9ade0cf Eric Paris 25 April 2011, 20:26:29 UTC SELINUX: Make selinux cache VFS RCU walks safe Now that the security modules can decide whether they support the dcache RCU walk or not it's possible to make selinux a bit more RCU friendly. The SELinux AVC and security server access decision code is RCU safe. A specific piece of the LSM audit code may not be RCU safe. This patch makes the VFS RCU walk retry if it would hit the non RCU safe chunk of code. It will normally just work under RCU. This is done simply by passing the VFS RCU state as a flag down into the avc_audit() code and returning ECHILD there if it would have an issue.

1879fd6 Christoph Hellwig 25 April 2011, 18:01:36 UTC add hlist_bl_lock/unlock helpers Now that the whole dcache_hash_bucket crap is gone, go all the way and also remove the weird locking layering violations for locking the hash buckets. Add hlist_bl_lock/unlock helpers to move the locking into the list abstraction instead of requiring each caller to open code it. After all allowing for the bit locks is the whole point of these helpers over the plain hlist variant.

5be79de Tyler Hicks 22 April 2011, 18:08:00 UTC eCryptfs: Flush dirty pages in setattr After 57db4e8d73ef2b5e94a3f412108dff2576670a8a changed eCryptfs to write-back caching, eCryptfs page writeback updates the lower inode times due to the use of vfs_write() on the lower file. To preserve inode metadata changes, such as 'cp -p' does with utimensat(), we need to flush all dirty pages early in ecryptfs_setattr() so that the user-updated lower inode metadata isn't clobbered later in writeback. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33372 Reported-by: Rocko <rockorequin@hotmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com> 25 April 2011, 23:49:46 UTC
3aeb86e Tyler Hicks 15 March 2011, 19:54:00 UTC eCryptfs: Handle failed metadata read in lookup When failing to read the lower file's crypto metadata during a lookup, eCryptfs must continue on without throwing an error. For example, there may be a plaintext file in the lower mount point that the user wants to delete through the eCryptfs mount. If an error is encountered while reading the metadata in lookup(), the eCryptfs inode's size could be incorrect. We must be sure to reread the plaintext inode size from the metadata when performing an open() or setattr(). The metadata is already being read in those paths, so this adds minimal performance overhead. This patch introduces a flag which will track whether or not the plaintext inode size has been read so that an incorrect i_size can be fixed in the open() or setattr() paths. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/509180 Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com> 25 April 2011, 23:45:06 UTC
332ab16 Tyler Hicks 14 April 2011, 20:35:11 UTC eCryptfs: Add reference counting to lower files For any given lower inode, eCryptfs keeps only one lower file open and multiplexes all eCryptfs file operations through that lower file. The lower file was considered "persistent" and stayed open from the first lookup through the lifetime of the inode. This patch keeps the notion of a single, per-inode lower file, but adds reference counting around the lower file so that it is closed when not currently in use. If the reference count is at 0 when an operation (such as open, create, etc.) needs to use the lower file, a new lower file is opened. Since the file is no longer persistent, all references to the term persistent file are changed to lower file. Locking is added around the sections of code that opens the lower file and assign the pointer in the inode info, as well as the code the fputs the lower file when all eCryptfs users are done with it. This patch is needed to fix issues, when mounted on top of the NFSv3 client, where the lower file is left silly renamed until the eCryptfs inode is destroyed.

However, this broke the test for user input of the form 'N?', because when kconfig selects the single valid option the input is zero-length and the test will read the byte before the input buffer. If this happens to contain '?' (as it will in a mips build on Debian unstable today) then kconfig again enters an infinite loop.

