  • This code was introduced four years ago in commit
    3e57ecf640428c01ba1ed8c8fc538447ada1715b without any review and has
    been unused since. Remove it just as the rest of the code introduced
    in that commit to reduce that stack usage and complexity in this central
    piece of code.

  • By making this member a void pointer we can get rid of a lot of pointless
    casts.

  • Currently we need to either call IHOLD or xfs_trans_ihold on an inode when
    joining it to a transaction via xfs_trans_ijoin.

    This patches instead makes xfs_trans_ijoin usable on it's own by doing
    an implicity xfs_trans_ihold, which also allows us to drop the third
    argument. For the case where we want to hold a reference on the inode
    a xfs_trans_ijoin_ref wrapper is added which does the IHOLD and marks
    the inode for needing an xfs_iput. In addition to the cleaner interface
    to the caller this also simplifies the implementation.

  • Get rid of the xfs_buf_pin/xfs_buf_unpin/xfs_buf_ispin helpers and opencode
    them in their only callers, just like we did for the inode pinning a while
    ago. Also remove duplicate trace points - the bufitem tracepoints cover
    all the information that is present in a buffer tracepoint.

  • The unpin_remove item operation instances always share most of the
    implementation with the respective unpin implementation. So instead
    of keeping two different entry points add a remove flag to the unpin
    operation and share the code more easily.

  • Currently we track log item descriptor belonging to a transaction using a
    complex opencoded chunk allocator. This code has been there since day one
    and seems to work around the lack of an efficient slab allocator.

    This patch replaces it with dynamically allocated log item descriptors
    from a dedicated slab pool, linked to the transaction by a linked list.

    This allows to greatly simplify the log item descriptor tracking to the
    point where it's just a couple hundred lines in xfs_trans.c instead of
    a separate file. The external API has also been simplified while we're
    at it - the xfs_trans_add_item and xfs_trans_del_item functions to add/
    delete items from a transaction have been simplified to the bare minium,
    and the xfs_trans_find_item function is replaced with a direct dereference
    of the li_desc field. All debug code walking the list of log items in
    a transaction is down to a simple list_for_each_entry.

    Note that we could easily use a singly linked list here instead of the
    double linked list from list.h as the fastpath only does deletion from
    sequential traversal. But given that we don't have one available as
    a library function yet I use the list.h functions for simplicity.

  • Dmapi support was never merged upstream, but we still have a lot of hooks
    bloating XFS for it, all over the fast pathes of the filesystem.

    This patch drops over 700 lines of dmapi overhead. If we'll ever get HSM
    support in mainline at least the namespace events can be done much saner
    in the VFS instead of the individual filesystem, so it's not like this
    is much help for future work.

  • Fix the security problem in the CIFS filesystem DNS lookup code in which a
    malicious redirect could be installed by a random user by simply adding a
    result record into one of their keyrings with add_key() and then invoking a
    CIFS CFS lookup [CVE-2010-2524].

    This is done by creating an internal keyring specifically for the caching of
    DNS lookups. To enforce the use of this keyring, the module init routine
    creates a set of override credentials with the keyring installed as the thread
    keyring and instructs request_key() to only install lookup result keys in that
    keyring.

    The override is then applied around the call to request_key().

    This has some additional benefits when a kernel service uses this module to
    request a key:

    (1) The result keys are owned by root, not the user that caused the lookup.

    (2) The result keys don't pop up in the user's keyrings.

    (3) The result keys don't come out of the quota of the user that caused the
    lookup.

    The keyring can be viewed as root by doing cat /proc/keys:

    2a0ca6c3 I----- 1 perm 1f030000 0 0 keyring .dns_resolver: 1/4

    It can then be listed with 'keyctl list' by root.

    # keyctl list 0x2a0ca6c3
    1 key in keyring:
    726766307: --alswrv 0 0 dns_resolver: foo.bar.com
