2016-05-27switch ->setxattr() to passing dentry and inode separatelyAl Viro1-0/+7
smack ->d_instantiate() uses ->setxattr(), so to be able to call it before we'd hashed the new dentry and attached it to inode, we need ->setxattr() instances getting the inode as an explicit argument rather than obtaining it from dentry. Similar change for ->getxattr() had been done in commit ce23e64. Unlike ->getxattr() (which is used by both selinux and smack instances of ->d_instantiate()) ->setxattr() is used only by smack one and unfortunately it got missed back then.

2016-05-20procfs: expose umask in /proc/<PID>/statusRichard W.M. Jones1-0/+1
It's not possible to read the process umask without also modifying it, which is what umask(2) does. A library cannot read umask safely, especially if the main program might be multithreaded. Add a new status line ("Umask") in /proc/<PID>/status. It contains the file mode creation mask (umask) in octal. It is only shown for tasks which have task->fs. This patch is adapted from one originally written by Pierre Carrier. The use case is that we have endless trouble with people setting weird umask() values (usually on the grounds of "security"), and then everything breaking. I'm on the hook to fix these. We'd like to add debugging to our program so we can dump out the umask in debug reports. Previous versions of the patch used a syscall so you could only read your own umask. That's all I need. However there was quite a lot of push-back from those, so this new version exports it in /proc.

2016-05-18dax: for truncate/hole-punch, do zeroing through the driver if possibleVishal Verma1-0/+32
In the truncate or hole-punch path in dax, we clear out sub-page ranges. If these sub-page ranges are sector aligned and sized, we can do the zeroing through the driver instead so that error-clearing is handled automatically. For sub-sector ranges, we still have to rely on clear_pmem and have the possibility of tripping over errors.

2016-05-02parallel lookups: actual switch to rwsemAl Viro1-0/+18

2016-05-02parallel lookups machinery, part 2Al Viro1-0/+8
We'll need to verify that there's neither a hashed nor in-lookup dentry with desired parent/name before adding to in-lookup set. One possible solution would be to hold the parent's ->d_lock through both checks, but while the in-lookup set is relatively small at any time, dcache is not. And holding the parent's ->d_lock through something like __d_lookup_rcu() would suck too badly. So we leave the parent's ->d_lock alone, which means that we watch out for the following scenario: * we verify that there's no hashed match * existing in-lookup match gets hashed by another process * we verify that there's no in-lookup matches and decide that everything's fine. Solution: per-directory kinda-sorta seqlock, bumped around the times we hash something that used to be in-lookup or move (and hash) something in place of in-lookup. Then the above would turn into * read the counter * do dcache lookup * if no matches found, check for in-lookup matches * if there had been none of those either, check if the counter has changed; repeat if it has. The "kinda-sorta" part is due to the fact that we don't have much spare space in inode. There is a spare word (shared with i_bdev/i_cdev/i_pipe), so the counter part is not a problem, but spinlock is a different story. We could use the parent's ->d_lock, and it would be less painful in terms of contention, for __d_add() it would be rather inconvenient to grab; we could do that (using lock_parent()), but... Fortunately, we can get serialization on the counter itself, and it might be a good idea in general; we can use cmpxchg() in a loop to get from even to odd and smp_store_release() from odd to even. This commit adds the counter and updating logics; the readers will be added in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2016-03-22fat: add config option to set UTF-8 mount option by defaultMaciej S. Szmigiero1-3/+4
FAT has long supported its own default file name encoding config setting, separate from CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT. However, if UTF-8 encoded file names are desired FAT character set should not be set to utf8 since this would make file names case sensitive even if case insensitive matching is requested. Instead, "utf8" mount options should be provided to enable UTF-8 file names in FAT file system. Unfortunately, there was no possibility to set the default value of this option so on UTF-8 system "utf8" mount option had to be added manually to most FAT mounts. This patch adds config option to set such default value. Signed-off-by: Maciej S.

2016-03-22ocfs2: add feature document for online file checkGang He1-0/+94
This document will describe OCFS2 online file check feature. OCFS2 is often used in high-availaibility systems. However, OCFS2 usually converts the filesystem to read-only when encounters an error. This may not be necessary, since turning the filesystem read-only would affect other running processes as well, decreasing availability. Then, a mount option (errors=continue) is introduced, which would return the -EIO errno to the calling process and terminate furhter processing so that the filesystem is not corrupted further. The filesystem is not converted to read-only, and the problematic file's inode number is reported in the kernel log. The user can try to check/fix this file via online filecheck feature.

This patch provides a proc/PID/timerslack_ns interface which exposes a task's timerslack value in nanoseconds and allows it to be changed. This allows power/performance management software to set timer slack for other threads according to its policy for the thread (such as when the thread is designated foreground vs. background activity) If the value written is non-zero, slack is set to that value. Otherwise sets it to the default for the thread. This interface checks that the calling task has permissions to to use PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS on the target task, so that we can ensure arbitrary apps do not change the timer slack for other apps.

