2012-01-12c/r: procfs: add start_data, end_data, start_brk members to /proc/$pid/stat v4Cyrill Gorcunov
The mm->start_code/end_code, mm->start_data/end_data, mm->start_brk are involved into calculation of program text/data segment sizes (which might be seen in /proc/<pid>/statm) and into brk() call final address. For restore we need to know all these values. While mm->start_code/end_code already present in /proc/$pid/stat, the rest members are not, so this patch brings them in. The restore procedure of these members is addressed in another patch using prctl().

2012-01-12ceph: enable/disable dentry complete flags via mount optionSage Weil
Enable/disable use of the dentry dir 'complete' flag via a mount option. This lets the admin control whether ceph uses the dcache to satisfy negative lookups or readdir when it has the entire directory contents in its cache. This is purely a performance optimization; correctness is guaranteed whether it is enabled or not. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

2012-01-10procfs: add hidepid= and gid= mount optionsVasiliy Kulikov
Add support for mount options to restrict access to /proc/PID/ directories. The default backward-compatible "relaxed" behaviour is left untouched. The first mount option is called "hidepid" and its value defines how much info about processes we want to be available for non-owners: hidepid=0 (default) means the old behavior - anybody may read all world-readable /proc/PID/* files. hidepid=1 means users may not access any /proc/<pid>/ directories, but their own. Sensitive files like cmdline, sched*, status are now protected against other users. As permission checking done in proc_pid_permission() and files' permissions are left untouched, programs expecting specific files' modes are not confused. hidepid=2 means hidepid=1 plus all /proc/PID/ will be invisible to other users. It doesn't mean that it hides whether a process exists (it can be learned by other means, e.g. by kill -0 $PID), but it hides process' euid and egid. It compicates intruder's task of gathering info about running processes, whether some daemon runs with elevated privileges, whether another user runs some sensitive program, whether other users run any program at all, etc. gid=XXX defines a group that will be able to gather all processes' info (as in hidepid=0 mode). This group should be used instead of putting nonroot user in sudoers file or something. However, untrusted users (like daemons, etc.) which are not supposed to monitor the tasks in the whole system should not be added to the group. hidepid=1 or higher is designed to restrict access to procfs files, which might reveal some sensitive private information like precise keystrokes timings: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2011/11/05/3 hidepid=1/2 doesn't break monitoring userspace tools. ps, top, pgrep, and conky gracefully handle EPERM/ENOENT and behave as if the current user is the only user running processes. pstree shows the process subtree which contains "pstree" process. Note: the patch doesn't deal with setuid/setgid issues of keeping preopened descriptors of procfs files (like https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/7/368). We rely on that the leaked information like the scheduling counters of setuid apps doesn't threaten anybody's privacy - only the user started the setuid program may read the counters.

2012-01-04ext4: add new online resize interfaceYongqiang Yang
This patch adds new online resize interface, whose input argument is a 64-bit integer indicating how many blocks there are in the resized fs. In new resize impelmentation, all work like allocating group tables are done by kernel side, so the new resize interface can support flex_bg feature and prepares ground for suppoting resize with features like bigalloc and exclude bitmap. Besides these, user-space tools just passes in the new number of blocks. We delay initializing the bitmaps and inode tables of added groups if possible and add multi groups (a flex groups) each time, so new resize is very fast like mkfs.

2011-11-02vfs: add d_prune dentry operationSage Weil
This adds a d_prune dentry operation that is called by the VFS prior to pruning (i.e. unhashing and killing) a hashed dentry from the dcache. Wrap dentry_lru_del() and use the new _prune() helper in the cases where we are about to unhash and kill the dentry. This will be used by Ceph to maintain a flag indicating whether the complete contents of a directory are contained in the dcache, allowing it to satisfy lookups and readdir without addition server communication.

2011-09-03ext4: improve handling of conflicting mount optionsTheodore Ts'o
If the user explicitly specifies conflicting mount options for delalloc or dioread_nolock and data=journal, fail the mount, instead of printing a warning and continuing (since many user's won't look at dmesg and notice the warning). Also, print a single warning that data=journal implies that delayed allocation is not on by default (since it's not supported), and furthermore that O_DIRECT is not supported. Improve the text in Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt so this is clear there as well. Similarly, if the dioread_nolock mount option is specified when the file system block size != PAGE_SIZE, fail the mount instead of printing a warning message and ignoring the mount option.

2011-07-25fs: take the ACL checks to common codeChristoph Hellwig
Replace the ->check_acl method with a ->get_acl method that simply reads an ACL from disk after having a cache miss. This means we can replace the ACL checking boilerplate code with a single implementation in namei.c. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-25ext3.txt: update the links in the section "useful links" to the latest onesWang Sheng-Hui
In Documentation/filesystems/ext3.txt, the section "useful links" provides two links which link to ibm developerworks articles. While the second one can be redirected to the latest one, the first one http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-fs7.html fails to be redirected. Update the 2 links to the latest ones.
