  • - m_start() in fs/namespace.c expects that ns->event is incremented each
    time a mount added or removed from ns->list.
    - umount_tree() removes items from the list but does not increment event
    counter, expecting that it's done before the function is called.
    - There are some codepaths that call umount_tree() without updating
    "event" counter. e.g. from __detach_mounts().
    - When this happens m_start may reuse a cached mount structure that no
    longer belongs to ns->list (i.e. use after free which usually leads
    to infinite loop).

    This change fixes the above problem by incrementing global event counter
    before invoking umount_tree().

  • v9fs may be used as lower layer of overlayfs and accessing f_path.dentry
    can lead to a crash. In this case it's a NULL pointer dereference in
    p9_fid_create().

    Fix by replacing direct access of file->f_path.dentry with the
    file_dentry() accessor, which will always return a native object.

  • Check for d_unhashed() while searching in in-lookup hash was absolutely
    wrong. Worse, it masked a deadlock on dget() done under bitlock that
    nests inside ->d_lock. Thanks to J. R. Okajima for spotting it.

  • * make autofs4_expire_indirect() skip the dentries being in process of
    expiry
    * do *not* mess with list_move(); making sure that dentry with
    AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING are not picked for expiry is enough.
    * do not remove NO_RCU when we set EXPIRING, don't bother with smp_mb()
    there. Clear it at the same time we clear EXPIRING. Makes a bunch of
    tests simpler.
    * rename NO_RCU to WANT_EXPIRE, which is what it really is.

  • d_walk() relies upon the tree not getting rearranged under it without
    rename_lock being touched. And we do grab rename_lock around the
    places that change the tree topology. Unfortunately, branch reordering
    is just as bad from d_walk() POV and we have two places that do it
    without touching rename_lock - one in handling of cursors (for ramfs-style
    directories) and another in autofs. autofs one is a separate story; this
    commit deals with the cursors.
    * mark cursor dentries explicitly at allocation time
    * make __dentry_kill() leave ->d_child.next pointing to the next
    non-cursor sibling, making sure that it won't be moved around unnoticed
    before the parent is relocked on ascend-to-parent path in d_walk().
    * make d_walk() skip cursors explicitly; strictly speaking it's
    not necessary (all callbacks we pass to d_walk() are no-ops on cursors),
    but it makes analysis easier.

  • The offset in the core file used to be tracked with ->written field of
    the coredump_params structure. The field was retired in favour of
    file->f_pos.

    However, ->f_pos is not maintained for pipes which leads to breakage.

    Restore explicit tracking of the offset in coredump_params. Introduce
    ->pos field for this purpose since ->written was already reused.

  • open("/foo/no_such_file", O_RDONLY | O_CREAT) on should fail with
    EACCES when /foo is not writable; failing with ENOENT is obviously
    wrong. That got broken by a braino introduced when moving the
    creat_error logics from atomic_open() to lookup_open(). Easy to
    fix, fortunately.

  • Ascend-to-parent logics in d_walk() depends on all encountered child
    dentries not getting freed without an RCU delay. Unfortunately, in
    quite a few cases it is not true, with hard-to-hit oopsable race as
    the result.

    Fortunately, the fix is simiple; right now the rule is "if it ever
    been hashed, freeing must be delayed" and changing it to "if it
    ever had a parent, freeing must be delayed" closes that hole and
    covers all cases the old rule used to cover. Moreover, pipes and
    sockets remain _not_ covered, so we do not introduce RCU delay in
    the cases which are the reason for having that delay conditional
    in the first place.

  • It's an analogue of commit 7500c38a (fix the braino in "namei:
    massage lookup_slow() to be usable by lookup_one_len_unlocked()").
    The same problem (->lookup()-returned unhashed negative dentry
    just might be an autofs one with ->d_manage() that would wait
    until the daemon makes it positive) applies in do_last() - we
    need to do follow_managed() first.

    Fortunately, remaining callers of follow_managed() are OK - only
    autofs has that weirdness (negative dentry that does not mean
    an instant -ENOENT)) and autofs never has its negative dentries
    hashed, so we can't pick one from a dcache lookup.

