Currently error handling in dlm_request_join is a little obscure, so optimize it to promote readability. If packet.code is invalid, reset it to JOIN_DISALLOW to keep it meaningful. It only influences the log printing. Signed-off-by:

When running dirop_fileop_racer we found a case that inode can not removed. Two nodes, say Node A and Node B, mount the same ocfs2 volume. Create two dirs /race/1/ and /race/2/ in the filesystem. Node A Node B rm -r /race/2/ mv /race/1/ /race/2/ call ocfs2_unlink(), get the EX mode of /race/2/ wait for B unlock /race/2/ decrease i_nlink of /race/2/ to 0, and add inode of /race/2/ into orphan dir, unlock /race/2/ got EX mode of /race/2/. because /race/1/ is dir, so inc i_nlink of /race/2/ and update into disk, unlock /race/2/ because i_nlink of /race/2/ is not zero, this inode will always remain in orphan dir This patch fixes this case by test whether i_nlink of new dir is zero.

In ocfs2, ip_alloc_sem is used to protect allocation changes on the node. In direct IO, we add ip_alloc_sem to protect date consistent between direct-io and ocfs2_truncate_file race (buffer io use ip_alloc_sem already). Although inode->i_mutex lock is used to avoid concurrency of above situation, i think ip_alloc_sem is still needed because protect allocation changes is significant. Other filesystem like ext4 also uses rw_semaphore to protect data consistent between get_block-vs-truncate race by other means, So ip_alloc_sem in ocfs2 direct io is needed. Signed-off-by:

OCFS2 is often used in high-availaibility systems. However, ocfs2 converts the filesystem to read-only at the drop of the hat. This may not be necessary, since turning the filesystem read-only would affect other running processes as well, decreasing availability. This attempt is to add errors=continue, which would return the EIO to the calling process and terminate furhter processing so that the filesystem is not corrupted further. However, the filesystem is not converted to read-only. As a future plan, I intend to create a small utility or extend fsck.ocfs2 to fix small errors such as in the inode. The input to the utility such as the inode can come from the kernel logs so we don't have to schedule a downtime for fixing small-enough errors. The patch changes the ocfs2_error to return an error. The error returned depends on the mount option set. If none is set, the default is to turn the filesystem read-only. Perhaps errors=continue is not the best option name. Historically it is used for making an attempt to progress in the current process itself. Should we call it errors=eio? or errors=killproc? Suggestions/Comments welcome.

Disk inode deletion may be heavily delayed when one node unlink a file after the same dentry is freed on another node(say N1) because of memory shrink but inode is left in memory. This inode can only be freed while N1 doing the orphan scan work. However, N1 may skip orphan scan for several times because other nodes may do the work earlier. In our tests, it may take 1 hour on 4 nodes cluster and it hurts the user experience. So we think the inode should be freed after the data flushed to disk when i_count becomes zero to avoid such circumstances. Signed-off-by:

In ocfs2_rename, it will lead to an inode with two entried(old and new) if ocfs2_delete_entry(old) failed. Thus, filesystem will be inconsistent. The case is described below: ocfs2_rename -> ocfs2_start_trans -> ocfs2_add_entry(new) -> ocfs2_delete_entry(old) -> __ocfs2_journal_access *failed* because of -ENOMEM -> ocfs2_commit_trans So filesystem should be set to read-only at the moment.

fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() is subtle to use because it temporarily releases group->mark_mutex. To avoid future problems with this function, split it into two. fsnotify_detach_mark() is the part that needs group->mark_mutex and fsnotify_free_mark() is the part that must be called outside of group->mark_mutex. This way it's much clearer what's going on and we also avoid some pointless acquisitions of group->mark_mutex. Signed-off-by:

I have a _tiny_ microbenchmark that sits in a loop and writes single bytes to a file. Writing one byte to a tmpfs file is around 2x slower than reading one byte from a file, which is a _bit_ more than I expecte. This is a dumb benchmark, but I think it's hard to deny that write() is a hot path and we should avoid unnecessary overhead there. I did a 'perf record' of 30-second samples of read and write. The top item in a diffprofile is srcu_read_lock() from fsnotify(). There are active inotify fd's from systemd, but nothing is actually listening to the file or its part of the filesystem. I *think* we can avoid taking the srcu_read_lock() for the common case where there are no actual marks on the file. This means that there will both be nothing to notify for *and* implies that there is no need for clearing the ignore mask. This patch gave a 13.1% speedup in writes/second on my test, which is an improvement from the 10.8% that I saw with the last version. Signed-off-by:

