fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support

2015-01-20T21:02:58+00:00

Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead.  Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device.  It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

fs: Mark function as static in exofs/super.c

2014-04-03T08:36:42+00:00

Mark function as static in exofs/super.c because it is not used outside
this file.

This also eliminates the following warning in exofs/super.c:
 fs/exofs/super.c:546:5: warning: no previous prototype \
 for __alloc_dev_table[-Wmissing-prototypes]

fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.

2013-03-04T03:36:31+00:00

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.

A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.

Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.

Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives.  Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.

This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work.  While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases.  The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.

This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.

After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module.  The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions.  In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted.  In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

fs: push rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() to filesystems

2012-10-03T01:35:55+00:00

There's no reason to call rcu_barrier() on every
deactivate_locked_super().  We only need to make sure that all delayed rcu
free inodes are flushed before we destroy related cache.

Removing rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() affects some fast
paths.  E.g.  on my machine exit_group() of a last process in IPC
namespace takes 0.07538s.  rcu_barrier() takes 0.05188s of that time.

exofs: stop using s_dirt

2012-08-02T11:52:13+00:00

Exofs has the '->write_super()' handler and makes some use of the '->s_dirt'
superblock flag, but it really needs neither of them because it never sets
's_dirt' to one which means the VFS never calls its '->write_super()' handler.
Thus, remove both.

Note, I am trying to remove both 's_dirt' and 'write_super()' from VFS
altogether once all users are gone.

exofs: Add SYSFS info for autologin/pNFS export

2012-05-21T09:24:01+00:00

Introduce sysfs infrastructure for exofs cluster filesystem.

Each OSD target shows up as below in the sysfs hierarchy:
	/sys/fs/exofs/_/devX

Where _ is the unique identification
of a Superblock.

Where devX: 0 <= X < device_table_size. They are ordered
in device-table order as specified to the mkfs.exofs command

Each OSD device  devX has following attributes :
	osdname - ReadOnly
	systemid - ReadOnly
	uri - Read/Write

It is up to user-mode to update devX/uri for support of
autologin.

These sysfs information are used both for autologin as well
as support for exporting exofs via a pNFSD server in user-mode.

exofs: Fix CRASH on very early IO errors.

2012-05-20T16:42:41+00:00

If at exofs_fill_super() we had an early termination
do to any error, like an IO error while reading the
super-block. We would crash inside exofs_free_sbi().

This is because sbi->oc.numdevs was set to 1, before
we actually have a device table at all.

Fix it by moving the sbi->oc.numdevs = 1 to after the
allocation of the device table.
