2010-08-02cifs: add separate cred_uid field to sesInfoJeff Layton
Right now, there's no clear separation between the uid that owns the credentials used to do the mount and the overriding owner of the files on that mount. Add a separate cred_uid field that is set to the real uid of the mount user. Unlike the linux_uid, the uid= option does not override this parameter. The parm is sent to cifs.upcall, which can then preferentially use the creduid= parm instead of the uid= parm for finding credentials. This is not the only way to solve this. We could try to do all of this in kernel instead by having a module parameter that affects what gets passed in the uid= field of the upcall. That said, we have a lot more flexibility to change things in userspace so I think it probably makes sense to do it this way.

2010-08-02cifs: add mount option to enable local cachingSuresh Jayaraman
Add a mount option 'fsc' to enable local caching on CIFS. I considered adding a separate debug bit for caching, but it appears that debugging would be relatively easier with the normal CIFS_INFO level. As the cifs-utils (userspace) changes are not done yet, this patch enables 'fsc' by default to enable testing.

2010-08-02cifs: define inode-level cache object and register themSuresh Jayaraman
Define inode-level data storage objects (managed by cifsInodeInfo structs). Each inode-level object is created in a super-block level object and is itself a data storage object in to which pages from the inode are stored. The inode object is keyed by UniqueId. The coherency data being used is LastWriteTime, LastChangeTime and end of file reported by the server.

2010-08-02cifs: clean up cifs_find_smb_ses (try #2)Jeff Layton
This patch replaces the earlier patch by the same name. The only difference is that MAX_PASSWORD_SIZE has been increased to attempt to match the limits that windows enforces. Do a better job of matching sessions by authtype. Matching by username for a Kerberos session is incorrect, and anonymous sessions need special handling. Also, in the case where we do match by username, we also need to match by password. That ensures that someone else doesn't "borrow" an existing session without needing to know the password. Finally, passwords can be longer than 16 bytes. Bump MAX_PASSWORD_SIZE to 512 to match the size that the userspace mount helper allows.

2010-08-02cifs: set the port in sockaddr in a more clearly defined fashionJeff Layton
This patch should replace the patch I sent a couple of weeks ago to set the port in cifs_convert_address. Currently we set this in cifs_find_tcp_session, but that's more of a side effect than anything. Add a new function called cifs_fill_sockaddr. Have it call cifs_convert_address and then set the port. This also allows us to skip passing in the port as a separate parm to cifs_find_tcp_session. Also, change cifs_convert_address take a struct sockaddr * rather than void * to make it clearer how this function should be called.

2010-07-30mm: fix ia64 crash when gcore reads gate areaHugh Dickins
Debian's ia64 autobuilders have been seeing kernel freeze or reboot when running the gdb testsuite (Debian bug 588574): dannf bisected to 2.6.32 62eede62dafb4a6633eae7ffbeb34c60dba5e7b1 "mm: ZERO_PAGE without PTE_SPECIAL"; and reproduced it with gdb's gcore on a simple target. I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page), yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer. Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change, but let's not risk it without testing exposure. Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages? Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages.

2010-07-30ARM: 6279/1: highmem: fix SMP preemption bug in kmap_high_l1_viptGary King
smp_processor_id() must not be called from a preemptible context (this is checked by CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT). kmap_high_l1_vipt() was doing so. This lead to a problem where the wrong per_cpu kmap_high_l1_vipt_depth could be incremented, causing a BUG_ON(*depth <= 0); in kunmap_high_l1_vipt().

2010-07-30nfs: include space for the NUL in root pathDan Carpenter
In root_nfs_name() it does the following: if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) > NFS_MAXPATHLEN) { printk(KERN_ERR "Root-NFS: Pathname for remote directory too long.\n"); return -1; } sprintf(nfs_export_path, buf, cp); In the original code if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) == NFS_MAXPATHLEN) then the sprintf() would lead to an overflow. Generally the rest of the code assumes that the path can have NFS_MAXPATHLEN (1024) characters and a NUL terminator so the fix is to add space to the nfs_export_path[] buffer.

