      autofs: work around unhappy compat problem on x86-64 · a32744d4
      Ian Kent 提交于
      When the autofs protocol version 5 packet type was added in commit
      5c0a32fc ("autofs4: add new packet type for v5 communications"), it
      obvously tried quite hard to be word-size agnostic, and uses explicitly
      sized fields that are all correctly aligned.
      
      However, with the final "char name[NAME_MAX+1]" array at the end, the
      actual size of the structure ends up being not very well defined:
      because the struct isn't marked 'packed', doing a "sizeof()" on it will
      align the size of the struct up to the biggest alignment of the members
      it has.
      
      And despite all the members being the same, the alignment of them is
      different: a "__u64" has 4-byte alignment on x86-32, but native 8-byte
      alignment on x86-64.  And while 'NAME_MAX+1' ends up being a nice round
      number (256), the name[] array starts out a 4-byte aligned.
      
      End result: the "packed" size of the structure is 300 bytes: 4-byte, but
      not 8-byte aligned.
      
      As a result, despite all the fields being in the same place on all
      architectures, sizeof() will round up that size to 304 bytes on
      architectures that have 8-byte alignment for u64.
      
      Note that this is *not* a problem for 32-bit compat mode on POWER, since
      there __u64 is 8-byte aligned even in 32-bit mode.  But on x86, 32-bit
      and 64-bit alignment is different for 64-bit entities, and as a result
      the structure that has exactly the same layout has different sizes.
      
      So on x86-64, but no other architecture, we will just subtract 4 from
      the size of the structure when running in a compat task.  That way we
      will write the properly sized packet that user mode expects.
      
      Not pretty.  Sadly, this very subtle, and unnecessary, size difference
      has been encoded in user space that wants to read packets of *exactly*
      the right size, and will refuse to touch anything else.

      fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup path · fb045adb
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
      flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
      This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
      situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
      have d_op but not the particular operation.
      
      Patched with:
      
      git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

      fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode · 85fe4025
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
      move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
      For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
      the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
      by themselves.  For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
      any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
      it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
      but that's left for later patches.

      autofs4: make autofs type usage explicit · a92daf6b
      Ian Kent 提交于
      - the type assigned at mount when no type is given is changed
        from 0 to AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT. This was done because 0 and
        AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT were being treated implicitly as the same
        type.
      
      - previously, an offset mount had it's type set to
        AUTOFS_TYPE_DIRECT|AUTOFS_TYPE_OFFSET but the mount control
        re-implementation needs to be able distinguish all three types.
        So this was changed to make the type setting explicit.
      
      - a type AUTOFS_TYPE_ANY was added for use by the re-implementation
        when checking if a given path is a mountpoint. It's not really a
        type as we use this to ask if a given path is a mountpoint in the
        autofs_dev_ioctl_ismountpoint() function.
      
      - functions to set and test the autofs mount types have been added to
        improve readability and make the type usage explicit.
      
      - the mount type is used from user space for the mount control
        re-implementtion so, for consistency, all the definitions have
        been moved to the user space include file include/linux/auto_fs4.h.

      autofs4: fix waitq locking · 5a11d4d0
      Ian Kent 提交于
      The autofs4_catatonic_mode() function accesses the wait queue without any
      locking but can be called at any time.  This could lead to a possible
      double free of the name field of the wait and a double fput of the daemon
      communication pipe or an fput of a NULL file pointer.

      autofs4: use look aside list for lookups · 25767378
      Ian Kent 提交于
      A while ago a patch to resolve a deadlock during directory creation was
      merged.  This delayed the hashing of lookup dentrys until the ->mkdir()
      (or ->symlink()) operation completed to ensure we always went through
      ->lookup() instead of also having processes go through ->revalidate() so
      our VFS locking remained consistent.
      
      Now we are seeing a couple of side affects of that change in situations
      with heavy mount activity.
      
      Two cases have been identified:
      
      1) When a mount request is triggered, due to the delayed hashing, the
         directory created by user space for the mount point doesn't have the
         DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING flag set.  In the case of an autofs multi-mount
         where a tree of mount point directories are created this can lead to
         the path walk continuing rather than the dentry being sent to the wait
         queue to wait for request completion.  This is because, if the pending
         flag isn't set, the criteria for deciding this is a mount in progress
         fails to hold, namely that the dentry is not a mount point and has no
         subdirectories.
      
      2) A mount request dentry is initially created negative and unhashed.
         It remains this way until the ->mkdir() callback completes.  Since it
         is unhashed a fresh dentry is used when the user space mount request
         creates the mount point directory.  This leaves the original dentry
         negative and unhashed.  But revalidate has no way to tell the VFS that
         the dentry has changed, other than to force another ->lookup() by
         returning false, which is at best wastefull and at worst not possible.
         This results in an -ENOENT return from the original path walk when in
         fact the mount succeeded.
      
      To resolve this we need to ensure that the same dentry is used in all
      calls to ->lookup() during the course of a mount request.  This patch
      achieves that by adding the initial dentry to a look aside list and
      removes it at ->mkdir() or ->symlink() completion (or when the dentry is
      released), since these are the only create operations autofs4 supports.

      autofs4: don't make expiring dentry negative · 5f6f4f28
      Ian Kent 提交于
      Correct the error of making a positive dentry negative after it has been
      instantiated.
      
      The code that makes this error attempts to re-use the dentry from a
      concurrent expire and mount to resolve a race and the dentry used for the
      lookup must be negative for mounts to trigger in the required cases.  The
      fact is that the dentry doesn't need to be re-used because all that is
      needed is to preserve the flag that indicates an expire is still
      incomplete at the time of the mount request.
      
      This change uses the the dentry to check the flag and wait for the expire
      to complete then discards it instead of attempting to re-use it.

      pid namespaces: round up the API · a47afb0f
      Pavel Emelianov 提交于
      The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and
      task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking
      at the code for a long time.
      
      The proposals are to
      * equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
        represent that fact,
      * and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
        the common prefix of the same name.
      
      For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
      replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
      are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.
