  • b24413180   License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license ... Browse Code »

    Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
    results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
    to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
    immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

    Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
    - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
    - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
    lines of source
    - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

  • 02027d42c   fs: Replace CURRENT_TIME_SEC with current_time() for inode timestamps ... Browse Code »

    CURRENT_TIME_SEC is not y2038 safe. current_time() will
    be transitioned to use 64 bit time along with vfs in a
    separate patch.
    There is no plan to transistion CURRENT_TIME_SEC to use
    y2038 safe time interfaces.

    current_time() will also be extended to use superblock
    range checking parameters when range checking is introduced.

    This works because alloc_super() fills in the the s_time_gran
    in super block to NSEC_PER_SEC.

  • 02c24a821   fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers ... Browse Code »

    Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
    in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
    the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some
    file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
    ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
    sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
    individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

    Now that the last user passing a NULL file pointer is gone we can remove
    the redundant dentry argument and associated hacks inside vfs_fsynmc_range.

    The next step will be removig the dentry argument from ->fsync, but given
    the luck with the last round of method prototype changes I'd rather
    defer this until after the main merge window.

  • 5a0e3ad6a   include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implic… ... Browse Code »

    …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • 4c728ef58   add a vfs_fsync helper ... Browse Code »

    Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call,
    and a mutex_lock/unlock of the inode mutex. All callers of fsync have
    to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get
    it right. This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this.
    It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file
    pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we
    want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there.

    Notes on the fsync callers:

    - ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the
    lower file
    - coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host
    file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing
    - shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor
    taking i_mutex. Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk
    backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of
    the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just
    not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op
    simple_sync_file directly.

    [and now actually export vfs_fsync]

  • d3fec424b   coda: remove CODA_STORE/CODA_RELEASE upcalls ... Browse Code »

    This is an variation on the patch sent by Christoph Hellwig which kills
    file_count abuse by the Coda kernel module by moving the coda_flush
    functionality into coda_release. However part of reason we were using the
    coda_flush callback was to allow Coda to pass errors that occur during
    writeback from the userspace cache manager back to close().

    As Al Viro explained on linux-fsdevel, it is impossible to guarantee that
    such errors can in fact be returned back to the caller. There are many
    cases where the last reference to a file is not released by the close
    system call and it is also impossible to pick some close as a 'last-close'
    and delay it until all other references have been destroyed.

    The CODA_STORE/CODA_RELEASE upcall combination is clearly a broken design,
    and it is better to remove it completely.

  • 75e1fcc0b   [PATCH] vfs: add lock owner argument to flush operation ... Browse Code »

    Pass the POSIX lock owner ID to the flush operation.

    This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state
    in inode->i_flock but want to handle locking/unlocking POSIX locks
    internally. FUSE is one such filesystem but I think it possible that some
    network filesystems would need this also.

    Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by
    close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking
    request in this case.