2010-07-29CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner commentDavid Howells
Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation condition: lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held() as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held. Instead, add the following validation condition: task->exit_state >= 0 to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change its own credentials. Fix __task_cred()'s comment to: (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task from being deleted. That shouldn't need saying. (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used instead. Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Paul E.

2010-07-29CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead credentialsDavid Howells
It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the task being accessed. What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds(): TASK_1 TASK_2 RCU_CLEANER -->get_task_cred(TASK_2) rcu_read_lock() __cred = __task_cred(TASK_2) -->commit_creds() old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred TASK_2->real_cred = ... put_cred(old_cred) call_rcu(old_cred) [__cred->usage == 0] get_cred(__cred) [__cred->usage == 1] rcu_read_unlock() -->put_cred_rcu() [__cred->usage == 1] panic() However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero. If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU cleanup code. We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the same problem. Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be, for example: kernel BUG at kernel/cred.c:168! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run CPU 0 Pid: 2436, comm: master Not tainted 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64 #1 0HR330/OptiPlex 745 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81069881>] [<ffffffff81069881>] __put_cred+0xc/0x45 RSP: 0018:ffff88019e7e9eb8 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffff880161514480 RCX: 00000000ffffffff RDX: 00000000ffffffff RSI: ffff880140c690c0 RDI: ffff880140c690c0 RBP: ffff88019e7e9eb8 R08: 00000000000000d0 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000040 R12: ffff880140c690c0 R13: ffff88019e77aea0 R14: 00007fff336b0a5c R15: 0000000000000001 FS: 00007f12f50d97c0(0000) GS:ffff880007400000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f8f461bc000 CR3: 00000001b26ce000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process master (pid: 2436, threadinfo ffff88019e7e8000, task ffff88019e77aea0) Stack: ffff88019e7e9ec8 ffffffff810698cd ffff88019e7e9ef8 ffffffff81069b45 <0> ffff880161514180 ffff880161514480 ffff880161514180 0000000000000000 <0> ffff88019e7e9f28 ffffffff8106aace 0000000000000001 0000000000000246 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810698cd>] put_cred+0x13/0x15 [<ffffffff81069b45>] commit_creds+0x16b/0x175 [<ffffffff8106aace>] set_current_groups+0x47/0x4e [<ffffffff8106ac89>] sys_setgroups+0xf6/0x105 [<ffffffff81009b02>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 48 8d 71 ff e8 7e 4e 15 00 85 c0 78 0b 8b 75 ec 48 89 df e8 ef 4a 15 00 48 83 c4 18 5b c9 c3 55 8b 07 8b 07 48 89 e5 85 c0 74 04 <0f> 0b eb fe 65 48 8b 04 25 00 cc 00 00 48 3b b8 58 04 00 00 75 RIP [<ffffffff81069881>] __put_cred+0xc/0x45 RSP <ffff88019e7e9eb8> ---[ end trace df391256a100ebdd ]--- Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

LKML discussions led to the conclusion that such barriers have to be added to the I/O accessors: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/683509/focus=686153 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/46414 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/5250 This patch introduces a wmb() barrier to the write*() I/O accessors to handle the situations where Normal Non-cacheable writes are still in the processor (or L2 cache controller) write buffer before a DMA transfer command is issued. For the read*() accessors, a rmb() is introduced after the I/O to avoid speculative loads where the driver polls for a DMA transfer ready bit.

2010-07-29ARM: 6272/1: Convert L2x0 to use the IO relaxed operationsCatalin Marinas
This patch is in preparation for a subsequent patch which adds barriers to the I/O accessors. Since the mandatory barriers may do an L2 cache sync, this patch avoids a recursive call into l2x0_cache_sync() via the write*() accessors and wmb() and a call into l2x0_cache_sync() with the l2x0_lock held.

2010-07-29ARM: 6271/1: Introduce *_relaxed() I/O accessorsCatalin Marinas
This patch introduces readl*_relaxed()/write*_relaxed() as the main I/O accessors (when __mem_pci is defined). The standard read*()/write*() macros are now based on the relaxed accessors. This patch is in preparation for a subsequent patch which adds barriers to the I/O accessors.
