      eCryptfs: Add reference counting to lower files · 332ab16f
      Tyler Hicks 提交于
      For any given lower inode, eCryptfs keeps only one lower file open and
      multiplexes all eCryptfs file operations through that lower file. The
      lower file was considered "persistent" and stayed open from the first
      lookup through the lifetime of the inode.
      
      This patch keeps the notion of a single, per-inode lower file, but adds
      reference counting around the lower file so that it is closed when not
      currently in use. If the reference count is at 0 when an operation (such
      as open, create, etc.) needs to use the lower file, a new lower file is
      opened. Since the file is no longer persistent, all references to the
      term persistent file are changed to lower file.
      
      Locking is added around the sections of code that opens the lower file
      and assign the pointer in the inode info, as well as the code the fputs
      the lower file when all eCryptfs users are done with it.
      
      This patch is needed to fix issues, when mounted on top of the NFSv3
      client, where the lower file is left silly renamed until the eCryptfs
      inode is destroyed.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      eCryptfs: Check for O_RDONLY lower inodes when opening lower files · ac22ba23
      Tyler Hicks 提交于
      If the lower inode is read-only, don't attempt to open the lower file
      read/write and don't hand off the open request to the privileged
      eCryptfs kthread for opening it read/write.  Instead, only try an
      unprivileged, read-only open of the file and give up if that fails.
      This patch fixes an oops when eCryptfs is mounted on top of a read-only
      mount.

      eCryptfs: Privileged kthread for lower file opens · 746f1e55
      Michael Halcrow 提交于
      eCryptfs would really like to have read-write access to all files in the
      lower filesystem.  Right now, the persistent lower file may be opened
      read-only if the attempt to open it read-write fails.  One way to keep
      from having to do that is to have a privileged kthread that can open the
      lower persistent file on behalf of the user opening the eCryptfs file;
      this patch implements this functionality.
      
      This patch will properly allow a less-privileged user to open the eCryptfs
      file, followed by a more-privileged user opening the eCryptfs file, with
      the first user only being able to read and the second user being able to
      both read and write.  eCryptfs currently does this wrong; it will wind up
      calling vfs_write() on a file that was opened read-only.  This is fixed in
      this patch.
