vboxfs: fix broken legacy mount signature checking

2021-09-27T18:26:21+00:00

Commit 9d682ea6bcc7 ("vboxsf: Fix the check for the old binary
mount-arguments struct") was meant to fix a build error due to sign
mismatch in 'char' and the use of character constants, but it just moved
the error elsewhere, in that on some architectures characters and signed
and on others they are unsigned, and that's just how the C standard
works.

The proper fix is a simple "don't do that then".  The code was just
being silly and odd, and it should never have cared about signed vs
unsigned characters in the first place, since what it is testing is not
four "characters", but four bytes.

And the way to compare four bytes is by using "memcmp()".

Which compilers will know to just turn into a single 32-bit compare with
a constant, as long as you don't have crazy debug options enabled.

vboxsf: Add support for the atomic_open directory-inode op

2021-06-23T12:36:52+00:00

Opening a new file is done in 2 steps on regular filesystems:

1. Call the create inode-op on the parent-dir to create an inode
to hold the meta-data related to the file.
2. Call the open file-op to get a handle for the file.

vboxsf however does not really use disk-backed inodes because it
is based on passing through file-related system-calls through to
the hypervisor. So both steps translate to an open(2) call being
passed through to the hypervisor. With the handle returned by
the first call immediately being closed again.

Making 2 open calls for a single open(..., O_CREATE, ...) calls
has 2 problems:

a) It is not really efficient.
b) It actually breaks some apps.

An example of b) is doing a git clone inside a vboxsf mount.
When git clone tries to create a tempfile to store the pak
files which is downloading the following happens:

1. vboxsf_dir_mkfile() gets called with a mode of 0444 and succeeds.
2. vboxsf_file_open() gets called with file->f_flags containing
O_RDWR. When the host is a Linux machine this fails because doing
a open(..., O_RDWR) on a file which exists and has mode 0444 results
in an -EPERM error.

Other network-filesystems and fuse avoid the problem of needing to
pass 2 open() calls to the other side by using the atomic_open
directory-inode op.

This commit fixes git clone not working inside a vboxsf mount,
by adding support for the atomic_open directory-inode op.
As an added bonus this should also make opening new files faster.

The atomic_open implementation is modelled after the atomic_open
implementations from the 9p and fuse code.

vboxsf: Add vboxsf_[create|release]_sf_handle() helpers

2021-06-23T12:36:46+00:00

Factor out the code to create / release a struct vboxsf_handle into
2 new helper functions.

This is a preparation patch for adding atomic_open support.

vboxsf: Make vboxsf_dir_create() return the handle for the created file

2021-06-23T12:36:41+00:00

Make vboxsf_dir_create() optionally return the vboxsf-handle for
the created file. This is a preparation patch for adding atomic_open
support.

vboxsf: Honor excl flag to the dir-inode create op

2021-06-23T12:36:36+00:00

Honor the excl flag to the dir-inode create op, instead of behaving
as if it is always set.

Note the old behavior still worked most of the time since a non-exclusive
open only calls the create op, if there is a race and the file is created
between the dentry lookup and the calling of the create call.

While at it change the type of the is_dir parameter to the
vboxsf_dir_create() helper from an int to a bool, to be consistent with
the use of bool for the excl parameter.

vboxsf: don't allow to change the inode type

2021-03-13T03:15:00+00:00

vboxsf_init_inode() is used both for initial setup of inode and for metadata
updates.  Tell it whether we are updating a live inode or setting up a new
instance and have it refuse to change type in the former case.

fs: make helpers idmap mount aware

2021-01-24T13:27:20+00:00

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.

As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

stat: handle idmapped mounts

2021-01-24T13:27:17+00:00

The generic_fillattr() helper fills in the basic attributes associated
with an inode. Enable it to handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is
accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the mount's user
namespace before we store the uid and gid. If the initial user namespace
is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical
behavior as before.
