Update the metadata read/write functions and grow_file() to use the read_write.c routines. Do not open another lower file; use the persistent lower file instead. Provide a separate function for crypto.c::ecryptfs_read_xattr_region() to get to the lower xattr without having to go through the eCryptfs getxattr.

Add a set of functions through which all I/O to lower files is consolidated. This patch adds a new inode_info reference to a persistent lower file for each eCryptfs inode; another patch later in this series will set that up. This persistent lower file is what the read_write.c functions use to call vfs_read() and vfs_write() on the lower filesystem, so even when reads and writes come in through aops->readpage and aops->writepage, we can satisfy them without resorting to direct access to the lower inode's address space. Several function declarations are going to be changing with this patchset. For now, in order to keep from breaking the build, I am putting dummy parameters in for those functions.

eCryptfs is currently just passing through splice reads to the lower filesystem. This is obviously incorrect behavior; the decrypted data is what needs to be read, not the lower encrypted data. I cannot think of any good reason for eCryptfs to implement splice_read, so this patch points the eCryptfs fops splice_read to use generic_file_splice_read.

Fix up the Tag 11 writing code to handle size limits and boundaries more explicitly. It looks like the packet length was 1 shorter than it should have been, chopping off the last byte of the key identifier. This is largely inconsequential, since it is not much more likely that a key identifier collision will occur with 7 bytes rather than 8.

Add support structures for handling multiple keys. The list in crypt_stat contains the key identifiers for all of the keys that should be used for encrypting each file's File Encryption Key (FEK). For now, each inode inherits this list from the mount-wide crypt_stat struct, via the ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_sigs_to_inode_sigs() function. This patch also removes the global key tfm from the mount-wide crypt_stat struct, instead keeping a list of tfm's meant for dealing with the various inode FEK's. eCryptfs will now search the user's keyring for FEK's parsed from the existing file metadata, so the user can make keys available at any time before or after mounting. Now that multiple FEK packets can be written to the file metadata, we need to be more meticulous about size limits. The updates to the code for writing out packets to the file metadata makes sizes and limits more explicit, uniformly expressed, and (hopefully) easier to follow.

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. Signed-off-by: NDenis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Acked-by: NAlexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

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.