Architectures which support VGA console must define screen_info structurture from "uapi/linux/screen_info.h". Otherwise undefined symbol error occurs. Usually it's defined in "setup.c" for each architecture. If an architecture does not support VGA console (ARC's case) there are 2 ways: define a dummy instance of screen_info or add a negative dependency for VGA_CONSOLE in to prevent selecting this option. I've implemented the second way. However the best solution is to add HAVE_VGA_CONSOLE option for targets which support VGA console. Then turn off VGA_CONSOLE by default and add dependency to HAVE_VGA_CONSOLE. But right now it's better to just add a negative dependency for ARC and then consider how to collaborate about this issue with maintainers of other architectures. Signed-off-by:

Credit where credit is due: this idea comes from Christoph Lameter with a lot of valuable input from Serge Hallyn. This patch is heavily based on Christoph's patch. ===== The status quo ===== On Linux, there are a number of capabilities defined by the kernel. To perform various privileged tasks, processes can wield capabilities that they hold. Each task has four capability masks: effective (pE), permitted (pP), inheritable (pI), and a bounding set (X). When the kernel checks for a capability, it checks pE. The other capability masks serve to modify what capabilities can be in pE. Any task can remove capabilities from pE, pP, or pI at any time. If a task has a capability in pP, it can add that capability to pE and/or pI. If a task has CAP_SETPCAP, then it can add any capability to pI, and it can remove capabilities from X. Tasks are not the only things that can have capabilities; files can also have capabilities. A file can have no capabilty information at all [1]. If a file has capability information, then it has a permitted mask (fP) and an inheritable mask (fI) as well as a single effective bit (fE) [2]. File capabilities modify the capabilities of tasks that execve(2) them. A task that successfully calls execve has its capabilities modified for the file ultimately being excecuted (i.e. the binary itself if that binary is ELF or for the interpreter if the binary is a script.) [3] In the capability evolution rules, for each mask Z, pZ represents the old value and pZ' represents the new value. The rules are: pP' = (X & fP) | (pI & fI) pI' = pI pE' = (fE ? pP' : 0) X is unchanged For setuid binaries, fP, fI, and fE are modified by a moderately complicated set of rules that emulate POSIX behavior. Similarly, if euid == 0 or ruid == 0, then fP, fI, and fE are modified differently (primary, fP and fI usually end up being the full set). For nonroot users executing binaries with neither setuid nor file caps, fI and fP are empty and fE is false. As an extra complication, if you execute a process as nonroot and fE is set, then the "secure exec" rules are in effect: AT_SECURE gets set, LD_PRELOAD doesn't work, etc. This is rather messy. We've learned that making any changes is dangerous, though: if a new kernel version allows an unprivileged program to change its security state in a way that persists cross execution of a setuid program or a program with file caps, this persistent state is surprisingly likely to allow setuid or file-capped programs to be exploited for privilege escalation. ===== The problem ===== Capability inheritance is basically useless. If you aren't root and you execute an ordinary binary, fI is zero, so your capabilities have no effect whatsoever on pP'. This means that you can't usefully execute a helper process or a shell command with elevated capabilities if you aren't root. On current kernels, you can sort of work around this by setting fI to the full set for most or all non-setuid executable files. This causes pP' = pI for nonroot, and inheritance works. No one does this because it's a PITA and it isn't even supported on most filesystems. If you try this, you'll discover that every nonroot program ends up with secure exec rules, breaking many things. This is a problem that has bitten many people who have tried to use capabilities for anything useful. ===== The proposed change ===== This patch adds a fifth capability mask called the ambient mask (pA). pA does what most people expect pI to do. pA obeys the invariant that no bit can ever be set in pA if it is not set in both pP and pI. Dropping a bit from pP or pI drops that bit from pA. This ensures that existing programs that try to drop capabilities still do so, with a complication. Because capability inheritance is so broken, setting KEEPCAPS, using setresuid to switch to nonroot uids, and then calling execve effectively drops capabilities. Therefore, setresuid from root to nonroot conditionally clears pA unless SECBIT_NO_SETUID_FIXUP is set. Processes that don't like this can re-add bits to pA afterwards. The capability evolution rules are changed: pA' = (file caps or setuid or setgid ? 0 : pA) pP' = (X & fP) | (pI & fI) | pA' pI' = pI pE' = (fE ? pP' : pA') X is unchanged If you are nonroot but you have a capability, you can add it to pA. If you do so, your children get that capability in pA, pP, and pE. For example, you can set pA = CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE, and your children can automatically bind low-numbered ports. Hallelujah! Unprivileged users can create user namespaces, map themselves to a nonzero uid, and create both privileged (relative to their namespace) and unprivileged process trees. This is currently more or less impossible. Hallelujah! You cannot use pA to try to subvert a setuid, setgid, or file-capped program: if you execute any such program, pA gets cleared and the resulting evolution rules are unchanged by this patch. Users with nonzero pA are unlikely to unintentionally leak that capability. If they run programs that try to drop privileges, dropping privileges will still work. It's worth noting that the degree of paranoia in this patch could possibly be reduced without causing serious problems. Specifically, if we allowed pA to persist across executing non-pA-aware setuid binaries and across setresuid, then, naively, the only capabilities that could leak as a result would be the capabilities in pA, and any attacker *already* has those capabilities. This would make me nervous, though -- setuid binaries that tried to privilege-separate might fail to do so, and putting CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH or CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE into pA could have unexpected side effects. (Whether these unexpected side effects would be exploitable is an open question.) I've therefore taken the more paranoid route. We can revisit this later. An alternative would be to require PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS before setting ambient capabilities. I think that this would be annoying and would make granting otherwise unprivileged users minor ambient capabilities (CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE or CAP_NET_RAW for example) much less useful than it is with this patch. ===== Footnotes ===== [1] Files that are missing the "security.capability" xattr or that have unrecognized values for that xattr end up with has_cap set to false. The code that does that appears to be complicated for no good reason. [2] The libcap capability mask parsers and formatters are dangerously misleading and the documentation is flat-out wrong. fE is *not* a mask; it's a single bit. This has probably confused every single person who has tried to use file capabilities. [3] Linux very confusingly processes both the script and the interpreter if applicable, for reasons that elude me. The results from thinking about a script's file capabilities and/or setuid bits are mostly discarded. Preliminary userspace code is here, but it needs updating: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/luto/util-linux-playground.git/commit/?h=cap_ambient&id=7f5afbd175d2 Here is a test program that can be used to verify the functionality (from Christoph): /* * Test program for the ambient capabilities.

