ext2,ext3,ext4: don't inherit APPEND_FL or IMMUTABLE_FL for new inodes

2011-11-11T17:43:50+00:00

commit 1cd9f0976aa4606db8d6e3dc3edd0aca8019372a upstream.

This doesn't make much sense, and it exposes a bug in the kernel where
attempts to create a new file in an append-only directory using
O_CREAT will fail (but still leave a zero-length file).  This was
discovered when xfstests #79 was generalized so it could run on all
file systems.

fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers

2011-07-21T00:47:59+00:00

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
Thanks,

ext3: use proper little-endian bitops

2011-06-25T15:29:52+00:00

ext3_{set,clear}_bit() is defined as __test_and_{set,clear}_bit_le()
for ext3.  But all ext3_{set,clear}_bit() calls ignore return values.
So these can be replaced with __{set,clear}_bit_le().

This changes ext3_{set,clear}_bit safely, because if someone uses
these macros without noticing the change, new ext3_{set,clear}_bit
don't have return value and causes compiler errors where the return
value is used.

This also removes unused ext3_find_first_zero_bit().

ext3: Convert ext3 to new truncate calling convention

2011-06-25T15:29:51+00:00

Mostly trivial conversion. We fix a bug that IS_IMMUTABLE and IS_APPEND files
could not be truncated during failed writes as we change the code.  In fact the
test is not needed at all because both IS_IMMUTABLE and IS_APPEND is tested in
upper layers in do_sys_[f]truncate(), may_write(), etc.

fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inode

2011-05-27T11:04:40+00:00

Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or
anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it
needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not.

This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet.  I plan
to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting
this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid
tree interdependencies.

Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block.  That
has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it.

ext3: use little-endian bitops

2011-03-24T02:46:17+00:00

As a preparation for removing ext2 non-atomic bit operations from
asm/bitops.h.  This converts ext2 non-atomic bit operations to
little-endian bit operations.

fs/vfs/security: pass last path component to LSM on inode creation

2011-02-01T16:12:29+00:00

SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created
inodes.  We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating
process.  This new behavior would also take into account the name of the
new object when deciding the new label.  This is not the (supposed) full path,
just the last component of the path.

This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating
/etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these
operations.  We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some
difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops
to get things set up correctly.  This patch does not implement new
behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it
does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook.  If no such name
exists it is fine to pass NULL.

ext3: speed up file creates by optimizing rec_len functions

2011-01-10T18:04:07+00:00

The addition of 64k block capability in the rec_len_from_disk
and rec_len_to_disk functions added a bit of math overhead which
slows down file create workloads needlessly when the architecture
cannot even support 64k blocks, thanks to page size limits.

Similar changes already exist in the ext4 codebase.

The directory entry checking can also be optimized a bit
by sprinkling in some unlikely() conditions to move the
error handling out of line.

bonnie++ sequential file creates on a 512MB ramdisk speeds up
from about 77,000/s to about 82,000/s, about a 6% improvement.