dea3667 Linus Torvalds 24 April 2011, 14:58:46 UTC vfs: get rid of insane dentry hashing rules The dentry hashing rules have been really quite complicated for a long while, in odd ways. That made functions like __d_drop() very fragile and non-obvious. In particular, whether a dentry was hashed or not was indicated with an explicit DCACHE_UNHASHED bit. That's despite the fact that the hash abstraction that the dentries use actually have a 'is this entry hashed or not' model (which is a simple test of the 'pprev' pointer). The reason that was done is because we used the normal 'is this entry unhashed' model to mark whether the dentry had _ever_ been hashed in the dentry hash tables, and that logic goes back many years (commit b3423415fbc2: "dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentries"). That, in turn, meant that __d_drop had totally different unhashing logic for the dentry hash table case and for the anonymous dcache case, because in order to use the "is this dentry hashed" logic as a flag for whether it had ever been on the RCU hash table, we had to unhash such a dentry differently so that we'd never think that it wasn't 'unhashed' and wouldn't be free'd correctly. That's just insane. It made the logic really hard to follow, when there were two different kinds of "unhashed" states, and one of them (the one that used "list_bl_unhashed()") really had nothing at all to do with being unhashed per se, but with a very subtle lifetime rule instead. So turn all of it around, and make it logical. Instead of having a DENTRY_UNHASHED bit in d_flags to indicate whether the dentry is on the hash chains or not, use the hash chain unhashed logic for that. Suddenly "d_unhashed()" just uses "list_bl_unhashed()", and everything makes sense. And for the lifetime rule, just use an explicit DENTRY_RCUACCEES bit. If we ever insert the dentry into the dentry hash table so that it is visible to RCU lookup, we mark it DENTRY_RCUACCESS to show that it now needs the RCU lifetime rules. Now suddently that test at dentry free time makes sense too. And because unhashing now is sane and doesn't depend on where the dentry got unhashed from (because the dentry hash chain details doesn't have some subtle side effects), we can re-unify the __d_drop() logic and use common code for the unhashing. Also fix one more open-coded hash chain bit_spin_lock() that I missed in the previous chain locking cleanup commit.

b07ad99 Linus Torvalds 24 April 2011, 05:32:03 UTC vfs: get rid of 'struct dcache_hash_bucket' abstraction It's a useless abstraction for 'hlist_bl_head', and it doesn't actually help anything - quite the reverse. All the users end up having to know about the hlist_bl_head details anyway, using 'struct hlist_bl_node *' etc. So it just makes the code look confusing. And the cost of it is extra '&b->head' syntactic noise, but more importantly it spuriously makes the hash table dentry list look different from the per-superblock DCACHE_DISCONNECTED dentry list. As a result, the code ended up using ad-hoc locking for one case and special helper functions for what is really another totally identical case in the very same function. Make it all look and work the same. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 24 April 2011, 05:32:03 UTC

b52c55c Ingo Molnar 22 April 2011, 06:44:38 UTC x86, perf event: Turn off unstructured raw event access to offcore registers Andi Kleen pointed out that the Intel offcore support patches were merged without user-space tool support to the functionality: | | The offcore_msr perf kernel code was merged into 2.6.39-rc*, but the | user space bits were not. This made it impossible to set the extra mask | and actually do the OFFCORE profiling | Andi submitted a preliminary patch for user-space support, as an extension to perf's raw event syntax: | | Some raw events -- like the Intel OFFCORE events -- support additional | parameters. These can be appended after a ':'. | | For example on a multi socket Intel Nehalem: | | perf stat -e r1b7:20ff -a sleep 1 | | Profile the OFFCORE_RESPONSE.ANY_REQUEST with event mask REMOTE_DRAM_0 | that measures any access to DRAM on another socket. | But this kind of usability is absolutely unacceptable - users should not be expected to type in magic, CPU and model specific incantations to get access to useful hardware functionality. The proper solution is to expose useful offcore functionality via generalized events - that way users do not have to care which specific CPU model they are using, they can use the conceptual event and not some model specific quirky hexa number. We already have such generalization in place for CPU cache events, and it's all very extensible. "Offcore" events measure general DRAM access patters along various parameters. They are particularly useful in NUMA systems. We want to support them via generalized DRAM events: either as the fourth level of cache (after the last-level cache), or as a separate generalization category. That way user-space support would be very obvious, memory access profiling could be done via self-explanatory commands like: perf record -e dram ./myapp perf record -e dram-remote ./myapp ... to measure DRAM accesses or more expensive cross-node NUMA DRAM accesses. These generalized events would work on all CPUs and architectures that have comparable PMU features. ( Note, these are just examples: actual implementation could have more sophistication and more parameter - as long as they center around similarly simple usecases. ) Now we do not want to revert *all* of the current offcore bits, as they are still somewhat useful for generic last-level-cache events, implemented in this commit: e994d7d23a0b: perf: Fix LLC-* events on Intel Nehalem/Westmere But we definitely do not yet want to expose the unstructured raw events to user-space, until better generalization and usability is implemented for these hardware event features. ( Note: after generalization has been implemented raw offcore events can be supported as well: there can always be an odd event that is marginally useful but not useful enough to generalize. DRAM profiling is definitely *not* such a category so generalization must be done first. ) Furthermore, PERF_TYPE_RAW access to these registers was not intended to go upstream without proper support - it was a side-effect of the above e994d7d23a0b commit, not mentioned in the changelog. As v2.6.39 is nearing release we go for the simplest approach: disable the PERF_TYPE_RAW offcore hack for now, before it escapes into a released kernel and becomes an ABI. Once proper structure is implemented for these hardware events and users are offered usable solutions we can revisit this issue.

