      sanitize xattr handler prototypes · 431547b3
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr
      handler methods.  This allows using the same methods for multiple
      handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action
      for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
      attribute.  With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
      methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
      jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.
      
      Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
      using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,
      e.g. cifs.

      ext3: avoid unnecessary spinlock in critical POSIX ACL path · 9c64daff
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      If a filesystem supports POSIX ACL's, the VFS layer expects the filesystem
      to do POSIX ACL checks on any files not owned by the caller, and it does
      this for every single pathname component that it looks up.
      
      That obviously can be pretty expensive if the filesystem isn't careful
      about it, especially with locking. That's doubly sad, since the common
      case tends to be that there are no ACL's associated with the files in
      question.
      
      ext3 already caches the ACL data so that it doesn't have to look it up
      over and over again, but it does so by taking the inode->i_lock spinlock
      on every lookup. Which is a noticeable overhead even if it's a private
      lock, especially on CPU's where the serialization is expensive (eg Intel
      Netburst aka 'P4').
      
      For the special case of not actually having any ACL's, all that locking is
      unnecessary. Even if somebody else were to be changing the ACL's on
      another CPU, we simply don't care - if we've seen a NULL ACL, we might as
      well use it.
      
      So just load the ACL speculatively without any locking, and if it was
      NULL, just use it. If it's non-NULL (either because we had a cached
      entry, or because the cache hasn't been filled in at all), it means that
      we'll need to get the lock and re-load it properly.
      
      This is noticeable even on Nehalem, which does locking quite well (much
      better than P4). From lmbench:
      
      	Processor, Processes - times in microseconds - smaller is better
      	--------------------------------------------------------------------
      	Host                 OS  Mhz null null      open slct fork exec sh
      	                             call  I/O stat clos TCP  proc proc proc

      where you can see what appears to be a roughly 3% improvement in stat
      and open/close latencies from just the removal of the locking overhead.
      
      Of course, this only matters for files you don't own (the owner never
      needs to do the ACL checks), but that's the common case for libraries,
      header files, and executables. As well as for the base components of any
      absolute pathname, even if you are the owner of the final file.
      
      [ At some point we probably want to move this ACL caching logic entirely
        into the VFS layer (and only call down to the filesystem when
        uncached), but in the meantime this improves ext3 a bit.
      
        A similar fix to btrfs makes a much bigger difference (15x improvement
        in lmbench) due to broken caching. ]

      Introduce is_owner_or_cap() to wrap CAP_FOWNER use with fsuid check · 3bd858ab
      Satyam Sharma 提交于
      Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant
      users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future
      where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a
      file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as
      well, thus violating its semantics.
      [ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ...
      untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ]
      
      The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and
      exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are
      covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations
      falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
