2014-04-01vfs: add RENAME_NOREPLACE flagMiklos Szeredi
If this flag is specified and the target of the rename exists then the rename syscall fails with EEXIST. The VFS does the existence checking, so it is trivial to enable for most local filesystems. This patch only enables it in ext4. For network filesystems the VFS check is not enough as there may be a race between a remote create and the rename, so these filesystems need to handle this flag in their ->rename() implementations to ensure atomicity. Andy writes about why this is useful: "The trivial answer: to eliminate the race condition from 'mv -i'. Another answer: there's a common pattern to atomically create a file with contents: open a temporary file, write to it, optionally fsync it, close it, then link(2) it to the final name, then unlink the temporary file. The reason to use link(2) is because it won't silently clobber the destination. This is annoying: - It requires an extra system call that shouldn't be necessary. - It doesn't work on (IMO sensible) filesystems that don't support hard links (e.g. vfat). - It's not atomic -- there's an intermediate state where both files exist. - It's ugly. The new rename flag will make this totally sensible. To be fair, on new enough kernels, you can also use O_TMPFILE and linkat to achieve the same thing even more cleanly."

As Trond pointed out, you can currently deadlock yourself by setting a file-private lock on a file that requires mandatory locking and then trying to do I/O on it. Avoid this problem by plumbing some knowledge of file-private locks into the mandatory locking code.

2014-03-23rcuwalk: recheck mount_lock after mountpoint crossing attemptsAl Viro
We can get false negative from __lookup_mnt() if an unrelated vfsmount gets moved. In that case legitimize_mnt() is guaranteed to fail, and we will fall back to non-RCU walk... unless we end up running into a hard error on a filesystem object we wouldn't have reached if not for that false negative. IOW, delaying that check until the end of pathname resolution is wrong - we should recheck right after we attempt to cross the mountpoint. We don't need to recheck unless we see d_mountpoint() being true - in that case even if we have just raced with mount/umount, we can simply go on as if we'd come at the moment when the sucker wasn't a mountpoint; if we run into a hard error as the result, it was a legitimate outcome. __lookup_mnt() returning NULL is different in that respect, since it might've happened due to operation on completely unrelated mountpoint.

2014-03-10vfs: atomic f_pos accesses as per POSIXLinus Torvalds
Our write() system call has always been atomic in the sense that you get the expected thread-safe contiguous write, but we haven't actually guaranteed that concurrent writes are serialized wrt f_pos accesses, so threads (or processes) that share a file descriptor and use "write()" concurrently would quite likely overwrite each others data. This violates POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4 Section XSI 2.9.7 that says: "2.9.7 Thread Interactions with Regular File Operations All of the following functions shall be atomic with respect to each other in the effects specified in POSIX.1-2008 when they operate on regular files or symbolic links: [...]" and one of the effects is the file position update. This unprotected file position behavior is not new behavior, and nobody has ever cared. Until now. Yongzhi Pan reported unexpected behavior to Michael Kerrisk that was due to this. This resolves the issue with a f_pos-specific lock that is taken by read/write/lseek on file descriptors that may be shared across threads or processes.

2014-02-05execve: use 'struct filename *' for executable name passingLinus Torvalds
This changes 'do_execve()' to get the executable name as a 'struct filename', and to free it when it is done. This is what the normal users want, and it simplifies and streamlines their error handling. The controlled lifetime of the executable name also fixes a use-after-free problem with the trace_sched_process_exec tracepoint: the lifetime of the passed-in string for kernel users was not at all obvious, and the user-mode helper code used UMH_WAIT_EXEC to serialize the pathname allocation lifetime with the execve() having finished, which in turn meant that the trace point that happened after mm_release() of the old process VM ended up using already free'd memory. To solve the kernel string lifetime issue, this simply introduces "getname_kernel()" that works like the normal user-space getname() function, except with the source coming from kernel memory. As Oleg points out, this also means that we could drop the tcomm[] array from 'struct linux_binprm', since the pathname lifetime now covers setup_new_exec(). That would be a separate cleanup.

