  • 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

  • When changing a file's acl mask, reiserfs_set_acl() will first set the
    group bits of i_mode to the value of the mask, and only then set the
    actual extended attribute representing the new acl.

    If the second part fails (due to lack of space, for example) and the
    file had no acl attribute to begin with, the system will from now on
    assume that the mask permission bits are actual group permission bits,
    potentially granting access to the wrong users.

    Prevent this by only changing the inode mode after the acl has been set.

  • When new directory 'DIR1' is created in a directory 'DIR0' with SGID bit
    set, DIR1 is expected to have SGID bit set (and owning group equal to
    the owning group of 'DIR0'). However when 'DIR0' also has some default
    ACLs that 'DIR1' inherits, setting these ACLs will result in SGID bit on
    'DIR1' to get cleared if user is not member of the owning group.

    Fix the problem by moving posix_acl_update_mode() out of
    __reiserfs_set_acl() into reiserfs_set_acl(). That way the function will
    not be called when inheriting ACLs which is what we want as it prevents
    SGID bit clearing and the mode has been properly set by
    posix_acl_create() anyway.

  • 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.

  • When file permissions are modified via chmod(2) and the user is not in
    the owning group or capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit is cleared in
    inode_change_ok(). Setting a POSIX ACL via setxattr(2) sets the file
    permissions as well as the new ACL, but doesn't clear the setgid bit in
    a similar way; this allows to bypass the check in chmod(2). Fix that.

  • When get_acl() is called for an inode whose ACL is not cached yet, the
    get_acl inode operation is called to fetch the ACL from the filesystem.
    The inode operation is responsible for updating the cached acl with
    set_cached_acl(). This is done without locking at the VFS level, so
    another task can call set_cached_acl() or forget_cached_acl() before the
    get_acl inode operation gets to calling set_cached_acl(), and then
    get_acl's call to set_cached_acl() results in caching an outdate ACL.

    Prevent this from happening by setting the cached ACL pointer to a
    task-specific sentinel value before calling the get_acl inode operation.
    Move the responsibility for updating the cached ACL from the get_acl
    inode operations to get_acl(). There, only set the cached ACL if the
    sentinel value hasn't changed.

    The sentinel values are chosen to have odd values. Likewise, the value
    of ACL_NOT_CACHED is odd. In contrast, ACL object pointers always have
    an even value (ACLs are aligned in memory). This allows to distinguish
    uncached ACLs values from ACL objects.

    In addition, switch from guarding inode->i_acl and inode->i_default_acl
    upates by the inode->i_lock spinlock to using xchg() and cmpxchg().

    Filesystems that do not want ACLs returned from their get_acl inode
    operations to be cached must call forget_cached_acl() to prevent the VFS
    from doing so.

  • reiserfs_chown_xattrs() takes the iattr struct passed into ->setattr
    and uses it to iterate over all the attrs associated with a file to change
    ownership of xattrs (and transfer quota associated with the xattr files).

    When the setuid bit is cleared during chown, ATTR_MODE and iattr->ia_mode
    are passed to all the xattrs as well. This means that the xattr directory
    will have S_IFREG added to its mode bits.

    This has been prevented in practice by a missing IS_PRIVATE check
    in reiserfs_acl_chmod, which caused a double-lock to occur while holding
    the write lock. Since the file system was completely locked up, the
    writeout of the corrupted mode never happened.

    This patch temporarily clears everything but ATTR_UID|ATTR_GID for the
    calls to reiserfs_setattr and adds the missing IS_PRIVATE check.

  • - Pass the user namespace the uid and gid values in the xattr are stored
    in into posix_acl_from_xattr.

    - Pass the user namespace kuid and kgid values should be converted into
    when storing uid and gid values in an xattr in posix_acl_to_xattr.

    - Modify all callers of posix_acl_from_xattr and posix_acl_to_xattr to
    pass in &init_user_ns.

    In the short term this change is not strictly needed but it makes the
    code clearer. In the longer term this change is necessary to be able to
    mount filesystems outside of the initial user namespace that natively
    store posix acls in the linux xattr format.

  • reiserfs_acl_chmod() can be called by reiserfs_set_attr() and then take
    the reiserfs lock a second time. Thereafter it may call journal_begin()
    that definitely requires the lock not to be nested in order to release
    it before taking the journal mutex because the reiserfs lock depends on
    the journal mutex already.

    So, aviod nesting the lock in reiserfs_acl_chmod().

  • …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.

  • reiserfs_get_acl is usually not called under the reiserfs lock,
    as it doesn't need it. But it happens when it is called by
    reiserfs_acl_chmod(), which creates a dependency inversion against
    the private xattr inodes mutexes for the given inode.

    We need to call it without the reiserfs lock, especially since
    it's unnecessary.

  • Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr
    handler methods. This allows using the same methods for multiple
    handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action
    for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
    attribute. With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
    methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
    jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.

    Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
    using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,
    e.g. cifs.
