current_fs_time() uses struct super_block* as an argument.
As per Linus's suggestion, this is changed to take struct
inode* as a parameter instead. This is because the function
is primarily meant for vfs inode timestamps.
Also the function was renamed as per Arnd's suggestion.Change all calls to current_fs_time() to use the new
current_time() function instead. current_fs_time() will be
deleted.Signed-off-by: Deepa Dinamani

A confgifs attribute's show() callback is called once the first time
the user attempts to read from it. If it returns an error, that
error is returned to the user. However, the open file's
buffer_needs_fill is still set to zero and consecutive read() calls
will find an empty buffer that doesn't need filling and return 0 to
the user. This could give the user the wrong impression that the
attribute was read successfully.Fix this by not setting buffer_needs_fill if show() returns an error,
making consecutive read() calls call show() again and either get an
error again or get data.Signed-off-by: Tal Shorer

The simple_write_to_buffer() already increments the @ppos on success,
see fs/libfs.c simple_write_to_buffer() comment:"
On success, the number of bytes written is returned and the offset @ppos
advanced by this number, or negative value is returned on error.
"If the configfs_write_bin_file() is invoked with @count smaller than the
total length of the written binary file, it will be invoked multiple times.
Since configfs_write_bin_file() increments @ppos on success, after calling
simple_write_to_buffer(), the @ppos is incremented twice.Subsequent invocation of configfs_write_bin_file() will result in the next
piece of data being written to the offset twice as long as the length of
the previous write, thus creating buffer with "holes" in it.The simple testcase using DTO follows:
$ mkdir /sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/1
$ dd bs=1 if=foo.dtbo of=/sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/1/dtbo
Without this patch, the testcase will result in twice as big buffer in the
kernel, which is then passed to the cfs_overlay_item_dtbo_write() .Signed-off-by: Marek Vasut

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;
- >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.virtual patch

ConfigFS lacked binary attributes up until now. This patch
introduces support for binary attributes in a somewhat similar
manner of sysfs binary attributes albeit with changes that
fit the configfs usage model.Problems that configfs binary attributes fix are everything that
requires a binary blob as part of the configuration of a resource,
such as bitstream loading for FPGAs, DTBs for dynamically created
devices etc.Look at Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt for internals
and howto use them.This patch is against linux-next as of today that contains
Christoph's configfs rework.Signed-off-by: Pantelis Antoniou

This change is necessary for the SCSI target usb gadget composed with
configfs. In this case configfs will be used for two different purposes:
to compose a usb gadget and to configure the target part. If an instance
of tcm function is created in $CONFIGFS_ROOT/usb_gadget//functions
a tpg can be created in $CONFIGFS_ROOT/target/usb_gadget//, but after
a tpg is created the tcm function must not be removed until its
corresponding tpg is gone. While the configfs_depend/undepend_item() are
meant exactly for creating this kind of dependencies, they are not suitable
if the other kernel subsystem happens to be another subsystem in configfs,
so this patch adds unlocked versions meant for configfs callbacks.Above description has been provided by:
Andrzej PietrasiewiczIn configfs_depend_item() we have to consider two possible cases:
1) When we are called to depend another item in the same subsystem
as caller
In this case we should skip locking configfs root as we know
that configfs is in valid state and our subsystem will not
be unregistered during this call.2) When we are called to depend item in different subsystem than
our caller
In this case we are also sure that configfs is in valid state
but we have to lock root of configfs to avoid unregistration
of target's subsystem. As it is other than caller's subsystem,
there may be nothing what protects us against unregistration
of that subsystem.Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Opasiak

new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link(). The differences
are:
* inode and dentry are passed separately
* might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode;
the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.
* when called that way it isn't allowed to block
and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called
in non-RCU mode.It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances
converted. Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances
do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode. That'll change
in the next commits.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

This patchset introduces IIO software triggers, offers a way of configuring
them via configfs and adds the IIO hrtimer based interrupt source to be used
with software triggers.The architecture is now split in 3 parts, to remove all IIO trigger specific
parts from IIO configfs core:(1) IIO configfs - creates the root of the IIO configfs subsys.
(2) IIO software triggers - software trigger implementation, dynamically
creating /config/iio/triggers group.
(3) IIO hrtimer trigger - is the first interrupt source for software triggers
(with syfs to follow). Each trigger type can implement its own set of
attributes.Lockdep seems to be happy with the locking in configfs patch.
This patch (of 5):
We don't want to hardcode default groups at subsystem
creation time. We export:
* configfs_register_group
* configfs_unregister_group
to allow drivers to programatically create/destroy groups
later, after module init time.This is needed for IIO configfs support.
(akpm: the other 4 patches to be merged via the IIO tree)