Some legacy drivers don't implement proper event detection and continuously generate events under certain circumstances. For example, ide-cd generates media changed continuously if there's no media in the drive, which can lead to infinite loop of events jumping back and forth between the driver and userland event handler. This patch updates disk event infrastructure such that it never propagates events not listed in disk->events to userland. Those events are processed the same for internal purposes but uevent generation is suppressed. This also ensures that userland only gets events which are advertised in the @events sysfs node lowering risk of confusion.

When the port is finally released (close() called), we call device_destroy() on the port's device. This results in the parent device's structures to be freed as well. This includes the PCI regions for the virtio-console PCI device. Once this is done, however, virtio_pci_release_dev() kicks in, as the last ref to the virtio device is now gone, and attempts to do pci_iounmap(pci_dev, vp_dev->ioaddr); pci_release_regions(pci_dev); pci_disable_device(pci_dev); which results in a double-free warning. Move the code that releases regions, etc., to the virtio_pci_remove() function, and all that's now left in release_dev is the final freeing of the vp_dev.

51a63e6 Joseph Cihula 21 March 2011, 18:04:24 UTC intel_iommu: disable all VT-d PMRs when TXT launched Intel VT-d Protected Memory Regions (PMRs) are supposed to be disabled, on each VT-d engine, after DMA remapping is enabled on the engines. This is because the behavior of having both enabled is not deterministic and because, if TXT has been used to launch the kernel, the PMRs may be programmed to cover memory regions that will be used for DMA. Under some circumstances (certain quirks detected, lack of multiple devices, etc.), the current code does not set up DMA remapping on some VT-d engines. In such cases it also skips disabling the PMRs. This causes failures when the kernel is launched with TXT (most often this occurs on the graphics engine and results in colored vertical bars on the display). This patch detects when the kernel has been launched with TXT and then disables the PMRs on all VT-d engines. In some cases where the reason that remapping is not being enabled is due to possible ACPI DMAR table errors, the VT-d engine addresses may not be correct and thus not able to be safely programmed even to disable PMRs. Because part of the TXT launch process is the verification of these addresses, it will always be safe to disable PMRs if the TXT launch has succeeded and hence only doing this in such cases.

