      inotify: fix type errors in interfaces · 4ae8978c
      Michael Kerrisk 提交于
      The problems lie in the types used for some inotify interfaces, both at the kernel level and at the glibc level. This mail addresses the kernel problem. I will follow up with some suggestions for glibc changes.
      
      For the sys_inotify_rm_watch() interface, the type of the 'wd' argument is
      currently 'u32', it should be '__s32' .  That is Robert's suggestion, and
      is consistent with the other declarations of watch descriptors in the
      kernel source, in particular, the inotify_event structure in
      include/linux/inotify.h:
      
      struct inotify_event {
              __s32           wd;             /* watch descriptor */
              __u32           mask;           /* watch mask */
              __u32           cookie;         /* cookie to synchronize two events */
              __u32           len;            /* length (including nulls) of name */
              char            name[0];        /* stub for possible name */
      };
      
      The patch makes the changes needed for inotify_rm_watch().

      saner FASYNC handling on file close · 233e70f4
      Al Viro 提交于
      As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
      need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
      creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.
      
      So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
      file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set.  And lose that
      crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
      don't have to bother anymore.

      flag parameters: inotify_init · 4006553b
      Ulrich Drepper 提交于
      This patch introduces the new syscall inotify_init1 (note: the 1 stands for
      the one parameter the syscall takes, as opposed to no parameter before).  The
      values accepted for this parameter are function-specific and defined in the
      inotify.h header.  Here the values must match the O_* flags, though.  In this
      patch CLOEXEC support is introduced.

      mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create(). · 20c2df83
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
      c59def9f change. They've been
      BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
      either.
      
      This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
      completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
      about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
      or the documentation references).

      [PATCH] inotify: fix deadlock found by lockdep · 5b6509aa
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      This is a real deadlock, a nice complex one:
      (warning: long explanation follows so that Andrew can have a complete
      patch description)
      
      it's an ABCDA deadlock:
      
      A iprune_mutex
      B inode->inotify_mutex
      C ih->mutex
      D dev->ev_mutex
      
      The AB relationship comes straight from invalidate_inodes()
      
      int invalidate_inodes(struct super_block * sb)
      {
              int busy;
              LIST_HEAD(throw_away);
      
              mutex_lock(&iprune_mutex);
              spin_lock(&inode_lock);
              inotify_unmount_inodes(&sb->s_inodes);
      
      where inotify_umount_inodes() takes the
                      mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);
      
      The BC relationship comes directly from inotify_find_update_watch():
      s32 inotify_find_update_watch(struct inotify_handle *ih, struct inode *inode,
                                    u32 mask)
      {
         ...
              mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);
              mutex_lock(&ih->mutex);
      
      The CD relationship comes from inotify_rm_wd:
      inotify_rm_wd does
              mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);
              mutex_lock(&ih->mutex)
      and then calls inotify_remove_watch_locked() which calls
      notify_dev_queue_event() which does
      	        mutex_lock(&dev->ev_mutex);
      
      (this strictly is a BCD relationship)
      
      The DA relationship comes from the most interesting part:
      
        [<ffffffff8022d9f2>] shrink_icache_memory+0x42/0x270
        [<ffffffff80240dc4>] shrink_slab+0x11d/0x1c9
        [<ffffffff802b5104>] try_to_free_pages+0x187/0x244
        [<ffffffff8020efed>] __alloc_pages+0x1cd/0x2e0
        [<ffffffff8025e1f8>] cache_alloc_refill+0x3f8/0x821
        [<ffffffff8020a5e5>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x85/0xcb
        [<ffffffff802db027>] kernel_event+0x2e/0x122
        [<ffffffff8021d61c>] inotify_dev_queue_event+0xcc/0x140
      
      inotify_dev_queue_event schedules a kernel_event which does a
      kmem_cache_alloc( , GFP_KERNEL) which may try to shrink slabs, including
      the inode cache .. which then takes iprune_mutex.
      
      And voila, there is an AB, a BC, a CD relationship (even a direct BCD),
      and also now a DA relationship -> a circular type AB-BA deadlock but
      involving 4 locks.
      
      The solution is simple: kernel_event() is NOT allowed to use GFP_KERNEL,
      but must use GFP_NOFS to not cause recursion into the VFS.

      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount · 454e2398
      David Howells 提交于
      Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
      permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
      
      The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
      pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
      which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
      superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
      
      The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
      superblock pointer.
      
      This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
      points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
      such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
      and mnt_sb would be set directly.
      
      The patch also makes the following changes:
      
       (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
           pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
           very little.
      
       (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
           normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
           always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
      
       (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
           dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
      
           This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
           aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
           currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
           and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
           dentries being left unculled.
      
           However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
           implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
           simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
           inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
           with child trees.
      
           [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
      
       (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
           changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.