2016-03-07TTY, devpts: document pty count limitingKonstantin Khlebnikov1-0/+9
Logic has been changed in kernel 3.4 by commit e9aba5158a80 ("tty: rework pty count limiting") but still not documented. Sysctl kernel.pty.max works as global limit, kernel.pty.reserve ptys are reserved for initial devpts instance (mounted without "newinstance"). Per-instance limit also could be set by mount option "max=%d". Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2016-03-06configfs: switch ->default groups to a linked listChristoph Hellwig1-5/+6
Replace the current NULL-terminated array of default groups with a linked list. This gets rid of lots of nasty code to size and/or dynamically allocate the array. While we're at it also provide a conveniant helper to remove the default groups.

2016-02-12btrfs: Introduce new mount option to disable tree log replayQu Wenruo1-0/+8
Introduce a new mount option "nologreplay" to co-operate with "ro" mount option to get real readonly mount, like "norecovery" in ext* and xfs. Since the new parse_options() need to check new flags at remount time, so add a new parameter for parse_options().

2016-02-12btrfs: Introduce new mount option usebackuproot to replace recoveryQu Wenruo1-3/+8
Current "recovery" mount option will only try to use backup root. However the word "recovery" is too generic and may be confusing for some users. Here introduce a new and more specific mount option, "usebackuproot" to replace "recovery" mount option. "Recovery" will be kept for compatibility reason, but will be deprecated. Also, since "usebackuproot" will only affect mount behavior and after open_ctree() it has nothing to do with the filesystem, so clear the flag after mount succeeded. This provides the basis for later unified "norecovery" mount option.

2016-02-10efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by defaultPeter Jones1-0/+7
"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required to POST the hardware. These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines. We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

2016-02-03proc: revert /proc/<pid>/maps [stack:TID] annotationJohannes Weiner1-6/+3
Commit b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps") added [stack:TID] annotation to /proc/<pid>/maps. Finding the task of a stack VMA requires walking the entire thread list, turning this into quadratic behavior: a thousand threads means a thousand stacks, so the rendering of /proc/<pid>/maps needs to look at a million combinations. The cost is not in proportion to the usefulness as described in the patch. Drop the [stack:TID] annotation to make /proc/<pid>/maps (and /proc/<pid>/numa_maps) usable again for higher thread counts. The [stack] annotation inside /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps is retained, as identifying the stack VMA there is an O(1) operation. Siddesh said: "The end users needed a way to identify thread stacks programmatically and there wasn't a way to do that. I'm afraid I no longer remember (or have access to the resources that would aid my memory since I changed employers) the details of their requirement. However, I did do this on my own time because I thought it was an interesting project for me and nobody really gave any feedback then as to its utility, so as far as I am concerned you could roll back the main thread maps information since the information is available in the thread-specific files" Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: "Kirill A.

2016-01-14mm, procfs: breakdown RSS for anon, shmem and file in /proc/pid/statusJerome Marchand1-2/+11
There are several shortcomings with the accounting of shared memory (SysV shm, shared anonymous mapping, mapping of a tmpfs file). The values in /proc/<pid>/status and <...>/statm don't allow to distinguish between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though theirs implication on memory usage are quite different: during reclaim, file mapping can be dropped or written back on disk, while shmem needs a place in swap. Also, to distinguish the memory occupied by anonymous and file mappings, one has to read the /proc/pid/statm file, which has a field for the file mappings (again, including shmem) and total memory occupied by these mappings (i.e. equivalent to VmRSS in the <...>/status file. Getting the value for anonymous mappings only is thus not exactly user-friendly (the statm file is intended to be rather efficiently machine-readable). To address both of these shortcomings, this patch adds a breakdown of VmRSS in /proc/<pid>/status via new fields RssAnon, RssFile and RssShmem, making use of the previous preparatory patch. These fields tell the user the memory occupied by private anonymous pages, mapped regular files and shmem, respectively. Other existing fields in /status and /statm files are left without change. The /statm file can be extended in the future, if there's a need for that. Example (part of) /proc/pid/status output including the new Rss* fields: VmPeak: 2001008 kB VmSize: 2001004 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmPin: 0 kB VmHWM: 5108 kB VmRSS: 5108 kB RssAnon: 92 kB RssFile: 1324 kB RssShmem: 3692 kB VmData: 192 kB VmStk: 136 kB VmExe: 4 kB VmLib: 1784 kB VmPTE: 3928 kB VmPMD: 20 kB VmSwap: 0 kB HugetlbPages: 0 kB [vbabka@suse.cz: forward-porting, tweak changelog] Signed-off-by: Jerome Marchand <jmarchan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
