Al Viro 18bb1db3e7 switch vfs_mkdir() and ->mkdir() to umode_t
vfs_mkdir() gets int, but immediately drops everything that might not
fit into umode_t and that's the only caller of ->mkdir()...

Al Viro 5ede7b1cfa pull manipulations of rpc_cred inside alloc_nfs_open_context()
No need to duplicate them in both callers; make it return
ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) on allocation failure instead of NULL and
it'll be able to report rpc_lookup_cred() failures just
fine.  Callers are much happier that way...

Jeff Layton 1788ea6e3b nfs: when attempting to open a directory, fall back on normal lookup (try #5)
commit d953126 changed how nfs_atomic_lookup handles an -EISDIR return
from an OPEN call. Prior to that patch, that caused the client to fall
back to doing a normal lookup. When that patch went in, the code began
returning that error to userspace. The d_revalidate codepath however
never had the corresponding change, so it was still possible to end up
with a NULL ctx->state pointer after that.

That patch caused a regression. When we attempt to open a directory that
does not have a cached dentry, that open now errors out with EISDIR. If
you attempt the same open with a cached dentry, it will succeed.

Fix this by reverting the change in nfs_atomic_lookup and allowing
attempts to open directories to fall back to a normal lookup

Also, add a NFSv4-specific f_ops->open routine that just returns
-ENOTDIR. This should never be called if things are working properly,
but if it ever is, then the dprintk may help in debugging.

To facilitate this, a new file_operations field is also added to the
nfs_rpc_ops struct.

Trond Myklebust 0c0308066c NFS: Fix spurious readdir cookie loop messages
If the directory contents change, then we have to accept that the
file->f_pos value may shrink if we do a 'search-by-cookie'. In that
case, we should turn off the loop detection and let the NFS client
try to recover.

The patch also fixes a second loop detection bug by ensuring
that after turning on the ctx->duped flag, we read at least one new
cookie into ctx->dir_cookie before attempting to match with
ctx->dup_cookie.

Josef Bacik 02c24a8218 fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

Chuck Lever 573c4e1ef5 NFS: Simplify ->decode_dirent() calling sequence
Clean up.

The pointer returned by ->decode_dirent() is no longer used as a
pointer.  The only call site (xdr_decode() in fs/nfs/dir.c) simply
extracts the errno value encoded in the pointer.  Replace the
returned pointer with a standard integer errno return value.

Also, pass the "server" argument as part of the nfs_entry instead of
as a separate parameter.  It's faster to derive "server" in
nfs_readdir_xdr_to_array() since we already have the directory's inode
handy.  "server" ought to be invariant for a set of entries in the
same directory, right?

The legacy versions of decode_dirent() don't use "server" anyway, so
it's wasted work for them to derive and pass "server" for each entry.

We should ignore the errors from the filldir callback, and just interpret
them as meaning we should exit, however we should definitely pass back
ENOMEM errors.

Catalin Marinas 04e4bd1c67 nfs: Ignore kmemleak false positive in nfs_readdir_make_qstr
Strings allocated via kmemdup() in nfs_readdir_make_qstr() are
referenced from the nfs_cache_array which is stored in a page cache
page. Kmemleak does not scan such pages and it reports several false
positives. This patch annotates the string->name pointer so that
kmemleak does not consider it a real leak.

Bryan Schumaker 82f2e5472e NFS: Readdir plus in v4
By requsting more attributes during a readdir, we can mimic the readdir plus
operation that was in NFSv3.

To test, I ran the command `ls -lU --color=none` on directories with various
numbers of files.  Without readdir plus, I see this:

n files |    100    |   1,000   |  10,000   |  100,000  | 1,000,000

total   | 111       | 1,021     | 10,163    | 101,583   | 1,015,784

With readdir plus enabled, I see this:

n files |    100    |   1,000   |  10,000   |  100,000  | 1,000,000
--------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------

total   | 15        | 67        | 635       | 6,305     | 63,004

Readdir plus disabled has about a 16x increase in the number of rpc calls and
is 4 - 5 times slower on large directories.

Bryan Schumaker d1bacf9eb2 NFS: add readdir cache array
This patch adds the readdir cache array and functions to retreive the array
stored on a cache page, clear the array by freeing allocated memory, add an
entry to the array, and search the array for a given cookie.

It then modifies readdir to make use of the new cache array.
With the new cache array method, we no longer need some of this code.

