We don't implement these ioctls, but some architectures define them in the

->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to
pass down lookup intents. Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't
actually pass this one down. For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct
nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only
used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation. All other
callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the
lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives
the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it. All callers already have
the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem.At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there
are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage. Before it can
actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

A few more callers of permission() just want to check for a different access
pattern on an already open file. This patch adds a wrapper for permission()
that takes a file in preparation of per-mount read-only support and to clean
up the callers a little. The helper is not intended for new code, everything
without the interface set in stone should use vfs_permission()Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Most permission() calls have a struct nameidata * available. This helper
takes that as an argument and thus makes sure we pass it down for lookup
intents and prepares for per-mount read-only support where we need a struct
vfsmount for checking whether a file is writeable.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h. The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched. In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.quilt vi `find * -type f -name "*.[ch]"|xargs grep -El '(UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|KERNEL_VERSION|linux/version.h)'|grep -Ev '(/(boot|coda|drm)/|~$)'`

When non-leader thread does exec, de_thread calls release_task(leader) before
calling exit_itimers(). If local timer interrupt happens in between, it can
oops in send_group_sigqueue() while taking ->sighand->siglock == NULL.However, we can't change send_group_sigqueue() to check p->signal != NULL,
because sys_timer_create() does get_task_struct() only in SIGEV_THREAD_ID
case. So it is possible that this task_struct was already freed and we can't
trust p->signal.This patch changes de_thread() so that leader released after exit_itimers()
call.Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov

An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation. Also
unbindable mount disallows bind mounts. The semantics is as follows.Bind semantics:
It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount.Move semantics:
It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount.Clone-namespace semantics:
If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding
cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too. Note:
there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted
but can be cloned during clone-namespace.Signed-off-by: Ram Pai

- clean up the ugliness in may_umount_tree()

umount is done under the protection of the namespace semaphore. This
can lead to intresting deadlocks when the last reference to a mount is
released, if filesystem code is in sufficiently nasty state.This collects all the to-be-released-mounts and releases them after
releasing the namespace semaphore. That both reduces the time we are
holding namespace semaphore and gets the things more robust.Idea proposed by Al Viro.

Old semantics: graft_tree() grabs a reference on the vfsmount before
returning success.New one: graft_tree() leaves that to caller.
All the callers of graft_tree() immediately dropped that reference
anyway. Changing the interface takes care of this unnecessary overhead.Idea proposed by Al Viro.

The way we currently deal with quota and process accounting that might
keep vfsmount busy at umount time is inherently broken; we try to turn
them off just in case (not quite correctly, at that) anda) pray umount doesn't fail (otherwise they'll stay turned off)
b) pray nobody doesn anything funny just as we turn quota offMoreover, LSM provides hooks for doing the same sort of broken logics.
The proper way to deal with that is to introduce the second kind of
reference to vfsmount. Semantics:- when the last normal reference is dropped, all special ones are
converted to normal ones and if there had been any, cleanup is done.
- normal reference can be cloned into a special one
- special reference can be converted to normal one; that's a no-op if
we'd already passed the point of no return (i.e. mntput() had
converted special references to normal and started cleanup).The way it works: e.g. starting process accounting converts the vfsmount
reference pinned by the opened file into special one and turns it back
to normal when it gets shut down; acct_auto_close() is done when no
normal references are left. That way it does *not* obstruct umount(2)
and it silently gets turned off when the last normal reference to
vfsmount is gone. Which is exactly what we want...The same should be done by LSM module that holds some internal
references to vfsmount and wants to shut them down on umount - it should
make them special and security_sb_umount_close() will be called exactly
when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone.quota handling is even simpler - we don't use normal file IO anymore, so
there's no need to hold vfsmounts at all. DQUOT_OFF() is done from
deactivate_super(), where it really belongs.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

If an RPC socket is serving multiple programs, then the pg_authenticate of
the first program in the list is called, instead of pg_authenticate for the
program to be run.This does not cause a problem with any programs in the current kernel, but
could confuse future code.Also set pg_authenticate for nfsd_acl_program incase it ever gets used.

There are a couple of tests which could possibly be confused by extremely
large numbers appearing in 'xdr' packets. I think the closest to an exploit
you could get would be writing random data from a free page into a file - i.e.
leak data out of kernel space.I'm fairly sure they cannot be used for remote compromise.

Most files in the nfsd filesystems are transaction files. You write a
request, and read a response.For some (e.g. 'threads') it makes sense to just be able to read and get the

nfsctl.c without going through the maintainer. This patch fixes the
regression.Signed-off-by: Neil Brown
