c8fe8f30c7 cleanup may_open
Add a switch for the various i_mode fmt cases, and remove the comment
about writeability of devices nodes - that part is handled in
inode_permission and comment on (briefly) there.

We used to have rather schizophrenic set of checks for NULL ->i_op even
though it had been eliminated years ago.  You'd need to go out of your
way to set it to NULL explicitly _and_ a bunch of code would die on
such inodes anyway.  After killing two remaining places that still
did that bogosity, all that crap can go away.

54566b2c15 fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.

The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.

Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).

This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

f696a3659f [PATCH] move executable checking into ->permission()
For execute permission on a regular files we need to check if file has
any execute bits at all, regardless of capabilites.

This check is normally performed by generic_permission() but was also
added to the case when the filesystem defines its own ->permission()
method.  In the latter case the filesystem should be responsible for
performing this check.

Move the check from inode_permission() inside filesystems which are
not calling generic_permission().

Create a helper function execute_ok() that returns true if the inode
is a directory or if any execute bits are present in i_mode.

Also fix up the following code:

 - coda control file is never executable
 - sysctl files are never executable
 - hfs_permission seems broken on MAY_EXEC, remove
 - hfsplus_permission is eqivalent to generic_permission(), remove

LOOKUP_RENAME_TARGET is going to be used like LOOKUP_CREATE. But since

d70b67c8bc [patch] vfs: fix lookup on deleted directory
Lookup can install a child dentry for a deleted directory.  This keeps
the directory dentry alive, and the inode pinned in the cache and on
disk, even after all external references have gone away.

This isn't a big problem normally, since memory pressure or umount
will clear out the directory dentry and its children, releasing the
inode.  But for UBIFS this causes problems because its orphan area can
overflow.

Fix this by returning ENOENT for all lookups on a S_DEAD directory
before creating a child dentry.

Thanks to Zoltan Sogor for noticing this while testing UBIFS, and
Artem for the excellent analysis of the problem and testing.

(vfs_readlink returns length of "link"), but it should not
(not an errno) and does not need to.

e9baf6e598 [PATCH] return to old errno choice in mkdir() et.al.
In case when both EEXIST and EROFS would apply we used to
return the former in mkdir(2) and friends.  Lest anyone suspects
us of being consistent, in the same situation knfsd gave clients
nfs_erofs...

	ro-bind series had switched the syscall side of things to
returning -EROFS and immediately broke an application - namely,
mkdir -p.  Patch restores the original behaviour...

08ce5f16ee cgroups: implement device whitelist
Implement a cgroup to track and enforce open and mknod restrictions on device
files.  A device cgroup associates a device access whitelist with each cgroup.
 A whitelist entry has 4 fields.  'type' is a (all), c (char), or b (block).
'all' means it applies to all types and all major and minor numbers.  Major
and minor are either an integer or * for all.  Access is a composition of r
(read), w (write), and m (mknod).

The root device cgroup starts with rwm to 'all'.  A child devcg gets a copy of
the parent.  Admins can then remove devices from the whitelist or add new
entries.  A child cgroup can never receive a device access which is denied its
parent.  However when a device access is removed from a parent it will not
also be removed from the child(ren).

An entry is added using devices.allow, and removed using
devices.deny.  For instance

	echo 'c 1:3 mr' > /cgroups/1/devices.allow

allows cgroup 1 to read and mknod the device usually known as
/dev/null.  Doing

	echo a > /cgroups/1/devices.deny

will remove the default 'a *:* mrw' entry.

CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to change permissions or move another task to a new
cgroup.  A cgroup may not be granted more permissions than the cgroup's parent
has.  Any task can move itself between cgroups.  This won't be sufficient, but
we can decide the best way to adequately restrict movement later.

4a3fd211cc [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: elevate write count for open()s
This is the first really tricky patch in the series.  It elevates the writer
count on a mount each time a non-special file is opened for write.

We used to do this in may_open(), but Miklos pointed out that __dentry_open()
is used as well to create filps.  This will cover even those cases, while a
call in may_open() would not have.

There is also an elevated count around the vfs_create() call in open_namei().
See the comments for more details, but we need this to fix a 'create, remount,
fail r/w open()' race.