The current register_mem_sect_under_node() assume first section is present, but memory block section number range [start_section_nr, end_section_nr] would include not present section. For arch that support vmemmap, we don't setup memmap for struct page area within not present sections area. So skip the pfn range that belong to absent section.

ocfs2_file_write_iter() is usng the wrong return value ('written'). This will cause ocfs2_rw_unlock() be called both in write_iter & end_io, triggering a BUG_ON. This issue was introduced by commit 7da839c4 ("ocfs2: use __generic_file_write_iter()").

Commit f9126ab9 ("memory-hotplug: fix wrong edge when hot add a new node") hot-added memory range to memblock, after creating pgdat for new node. But there is a problem: add_memory() |--> hotadd_new_pgdat() |--> free_area_init_node() |--> get_pfn_range_for_nid() |--> find start_pfn and end_pfn in memblock |--> ...... |--> memblock_add_node(start, size, nid) -------- Here, just too late. get_pfn_range_for_nid() will find that start_pfn and end_pfn are both 0. As a result, when adding memory, dmesg will give the following wrong message. Initmem setup node 5 [mem 0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff] On node 5 totalpages: 0 Built 5 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 32588823 Policy zone: Normal init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x60000000000-0x607ffffffff] The solution is simple, just add the memory range to memblock a little earlier, before hotadd_new_pgdat().