Finally, nfs_llseek_dir() will set file->f_pos to a value greater than 0 and
desc->dir_cookie to zero.  When we see this, readdir needs to find the file
at position file->f_pos from the start of the directory.

Neil Brown f5a73672d1 NFS: allow close-to-open cache semantics to apply to root of NFS filesystem
To obey NFS cache semantics, the client must verify the cached
attributes when a file is opened.  In most cases this is done by a call to
d_validate as one of the last steps in path_walk.

However for the root of a filesystem, d_validate is only ever called
on the mounted-on filesystem (except when the path ends '.' or '..').
So NFS has no chance to validate the attributes.

So, in nfs_opendir, we revalidate the attributes if the opened
directory is the mountpoint.  This may cause double-validation for "."
and ".." lookups, but that is better than missing regular /path/name
lookups completely.

Eric Paris 9cfcac810e vfs: re-introduce MAY_CHDIR
Currently MAY_ACCESS means that filesystems must check the permissions
right then and not rely on cached results or the results of future
operations on the object.  This can be because of a call to sys_access() or
because of a call to chdir() which needs to check search without relying on
any future operations inside that dir.  I plan to use MAY_ACCESS for other
purposes in the security system, so I split the MAY_ACCESS and the
MAY_CHDIR cases.

Dave Chinner 7f8275d0d6 mm: add context argument to shrinker callback
The current shrinker implementation requires the registered callback

caches that are not global (e.g. per-filesystem caches). Pass the shrinker
structure to the callback so that users can embed the shrinker structure
in the context the shrinker needs to operate on and get back to it in the

Al Viro d9e80b7de9 nfs d_revalidate() is too trigger-happy with d_drop()
If dentry found stale happens to be a root of disconnected tree, we
can't d_drop() it; its d_hash is actually part of s_anon and d_drop()
would simply hide it from shrink_dcache_for_umount(), leading to
all sorts of fun, including busy inodes on umount and oopsen after
that.

Bug had been there since at least 2006 (commit c636eb already has it),

Trond Myklebust d953126a28 NFSv4: Fix a problem whereby a buggy server can oops the kernel
We just had a case in which a buggy server occasionally returns the wrong
attributes during an OPEN call. While the client does catch this sort of
condition in nfs4_open_done(), and causes the nfs4_atomic_open() to return
-EISDIR, the logic in nfs_atomic_lookup() is broken, since it causes a
fallback to an ordinary lookup instead of just returning the error.

When the buggy server then returns a regular file for the fallback lookup,
the VFS allows the open, and bad things start to happen, since the open
file doesn't have any associated NFSv4 state.

The fix is firstly to return the EISDIR/ENOTDIR errors immediately, and
secondly to ensure that we are always careful when dereferencing the
nfs_open_context state pointer.

Suresh Jayaraman a71ee337b3 NFS: Handle -ESTALE error in access()
Hi Trond,

I have been looking at a bugreport where trying to open applications on KDE
on a NFS mounted home fails temporarily. There have been multiple reports on
different kernel versions pointing to this common issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12557
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269954
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508866.html

This issue can be reproducible consistently by doing this on a NFS mounted
home (KDE):
1. Open 2 xterm sessions
2. From one of the xterm session, do "ssh -X <remote host>"
3. "stat ~/.Xauthority" on the remote SSH session
4. Close the two xterm sessions
5. On the server do a "stat ~/.Xauthority"
6. Now on the client, try to open xterm
This will fail.

Even if the filehandle had become stale, the NFS client should invalidate
the cache/inode and should repeat LOOKUP. Looking at the packet capture when
the failure occurs shows that there were two subsequent ACCESS() calls with
the same filehandle and both fails with -ESTALE error.

I have tested the fix below. Now the client issue a LOOKUP after the
ACCESS() call fails with -ESTALE. If all this makes sense to you, can you
consider this for inclusion?

Thanks,


If the server returns an -ESTALE error due to stale filehandle in response to
an ACCESS() call, we need to invalidate the cache and inode so that LOOKUP()
can be retried. Without this change, the nfs client retries ACCESS() with the
same filehandle, fails again and could lead to temporary failure of
applications running on nfs mounted home.

Peter Staubach 64672d55d9 optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0"
Hi.

I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes.  It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)

In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it.  It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo].  The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo).  With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.

This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case.  However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.

    Thanx...

Miklos Szeredi 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

Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file
systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap
("anon").  The latter includes tmpfs.

The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots
of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to
find the page cache pages that it should evict.

This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much
we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists.  The big
policy changes are in separate patches.

