Here's the latest version of relayfs, against linux-2.6.11-mm2. I'm hoping
you'll consider putting this version back into your tree - the previous
rounds of comment seem to have shaken out all the API issues and the number
of comments on the code itself have also steadily dwindled.
This patch is essentially the same as the relayfs redux part 5 patch, with
some minor changes based on reviewer comments. Thanks again to Pekka
Enberg for those. The patch size without documentation is now a little
smaller at just over 40k. Here's a detailed list of the changes:
- removed the attribute_flags in relay open and changed it to a
boolean specifying either overwrite or no-overwrite mode, and removed
everything referencing the attribute flags.
- added a check for NULL names in relayfs_create_entry()
- got rid of the unnecessary multiple labels in relay_create_buf()
- some minor simplification of relay_alloc_buf() which got rid of a
couple params
- updated the Documentation
In addition, this version (through code contained in the relay-apps tarball
linked to below, not as part of the relayfs patch) tries to make it as easy
as possible to create the cooperating kernel/user pieces of a typical and
common type of logging application, one where kernel logging is kicked off
when a user space data collection app starts and stops when the collection
app exits, with the data being automatically logged to disk in between. To
create this type of application, you basically just include a header file
(relay-app.h, included in the relay-apps tarball) in your kernel module,
define a couple of callbacks and call an initialization function, and on
the user side call a single function that sets up and continuously monitors
the buffers, and writes data to files as it becomes available. Channels
are created when the collection app is started and destroyed when it exits,
not when the kernel module is inserted, so different channel buffer sizes
can be specified for each separate run via command-line options. See the
README in the relay-apps tarball for details.
Also included in the relay-apps tarball are a couple examples
demonstrating how you can use this to create quick and dirty kernel
logging/debugging applications. They are:
- tprintk, short for 'tee printk', which temporarily puts a kprobe on
printk() and writes a duplicate stream of printk output to a relayfs
channel. This could be used anywhere there's printk() debugging code
in the kernel which you'd like to exercise, but would rather not have
your system logs cluttered with debugging junk. You'd probably want
to kill klogd while you do this, otherwise there wouldn't be much
point (since putting a kprobe on printk() doesn't change the output
of printk()). I've used this method to temporarily divert the packet
logging output of the iptables LOG target from the system logs to
relayfs files instead, for instance.
- klog, which just provides a printk-like formatted logging function
on top of relayfs. Again, you can use this to keep stuff out of your
system logs if used in place of printk.

Normally, activate_mm() is called from exec(), and thus it used to be a
no-op because we use a completely new "MM context" on the host (for
instance, a new process), and so we didn't need to flush any "TLB entries"
(which for us are the set of memory mappings for the host process from the
virtual "RAM" file).
Kernel threads, instead, are usually handled in a different way. So, when
for AIO we call use_mm(), things used to break and so Benjamin implemented
activate_mm(). However, that is only needed for AIO, and could slow down
exec() inside UML, so be smart: detect being called for AIO (via
PF_BORROWED_MM) and do the full flush only in that situation.
Comment also the caller so that people won't go breaking UML without
noticing. I also rely on the caller's locks for testing current->flags.

This patch modifies the VFS setxattr, getxattr, and listxattr code to fall
back to the security module for security xattrs if the filesystem does not
support xattrs natively. This allows security modules to export the incore
inode security label information to userspace even if the filesystem does
not provide xattr storage, and eliminates the need to individually patch
various pseudo filesystem types to provide such access. The patch removes
the existing xattr code from devpts and tmpfs as it is then no longer
needed.
The patch restructures the code flow slightly to reduce duplication between
the normal path and the fallback path, but this should only have one
user-visible side effect - a program may get -EACCES rather than
-EOPNOTSUPP if policy denied access but the filesystem didn't support the
operation anyway. Note that the post_setxattr hook call is not needed in
the fallback case, as the inode_setsecurity hook call handles the incore
inode security state update directly. In contrast, we do call fsnotify in
both cases.

show_smap calls first show_map and then prints its additional information to
the seq_file. show_map checks if all it has to print fits into the buffer and
if yes marks the current vma as written. While that is correct for show_map
it is not for show_smap. Here the vma should be marked as written only after
the additional information is also written.
The attached patch cures the problem. It moves the functionality of the
show_map function to a new function show_map_internal that is called with an
additional struct mem_size_stats* argument. Then show_map calls
show_map_internal with NULL as struct mem_size_stats* whereas show_smap calls
it with a real pointer. Now the final
if (m->count < m->size) /* vma is copied successfully */
m->version = (vma != get_gate_vma(task))? vma->vm_start: 0;
is done only if the whole entry fits into the buffer.

Since the patch to add a NULL short-circuit to crypto_free_tfm() went in,

The problem arises if an entity in sysfs is created and removed without
ever having been made completely visible. In SCSI this is triggered by
removing a device while it's initialising.
The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs,
the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made
to it. The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was
never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL.

The recent change to locks_remove_flock code in fs/locks.c changes how
byte range locks are removed from closing files, which shows up a bug in
cifs.
The assumption in the cifs code was that the close call sent to the
server would remove any pending locks on the server on this file, but
that is no longer safe as the fs/locks.c code on the client wants unlock
of 0 to PATH_MAX to remove all locks (at least from this client, it is
not possible AFAIK to remove all locks from other clients made to the
server copy of the file).
Note that cifs locks are different from posix locks - and it is not
possible to map posix locks perfectly on the wire yet, due to
restrictions of the cifs network protocol, even to Samba without adding
a new request type to the network protocol (which we plan to do for
Samba 3.0.21 within a few months), but the local client will have the
correct, posix view, of the lock in most cases.
The correct fix for cifs for this would involve a bigger change than I
would like to do this late in the 2.6.13-rc cycle - and would involve
cifs keeping track of all unmerged (uncoalesced) byte range locks for
each remote inode and scanning that list to remove locks that intersect
or fall wholly within the range - locks that intersect may have to be
reaquired with the smaller, remaining range.

This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs
used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions. But those
functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a
page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still
be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk.
We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it
is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking
helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability.
We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a
cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine. This
also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

The current calling conventions for ->follow_link() are already fairly
complex.
What we have is
1) you can return -error; then you must release nameidata yourself
and ->put_link() will _not_ be called.
2) you can do nd_set_link(nd, ERR_PTR(-error)) and return 0
3) you can do nd_set_link(nd, path) and return 0
4) you can return 0 (after having moved nameidata yourself)
jffs2 follow_link() is broken - it has an exit where it returns
-EIO and leaks nameidata.

Down the road we want to eliminate the use of the global kernel lock entirely
from the NFS client. To do this, we need to protect the fields in the
nfs_inode structure adequately. Start by serializing updates to the
"cache_validity" field.
Note this change addresses an SMP hang found by njw@osdl.org, where processes
deadlock because nfs_end_data_update and nfs_revalidate_mapping update the
"cache_validity" field without proper serialization.

Introduce atomic bitops to manipulate the bits in the nfs_inode structure's
"flags" field.
Using bitops means we can use a generic wait_on_bit call instead of an ad hoc
locking scheme in fs/nfs/inode.c, so we can remove the "nfs_i_wait" field from
nfs_inode at the same time.
The other new flags field will continue to use bitmask and logic AND and OR.
This permits several flags to be set at the same time efficiently. The
following patch adds a spin lock to protect these flags, and this spin lock
will later cover other fields in the nfs_inode structure, amortizing the cost
of using this type of serialization.

When the client performs an exclusive create and opens the file for writing,
a Netapp filer will first create the file using the mode 01777. It does this
since an NFSv3/v4 exclusive create cannot immediately set the mode bits.
The 01777 mode then gets put into the inode->i_mode. After the file creation
is successful, we then do a setattr to change the mode to the correct value
(as per the NFS spec).
The problem is that nfs_refresh_inode() no longer updates inode->i_mode, so
the latter retains the 01777 mode. A bit later, the VFS notices this, and calls
remove_suid(). This of course now resets the file mode to inode->i_mode & 0777.
Hey presto, the file mode on the server is now magically changed to 0777. Duh...

TxAnchor.anon_list is protected by jfsTxnLock (TXN_LOCK), but there was
a place in txLock() that was removing an entry from the list without holding
the spinlock.

The patch below unhooks fsnotify from vfs_unlink & vfs_rmdir. It
introduces two new fsnotify calls, that are hooked in at the dcache
level. This not only more closely matches how the VFS layer works, it
also avoids the problem with locking and inode lifetimes.
The two functions are
- fsnotify_nameremove -- called when a directory entry is going away.
It notifies the PARENT of the deletion. This is called from
d_delete().
- inoderemove -- called when the files inode itself is going away. It
notifies the inode that is being deleted. This is called from
dentry_iput().

I'm resending this patch, because I still believe it's the correct fix.
Tested before/after applying the patch with a test application
available from:
http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/nstest.c
Bind mount from a foreign namespace results in an un-removable mount.
The reason is that mnt->mnt_namespace is copied from the old mount in
clone_mnt(). Because of this check_mnt() in sys_umount() will fail.
The solution is to set mnt->mnt_namespace to current->namespace in
clone_mnt(). clone_mnt() is either called from do_loopback() or
copy_tree(). copy_tree() is called from do_loopback() or
copy_namespace().
When called (directly or indirectly) from do_loopback(), always
current->namspace is being modified: check_mnt(nd->mnt). So setting
mnt->mnt_namespace to current->namspace is the right thing to do.
When called from copy_namespace(), the setting of mnt_namespace is
irrelevant, since mnt_namespace is reset later in that function for
all copied mounts.
Jamie said:
This patch is correct. The old code was buggy for more fundamental and
serious reason: it broke the invariant that a tree of vfsmnts all have the
same value of mnt_namespace (and the same for the mnt_list list).

This uses the new deflateBound() thing to sanity-check the input to the
zlib decompressor before we even bother to start reading in the blocks.
