xattr handlers: plug a lock leak in simple_xattr_list

2016-02-20T05:15:51+00:00

The code could leak xattrs->lock on error.

Problem introduced with 786534b92f3ce68f4 "tmpfs: listxattr should
include POSIX ACL xattrs".

wrappers for ->i_mutex access

2016-01-22T23:04:28+00:00

parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested},
inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).

Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held
only shared.

Merge branch 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2016-01-13T01:11:47+00:00

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "All kinds of stuff.  That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
  branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
  had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.

  Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
  switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
  of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
  cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.

  One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
  lookup_one_len_unlocked().  Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
  called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it.  That, of
  course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
  but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
  with that.  I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
  changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough...  I
  *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
  and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
  taken shared.

  There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
  of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
  ->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
  inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested().  To quote Linus back then:

    -----
    |    This is an automated patch using
    |
    |        sed 's/mutex_lock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_unlock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_lock_nested(&\(.*\)->i_mutex,[     ]*I_MUTEX_\([A-Z0-9_]*\))/inode_lock_nested(\1, I_MUTEX_\2)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_is_locked(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_is_locked(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_trylock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
    |
    |    with a very few manual fixups
    -----

  I'm going to send that once the ->i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
  gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
  merges)"

xattr handlers: Simplify list operation

2015-12-14T00:46:12+00:00

Change the list operation to only return whether or not an attribute
should be listed.  Copying the attribute names into the buffer is moved
to the callers.

Since the result only depends on the dentry and not on the attribute
name, we do not pass the attribute name to list operations.

nfs: Move call to security_inode_listsecurity into nfs_listxattr

2015-12-14T00:45:47+00:00

Add a nfs_listxattr operation.  Move the call to security_inode_listsecurity
from list operation of the "security.*" xattr handler to nfs_listxattr.

tmpfs: listxattr should include POSIX ACL xattrs

2015-12-07T02:34:15+00:00

When a file on tmpfs has an ACL or a Default ACL, listxattr should include the
corresponding xattr name.

tmpfs: Use xattr handler infrastructure

2015-12-07T02:34:15+00:00

Use the VFS xattr handler infrastructure and get rid of similar code in
the filesystem.  For implementing shmem_xattr_handler_set, we need a
version of simple_xattr_set which removes the attribute when value is
NULL.  Use this to implement kernfs_iop_removexattr as well.

vfs: Distinguish between full xattr names and proper prefixes

2015-12-07T02:33:52+00:00

Add an additional "name" field to struct xattr_handler.  When the name
is set, the handler matches attributes with exactly that name.  When the
prefix is set instead, the handler matches attributes with the given
prefix and with a non-empty suffix.

This patch should avoid bugs like the one fixed in commit c361016a in
the future.