Some modules call config_item_init_type_name() and config_group_init_type_name()
with parameter "name" directly controlled by userspace. These two
functions call config_item_set_name() with this name used as a format
string, which can be used to leak information such as content of the
stack to userspace.For example, make_netconsole_target() in netconsole module calls
config_item_init_type_name() with the name of a newly-created directory.
This means that the following commands give some unexpected output, with
configfs mounted in /sys/kernel/config/ and on a system with a
configured eth0 ethernet interface:# modprobe netconsole
# mkdir /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx
# echo eth0 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/dev_name
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/enabled
# echo eth0 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/dev_name
# dmesg |tail -n1
[ 142.697668] netconsole: target (target_ffffffffc0ae8080) is
enabled, disable to update parametersThe directory name is correct but %lx has been interpreted in the
internal item name, displayed here in the error message used by
store_dev_name() in drivers/net/netconsole.c.To fix this, update every caller of config_item_set_name to use "%s"
when operating on untrusted input.This issue was found using -Wformat-security gcc flag, once a __printf
attribute has been added to config_item_set_name().Signed-off-by: Nicolas Iooss

Pull user namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"Long ago and far away when user namespaces where young it was realized
that allowing fresh mounts of proc and sysfs with only user namespace
permissions could violate the basic rule that only root gets to decide
if proc or sysfs should be mounted at all.Some hacks were put in place to reduce the worst of the damage could
be done, and the common sense rule was adopted that fresh mounts of
proc and sysfs should allow no more than bind mounts of proc and
sysfs. Unfortunately that rule has not been fully enforced.There are two kinds of gaps in that enforcement. Only filesystems
mounted on empty directories of proc and sysfs should be ignored but
the test for empty directories was insufficient. So in my tree
directories on proc, sysctl and sysfs that will always be empty are
created specially. Every other technique is imperfect as an ordinary
directory can have entries added even after a readdir returns and
shows that the directory is empty. Special creation of directories
for mount points makes the code in the kernel a smidge clearer about
it's purpose. I asked container developers from the various container
projects to help test this and no holes were found in the set of mount
points on proc and sysfs that are created specially.This set of changes also starts enforcing the mount flags of fresh
mounts of proc and sysfs are consistent with the existing mount of
proc and sysfs. I expected this to be the boring part of the work but
unfortunately unprivileged userspace winds up mounting fresh copies of
proc and sysfs with noexec and nosuid clear when root set those flags
on the previous mount of proc and sysfs. So for now only the atime,
read-only and nodev attributes which userspace happens to keep
consistent are enforced. Dealing with the noexec and nosuid
attributes remains for another time.This set of changes also addresses an issue with how open file
descriptors from /proc//ns/* are displayed. Recently readlink of
/proc//fd has been triggering a WARN_ON that has not been
meaningful since it was added (as all of the code in the kernel was
converted) and is not now actively wrong.There is also a short list of issues that have not been fixed yet that
I will mention briefly.It is possible to rename a directory from below to above a bind mount.
At which point any directory pointers below the renamed directory can
be walked up to the root directory of the filesystem. With user
namespaces enabled a bind mount of the bind mount can be created
allowing the user to pick a directory whose children they can rename
to outside of the bind mount. This is challenging to fix and doubly
so because all obvious solutions must touch code that is in the
performance part of pathname resolution.As mentioned above there is also a question of how to ensure that
developers by accident or with purpose do not introduce exectuable
files on sysfs and proc and in doing so introduce security regressions
in the current userspace that will not be immediately obvious and as
such are likely to require breaking userspace in painful ways once
they are recognized"* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:

a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning
an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_
that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns
the symlink body. Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic
symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks. Stored pointer
is ignored in all cases except the last one.Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call
of ->put_link().b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata).
Now only the opaque pointer is. In the cases when we used the symlink body
to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition
to returning it.Signed-off-by: Al Viro
