      vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semantics · 6b2f3d1f
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
      Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
      since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
      great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
      O_DSYNC" comment.  This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
      semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics.  After Jan's O_SYNC
      patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
      simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
      vfs_fsync_range and when not.
      
      This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
      numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
      flag.  To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
      both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
      sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.
      
      This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
      just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
      places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition.  Drivers and
      network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
      full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set.  The few places setting O_SYNC for
      lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.
      
      We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
      to make sure we always get these sane options.
      
      Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
      O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op.  We try to repair it by using it for
      the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
      O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

      USB: g_file_storage: fix use-after-free bug when closing files · 82a10a81
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as1231) fixes a use-after-free bug in g_file_storage.  A
      device's name may not be available after the device is unregistered,
      even if the device structure itself is still allocated.  Since
      close_backing_file() prints a LUN's name for debugging, it shouldn't
      be called after the LUN has been unregistered.
      
      That whole area needed to be cleaned up; the backing files were
      getting closed in a couple of different places.  The patch fixes
      things so that they get closed in just one place, as part of the
      unbind procedure, immediately before the LUN is unregistered.

      Use f_lock to protect f_flags · db1dd4d3
      Jonathan Corbet 提交于
      Traditionally, changes to struct file->f_flags have been done under BKL
      protection, or with no protection at all.  This patch causes all f_flags
      changes after file open/creation time to be done under protection of
      f_lock.  This allows the removal of some BKL usage and fixes a number of
      longstanding (if microscopic) races.

      add a vfs_fsync helper · 4c728ef5
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call,
      and a mutex_lock/unlock of the inode mutex.  All callers of fsync have
      to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get
      it right.  This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this.
      It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file
      pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we
      want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there.
      
      Notes on the fsync callers:
      
       - ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the
         	lower file
       - coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host
      	file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing
       - shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor
         taking i_mutex.  Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk
         backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of
         the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just
         not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op
         simple_sync_file directly.
      
      [and now actually export vfs_fsync]