Trond Myklebust fc0f684c21 NFS: Remove BKL from NFS lookup code
All dentry-related operations are already BKL-safe, since they are
protected by the VFS locking. No extra locks should be needed in the NFS
code.

In the case of nfs_revalidate_inode(), we're only doing an attribute
update (protected by the inode->i_lock).
In the case of nfs_lookup(), we're instantiating a new dentry, so there
should be no contention possible until after we call d_materialise_unique.

invalidate_inode_pages2_range() takes page offset arguments, not byte

Another thought is that individual pages might perhaps get evicted by VM
pressure, in which case we might perhaps want to re-read not only the
evicted page, but all subsequent pages too (in case the server returns
more/less data per page so that the alignment of the next entry
changes). We should therefore remove the condition that we only do this on
page->index==0.

Dave Hansen 2c463e9548 [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: check mnt instead of superblock directly
If we depend on the inodes for writeability, we will not catch the r/o mounts
when implemented.

This patches uses __mnt_want_write().  It does not guarantee that the mount
will stay writeable after the check.  But, this is OK for one of the checks
because it is just for a printk().

The other two are probably unnecessary and duplicate existing checks in the
VFS.  This won't make them better checks than before, but it will make them
detect r/o mounts.

Trond Myklebust 98a8e32394 SUNRPC: Add a helper rpcauth_lookup_generic_cred()
The NFSv4 protocol allows clients to negotiate security protocols on the
fly in the case where an administrator on the server changes the export
settings and/or in the case where we may have a filesystem migration event.

Instead of having the NFS client code cache credentials that are tied to a
particular AUTH method it is therefore preferable to have a generic credential
that can be converted into whatever AUTH is in use by the RPC client when
the read/write/sillyrename/... is put on the wire.

We do this by means of the new "generic" credential, which basically just
caches the minimal information that is needed to look up an RPCSEC_GSS,
AUTH_SYS, or AUTH_NULL credential.

Fabio Olive Leite c7e1596111 Re: [NFS] [PATCH] Attribute timeout handling and wrapping u32 jiffies
I would like to discuss the idea that the current checks for attribute
timeout using time_after are inadequate for 32bit architectures, since
time_after works correctly only when the two timestamps being compared
are within 2^31 jiffies of each other. The signed overflow caused by
comparing values more than 2^31 jiffies apart will flip the result,
causing incorrect assumptions of validity.

2^31 jiffies is a fairly large period of time (~25 days) when compared
to the lifetime of most kernel data structures, but for long lived NFS
mounts that can sit idle for months (think that for some reason autofs
cannot be used), it is easy to compare inode attribute timestamps with
very disparate or even bogus values (as in when jiffies have wrapped
many times, where the comparison doesn't even make sense).

Currently the code tests for attribute timeout by simply adding the
desired amount of jiffies to the stored timestamp and comparing that
with the current timestamp of obtained attribute data with time_after.
This is incorrect, as it returns true for the desired timeout period
and another full 2^31 range of jiffies.

In testing with artificial jumps (several small jumps, not one big
crank) of the jiffies I was able to reproduce a problem found in a
server with very long lived NFS mounts, where attributes would not be
refreshed even after touching files and directories in the server:

Initial uptime:
03:42:01 up 6 min, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.12, 0.07

NFS volume is mounted and time is advanced:
03:38:09 up 25 days, 2 min, 0 users, load average: 1.22, 1.05, 1.08

# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:38 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar

# touch /local/A/foo/bar

# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar

We can see the local mtime is updated, but the NFS mount still shows
the old value. The patch below makes it work:

Initial setup...
07:11:02 up 25 days, 1 min,  0 users,  load average: 0.15, 0.03, 0.04

Peter Staubach 4e769b934e 64 bit ino support for NFS client
Hi.

Attached is a patch to modify the NFS client code to support
64 bit ino's, as appropriate for the system and the NFS
protocol version.

The code basically just expand the NFS interfaces for routines
which handle ino's from using ino_t to u64 and then uses the
fileid in the nfs_inode instead of i_ino in the inode.  The
code paths that were updated are in the getattr method and
the readdir methods.

This should be no real change on 64 bit platforms.  Since
the ino_t is an unsigned long, it would already be 64 bits
wide.

    Thanx...

           ps

Trond Myklebust 54af3bb543 NFS: Fix an Oops in encode_lookup()
It doesn't look as if the NFS file name limit is being initialised correctly
in the struct nfs_server. Make sure that we limit whatever is being set in
nfs_probe_fsinfo() and nfs_init_server().

