      Un-inline the core-dump helper functions · 3aa0ce82
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit
      0eead9ab ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the
      ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes.
      
      Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything
      happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the
      bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense.
      
      dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway,
      and none of them are in any way performance-critical.  And we really
      don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already
      are.

      Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps · 0eead9ab
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct
      dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes
      back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping
      code).  Just remove it.
      
      Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write().  It probably doesn't
      matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
      points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...
      
      [ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
        calling ->write directly.  That also does the whole fsnotify and write
        statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]
      
      And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation
      code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even
      compile)

      fanotify: disable fanotify syscalls · 7c534773
      Eric Paris 提交于
      This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and
      letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them
      to sys_ni_syscall().
      
      It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not
      include an explicit prioritization between groups.  This is necessary
      for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software,
      as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers
      see the file.
      
      This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release
      (by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it
      was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in
      the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall.
      I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to
      use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed
      me up with just using what we have.  I feel this is needlessly ripping
      the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it
      needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward.
      
      Three choices:
      Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Add a
      new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Wait
      till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next
      cycle).  This is number 3.

      writeback: always use sb->s_bdi for writeback purposes · aaead25b
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      We currently use struct backing_dev_info for various different purposes.
      Originally it was introduced to describe a backing device which includes
      an unplug and congestion function and various bits of readahead information
      and VM-relevant flags.  We're also using for tracking dirty inodes for
      writeback.
      
      To make writeback properly find all inodes we need to only access the
      per-filesystem backing_device pointed to by the superblock in ->s_bdi
      inside the writeback code, and not the instances pointeded to by
      inode->i_mapping->backing_dev which can be overriden by special devices
      or might not be set at all by some filesystems.
      
      Long term we should split out the writeback-relevant bits of struct
      backing_device_info (which includes more than the current bdi_writeback)
      and only point to it from the superblock while leaving the traditional
      backing device as a separate structure that can be overriden by devices.
      
      The one exception for now is the block device filesystem which really
      wants different writeback contexts for it's different (internal) inodes
      to handle the writeout more efficiently.  For now we do this with
      a hack in fs-writeback.c because we're so late in the cycle, but in
      the future I plan to replace this with a superblock method that allows
      for multiple writeback contexts per filesystem.

      cifs: prevent infinite recursion in cifs_reconnect_tcon · f569599a
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      cifs_reconnect_tcon is called from smb_init. After a successful
      reconnect, cifs_reconnect_tcon will call reset_cifs_unix_caps. That
      function will, in turn call CIFSSMBQFSUnixInfo and CIFSSMBSetFSUnixInfo.
      Those functions also call smb_init.
      
      It's possible for the session and tcon reconnect to succeed, and then
      for another cifs_reconnect to occur before CIFSSMBQFSUnixInfo or
      CIFSSMBSetFSUnixInfo to be called. That'll cause those functions to call
      smb_init and cifs_reconnect_tcon again, ad infinitum...
      
      Break the infinite recursion by having those functions use a new
      smb_init variant that doesn't attempt to perform a reconnect.
