* take truncate logics into a helper (handle_truncate())
* rip it out of may_open()
* call it from the only caller of may_open() that might pass
O_TRUNC

Eric Paris e81e3f4dca fs: move get_empty_filp() deffinition to internal.h
All users outside of fs/ of get_empty_filp() have been removed.  This patch
moves the definition from the include/ directory to internal.h so no new
users crop up and removes the EXPORT_SYMBOL.  I'd love to see open intents
stop using it too, but that's a problem for another day and a smarter
developer!

Al Viro b75b5086be Sanitize exec_permission_lite()
Use the sucker in other places in pathname resolution
that check MAY_EXEC for directories; lose the _lite
from name, it's equivalent of full-blown inode_permission()
for its callers (albeit still lighter, since large parts
of generic_permission() do not apply for pure MAY_EXEC).

Eric W. Biederman 832b6af198 sysfs: Propagate renames to the vfs on demand
By teaching sysfs_revalidate to hide a dentry for
a sysfs_dirent if the sysfs_dirent has been renamed,
and by teaching sysfs_lookup to return the original
dentry if the sysfs dirent has been renamed.  I can
show the results of renames correctly without having to
update the dcache during the directory rename.

This massively simplifies the rename logic allowing a lot
of weird sysfs special cases to be removed along with
a lot of now unnecesary helper code.

Christoph Hellwig 6b2f3d1f76 vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semantics
While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
O_DSYNC" comment.  This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics.  After Jan's O_SYNC
patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
vfs_fsync_range and when not.

This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
flag.  To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.

This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition.  Drivers and
network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set.  The few places setting O_SYNC for
lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.

We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
to make sure we always get these sane options.

Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op.  We try to repair it by using it for
the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

Linus Torvalds 5909ccaa30 Make 'check_acl()' a first-class filesystem op
This is stage one in flattening out the callchains for the common
permission testing.  Rather than have most filesystem implement their
own inode->i_op->permission function that just calls back down to the
VFS layers 'generic_permission()' with the per-filesystem ACL checking
function, the filesystem can just expose its 'check_acl' function
directly, and let the VFS layer do everything for it.

This is all just preparatory - no filesystem actually enables this yet.

Linus Torvalds cb9179ead0 Simplify exec_permission_lite(), part 3
Don't call down to the generic inode_permission() function just to
call the inode-specific permission function - just do it directly.

The generic inode_permission() code does things like checking MAY_WRITE
and devcgroup_inode_permission(), neither of which are relevant for the
light pathname walk permission checks (we always do just MAY_EXEC, and
the inode is never a special device).

This function is only called for path components that are already known
to be directories (they have a '->lookup' method).  So don't bother
doing that whole S_ISDIR() testing, the whole point of the 'lite()'
version is that we know that we are looking at a directory component,
and that we're only checking name lookup permission.

path_walk() we should either set nd->root.mnt to NULL *or* copy (and
pin down) some path to nd->root.  In the latter case we won't be

David Woodhouse 2f9092e102 Fix i_mutex vs. readdir handling in nfsd
Commit 14f7dd63 ("Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code") introduced a
bug to generic code which had been extant for a long time in the XFS
version -- it started to call through into lookup_one_len() and hence
into the file systems' ->lookup() methods without i_mutex held on the
directory.

This patch fixes it by locking the directory's i_mutex again before
calling the filldir functions. The original deadlocks which commit
14f7dd63 was designed to avoid are still avoided, because they were due
to fs-internal locking, not i_mutex.

While we're at it, fix the return type of nfsd_buffered_readdir() which
should be a __be32 not an int -- it's an NFS errno, not a Linux errno.
And return nfserrno(-ENOMEM) when allocation fails, not just -ENOMEM.
Sparse would have caught that, if it wasn't so busy bitching about
__cold__.

Commit 05f4f678 ("nfsd4: don't do lookup within readdir in recovery
code") introduced a similar problem with calling lookup_one_len()
without i_mutex, which this patch also addresses. To fix that, it was
necessary to fix the called functions so that they expect i_mutex to be
held; that part was done by J. Bruce Fields.

Mimi Zohar 6146f0d5e4 integrity: IMA hooks
This patch replaces the generic integrity hooks, for which IMA registered
itself, with IMA integrity hooks in the appropriate places directly
in the fs directory.

Al Viro acfa4380ef inode->i_op is never NULL
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.

Nick Piggin 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).
