Use crypto apis to generate smb signagtures also. Use hmac-md5 to genereate ntlmv2 hash, ntlmv2 response, and HMAC (CR1 of ntlmv2 auth blob. User crypto apis to genereate signature and to verify signature. md5 hash is used to calculate signature. Use secondary key to calculate signature in case of ntlmssp. For ntlmv2 within ntlmssp, during signature calculation, only 16 bytes key (a nonce) stored within session key is used. during smb signature calculation. For ntlm and ntlmv2 without extended security, 16 bytes key as well as entire response (24 bytes in case of ntlm and variable length in case of ntlmv2) is used for smb signature calculation. For kerberos, there is no distinction between key and response.

2010-10-26IMA: move read counter into struct inodeEric Paris
IMA currently allocated an inode integrity structure for every inode in core. This stucture is about 120 bytes long. Most files however (especially on a system which doesn't make use of IMA) will never need any of this space. The problem is that if IMA is enabled we need to know information about the number of readers and the number of writers for every inode on the box. At the moment we collect that information in the per inode iint structure and waste the rest of the space. This patch moves those counters into the struct inode so we can eventually stop allocating an IMA integrity structure except when absolutely needed. This patch does the minimum needed to move the location of the data. Further cleanups, especially the location of counter updates, may still be possible.

2010-10-26NTLM auth and sign - Define crypto hash functions and create and send keys ↵Shirish Pargaonkar
needed for key exchange Mark dependency on crypto modules in Kconfig. Defining per structures sdesc and cifs_secmech which are used to store crypto hash functions and contexts. They are stored per smb connection and used for all auth mechs to genereate hash values and signatures. Allocate crypto hashing functions, security descriptiors, and respective contexts when a smb/tcp connection is established. Release them when a tcp/smb connection is taken down. md5 and hmac-md5 are two crypto hashing functions that are used throught the life of an smb/tcp connection by various functions that calcualte signagure and ntlmv2 hash, HMAC etc. structure ntlmssp_auth is defined as per smb connection. ntlmssp_auth holds ciphertext which is genereated by rc4/arc4 encryption of secondary key, a nonce using ntlmv2 session key and sent in the session key field of the type 3 message sent by the client during ntlmssp negotiation/exchange A key is exchanged with the server if client indicates so in flags in type 1 messsage and server agrees in flag in type 2 message of ntlmssp negotiation. If both client and agree, a key sent by client in type 3 message of ntlmssp negotiation in the session key field. The key is a ciphertext generated off of secondary key, a nonce, using ntlmv2 hash via rc4/arc4. Signing works for ntlmssp in this patch. The sequence number within the server structure needs to be zero until session is established i.e. till type 3 packet of ntlmssp exchange of a to be very first smb session on that smb connection is sent.

Start calculating auth response within a session. Move/Add pertinet data structures like session key, server challenge and ntlmv2_hash in a session structure. We should do the calculations within a session before copying session key and response over to server data structures because a session setup can fail. Only after a very first smb session succeeds, it copy/make its session key, session key of smb connection. This key stays with the smb connection throughout its life. sequence_number within server is set to 0x2. The authentication Message Authentication Key (mak) which consists of session key followed by client response within structure session_key is now dynamic. Every authentication type allocates the key + response sized memory within its session structure and later either assigns or frees it once the client response is sent and if session's session key becomes connetion's session key. ntlm/ntlmi authentication functions are rearranged. A function named setup_ntlm_resp(), similar to setup_ntlmv2_resp(), replaces function cifs_calculate_session_key(). size of CIFS_SESS_KEY_SIZE is changed to 16, to reflect the byte size of the key it holds.

2010-10-26Btrfs: remove warn_on from use_block_rsvJosef Bacik
Because btrfs_dirty_inode does a btrfs_join_transaction, it doesn't actually reserve space. It does this so we can try and dirty the inode quickly without having to deal with the ENOSPC problems. But if it does get back ENOSPC it handles it properly. The problem is use_block_rsv does a WARN_ON whenever this case happens, even tho btrfs_dirty_inode takes it into account and actually expects to get -ENOSPC if things are particularly tight. So instead just remove the warning. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>

2010-10-25fs: Implement lazy LRU updates for inodesNick Piggin
Convert the inode LRU to use lazy updates to reduce lock and cacheline traffic. We avoid moving inodes around in the LRU list during iget/iput operations so these frequent operations don't need to access the LRUs. Instead, we defer the refcount checks to reclaim-time and use a per-inode state flag, I_REFERENCED, to tell reclaim that iget has touched the inode in the past. This means that only reclaim should be touching the LRU with any frequency, hence significantly reducing lock acquisitions and the amount contention on LRU updates. This also removes the inode_in_use list, which means we now only have one list for tracking the inode LRU status. This makes it much simpler to split out the LRU list operations under it's own lock.

2010-10-25ntfs: don't call invalidate_inodes()Al Viro
We are in fill_super(); again, no inodes with zero i_count could be around until we set MS_ACTIVE. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2010-10-25gfs2: invalidate_inodes() is no-op thereAl Viro
In fill_super() we hadn't MS_ACTIVE set yet, so there won't be any inodes with zero i_count sitting around. In put_super() we already have MS_ACTIVE removed *and* we had called invalidate_inodes() since then. So again there won't be any inodes with zero i_count...

2010-10-25ext2_remount: don't bother with invalidate_inodes()Al Viro
It's pointless - we *do* have busy inodes (root directory, for one), so that call will fail and attempt to change XIP flag will be ignored. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
