      [NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious · cd40b7d3
      Denis V. Lunev 提交于
      This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious.
      This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
      netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced 
      asynchronious user -> kernel communication.
      
      The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
      netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
      user.
      
      Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
      and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
      pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
      may occur in the arbitrary process context.
      
      This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
      processing right in the netlink_unicast.
      
      Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.
      
      EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock
      drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully
      processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now.

      [NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlink · b4b51029
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace,
      this includes the controlling kernel sockets.
      
      This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols
      to only support the initial network namespace.  Request
      by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED.
      As they would if the kernel did not have the support for
      that netlink protocol compiled in.
      
      As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network
      namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets
      to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces.
      
      The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation
      at hash table insertion and hash table look up time.

      eCryptfs: fix lookup error for special files · df068464
      Ryusuke Konishi 提交于
      When ecryptfs_lookup() is called against special files, eCryptfs generates
      the following errors because it tries to treat them like regular eCryptfs
      files.
      
      Error opening lower file for lower_dentry [0xffff810233a6f150], lower_mnt [0xffff810235bb4c80], and flags [0x8000]
      Error opening lower_file to read header region
      Error attempting to read the [user.ecryptfs] xattr from the lower file; return value = [-95]
      Valid metadata not found in header region or xattr region; treating file as unencrypted
      
      For instance, the problem can be reproduced by the steps below.
      
        # mkdir /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
        # mount -t ecryptfs /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
        # mknod /mnt/crypt/c0 c 0 0
        # umount /mnt/crypt
        # mount -t ecryptfs /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
        # ls -l /mnt/crypt
      
      This patch fixes it by adding a check similar to directories and
      symlinks.

      Couple fixes to fs/ecryptfs/inode.c · c381bfcf
      Mika Kukkonen 提交于
      Following was uncovered by compiling the kernel with '-W' flag:
      
        CC [M]  fs/ecryptfs/inode.o
      fs/ecryptfs/inode.c: In function ‘ecryptfs_lookup’:
      fs/ecryptfs/inode.c:304: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false
      fs/ecryptfs/inode.c: In function ‘ecryptfs_symlink’:
      fs/ecryptfs/inode.c:486: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false
      
      Function ecryptfs_encode_filename() can return -ENOMEM, so change the
      variables to plain int, as in the first case the only real use actually
      expects int, and in latter case there is no use beoynd the error check.

      sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner · 7b595756
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
      deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
      so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
      often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
      accessing removed modules.
      
      This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
      this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
      backing module from being unloaded.
      
      For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
      following message.
