... and kill a useless local variable in follow_dotdot_rcu(), while
we are at it - follow_mount_rcu(nd, path, inode) *always* assigned
value to *inode, and always it had been path->dentry->d_inode (aka
nd->path.dentry->d_inode, since it always got &nd->path as the second
argument).Signed-off-by: Al Viro

vfs_rename_dir() doesn't properly account for filesystems with
FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE. If new_dentry has a target inode attached, it
unhashes the new_dentry prior to the rename() iop and rehashes it after,
but doesn't account for the possibility that rename() may have swapped
{old,new}_dentry. For FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems, it rehashes
new_dentry (now the old renamed-from name, which d_move() expected to go
away), such that a subsequent lookup will find it. Currently all
FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems compensate for this by failing in
d_revalidate.The bug was introduced by: commit 349457ccf2592c14bdf13b6706170ae2e94931b1
"[PATCH] Allow file systems to manually d_move() inside of ->rename()"Fix by not rehashing the new dentry. Rehashing used to be needed by
d_move() but isn't anymore.Reported-by: Sage Weil

This serves no useful purpose that I can discern. All callers (rename,
rmdir) hold their own reference to the dentry.A quick audit of all file systems showed no relevant checks on the value
of d_count in vfs_rmdir/vfs_rename_dir paths.Signed-off-by: Sage Weil

This presumes that there is no reason to unhash a dentry if we fail because
it is a mountpoint or the LSM check fails, and that the LSM checks do not
depend on the dentry being unhashed.Signed-off-by: Sage Weil

new helper: complete_walk(). Done on successful completion
of walk, drops out of RCU mode, does d_revalidate of final
result if that hadn't been done already.handle_reval_dot() and nameidata_drop_rcu_last() subsumed into
that one; callers converted to use of complete_walk().Signed-off-by: Al Viro

It's a hot function, and we're better off not mixing types in the mask
calculations. The compiler just ends up mixing 16-bit and 32-bit
operations, for no good reason.So do everything in 'unsigned int' rather than mixing 'unsigned int'
masking with a 'umode_t' (16-bit) mode variable.This, together with the parent commit (47a150edc2ae: "Cache user_ns in
struct cred") makes acl_permission_check() much nicer.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

During RCU walk in path_lookupat and path_openat, the rcu lookup
frequently failed if looking up an absolute path, because when root
directory was looked up, seq number was not properly set in nameidata.We dropped out of RCU walk in nameidata_drop_rcu due to mismatch in
directory entry's seq number. We reverted to slow path walk that need
to take references.With the following patch, I saw a 50% increase in an exim mail server
benchmark throughput on a 4-socket Nehalem-EX system.Signed-off-by: Tim Chen

Cheat for now and say all files belong to init_user_ns. Next step will be
to let superblocks belong to a user_ns, and derive inode_userns(inode)
from inode->i_sb->s_user_ns. Finally we'll introduce more flexible
arrangements.Changelog:

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.
Signed-off-by: Al Viro

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

new helper: walk_component(). Handles everything except symlinks;
returns negative on error, 0 on success and 1 on symlinks we decided

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

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

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

new function: file_open_root(dentry, mnt, name, flags) opens the file
vfs_path_lookup would arrive to.Note that name can be empty; in that case the usual requirement that
dentry should be a directory is lifted.open-coded equivalents switched to it, may_open() got down exactly
one caller and became static.Signed-off-by: Al Viro
-
New lookup flag: LOOKUP_ROOT. nd->root is set (and held) by caller,
path_init() starts walking from that place and all pathname resolution
machinery never drops nd->root if that flag is set. That turns
vfs_path_lookup() into a special case of do_path_lookup() *and*
gets us down to 3 callers of link_path_walk(), making it finally
feasible to rip the handling of trailing symlink out of link_path_walk().
That will not only simply the living hell out of it, but make life
much simpler for unionfs merge. Trailing symlink handling will
become iterative, which is a good thing for stack footprint in
a lot of situations as well.Signed-off-by: Al Viro
