In the common case where a name is much smaller than PATH_MAX, an extra allocation for struct filename is unnecessary. Before allocating a separate one, try to embed the struct filename inside the buffer first. If it turns out that that's not long enough, then fall back to allocating a separate struct filename and redoing the copy.

Currently, if we call getname() on a userland string more than once, we'll get multiple copies of the string and multiple audit_names records.

Jeff Layton authored
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Mikulas Patocka authored
Use the recently-added bio front_pad field to allocate struct dm_target_io. Prior to this patch, dm_target_io was allocated from a mempool. For each dm_target_io, there is exactly one bio allocated from a bioset. This patch merges these two allocations into one allocation: we create a bioset with front_pad equal to the size of dm_target_io so that every bio allocated from the bioset has sizeof(struct dm_target_io) bytes before it. We allocate a bio and use the bytes before the bio as dm_target_io. _tio_cache is removed and the tio_pool mempool is now only used for request-based devices. This idea was introduced by Kent Overstreet.

Support discards when the pool's block size is not a power of 2. The block layer assumes discard_granularity is a power of 2 (in blkdev_issue_discard), so we set this to the largest power of 2 that is a divides into the number of sectors in each block, but never less than DATA_DEV_BLOCK_SIZE_MIN_SECTORS. This patch eliminates the "Discard support must be disabled when the block size is not a power of 2" constraint that was imposed in commit 55f2b8bd ("dm thin: support for non power of 2 pool blocksize"). That commit was incomplete: using a block size that is not a power of 2 shouldn't mean disabling discard support on the device completely.

After commit e2446eaa ("tcp_v4_send_reset: binding oif to iif in no sock case").. tcp resets are always lost, when routing is asymmetric. Yes, backing out that patch will result in misrouting of resets for dead connections which used interface binding when were alive, but we actually cannot do anything here. What's died that's died and correct handling normal unbound connections is obviously a priority. Comment to comment: > This has few benefits: > 1. tcp_v6_send_reset already did that. It was done to route resets for IPv6 link local addresses. It was a mistake to do so for global addresses. The patch fixes this as well. Actually, the problem appears to be even more serious than guaranteed loss of resets. As reported by Sergey Soloviev <sol@eqv.ru>, those misrouted resets create a lot of arp traffic and huge amount of unresolved arp entires putting down to knees NAT firewalls which use asymmetric routing.