Some filesystems forego the use of normal vfs calls to create
struct files.   Make sure that these users elevate the mnt
writer count because they will get __fput(), and we need
to make sure they're balanced.

So that we don't have to make three mnt_want/drop_write()

a70e65df88 [PATCH] merge open_namei() and do_filp_open()
open_namei() will, in the future, need to take mount write counts
over its creation and truncation (via may_open()) operations.  It
needs to keep these write counts until any potential filp that is
created gets __fput()'d.

This gets complicated in the error handling and becomes very murky
as to how far open_namei() actually got, and whether or not that
mount write count was taken.  That makes it a bad interface.

All that the current do_filp_open() really does is allocate the
nameidata on the stack, then call open_namei().

So, this merges those two functions and moves filp_open() over
to namei.c so it can be close to its buddy: do_filp_open().  It
also gets a kerneldoc comment in the process.

This patch moves the sys_open flags to namei flags

gets the sys_open flags to a place where we can get

a02f76c34d [PATCH] get stack footprint of pathname resolution back to relative sanity
Somebody had put struct nameidata in stack frame of link_path_walk().
Unfortunately, there are certain realities to deal with:
	* It's in the middle of recursion.  Depth is equal to the nesting
depth of symlinks, i.e. up to 8.
	* struct namiedata is, even if one discards the intent junk,
at least 12 pointers + 5 ints.
	* moreover, adding a stack frame is not free in that situation.
	* there are fs methods called on top of that, and they also have
stack footprint.
	* kernel stack is not infinite.

The thing is, even if one chooses to deal with -ESTALE that way (and it's
one hell of an overkill), the only thing that needs to be preserved is
vfsmount + dentry, not the entire struct nameidata.

4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

ece95912db inotify: send IN_ATTRIB events when link count changes
Currently, no notification event has been sent when inode's link count
changed.  This is inconvenient for the application in some cases:

Suppose you have the following directory structure

    foo/test
    bar/

and you watch test.  If someone does "mv foo/test bar/", you get event
IN_MOVE_SELF and you know something has happened with the file "test".
However if someone does "ln foo/test bar/test" and "rm foo/test" you get no
inotify event for the file "test" (only directories "foo" and "bar" receive
events).

Furthermore it could be argued that link count belongs to file's metadata and
thus IN_ATTRIB should be sent when it changes.

The following patch implements sending of IN_ATTRIB inotify events when link
count of the inode changes, i.e., when a hardlink to the inode is created or
when it is removed.  This event is sent in addition to all the events sent so
far.  In particular, when a last link to a file is removed, IN_ATTRIB event is
sent in addition to IN_DELETE_SELF event.

974a9f0b47 Use access mode instead of open flags to determine needed permissions
Way back when (in commit 834f2a4a15, aka
"VFS: Allow the filesystem to return a full file pointer on open intent"
to be exact), Trond changed the open logic to keep track of the original
flags to a file open, in order to pass down the the intent of a dentry
lookup to the low-level filesystem.

However, when doing that reorganization, it changed the meaning of
namei_flags, and thus inadvertently changed the test of access mode for
directories (and RO filesystem) to use the wrong flag.  So fix those
test back to use access mode ("acc_mode") rather than the open flag
("flag").

b41572e929 r/o bind mounts: rearrange may_open() to be r/o friendly
may_open() calls vfs_permission() before it does checks for IS_RDONLY(inode).
It checks _again_ inside of vfs_permission().

The check inside of vfs_permission() is going away eventually.  With the
mnt_want/drop_write() functions, all of the r/o checks (except for this one)
are consistently done before calling permission().  Because of this, I'd like
to use permission() to hold a debugging check to make sure that the
mnt_want/drop_write() calls are actually being made.

So, to do this:
1. remove the IS_RDONLY() check from permission()
2. enforce that you must mnt_want_write() before
   even calling permission()
3. actually add the debugging check to permission()

We need to rearrange may_open() to do r/o checks before calling permission().
Here's the patch.

22590e41cb fix execute checking in permission()
permission() checks that MAY_EXEC is only allowed on regular files if at least
one execute bit is set in the file mode.

generic_permission() already ensures this, so the extra check in permission()
is superfluous.

