk() that does *not* pass
LOOKUP_PARENT is do_follow_link()Signed-off-by: Al Viro

new helper: walk_component(). Handles everything except symlinks;
returns negative on error, 0 on success and 1 on symlinks we decided
to follow. Drops out of RCU mode on such symlinks.link_path_walk() and do_last() switched to using that.

Just need to make sure that AF_UNIX garbage collector won't
confuse O_PATHed socket on filesystem for real AF_UNIX opened
socket.Signed-off-by: Al Viro
-
For readlinkat() we simply allow empty pathname; it will fail unless
we have dfd equal to O_PATH-opened symlink, so we are outside of
POSIX scope here. For fchownat() and fstatat() we allow AT_EMPTY_PATH;
let the caller explicitly ask for such behaviour.Signed-off-by: Al Viro
-
At that point we can't do almost nothing with them. They can be opened
with O_PATH, we can manipulate such descriptors with dup(), etc. and
we can see them in /proc/*/{fd,fdinfo}/*.We can't (and won't be able to) follow /proc/*/fd/* symlinks for those;
there's simply not enough information for pathname resolution to go on
from such point - to resolve a symlink we need to know which directory
does it live in.We will be able to do useful things with them after the next commit, though -
readlinkat() and fchownat() will be possible to use with dfd being an
O_PATH-opened symlink and empty relative pathname. Combined with
open_by_handle() it'll give us a way to do realink-by-handle and
lchown-by-handle without messing with more redundant syscalls.Signed-off-by: Al Viro
-
New flag for open(2) - O_PATH. Semantics:
* pathname is resolved, but the file itself is _NOT_ opened
as far as filesystem is concerned.
* almost all operations on the resulting descriptors shall
fail with -EBADF. Exceptions are:
1) operations on descriptors themselves (i.e.
close(), dup(), dup2(), dup3(), fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD),
fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, ...), fcntl(fd, F_GETFD),
fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, ...))
2) fcntl(fd, F_GETFL), for a common non-destructive way to
check if descriptor is open
3) "dfd" arguments of ...at(2) syscalls, i.e. the starting
points of pathname resolution
* closing such descriptor does *NOT* affect dnotify or
posix locks.
* permissions are checked as usual along the way to file;
no permission checks are applied to the file itself. Of course,
giving such thing to syscall will result in permission checks (at
the moment it means checking that starting point of ....at() is
a directory and caller has exec permissions on it).fget() and fget_light() return NULL on such descriptors; use of
fget_raw() and fget_raw_light() is needed to get them. That protects
existing code from dealing with those things.There are two things still missing (they come in the next commits):
one is handling of symlinks (right now we refuse to open them that
way; see the next commit for semantics related to those) and another
is descriptor passing via SCM_RIGHTS datagrams.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Signed-off-by: Al Viro -
Add inode->i_nlink == 0 check in VFS. Some of the file systems
do this internally. A followup patch will remove those instance.
This is needed to ensure that with link by handle we don't allow
to create hardlink of an unlinked file. The check also prevent a race
between unlink and linkSigned-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V

Signed-off-by: Al Viro -
For name_to_handle_at(2) we'll want both ...at()-style syscall that
would be usable for non-directory descriptors (with empty relative
pathname). Introduce new flag (AT_EMPTY_PATH) to deal with that and
corresponding LOOKUP_EMPTY; teach user_path_at() and path_init() to
deal with the latter.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

oom_kill_process() starts with victim_points == 0. This means that
(most likely) any child has more points and can be killed erroneously.Also, "children has a different mm" doesn't match the reality, we should
check child->mm != t->mm. This check is not exactly correct if t->mm ==
NULL but this doesn't really matter, oom_kill_task() will kill them
anyway.Note: "Kill all processes sharing p->mm" in oom_kill_task() is wrong
too.Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov

Since commit 32fd6901 (MIPS: Alchemy: get rid of common/reset.c)
Alchemy-based boards use their own reset function. For MTX-1 and XXS1500,
the reset function pokes at the BCSR.SYSTEM_RESET register, but this does
not work. According to Bruno Randolf, this was not tested when written.Previously, the generic au1000_restart() routine called the board specific
reset function, which for MTX-1 and XXS1500 did not work, but finally made
a jump to the reset vector, which really triggers a system restart. Fix
reboot for both targets by jumping to the reset vector.Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli

mlog_exit is used to record the exit status of a function.
But because it is added in so many functions, if we enable it,
the system logs get filled up quickly and cause too much I/O.
So actually no one can open it for a production system or even
for a test.This patch just try to remove it or change it. So:
1. if all the error paths already use mlog_errno, it is just removed.
Otherwise, it will be replaced by mlog_errno.
2. if it is used to print some return value, it is replaced with
mlog(0,...).
mlog_exit_ptr is changed to mlog(0.
All those mlog(0,...) will be replaced with trace events later.Signed-off-by: Tao Ma

About one year ago, Wengang Wang tried some first steps
to add tracepoints to ocfs2. Hiss original patch is here:
http://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2009-November/005512.htmlBut as Steven Rostedt indicated in his article
http://lwn.net/Articles/383362/, we'd better have our trace