2013-11-09locks: break delegations on unlinkJ. Bruce Fields
We need to break delegations on any operation that changes the set of links pointing to an inode. Start with unlink. Such operations also hold the i_mutex on a parent directory. Breaking a delegation may require waiting for a timeout (by default 90 seconds) in the case of a unresponsive NFS client. To avoid blocking all directory operations, we therefore drop locks before waiting for the delegation. The logic then looks like: acquire locks ... test for delegation; if found: take reference on inode release locks wait for delegation break drop reference on inode retry It is possible this could never terminate. (Even if we take precautions to prevent another delegation being acquired on the same inode, we could get a different inode on each retry.) But this seems very unlikely. The initial test for a delegation happens after the lock on the target inode is acquired, but the directory inode may have been acquired further up the call stack. We therefore add a "struct inode **" argument to any intervening functions, which we use to pass the inode back up to the caller in the case it needs a delegation synchronously broken.

2013-11-09vfs: take i_mutex on renamed fileJ. Bruce Fields
A read delegation is used by NFSv4 as a guarantee that a client can perform local read opens without informing the server. The open operation takes the last component of the pathname as an argument, thus is also a lookup operation, and giving the client the above guarantee means informing the client before we allow anything that would change the set of names pointing to the inode. Therefore, we need to break delegations on rename, link, and unlink. We also need to prevent new delegations from being acquired while one of these operations is in progress. We could add some completely new locking for that purpose, but it's simpler to use the i_mutex, since that's already taken by all the operations we care about. The single exception is rename. So, modify rename to take the i_mutex on the file that is being renamed. Also fix up lockdep and Documentation/filesystems/directory-locking to reflect the change.

Checks the mount_lock sequence number against seq, then grabs reference to mnt. Then it rechecks mount_lock again to close the race and either returns success or drops the reference it has acquired. The subtle point is that in case of MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT we can simply decrement the refcount and sod off - aforementioned synchronize_rcu() makes sure that final mntput() won't come until we leave RCU mode. We need that, since we don't want to end up with some lazy pathwalk racing with umount() and stealing the final mntput() from it - caller of umount() may expect it to return only once the fs is shut down and we don't want to break that. In other cases (i.e. with MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT absent) we have to do full-blown mntput() in case of mount_lock sequence number mismatch happening just as we'd grabbed the reference, but in those cases we won't be stealing the final mntput() from anything that would care. * mntput_no_expire() doesn't lock anything on the fast path now. Incidentally, SMP and UP cases are handled the same way - no ifdefs there. * normal pathname resolution does *not* do any writes to mount_lock.

2013-11-05audit: add child record before the create to handle case where create failsJeff Layton
Historically, when a syscall that creates a dentry fails, you get an audit record that looks something like this (when trying to create a file named "new" in "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63"): type=PATH msg=audit(1366128956.279:965): item=0 name="/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new" inode=2138308 dev=fd:02 mode=040700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s15:c0.c1023 This record makes no sense since it's associating the inode information for "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63" with the path "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new". The recent patch I posted to fix the audit_inode call in do_last fixes this, by making it look more like this: type=PATH msg=audit(1366128765.989:13875): item=0 name="/tmp/tmp.DJ1O8V3e4f/" inode=141 dev=fd:02 mode=040700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s15:c0.c1023 While this is more correct, if the creation of the file fails, then we have no record of the filename that the user tried to create. This patch adds a call to audit_inode_child to may_create. This creates an AUDIT_TYPE_CHILD_CREATE record that will sit in place until the create succeeds. When and if the create does succeed, then this record will be updated with the correct inode info from the create. This fixes what was broken in commit bfcec708.

Remove vfs_follow_link, document the replacement in Documentation/filesystems/porting and also rename __vfs_follow_link to match its only caller better.

