Yet another one in the namespace.c series. The code in graft_tree() used to be correct, but the code err = -ENOENT; down(&nd->dentry->d_inode->i_sem); if (IS_DEADDIR(nd->dentry->d_inode)) goto out_unlock; spin_lock(&dcache_lock); if (IS_ROOT(nd->dentry) || !d_unhashed(nd->dentry)) { ... } spin_unlock(&dcache_lock); out_unlock: was made incorrect in 2.5.29 when err = security_sb_check_sb(mnt, nd); if (err) goto out_unlock; was inserted. It has happened more often that people overlooked a preexisting setting of err.

From: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> This is a rework of John's recent change which resolved a circular include dependency: a function in mach_apic.h requires hard_smp_processor_id() and hard_smp_processor_id() requires macros from mach_apic.h So this patch (against bk-current) reverts the previous, and fixes the same circular dependency in a much cleaner way, by moving a piece of the circular chain into its own .h file, rather then removing hard_smp_processor_id() and accessing the apic by hand.

From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> Provides a separate request queue for each ramdisk instance. Without this, the kernel oopses when the block later tries to unregister the same set of kobject things multiple times. This makes rd.c consistent with all other "disk" devices.

From: Duncan Haldane <f.duncan.m.haldane@worldnet.att.net> Gerd Knorr noticed a small use of floating point math in the cpia driver updates for 2.5.x I sent you a while ago, and this is not allowed in the kernel. This was in some code taken essentially verbatim from the Windows cpia driver released under the GPL by STM inc. that had been incorporated in the later versions of the cpia drivera sourceforge. It turns out that the use of floating point was quite inessential, and I've reimplemented the couple of lines of code involved in integer arithmetic.

From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> de_thread is called by exec to kill all threads in the thread group except the threads required for exec. The waiting is implemented by waiting for a wakeup from __exit_signal: If the reference count is less or equal to 2, then the waiter is woken up. If exec is called by a non-leader thread, then two threads are required for exec. But if a thread group leader calls exec, then only one thread is required for exec. Thus the hardcoded "2" leads to a superfluous wakeup. The patch fixes that by adding a "notify_count" field to the signal structure.

From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> This patch makes vm_enough_memory(), more likely return failure when overcommit_memory==0 and !CAP_SYS_ADMIN. I'm not sure it's worth having another tunable just for this. I also reworked the documentation a bit. It should be a lot clearer to read now.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> This patch against 2.5.69-bk adds an xattr handler for security labels to devpts and corresponding hooks to the LSM API to support conversion between xattr values and the security labels stored in the inode security field by the security module. This allows userspace to get and set the security labels on devpts nodes, e.g. so that sshd can set the security label for the pty using setxattr, just as sshd already sets the ownership using chown. SELinux uses this support to protect the pty in accordance with the user process' security label. The changes to the LSM API are general and should be re-useable by xattr handlers in other pseudo filesystems to support similar security labeling. The xattr handler for devpts includes the same generic framework as in ext[23], so handlers for other kinds of attributes can be added easily in the future.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> This patch against 2.5.69-bk adds a hook to proc_pid_make_inode to allow security modules to set the security attributes on /proc/pid inodes based on the security attributes of the associated task. This is required by SELinux in order to control access to the process state accessible via /proc/pid inodes in accordance with the task's security label. An alternative approach that was considered was to implement an xattr handler for /proc/pid inodes. That approach would still require a hook call from the xattr handler to the security module to obtain an xattr value based on the task security attributes, so it would add a further level of indirection/translation. The only benefit of implementing an xattr handler for the /proc/pid inodes would be that the /proc/pid inode security labels could then be exported to userspace. However, the /proc/pid inode security labels are only used internally by the security module for access control purposes, and userspace access to the full range of process attributes is already provided via the /proc/pid/attr interface. Consequently, a simple hook in proc_pid_make_inode seemed preferable.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> This patch, relative to the /proc/pid/attr patch against 2.5.69, fixes the mode values of the /proc/pid/attr nodes to avoid interference by the normal Linux access checks for these nodes (and also fixes the /proc/pid/attr/prev mode to reflect its read-only nature). Otherwise, when the dumpable flag is cleared by a set[ug]id or unreadable executable, a process will lose the ability to set its own attributes via writes to /proc/pid/attr due to a DAC failure (/proc/pid inodes are assigned the root uid/gid if the task is not dumpable, and the original mode only permitted the owner to write). The security module should implement appropriate permission checking in its [gs]etprocattr hook functions. In the case of SELinux, the setprocattr hook function only allows a process to write to its own /proc/pid/attr nodes as well as imposing other policy-based restrictions, and the getprocattr hook function performs a permission check between the security labels of the current process and target process to determine whether the operation is permitted.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> This updated patch against 2.5.69 merges the readdir and lookup routines for proc_base and proc_attr, fixes the copy_to_user call in proc_attr_read and proc_info_read, moves the new data and code within CONFIG_SECURITY, and uses ARRAY_SIZE, per the comments from Al Viro and Andrew Morton. As before, this patch implements a process attribute API for security modules via a set of nodes in a /proc/pid/attr directory. Credit for the idea of implementing this API via /proc/pid/attr nodes goes to Al Viro. Jan Harkes provided a nice cleanup of the implementation to reduce the code bloat.

