commit 4bacc9c9234c7c8eec44f5ed4e960d9f96fa0f01 upstream.
Make file->f_path always point to the overlay dentry so that the path in
/proc/pid/fd is correct and to ensure that label-based LSMs have access to the
overlay as well as the underlay (path-based LSMs probably don't need it).Using my union testsuite to set things up, before the patch I see:
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5 /a/foo107
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107
...
Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381 Links: 1
...
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
...
Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381 Links: 1
...After the patch:
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5 /mnt/a/foo107
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107
...
Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346 Links: 1
...
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
...
Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346 Links: 1
...Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command. It was
pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107
(which is correct).The inode accessed, however, is the lower layer. The union layer is on device
25h/37d and the upper layer on 24h/36d.Signed-off-by: David Howells

Pull xfs update from Dave Chinner:
"This update contains:- RENAME_WHITEOUT support
- conversion of per-cpu superblock accounting to use generic counters
- new inode mmap lock so that we can lock page faults out of
truncate, hole punch and other direct extent manipulation functions
to avoid racing mmap writes from causing data corruption- rework of direct IO submission and completion to solve data
corruption issue when running concurrent extending DIO writes.
Also solves problem of running IO completion transactions in
interrupt context during size extending AIO writes.- FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE support for inserting holes into a file via
direct extent manipulation to avoid needing to copy data within the
file- attribute block header field overflow fix for 64k block size
filesystems- Lots of changes to log messaging to be more informative and concise
when errors occur. Also prevent a lot of unnecessary log spamming
due to cascading failures in error conditions.- lots of cleanups and bug fixes
One thing of note is the direct IO fixes that we merged last week
after the window opened. Even though a little late, they fix a user

We have observed a BUG() crash in fs/attr.c:notify_change(). The crash
occurs during an rsync into a filesystem that is exported via NFS.1.) fs/attr.c:notify_change() modifies the caller's version of attr.
2.) 6de0ec00ba8d ("VFS: make notify_change pass ATTR_KILL_S*ID to
setattr operations") introduced a BUG() restriction such that "no
function will ever call notify_change() with both ATTR_MODE and
ATTR_KILL_S*ID set". Under some circumstances though, it will have
assisted in setting the caller's version of attr to this very
combination.
3.) 27ac0ffeac80 ("locks: break delegations on any attribute
modification") introduced code to handle breaking
delegations. This can result in notify_change() being re-called. attr
_must_ be explicitly reset to avoid triggering the BUG() established
in #2.
4.) The path that that triggers this is via fs/open.c:chmod_common().
The combination of attr flags set here and in the first call to
notify_change() along with a later failed break_deleg_wait()
results in notify_change() being called again via retry_deleg
without resetting attr.Solution is to move retry_deleg in chmod_common() a bit further up to
ensure attr is completely reset.There are other places where this seemingly could occur, such as
fs/utimes.c:utimes_common(), but the attr flags are not initially
set in such a way to trigger this.Fixes: 27ac0ffeac80 ("locks: break delegations on any attribute modification")

FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE that is needed for someone who wants to add
some data in the middle of file.FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE will create space for writing new data within
a file after shifting extents to right as given length. This command
also has same limitations as FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE in that
operations need to be filesystem block boundary aligned and cannot

There are several areas in the kernel that create temporary filename
objects using the following pattern:int func(const char *name)
{
struct filename *file = { .name = name };
...
return 0;
}... which for the most part works okay, but it causes havoc within the
audit subsystem as the filename object does not persist beyond the
lifetime of the function. This patch converts all of these temporary
filename objects into proper filename objects using getname_kernel()
and putname() which ensure that the filename object persists until the
audit subsystem is finished with it.Also, a special thanks to Al Viro, Guenter Roeck, and Sabrina Dubroca
for helping resolve a difficult kernel panic on boot related to a
use-after-free problem in kern_path_create(); the thread can be seen