2013-09-10vfs: make sure we don't have a stale root path if unlazy_walk() failsLinus Torvalds
When I moved the RCU walk termination into unlazy_walk(), I didn't copy quite all of it: for the successful RCU termination we properly add the necessary reference counts to our temporary copy of the root path, but for the failure case we need to make sure that any temporary root path information is cleared out (since it does _not_ have the proper reference counts from the RCU lookup). We could clean up this mess by just always dropping the temporary root information, but Al points out that that would mean that a single lookup through symlinks could see multiple different root entries if it races with another thread doing chroot. Not that I think we should really care (we had that before too, back before we had a copy of the root path in the nameidata). Al says he has a cunning plan. In the meantime, this is the minimal fix for the problem, even if it's not all that pretty.

2013-09-08vfs: fix dentry RCU to refcounting possibly sleeping dput()Linus Torvalds
This is the fix that the last two commits indirectly led up to - making sure that we don't call dput() in a bad context on the dentries we've looked up in RCU mode after the sequence count validation fails. This basically expands d_rcu_to_refcount() into the callers, and then fixes the callers to delay the dput() in the failure case until _after_ we've dropped all locks and are no longer in an RCU-locked region. The case of 'complete_walk()' was trivial, since its failure case did the unlock_rcu_walk() directly after the call to d_rcu_to_refcount(), and as such that is just a pure expansion of the function with a trivial movement of the resulting dput() to after 'unlock_rcu_walk()'. In contrast, the unlazy_walk() case was much more complicated, because not only does convert two different dentries from RCU to be reference counted, but it used to not call unlock_rcu_walk() at all, and instead just returned an error and let the caller clean everything up in "terminate_walk()". Happily, one of the dentries in question (called "parent" inside unlazy_walk()) is the dentry of "nd->path", which terminate_walk() wants a refcount to anyway for the non-RCU case. So what the new and improved unlazy_walk() does is to first turn that dentry into a refcounted one, and once that is set up, the error cases can continue to use the terminate_walk() helper for cleanup, but for the non-RCU case. Which makes it possible to drop out of RCU mode if we actually hit the sequence number failure case.

2013-09-08vfs: use lockred "dead" flag to mark unrecoverably dead dentriesLinus Torvalds
This simplifies the RCU to refcounting code in particular. I was originally intending to leave this for later, but walking through all the dput() logic (see previous commit), I realized that the dput() "might_sleep()" check was misleadingly weak. And I removed it as misleading, both for performance profiling and for debugging. However, the might_sleep() debugging case is actually true: the final dput() can indeed sleep, if the inode of the dentry that you are releasing ends up sleeping at iput time (see dentry_iput()). So the problem with the might_sleep() in dput() wasn't that it wasn't true, it was that it wasn't actually testing and triggering on the interesting case. In particular, just about *any* dput() can indeed sleep, if you happen to race with another thread deleting the file in question, and you then lose the race to the be the last dput() for that file. But because it's a very rare race, the debugging code would never trigger it in practice. Why is this problematic? The new d_rcu_to_refcount() (see commit 15570086b590: "vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using lockref_get_or_lock()") does a dput() for the failure case, and it does it under the RCU lock. So potentially sleeping really is a bug. But there's no way I'm going to fix this with the previous complicated "lockref_get_or_lock()" interface. And rather than revert to the old and crufty nested dentry locking code (which did get this right by delaying the reference count updates until they were verified to be safe), let's make forward progress.

2013-09-03vfs: allow umount to handle mountpoints without revalidating themJeff Layton
Christopher reported a regression where he was unable to unmount a NFS filesystem where the root had gone stale. The problem is that d_revalidate handles the root of the filesystem differently from other dentries, but d_weak_revalidate does not. We could simply fix this by making d_weak_revalidate return success on IS_ROOT dentries, but there are cases where we do want to revalidate the root of the fs. A umount is really a special case. We generally aren't interested in anything but the dentry and vfsmount that's attached at that point. If the inode turns out to be stale we just don't care since the intent is to stop using it anyway. Try to handle this situation better by treating umount as a special case in the lookup code. Have it resolve the parent using normal means, and then do a lookup of the final dentry without revalidating it. In most cases, the final lookup will come out of the dcache, but the case where there's a trailing symlink or !LAST_NORM entry on the end complicates things a bit.