Also ensure that readdirplus and nfs4_path_walk respect our file name
limits.

Trond Myklebust e4eff1a622 SUNRPC: Clean up the sillyrename code
Fix a couple of bugs:
 - Don't rely on the parent dentry still being valid when the call completes.
   Fixes a race with shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree()

 - Don't remove the file if the filehandle has been labelled as stale.

Fix a couple of inefficiencies
 - Remove the global list of sillyrenamed files. Instead we can cache the
   sillyrename information in the dentry->d_fsdata
 - Move common code from unlink_setup/unlink_done into fs/nfs/unlink.c

Alexey Dobriyan e8edc6e03a Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Cross-compile tested on

	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
	alpha alpha-up
	arm
	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig

redundant: nfs_lookup_revalidate() will already call nfs_revalidate_inode()

Nick Piggin 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.

Neil Brown 83672d392f NFS: Fix directory caching problem - with test case and patch.
Try running this script in an NFS mounted directory (Client relatively
recent - 2.6.18 has the problem as does 2.6.20).

------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
#
# This script will produce the following errormessage from tar:
#
#   tar: newdir/innerdir/innerfile: file changed as we read it

# create dirs
rm -rf nfstest
mkdir -p nfstest/dir/innerdir

# create files (should not be empty)
echo "Hello World!" >nfstest/dir/file
echo "Hello World!" >nfstest/dir/innerdir/innerfile

# problem only happens if we sleep before chmod
sleep 1

# change file modes
chmod -R a+r nfstest

# rename dir
mv nfstest/dir nfstest/newdir

# tar it
tar -cf nfstest/nfstest.tar -C nfstest newdir

# restore old dir name
mv nfstest/newdir nfstest/dir
--------------------------------------------------------

What happens:

The 'chmod -R' does a readdir_plus in each directory and the results
get cached in the page cache.  It then updates the ctime on each file
by one second.  When this happens, the post-op attributes are used to
update the ctime stored on the client to match the value in the kernel.

The 'mv' calls shrink_dcache_parent on the directory tree which
flushes all the dentries (so a new lookup will be required) but
doesn't flush the inodes or pagecache.

The 'tar' does a readdir on each directory, but (in the case of
'innerdir' at least) satisfies it from the pagecache and uses the
READDIRPLUS data to update all the inodes.  In the case of
'innerdir/innerfile', the ctime is out of date.

'tar' then calls 'lstat' on innerdir/innerfile getting an old ctime.
It then opens the file (triggering a GETATTR), reads the content, and
then calls fstat to see if anything has changed.  It finds that ctime
has changed and so complains.

The problem seems to be that the cache readdirplus info is kept around
for too long.

My patch below discards pagecache data for directories when
dentry_iput is called on them.  This effectively removes the symptom
which convinces me that I correctly understand the problem.  However
I'm not convinced that is a proper solution, as there could easily be
other races that trigger the same problem without being affected by
this 'fix'.

One possibility would be to require that readdirplus pagecache data be
only used *once* to instantiate an inode.  Somehow it should then be
invalidated so that if the dentry subsequently disappears, it will
cause a new request to the server to fill in the stat data.

Another possibility is to compare the cache_change_attribute on the
inode with something similar for the readdirplus info and reject the
info from readdirplus if it is too old.

I haven't tried to implement these and would value other opinions
before I do.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Neil Brown 1f4eab7e7c NFS: Set meaningful value for fattr->time_start in readdirplus results.
Don't use uninitialsed value for fattr->time_start in readdirplus results.

The 'fattr' structure filled in by nfs3_decode_direct does not get a
value for ->time_start set.
Thus if an entry is for an inode that we already have in cache,
when nfs_readdir_lookup calls nfs_fhget, it will call nfs_refresh_inode
and may update the inode with out-of-date information.

Directories are read a page at a time, so each page could have a
different timestamp that "should" be used to set the time_start for
the fattr for info in that page.  However storing the timestamp per
page is awkward.  (We could stick in the first 4 bytes and only read 4092
bytes, but that is a bigger code change than I am interested it).

This patch ignores the readdir_plus attributes if a readdir finds the
information already in cache, and otherwise sets ->time_start to the time
the readdir request was sent to the server.

It might be nice to store - in the directory inode - the time stamp for
the earliest readdir request that is still in the page cache, so that we
don't ignore attribute data that we don't have to.  This patch doesn't do
that.
