AFS: Implement an autocell mount capability [ver #2]

2010-08-11T17:11:29+00:00

Implement the ability for the root directory of a mounted AFS filesystem to
accept lookups of arbitrary directory names, to interpet the names as the names
of cells, to look the cell names up in the DNS for AFSDB records and to mount
the root.cell volume of the nominated cell on the pseudo-directory created by
lookup.

This facility is requested by passing:

	-o autocell

to the mountpoint for which this is desired, usually the /afs mount.

To use this facility, a DNS upcall program is required for AFSDB records.  This
can be obtained from:

	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/afs/dns.afsdb.c

It should be compiled with -lresolv and -lkeyutils and installed as, say:

	/usr/sbin/dns.afsdb

Then the following line needs to be added to /sbin/request-key.conf:

	create	dns_resolver afsdb:*	*	/usr/sbin/dns.afsdb %k

This can be tested by mounting AFS, say:

	insmod dns_resolver.ko
	insmod af-rxrpc.ko
	insmod kafs.ko rootcell=grand.central.org
	mount -t afs "#grand.central.org:root.cell." /afs -o autocell

and doing:

	ls /afs/grand.central.org/

which should show:

	archive/  cvs/  doc/  local/  project/  service/  software/  user/  www/

if it works.

seq_file: constify seq_operations

2009-09-23T14:39:29+00:00

Make all seq_operations structs const, to help mitigate against
revectoring user-triggerable function pointers.

This is derived from the grsecurity patch, although generated from scratch
because it's simpler than extracting the changes from there.

proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner

2009-03-30T21:14:44+00:00

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.

We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.

But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.

->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.

rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.

Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

So, let's nuke it.

Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

afs: use non-racy method for proc entries creation

This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- make the following needlessly global functions static:
  - rxrpc.c: afs_send_pages()
  - vlocation.c: afs_vlocation_queue_for_updates()
  - write.c: afs_writepages_region()
- make the following needlessly global variables static:
  - mntpt.c: afs_mntpt_expiry_timeout
  - proc.c: afs_vlocation_states[]
  - server.c: afs_server_timeout
  - vlocation.c: afs_vlocation_timeout
  - vlocation.c: afs_vlocation_update_timeout
- #if 0 the following unused function:
  - cell.c: afs_get_cell_maybe()
- #if 0 the following unused variables:
  - callback.c: afs_vnode_update_timeout
  - cmservice.c: struct afs_cm_workqueue

Detach sched.h from mm.h

2007-05-21T16:18:19+00:00

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Cross-compile tested on

	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
	alpha alpha-up
	arm
	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig
	ia64 ia64-up
	m68k
	mips
	parisc parisc-up
	powerpc powerpc-up
	s390 s390-up

	sparc64 sparc64-up
	um-x86_64
	x86_64 x86_64-up x86_64-defconfig x86_64-allnoconfig

as well as my two usual configs.
