SYNOPSIS size[4] Tlcreate tag[2] fid[4] name[s] flags[4] mode[4] gid[4] size[4] Rlcreate tag[2] qid[13] iounit[4] DESCRIPTION The Tlreate request asks the file server to create a new regular file with the name supplied, in the directory (dir) represented by fid. The mode argument specifies the permissions to use. New file is created with the uid if the fid and with supplied gid. The flags argument represent Linux access mode flags with which the caller is requesting to open the file with. Protocol allows all the Linux access modes but it is upto the server to allow/disallow any of these acess modes. If the server doesn't support any of the access mode, it is expected to return error.

SYNOPSIS size[4] Tsetattr tag[2] attr[n] size[4] Rsetattr tag[2] DESCRIPTION The setattr command changes some of the file status information. attr resembles the iattr structure used in Linux kernel. It specifies which status parameter is to be changed and to what value. It is laid out as follows: valid[4] specifies which status information is to be changed. Possible values are: ATTR_MODE (1 << 0) ATTR_UID (1 << 1) ATTR_GID (1 << 2) ATTR_SIZE (1 << 3) ATTR_ATIME (1 << 4) ATTR_MTIME (1 << 5) ATTR_ATIME_SET (1 << 7) ATTR_MTIME_SET (1 << 8) The last two bits represent whether the time information is being sent by the client's user space. In the absense of these bits the server always uses server's time. mode[4] File permission bits uid[4] Owner id of file gid[4] Group id of the file size[8] File size atime_sec[8] Time of last file access, seconds atime_nsec[8] Time of last file access, nanoseconds mtime_sec[8] Time of last file modification, seconds mtime_nsec[8] Time of last file modification, nanoseconds Explanation of the patches: -------------------------- *) The kernel just copies relevent contents of iattr structure to p9_iattr_dotl structure and passes it down to the client. The only check it has is calling inode_change_ok() *) The p9_iattr_dotl structure does not have ctime and ia_file parameters because I don't think these are needed in our case. The client user space can request updating just ctime by calling chown(fd, -1, -1). This is handled on server side without a need for putting ctime on the wire. *) The server currently supports changing mode, time, ownership and size of the file. *) 9P RFC says "Either all the changes in wstat request happen, or none of them does: if the request succeeds, all changes were made; if it fails, none were." I have not done anything to implement this specifically because I don't see a reason. Signed-off-by: -

SYNOPSIS size[4] Tgetattr tag[2] fid[4] request_mask[8] size[4] Rgetattr tag[2] lstat[n] DESCRIPTION The getattr transaction inquires about the file identified by fid. request_mask is a bit mask that specifies which fields of the stat structure is the client interested in. The reply will contain a machine-independent directory entry, laid out as follows: st_result_mask[8] Bit mask that indicates which fields in the stat structure have been populated by the server qid.type[1] the type of the file (directory, etc.), represented as a bit vector corresponding to the high 8 bits of the file's mode word. qid.vers[4] version number for given path qid.path[8] the file server's unique identification for the file st_mode[4] Permission and flags st_uid[4] User id of owner st_gid[4] Group ID of owner st_nlink[8] Number of hard links st_rdev[8] Device ID (if special file) st_size[8] Size, in bytes st_blksize[8] Block size for file system IO st_blocks[8] Number of file system blocks allocated st_atime_sec[8] Time of last access, seconds st_atime_nsec[8] Time of last access, nanoseconds st_mtime_sec[8] Time of last modification, seconds st_mtime_nsec[8] Time of last modification, nanoseconds st_ctime_sec[8] Time of last status change, seconds st_ctime_nsec[8] Time of last status change, nanoseconds st_btime_sec[8] Time of creation (birth) of file, seconds st_btime_nsec[8] Time of creation (birth) of file, nanoseconds st_gen[8] Inode generation st_data_version[8] Data version number request_mask and result_mask bit masks contain the following bits #define P9_STATS_MODE 0x00000001ULL #define P9_STATS_NLINK 0x00000002ULL #define P9_STATS_UID 0x00000004ULL #define P9_STATS_GID 0x00000008ULL #define P9_STATS_RDEV 0x00000010ULL #define P9_STATS_ATIME 0x00000020ULL #define P9_STATS_MTIME 0x00000040ULL #define P9_STATS_CTIME 0x00000080ULL #define P9_STATS_INO 0x00000100ULL #define P9_STATS_SIZE 0x00000200ULL #define P9_STATS_BLOCKS 0x00000400ULL #define P9_STATS_BTIME 0x00000800ULL #define P9_STATS_GEN 0x00001000ULL #define P9_STATS_DATA_VERSION 0x00002000ULL #define P9_STATS_BASIC 0x000007ffULL #define P9_STATS_ALL 0x00003fffULL This patch implements the client side of getattr implementation for 9P2000.L. It introduces a new structure p9_stat_dotl for getting Linux stat information along with QID. The data layout is similar to stat structure in Linux user space with the following major differences: inode (st_ino) is not part of data. Instead qid is. device (st_dev) is not part of data because this doesn't make sense on the client. All time variables are 64 bit wide on the wire. The kernel seems to use 32 bit variables for these variables. However, some of the architectures have used 64 bit variables and glibc exposes 64 bit variables to user space on some architectures. Hence to be on the safer side we have made these 64 bit in the protocol. Refer to the comments in include/asm-generic/stat.h There are some additional fields: st_btime_sec, st_btime_nsec, st_gen, st_data_version apart from the bitmask, st_result_mask. The bit mask is filled by the server to indicate which stat fields have been populated by the server. Currently there is no clean way for the server to obtain these additional fields, so it sends back just the basic fields. Signed-off-by: -