If the filesystem defines it's own ->permission() the check may still be
needed.  In this case move it after ->permission().  This is needed because
filesystems such as FUSE may need to refresh the inode attributes before
checking permissions.

This check should be moved inside ->permission(), but that's another story.

eead191153 partially fix up the lookup_one_noperm mess
Try to fix the mess created by sysfs braindamage.

 - refactor code internal to fs/namei.c a little to avoid too much
   duplication:
	o __lookup_hash_kern is renamed back to __lookup_hash
	o the old __lookup_hash goes away, permission checks moves to
	  the two callers
	o useless inline qualifiers on above functions go away
 - lookup_one_len_kern loses it's last argument and is renamed to
   lookup_one_noperm to make it's useage a little more clear
 - added kerneldoc comments to describe lookup_one_len aswell as
   lookup_one_noperm and make it very clear that no one should use
   the latter ever.

16f1820028 fs: introduce vfs_path_lookup
Stackable file systems, among others, frequently need to lookup paths or
path components starting from an arbitrary point in the namespace
(identified by a dentry and a vfsmount).  Currently, such file systems use
lookup_one_len, which is frowned upon [1] as it does not pass the lookup
intent along; not passing a lookup intent, for example, can trigger BUG_ON's
when stacking on top of NFSv4.

The first patch introduces a new lookup function to allow lookup starting
from an arbitrary point in the namespace.  This approach has been suggested
by Christoph Hellwig [2].

The second patch changes sunrpc to use vfs_path_lookup.

The third patch changes nfsctl.c to use vfs_path_lookup.

The fourth patch marks link_path_walk static.

The fifth, and last patch, unexports path_walk because it is no longer
unnecessary to call it directly, and using the new vfs_path_lookup is
cleaner.

For example, the following snippet of code, looks up "some/path/component"
in a directory pointed to by parent_{dentry,vfsmnt}:

err = vfs_path_lookup(parent_dentry, parent_vfsmnt,
		      "some/path/component", 0, &nd);
if (!err) {
	/* exits */

	...

	/* once done, release the references */
	path_release(&nd);
} else if (err == -ENOENT) {
	/* doesn't exist */
} else {
	/* other error */
}

VFS functions such as lookup_create can be used on the nameidata structure
to pass the create intent to the file system.

3bd858ab1c Introduce is_owner_or_cap() to wrap CAP_FOWNER use with fsuid check
Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant
users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future
where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a
file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as
well, thus violating its semantics.
[ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ...
untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ]

The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and
exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are
covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations
falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

6fe6900e1e mm: make read_cache_page synchronous
Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd.  All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.

057f6c019f security: prevent permission checking of file removal via sysfs_remove_group()
Prevent permission checking from being performed when the kernel wants to
unconditionally remove a sysfs group, by introducing an kernel-only variant
of lookup_one_len(), lookup_one_len_kern().

Additionally, as sysfs_remove_group() does not check the return value of
the lookup before using it, a BUG_ON has been added to pinpoint the cause
of any problems potentially caused by this (and as a form of annotation).

aab520e2f6 [PATCH] r/o bind mount prepwork: move open_namei()'s vfs_create()
The code around vfs_create() in open_namei() is getting a bit too complex.
Right now, there is at least the reference count on the dentry, and the
i_mutex to worry about.  Soon, we'll also have mnt_writecount.

So, break the vfs_create() call out of open_namei(), and into a helper
function.  This duplicates the call to may_open(), but that isn't such a bad
thing since the arguments (acc_mode and flag) were being heavily massaged
anyway.

bcdc5e019d [PATCH] autofs4 needs to force fail return revalidate
For a long time now I have had a problem with not being able to return a
lookup failure on an existsing directory.  In autofs this corresponds to a
mount failure on a autofs managed mount entry that is browsable (and so the
mount point directory exists).

While this problem has been present for a long time I've avoided resolving
it because it was not very visible.  But now that autofs v5 has "mount and
expire on demand" of nested multiple mounts, such as is found when mounting
an export list from a server, solving the problem cannot be avoided any
longer.

I've tried very hard to find a way to do this entirely within the autofs4
module but have not been able to find a satisfactory way to achieve it.

So, I need to propose a change to the VFS.
