2020-03-25zonfs: Fix handling of read-only zonesDamien Le Moal1-5/+13
The write pointer of zones in the read-only consition is defined as invalid by the SCSI ZBC and ATA ZAC specifications. It is thus not possible to determine the correct size of a read-only zone file on mount. Fix this by handling read-only zones in the same manner as offline zones by disabling all accesses to the zone (read and write) and initializing the inode size of the read-only zone to 0). For zones found to be in the read-only condition at runtime, only disable write access to the zone and keep the size of the zone file to its last updated value to allow the user to recover previously written data. Also fix zonefs documentation file to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@wdc.com> Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn <johannes.thumshirn@wdc.com>

2020-03-20docs: prevent warnings due to autosectionlabelMauro Carvalho Chehab1-6/+5
Changeset 58ad30cf91f0 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst") enabled a new feature at Sphinx: it will now generate index for each document title, plus to each chapter inside it. There's a drawback, though: one document cannot have two sections with the same name anymore. A followup patch will change the logic of autosectionlabel to avoid most creating references for every single section title, but still we need to be able to reference the chapters inside a document. There are a few places where there are two chapters with the same name. This patch renames one of the chapters, in order to avoid symbol conflict within the same document. PS.: as I don't speach Chinese, I had some help from a friend (Wen Liu) at the Chinese translation for "publishing patches" for this document: Documentation/translations/zh_CN/process/5.Posting.rst Fixes: 58ad30cf91f0 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst") Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/2bffb91e4a63d41bf5fae1c23e1e8b3bba0b8806.1584716446.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2020-03-19fscrypt: add FS_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_NONCE ioctlEric Biggers1-0/+11
Add an ioctl FS_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_NONCE which retrieves the nonce from an encrypted file or directory. The nonce is the 16-byte random value stored in the inode's encryption xattr. It is normally used together with the master key to derive the inode's actual encryption key. The nonces are needed by automated tests that verify the correctness of the ciphertext on-disk. Except for the IV_INO_LBLK_64 case, there's no way to replicate a file's ciphertext without knowing that file's nonce. The nonces aren't secret, and the existing ciphertext verification tests in xfstests retrieve them from disk using debugfs or dump.f2fs. But in environments that lack these debugging tools, getting the nonces by manually parsing the filesystem structure would be very hard. To make this important type of testing much easier, let's just add an ioctl that retrieves the nonce.

2020-03-13sanitize handling of nd->last_type, kill LAST_BINDAl Viro1-5/+2
->last_type values are set in 3 places: path_init() (sets to LAST_ROOT), link_path_walk (LAST_NORM/DOT/DOTDOT) and pick_link (LAST_BIND). The are checked in walk_component(), lookup_last() and do_last(). They also get copied to the caller by filename_parentat(). In the last 3 cases the value is what we had at the return from link_path_walk(). In case of walk_component() it's either directly downstream from assignment in link_path_walk() or, when called by lookup_last(), the value we have at the return from link_path_walk(). The value at the entry into link_path_walk() can survive to return only if the pathname contains nothing but slashes. Note that pick_link() never returns such - pure jumps are handled directly. So for the calls of link_path_walk() for trailing symlinks it does not matter what value had been there at the entry; the value at the return won't depend upon it. There are 3 call chains that might have pick_link() storing LAST_BIND: 1) pick_link() from step_into() from walk_component() from link_path_walk(). In that case we will either be parsing the next component immediately after return into link_path_walk(), which will overwrite the ->last_type before anyone has a chance to look at it, or we'll fail, in which case nobody will be looking at ->last_type at all. 2) pick_link() from step_into() from walk_component() from lookup_last(). The value is never looked at due to the above; it won't affect the value seen at return from any link_path_walk(). 3) pick_link() from step_into() from do_last(). Ditto. In other words, assignemnt in pick_link() is pointless, and so is LAST_BIND itself; nothing ever looks at that value. Kill it off. And make link_path_walk() _always_ assign ->last_type - in the only case when the value at the entry might survive to the return that value is always LAST_ROOT, inherited from path_init(). Move that assignment from path_init() into the beginning of link_path_walk(), to consolidate the things. Historical note: LAST_BIND used to be used for the kludge with trailing pure jump symlinks (extra iteration through the top-level loop). No point keeping it anymore...

several iterations of ->atomic_open() calling conventions ago, we used to need fput() if ->atomic_open() failed at some point after successful finish_open(). Now (since 2016) it's not needed - struct file carries enough state to make fput() work regardless of the point in struct file lifecycle and discarding it on failure exits in open() got unified. Unfortunately, I'd missed the fact that we had an instance of ->atomic_open() (cifs one) that used to need that fput(), as well as the stale comment in finish_open() demanding such late failure handling. Trivially fixed... Fixes: fe9ec8291fca "do_last(): take fput() on error after opening to out:" Cc: stable@kernel.org # v4.7+ Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