The fanotify and the inotify API can be used to monitor changes of the
file system. System call fallocate() modifies files. Hence it should
trigger the corresponding fanotify (FAN_MODIFY) and inotify (IN_MODIFY)
events. The most interesting case is FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE because
this value allows to create arbitrary file content from random data.This patch adds the missing call to fsnotify_modify().
The FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY event will be created when fallocate()
succeeds. It will even be created if the file length remains unchanged,
e.g. when calling fanotify with flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE.This logic was primarily chosen to keep the coding simple.
It resembles the logic of the write() system call.
When we call write() we always create a FAN_MODIFY event, even in the case
of overwriting with identical data.Events FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY do not provide any guarantee that data was
actually changed.Furthermore even if if the filesize remains unchanged, fallocate() may
influence whether a subsequent write() will succeed and hence the
fallocate() call may be considered a modification.The fallocate(2) man page teaches: After a successful call, subsequent
writes into the range specified by offset and len are guaranteed not to
fail because of lack of disk space.So calling fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, offset, len) may result in
different outcomes of a subsequent write depending on the values of offset
and len.Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt

Currently some file system have IS_SWAPFILE check in their fallocate

Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" -
Currently in do_fallocate in collapse range case we're checking
whether offset + len is not bigger than i_size. However there is
nothing which would prevent i_size from changing so the check is
pointless. It should be done in the file system itself and the file
system needs to make sure that i_size is not going to change. The
i_size check for the other fallocate modes are also done in the
filesystems.As it is now we can easily crash the kernel by having two processes
doing truncate and fallocate collapse range at the same time. This
can be reproduced on ext4 and it is theoretically possible on xfs even
though I was not able to trigger it with this simple test.This commit removes the check from do_fallocate and adds it to the
file system.Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner

Introduce new FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE flag for fallocate. This has the same
functionality as xfs ioctl XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE.It can be used to convert a range of file to zeros preferably without
issuing data IO. Blocks should be preallocated for the regions that span
holes in the file, and the entire range is preferable converted to
unwritten extents - even though file system may choose to zero out the
extent or do whatever which will result in reading zeros from the range
while the range remains allocated for the file.This can be also used to preallocate blocks past EOF in the same way as
with fallocate. Flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE which should cause the inode
size to remain the same.Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner

Our write() system call has always been atomic in the sense that you get
the expected thread-safe contiguous write, but we haven't actually
guaranteed that concurrent writes are serialized wrt f_pos accesses, so
threads (or processes) that share a file descriptor and use "write()"
concurrently would quite likely overwrite each others data.This violates POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4 Section XSI 2.9.7 that says:
"2.9.7 Thread Interactions with Regular File Operations
All of the following functions shall be atomic with respect to each
other in the effects specified in POSIX.1-2008 when they operate on
regular files or symbolic links: [...]"and one of the effects is the file position update.
This unprotected file position behavior is not new behavior, and nobody
has ever cared. Until now. Yongzhi Pan reported unexpected behavior to
Michael Kerrisk that was due to this.This resolves the issue with a f_pos-specific lock that is taken by
read/write/lseek on file descriptors that may be shared across threads
or processes.Reported-by: Yongzhi Pan

This patch is in response of the following post:
http://lwn.net/Articles/556136/
"ext4: introduce two new ioctls"Dave chinner suggested that truncate_block_range
(which was one of the ioctls name) should be a fallocate operation
and not any fs specific ioctl, hence we add this functionality to new flags of fallocate.This new functionality of collapsing range could be used by media editing tools
which does non linear editing to quickly purge and edit parts of a media file.
This will immensely improve the performance of these operations.
The limitation of fs block size aligned offsets can be easily handled
by media codecs which are encapsulated in a conatiner as they have to
just change the offset to next keyframe value to match the proper alignment.Signed-off-by: Namjae Jeon

nsown_capable is a special case of ns_capable essentially for just CAP_SETUID and
CAP_SETGID. For the existing users it doesn't noticably simplify things and
from the suggested patches I have seen it encourages people to do the wrong
thing. So remove nsown_capable.Acked-by: Serge Hallyn

O_TMPFILE, like O_CREAT, should respect the requested mode and should
create regular files.This fixes two bugs: O_TMPFILE required privilege (because the mode
ended up as 000) and it produced bogus inodes with no type.Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski
