      [PATCH] Collect more inode information during syscall processing. · 73241ccc
      Amy Griffis 提交于
      This patch augments the collection of inode info during syscall
      processing. It represents part of the functionality that was provided
      by the auditfs patch included in RHEL4.
      
      Specifically, it:
      
      - Collects information for target inodes created or removed during
        syscalls.  Previous code only collects information for the target
        inode's parent.
      
      - Adds the audit_inode() hook to syscalls that operate on a file
        descriptor (e.g. fchown), enabling audit to do inode filtering for
        these calls.
      
      - Modifies filtering code to check audit context for either an inode #
        or a parent inode # matching a given rule.
      
      - Modifies logging to provide inode # for both parent and child.
      
      - Protect debug info from NULL audit_names.name.

      [PATCH] vfs: *at functions: core · 5590ff0d
      Ulrich Drepper 提交于
      Here is a series of patches which introduce in total 13 new system calls
      which take a file descriptor/filename pair instead of a single file
      name.  These functions, openat etc, have been discussed on numerous
      occasions.  They are needed to implement race-free filesystem traversal,
      they are necessary to implement a virtual per-thread current working
      directory (think multi-threaded backup software), etc.
      
      We have in glibc today implementations of the interfaces which use the
      /proc/self/fd magic.  But this code is rather expensive.  Here are some
      results (similar to what Jim Meyering posted before).
      
      The test creates a deep directory hierarchy on a tmpfs filesystem.  Then
      rm -fr is used to remove all directories.  Without syscall support I get
      this:
      
      real    0m31.921s
      user    0m0.688s
      sys     0m31.234s
      
      With syscall support the results are much better:
      
      real    0m20.699s
      user    0m0.536s
      sys     0m20.149s
      
      The interfaces are for obvious reasons currently not much used.  But they'll
      be used.  coreutils (and Jeff's posixutils) are already using them.
      Furthermore, code like ftw/fts in libc (maybe even glob) will also start using
      them.  I expect a patch to make follow soon.  Every program which is walking
      the filesystem tree will benefit.

      [PATCH] Fix some problems with truncate and mtime semantics. · 4a30131e
      NeilBrown 提交于
      SUS requires that when truncating a file to the size that it currently
      is:
        truncate and ftruncate should NOT modify ctime or mtime
        O_TRUNC SHOULD modify ctime and mtime.
      
      Currently mtime and ctime are always modified on most local
      filesystems (side effect of ->truncate) or never modified (on NFS).
      
      With this patch:
        ATTR_CTIME|ATTR_MTIME are sent with ATTR_SIZE precisely when
          an update of these times is required whether size changes or not
          (via a new argument to do_truncate).  This allows NFS to do
          the right thing for O_TRUNC.
        inode_setattr nolonger forces ATTR_MTIME|ATTR_CTIME when the ATTR_SIZE
          sets the size to it's current value.  This allows local filesystems
          to do the right thing for f?truncate.
      
      Also, the logic in inode_setattr is changed a bit so there are two return
      points.  One returns the error from vmtruncate if it failed, the other
      returns 0 (there can be no other failure).
      
      Finally, if vmtruncate succeeds, and ATTR_SIZE is the only change
      requested, we now fall-through and mark_inode_dirty.  If a filesystem did
      not have a ->truncate function, then vmtruncate will have changed i_size,
      without marking the inode as 'dirty', and I think this is wrong.

      [PATCH] open returns ENFILE but creates file anyway · a1a5b3d9
      Peter Staubach 提交于
      When open(O_CREAT) is called and the error, ENFILE, is returned, the file
      may be created anyway.  This is counter intuitive, against the SUS V3
      specification, and may cause applications to misbehave if they are not
      coded correctly to handle this semantic.  The SUS V3 specification
      explicitly states "No files shall be created or modified if the function
      returns -1.".
      
      The error, ENFILE, is used to indicate the system wide open file table is
      full and no more file structs can be allocated.
      
      This is due to an ordering problem.  The entry in the directory is created
      before the file struct is allocated.  If the allocation for the file struct
      fails, then the system call must return an error, but the directory entry
      was already created and can not be safely removed.
      
      The solution to this situation is relatively easy.  The file struct should
      be allocated before the directory entry is created.  If the allocation
      fails, then the error can be returned directly.  If the creation of the
      directory entry fails, then the file struct can be easily freed.

      [PATCH] files: files struct with RCU · ab2af1f5
      Dipankar Sarma 提交于
      Patch to eliminate struct files_struct.file_lock spinlock on the reader side
      and use rcu refcounting rcuref_xxx api for the f_count refcounter.  The
      updates to the fdtable are done by allocating a new fdtable structure and
      setting files->fdt to point to the new structure.  The fdtable structure is
      protected by RCU thereby allowing lock-free lookup.  For fd arrays/sets that
      are vmalloced, we use keventd to free them since RCU callbacks can't sleep.  A
      global list of fdtable to be freed is not scalable, so we use a per-cpu list.
      If keventd is already handling the current cpu's work, we use a timer to defer
      queueing of that work.
      
      Since the last publication, this patch has been re-written to avoid using
      explicit memory barriers and use rcu_assign_pointer(), rcu_dereference()
      premitives instead.  This required that the fd information is kept in a
      separate structure (fdtable) and updated atomically.

      [PATCH] files: break up files struct · badf1662
      Dipankar Sarma 提交于
      In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must
      be updated atomically.  Instead of ensuring this through too many memory
      barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure.  This
      patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate
      structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct.  It also changes all
      the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro.  Subsequent
      applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

      [PATCH] inotify · 0eeca283
      Robert Love 提交于
      inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
      its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:
      
              * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
                that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
                open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
              * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
                directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
                the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
                stat structures.
              * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful.  Signals?
      
      inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
      notification:
      
              * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
      	  You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
              * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
                you were watching is on was unmounted."
              * inotify can watch directories or files.
      
      Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
      Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