6e0d9fd Artem Bityutskiy 21 April 2011, 11:49:55 UTC UBIFS: fix master node recovery This patch fixes the following symptoms: 1. Unmount UBIFS cleanly. 2. Start mounting UBIFS R/W and have a power cut immediately 3. Start mounting UBIFS R/O, this succeeds 4. Try to re-mount UBIFS R/W - this fails immediately or later on, because UBIFS will write the master node to the flash area which has been written before. The analysis of the problem: 1. UBIFS is unmounted cleanly, both copies of the master node are clean. 2. UBIFS is being mounter R/W, starts changing master node copy 1, and a power cut happens. The copy N1 becomes corrupted. 3. UBIFS is being mounted R/O. It notices the copy N1 is corrupted and reads copy N2. Copy N2 is clean. 4. Because of R/O mode, UBIFS cannot recover copy 1. 5. The mount code (ubifs_mount()) sees that the master node is clean, so it decides that no recovery is needed. 6. We are re-mounting R/W. UBIFS believes no recovery is needed and starts updating the master node, but copy N1 is still corrupted and was not recovered! Fix this problem by marking the master node as dirty every time we recover it and we are in R/O mode. This forces further recovery and the UBIFS cleans-up the corruptions and recovers the copy N1 when re-mounting R/W later.

NUMA emulation should bind each cpu to every local node to accurately represent the true NUMA topology of the underlying machine. debug_cpumask_set_cpu() needs to be fixed at the same time so that the debugging information that it emits shows the new cpumask of the node being assigned when the cpu is being added or removed. It can now take responsibility of setting or clearing the cpu itself to remove the need for duplicate code. Also change its last parameter, "enable", to have the correct bool type since it can only be true or false. -v2: Fix the return statements, by Kosaki Motohiro Acked-and-Tested-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Andreas Herrmann <herrmann.der.user@googlemail.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.00.1104201918470.12634@chino.kir.corp.google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> 21 April 2011, 09:31:00 UTC

8c230d9 Artem Bityutskiy 20 April 2011, 15:02:45 UTC UBIFS: fix false space checking failure This patch fixes UBIFS mount failure when the debugging support is enabled, we are recovering from a power cut, we were first mounter R/O and we are re-mounting R/W. In this case we should not assume that the amount of free space before we have re-mounted R/W and after are equivalent, because when we have mounted R/O the file-system is in a non-committed state so the amount of free space is slightly smaller, due to the fact that we cannot predict the amount of free space precisely before we commit. This patch fixes the issue by skipping the debugging check in case of recovery.

1574dff Sachin Prabhu 20 April 2011, 12:09:35 UTC Open with O_CREAT flag set fails to open existing files on non writable directories An open on a NFS4 share using the O_CREAT flag on an existing file for which we have permissions to open but contained in a directory with no write permissions will fail with EACCES. A tcpdump shows that the client had set the open mode to UNCHECKED which indicates that the file should be created if it doesn't exist and encountering an existing flag is not an error. Since in this case the file exists and can be opened by the user, the NFS server is wrong in attempting to check create permissions on the parent directory. The patch adds a conditional statement to check for create permissions only if the file doesn't exist. Signed-off-by: Sachin S. Prabhu <sprabhu@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J.

ee17645 Stefano Stabellini 19 April 2011, 13:47:31 UTC xen: mask_rw_pte: do not apply the early_ioremap checks on x86_32 The two "is_early_ioremap_ptep" checks in mask_rw_pte are only used on x86_64, in fact early_ioremap is not used at all to setup the initial pagetable on x86_32. Moreover on x86_32 the two checks are wrong because the range pgt_buf_start..pgt_buf_end initially should be mapped RW because the pages in the range are not pagetable pages yet and haven't been cleared yet. Afterwards considering the pgt_buf_start..pgt_buf_end is part of the initial mapping, xen_alloc_pte is capable of turning the ptes RO when they become pagetable pages. Fix the issue and improve the readability of the code providing two different implementation of mask_rw_pte for x86_32 and x86_64.

As a last step of CRC calculation it call gsm->fcs = gsm_fcs_add(gsm->fcs, gsm->received_fcs); This work perfectly for the case of GSM0 mode as gsm->received_fcs contain the last piece of data required to generate final CRC. gsm->received_fcs is not used for GSM1 mode.
