nfsd: Fix sort_pacl in fs/nfsd/nf4acl.c to actually sort groups

2010-01-28T23:01:13+00:00

commit aba24d71580180dfdf6a1a83a5858a1c048fd785 upstream.

We have been doing some extensive testing of Linux support for ACLs on
NFDS v4. We have noticed that the server rejects ACLs where the groups
are out of order, for example, the following ACL is rejected:

A::OWNER@:rwaxtTcCy
A::user101@domain:rwaxtcy
A::GROUP@:rwaxtcy
A:g:group102@domain:rwaxtcy
A:g:group101@domain:rwaxtcy
A::EVERYONE@:rwaxtcy

Examining the server code, I found that after converting an NFS v4 ACL
to POSIX, sort_pacl is called to sort the user ACEs and group ACEs.
Unfortunately, a minor bug causes the group sort to be skipped.

nfsd: make sure data is on disk before calling ->fsync

2010-01-18T18:19:18+00:00

commit 7211a4e859ad070b28545c06e0a6cb60b3b8aa31 upstream.

nfsd is not using vfs_fsync, so I missed it when changing the calling
convention during the 2.6.32 window.  This patch fixes it to not only
start the data writeout, but also wait for it to complete before calling
into ->fsync.

Fix memory corruption caused by nfsd readdir+

2009-11-14T20:55:55+00:00

Commit 8177e6d6dfb9cd03d9bdeb647c32161f8f58f686 ("nfsd: clean up
readdirplus encoding") introduced single character typo in nfs3 readdir+
implementation.  Unfortunately that typo has quite bad side effects:
random memory corruption, followed (on my box) with immediate
spontaneous box reboot.

Using 'p1' instead of 'p' fixes my Linux box rebooting whenever VMware
ESXi box tries to list contents of my home directory.

headers: utsname.h redux

2009-09-24T01:13:10+00:00

* remove asm/atomic.h inclusion from linux/utsname.h --
   not needed after kref conversion
 * remove linux/utsname.h inclusion from files which do not need it

NOTE: it looks like fs/binfmt_elf.c do not need utsname.h, however
due to some personality stuff it _is_ needed -- cowardly leave ELF-related
headers and files alone.

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.
