vfs_rename_other() does not lock renamed inode with i_mutex. Thus changing
i_nlink in a non-atomic manner (which happens in ext2_rename()) can corrupt
it as reported and analyzed by Josh.In fact, there is no good reason to mess with i_nlink of the moved file.
We did it presumably to simulate linking into the new directory and unlinking
from an old one. But the practical effect of this is disputable because fsck
can possibly treat file as being properly linked into both directories without
writing any error which is confusing. So we just stop increment-decrement
games with i_nlink which also fixes the corruption.CC: stable@kernel.org

SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created
inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating
process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the
new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path,
just the last component of the path.This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating
/etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these
operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some
difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops
to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new
behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it
does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name
exists it is fine to pass NULL.Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

The addition of 64k block capability in the rec_len_from_disk
and rec_len_to_disk functions added a bit of math overhead which
slows down file create workloads needlessly when the architecture
cannot even support 64k blocks, thanks to page size limits.The directory entry checking can also be optimized a bit
by sprinkling in some unlikely() conditions to move the
error handling out of line.bonnie++ sequential file creates on a 512MB ramdisk speeds up
from about 2200/s to about 2500/s, about a 14% improvement.Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

The BKL is still used in ext2_put_super(), ext2_fill_super(), ext2_sync_fs()
ext2_remount() and ext2_write_inode(). From these calls ext2_put_super(),
ext2_fill_super() and ext2_remount() are protected against each other by
the struct super_block s_umount rw semaphore. The call in ext2_write_inode()
could only protect the modification of the ext2_sb_info through
ext2_update_dynamic_rev() against concurrent ext2_sync_fs() or ext2_remount().
ext2_fill_super() and ext2_put_super() can be left out because you need a
valid filesystem reference in all three cases, which you do not have when
you are one of these functions.If the BKL is only protecting the modification of the ext2_sb_info it can
safely be removed since this is protected by the struct ext2_sb_info s_lock.Signed-off-by: Jan Blunck

This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
any more.do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
fill_super function.Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.[arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
don't use it elsewhere]Signed-off-by: Jan Blunck

Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding
those checks to inode_change_ok. Also clean up and document inode_change_ok
to make this obvious.As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and
simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error. This
simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize
almost everywhere. Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark
ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an
audit for its removal anyway.Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and
needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Split up the block_write_begin implementation - __block_write_begin is a new

allocated pages from block_write_begin after switching all callers that
do it to __block_write_begin.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

For filesystem that implement directories in pagecache we call
block_write_begin with an already allocated page for this code, while the
normal regular file write path uses the default block_write_begin behaviour.Get rid of the __foofs_write_begin helper and opencode the normal write_begin
call in foofs_write_begin, while adding a new foofs_prepare_chunk helper for
the directory code. The added benefit is that foofs_prepare_chunk has
a much saner calling convention.Note that the interruptible flag passed into block_write_begin is always
ignored if we already pass in a page (see next patch for details), and
we never were doing truncations of exessive blocks for this case either so we
can switch directly to block_write_begin_newtrunc.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

mtime and ctime should be changed only if the file size has actually
changed. Patches changing ext2 and tmpfs from vmtruncate to new truncate
sequence has caused regressions where they always update timestamps.There is some strange cases in POSIX where truncate(2) must not update
times unless the size has acutally changed, see 6e656be89.This area is all still rather buggy in different ways in a lot of
filesystems and needs a cleanup and audit (ideally the vfs will provide
a simple attribute or call to direct all filesystems exactly which
attributes to change). But coming up with the best solution will take a
while and is not appropriate for rc anyway.So fix recent regression for now.