All slabs which can be reclaimed via VM presure are marked as being shrinkable, so the core slab code will keep count of their pages. Except for the one in XFS. It has strange wrapper stuff.

We have a problem at present in vm_enough_memory(): it uses smoke-n-mirrors to try to work out how much memory can be reclaimed from dcache and icache. it sometimes gets it quite wrong, especially if the slab has internal fragmentation. And it often does. So here we take a new approach. Rather than trying to work out how many pages are reclaimable by counting up the number of inodes and dentries, we change the slab allocator to keep count of how many pages are currently used by slabs which can be shrunk by the VM. The creator of the slab marks the slab as being reclaimable at kmem_cache_create()-time. Slab keeps a global counter of pages which are currently in use by thus-tagged slabs. Of course, we now slightly overestimate the amount of reclaimable memory, because not _all_ of the icache, dcache, mbcache and quota caches are reclaimable. But I think it's better to be a bit permissive rather than bogusly failing brk() calls as we do at present.

From: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> When an NFS request arrives, it contains a filehandle which needs to be converted to a dentry. Many filesystems use find_exported_dentry in fs/exportfs/expfs.c. A key part of this on filesystem where a 32bit inode number uniquely locates a file is export_iget which calls iget(sb, inum). iget will either: 1/ find the inode in the inode cache and return it or 2/ create a new inode and call ->read_inode to load it from the storage device. export_iget then verifies the inode is really a good inode (->read_inode didn't detect any problems) and the right inode (base on generation number from the file handle). For this to work reliably, it is important that whenever an inode is *not* in the cache, the on-device version is up-to-date. Otherwise, when read_inode loads the inode it will get bad data. For a file that has not been deleted, this condition always holds: a dirty inode is always flushed to disc before the inode is unhashed. However for a file that is being deleted this condition doesn't (didn't) hold. When iput -> iput_final -> generic_drop_inode -> generic_delete_inode is called we would unhash the inode before calling into the filesytem through ->delete_inode. So there is a small window between when generic_delete_inode unhashes the inode, and when ->delete_inode writes something to disc, where a call to ->read_inode (for export_iget) might discover what it thinks is a valid inode, but is really one that is in the process of being destroyed. It is this window that I want to close by moving the unhashing to the end of generic_delete_inode.

From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> There are a couple of places in the readdir code where it forgets to set the returned error code to -EFAULT, leaving it at the default -EINVAL. Fix that up, and rename getdents_callback64.count to "result", which makes more sense.

From zwane We shutdown the MAC part of the card and have interrupts disabled, interrupt gets queued, we reenable interrupts after shutting down device, service the interrupt, check status and get 0xff from powered down device. No idea what he's talking about here, but apparently the irq return handling isn't working out. Just return IRQ_HANDLED all the time.

From: Oleg Drokin <green@namesys.com> This is a forward port of 2.4's inode attributes support for reiserfs. Original implementation for 2.4 was performed by Nikita Danilov. In order to enable this support, one must use "attrs" mount options, eg: mount /dev/hda1 /mount/pont -t reiserfs -o attrs Also either the filesystem must have been created with a recent mkreiserfs or must have been modified by a recent version of reiserfsck with its "--clean-attributes" option. If that is not done, attributes support will not be enabled and a kernel message will be printed. This is necessary because old kernels left random garbage in the place where these attributes now live. These attributes are totally compatible with ext2's ones. You can manipulate them with chattr/lsattr etc. Additionally the chattr 'd' option may be used to disable tail packing on a specific file or a directory tree. (The 'd' option normally means "don't dump". reiserfs has overloaded it).

From: Zwane Mwaikambo <zwane@linuxpower.ca> kapmd does a conditional check in order to decide whether to set the task's cpu affinity mask. This can change during runtime, therefore we unconditionally set it. There is an early exit in set_cpus_allowed if the current processor is in the allowed mask anyway.

__unhash_process acquires the dcache_lock while holding the tasklist_lock for writing. This can deadlock. Additionally, fs/proc/base.c incorrectly assumed that p->pid would be set to 0 during release_task. The patch fixes that by adding a new spinlock to the task structure and fixing all references to (!p->pid). The alternative to the new spinlock would be to hold dcache_lock around __unhash_process. - fs/proc/base.c assumed that p->pid is reset to 0 during exit. This is not the case anymore. I now look at the count of the pid structure for PIDTYPE_PID. - de_thread now tested - as broken as it was before: open handles to /proc/<pid> are either stale or invalid after an exec of a nptl process, if the exec was call from a secondary thread. - a few lock_kernels removed - that part of /proc doesn't need it. - additional instances of 'if(current->pid)' replaced with pid_alive.