This patch implements the kernel part of readdir() implementation for 9p2000.L Change from V3: Instead of inode, server now sends qids for each dirent SYNOPSIS size[4] Treaddir tag[2] fid[4] offset[8] count[4] size[4] Rreaddir tag[2] count[4] data[count] DESCRIPTION The readdir request asks the server to read the directory specified by 'fid' at an offset specified by 'offset' and return as many dirent structures as possible that fit into count bytes. Each dirent structure is laid out as follows. qid.type[1] the type of the file (directory, etc.), represented as a bit vector corresponding to the high 8 bits of the file's mode word. qid.vers[4] version number for given path qid.path[8] the file server's unique identification for the file offset[8] offset into the next dirent. type[1] type of this directory entry. name[256] name of this directory entry. This patch adds v9fs_dir_readdir_dotl() as the readdir() call for 9p2000.L. This function sends P9_TREADDIR command to the server. In response the server sends a buffer filled with dirent structures. This is different from the existing v9fs_dir_readdir() call which receives stat structures from the server. This results in significant speedup of readdir() on large directories. For example, doing 'ls >/dev/null' on a directory with 10000 files on my laptop takes 1.088 seconds with the existing code, but only takes 0.339 seconds with the new readdir. Signed-off-by: -

Debian's ia64 autobuilders have been seeing kernel freeze or reboot when running the gdb testsuite (Debian bug 588574): dannf bisected to 2.6.32 62eede62 "mm: ZERO_PAGE without PTE_SPECIAL"; and reproduced it with gdb's gcore on a simple target. I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page), yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer. Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change, but let's not risk it without testing exposure. Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages? Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages. Reported-by:

smp_processor_id() must not be called from a preemptible context (this is checked by CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT). kmap_high_l1_vipt() was doing so. This lead to a problem where the wrong per_cpu kmap_high_l1_vipt_depth could be incremented, causing a BUG_ON(*depth <= 0); in kunmap_high_l1_vipt(). The solution is to move the call to smp_processor_id() after the call to preempt_disable(). Originally by: Andrew Howe <ahowe@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by:

In root_nfs_name() it does the following: if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) > NFS_MAXPATHLEN) { printk(KERN_ERR "Root-NFS: Pathname for remote directory too long.\n"); return -1; } sprintf(nfs_export_path, buf, cp); In the original code if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) == NFS_MAXPATHLEN) then the sprintf() would lead to an overflow. Generally the rest of the code assumes that the path can have NFS_MAXPATHLEN (1024) characters and a NUL terminator so the fix is to add space to the nfs_export_path[] buffer. Signed-off-by:

Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation condition: lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held() as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held. Instead, add the following validation condition: task->exit_state >= 0 to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change its own credentials. Fix __task_cred()'s comment to: (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task from being deleted. That shouldn't need saying. (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used instead. Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too. Signed-off-by:Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the task being accessed. What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds(): TASK_1 TASK_2 RCU_CLEANER -->get_task_cred(TASK_2) rcu_read_lock() __cred = __task_cred(TASK_2) -->commit_creds() old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred TASK_2->real_cred = ... put_cred(old_cred) call_rcu(old_cred) [__cred->usage == 0] get_cred(__cred) [__cred->usage == 1] rcu_read_unlock() -->put_cred_rcu() [__cred->usage == 1] panic() However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero. If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU cleanup code. We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the same problem. Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be, for example: kernel BUG at kernel/cred.c:168! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run CPU 0 Pid: 2436, comm: master Not tainted 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64 #1 0HR330/OptiPlex 745 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81069881>] [<ffffffff81069881>] __put_cred+0xc/0x45 RSP: 0018:ffff88019e7e9eb8 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffff880161514480 RCX: 00000000ffffffff RDX: 00000000ffffffff RSI: ffff880140c690c0 RDI: ffff880140c690c0 RBP: ffff88019e7e9eb8 R08: 00000000000000d0 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000040 R12: ffff880140c690c0 R13: ffff88019e77aea0 R14: 00007fff336b0a5c R15: 0000000000000001 FS: 00007f12f50d97c0(0000) GS:ffff880007400000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f8f461bc000 CR3: 00000001b26ce000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process master (pid: 2436, threadinfo ffff88019e7e8000, task ffff88019e77aea0) Stack: ffff88019e7e9ec8 ffffffff810698cd ffff88019e7e9ef8 ffffffff81069b45 <0> ffff880161514180 ffff880161514480 ffff880161514180 0000000000000000 <0> ffff88019e7e9f28 ffffffff8106aace 0000000000000001 0000000000000246 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810698cd>] put_cred+0x13/0x15 [<ffffffff81069b45>] commit_creds+0x16b/0x175 [<ffffffff8106aace>] set_current_groups+0x47/0x4e [<ffffffff8106ac89>] sys_setgroups+0xf6/0x105 [<ffffffff81009b02>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 48 8d 71 ff e8 7e 4e 15 00 85 c0 78 0b 8b 75 ec 48 89 df e8 ef 4a 15 00 48 83 c4 18 5b c9 c3 55 8b 07 8b 07 48 89 e5 85 c0 74 04 <0f> 0b eb fe 65 48 8b 04 25 00 cc 00 00 48 3b b8 58 04 00 00 75 RIP [<ffffffff81069881>] __put_cred+0xc/0x45 RSP <ffff88019e7e9eb8> ---[ end trace df391256a100ebdd ]--- Signed-off-by:

When the coherent DMA buffers are mapped as Normal Non-cacheable (ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE enabled), buffer accesses are no longer ordered with Device memory accesses causing failures in device drivers that do not use the mandatory memory barriers before starting a DMA transfer. LKML discussions led to the conclusion that such barriers have to be added to the I/O accessors: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/683509/focus=686153 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/46414 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/5250 This patch introduces a wmb() barrier to the write*() I/O accessors to handle the situations where Normal Non-cacheable writes are still in the processor (or L2 cache controller) write buffer before a DMA transfer command is issued. For the read*() accessors, a rmb() is introduced after the I/O to avoid speculative loads where the driver polls for a DMA transfer ready bit. Signed-off-by:

This patch is in preparation for a subsequent patch which adds barriers to the I/O accessors. Since the mandatory barriers may do an L2 cache sync, this patch avoids a recursive call into l2x0_cache_sync() via the write*() accessors and wmb() and a call into l2x0_cache_sync() with the l2x0_lock held.