    ->d_manage() is a bloody mess ;-/

  • EOPENSTALE occuring at the last component of a trailing symlink ends up
    with do_last() retrying its lookup. After the symlink body has been
    discarded. The thing is, all this retry_lookup logics in there is not
    needed at all - the upper layers will do the right thing if we simply
    return that -EOPENSTALE as we would with any other error. Trying to
    microoptimize in do_last() is a lot of headache for no good reason.

  • The original name was simply hash_string(), but that conflicted with a
    function with that name in drivers/base/power/trace.c, and I decided
    that calling it "hashlen_" was better anyway.

    But you have to do it in two places.

  • The HPFS filesystem used generic_show_options to produce string that is
    displayed in /proc/mounts. However, there is a problem that the options
    may disappear after remount. If we mount the filesystem with option1
    and then remount it with option2, /proc/mounts should show both option1
    and option2, however it only shows option2 because the whole option
    string is replaced with replace_mount_options in hpfs_remount_fs.

    To fix this bug, implement the hpfs_show_options function that prints
    options that are currently selected.

  • Commit c8f33d0bec99 ("affs: kstrdup() memory handling") checks if the
    kstrdup function returns NULL due to out-of-memory condition.

    However, if we are remounting a filesystem with no change to
    filesystem-specific options, the parameter data is NULL. In this case,
    kstrdup returns NULL (because it was passed NULL parameter), although no
    out of memory condition exists. The mount syscall then fails with
    ENOMEM.

    This patch fixes the bug. We fail with ENOMEM only if data is non-NULL.

    The patch also changes the call to replace_mount_options - if we didn't
    pass any filesystem-specific options, we don't call
    replace_mount_options (thus we don't erase existing reported options).

  • Pull string hash improvements from George Spelvin:
    "This series does several related things:

    - Makes the dcache hash (fs/namei.c) useful for general kernel use.

    (Thanks to Bruce for noticing the zero-length corner case)

    - Converts the string hashes in to use the
    above.

    - Avoids 64-bit multiplies in hash_64() on 32-bit platforms. Two
    32-bit multiplies will do well enough.

    - Rids the world of the bad hash multipliers in hash_32.

    This finishes the job started in commit 689de1d6ca95 ("Minimal
    fix-up of bad hashing behavior of hash_64()")

    The vast majority of Linux architectures have hardware support for
    32x32-bit multiply and so derive no benefit from "simplified"
    multipliers.

    The few processors that do not (68000, h8/300 and some models of
    Microblaze) have arch-specific implementations added. Those
    patches are last in the series.

    - Overhauls the dcache hash mixing.

    The patch in commit 0fed3ac866ea ("namei: Improve hash mixing if
    CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS") was an off-the-cuff suggestion.
    Replaced with a much more careful design that's simultaneously
    faster and better. (My own invention, as there was noting suitable
    in the literature I could find. Comments welcome!)

    - Modify the hash_name() loop to skip the initial HASH_MIX(). This
    would let us salt the hash if we ever wanted to.

    - Sort out partial_name_hash().

    The hash function is declared as using a long state, even though
    it's truncated to 32 bits at the end and the extra internal state
    contributes nothing to the result. And some callers do odd things:

    - fs/hfs/string.c only allocates 32 bits of state
    - fs/hfsplus/unicode.c uses it to hash 16-bit unicode symbols not bytes

    - Modify bytemask_from_count to handle inputs of 1..sizeof(long)
    rather than 0..sizeof(long)-1. This would simplify users other
    than full_name_hash"

    Special thanks to Bruce Fields for testing and finding bugs in v1. (I
    learned some humbling lessons about "obviously correct" code.)

    On the arch-specific front, the m68k assembly has been tested in a
    standalone test harness, I've been in contact with the Microblaze
    maintainers who mostly don't care, as the hardware multiplier is never
    omitted in real-world applications, and I haven't heard anything from
    the H8/300 world"

  • This will improve the performance of hash_32() and hash_64(), but due
    to complete lack of multi-bit shift instructions on H8, performance will
    still be bad in surrounding code.

    Designing H8-specific hash algorithms to work around that is a separate
    project. (But if the maintainers would like to get in touch...)
