ipc: don't allocate a copy larger than max

2013-03-08T23:05:33+00:00

When MSG_COPY is set, a duplicate message must be allocated for the copy
before locking the queue.  However, the copy could not be larger than was
sent which is limited to msg_ctlmax.

ipc: fix potential oops when src msg > 4k w/ MSG_COPY

2013-03-08T23:05:33+00:00

If the src msg is > 4k, then dest->next points to the
next allocated segment; resetting it just prior to dereferencing
is bad.

ipc: convert to idr_alloc()

2013-02-28T03:10:19+00:00

Convert to the much saner new idr interface.

The new interface doesn't directly translate to the way idr_pre_get()
was used around ipc_addid() as preloading disables preemption.  From
my cursory reading, it seems like we should be able to do all
allocation from ipc_addid(), so I moved it there.  Can you please
check whether this would be okay?  If this is wrong and ipc_addid()
should be allowed to be called from non-sleepable context, I'd suggest
allocating id itself in the outer functions and later install the
pointer using idr_replace().

2013-02-27T04:16:07+00:00

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
 "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
  locking violations, etc.

  The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
  "has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
  to inode.  Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.

  Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
  several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

  PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

2013-02-26T00:00:49+00:00

Pull user namespace and namespace infrastructure changes from Eric W Biederman:
 "This set of changes starts with a few small enhnacements to the user
  namespace.  reboot support, allowing more arbitrary mappings, and
  support for mounting devpts, ramfs, tmpfs, and mqueuefs as just the
  user namespace root.

  I do my best to document that if you care about limiting your
  unprivileged users that when you have the user namespace support
  enabled you will need to enable memory control groups.

  There is a minor bug fix to prevent overflowing the stack if someone
  creates way too many user namespaces.

  The bulk of the changes are a continuation of the kuid/kgid push down
  work through the filesystems.  These changes make using uids and gids
  typesafe which ensures that these filesystems are safe to use when
  multiple user namespaces are in use.  The filesystems converted for
  3.9 are ceph, 9p, afs, ocfs2, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, and cifs.  The
  changes for these filesystems were a little more involved so I split
  the changes into smaller hopefully obviously correct changes.

  XFS is the only filesystem that remains.  I was hoping I could get
  that in this release so that user namespace support would be enabled
  with an allyesconfig or an allmodconfig but it looks like the xfs
  changes need another couple of days before it they are ready."

mm: make do_mmap_pgoff return populate as a size in bytes, not as a bool

2013-02-24T01:50:11+00:00

do_mmap_pgoff() rounds up the desired size to the next PAGE_SIZE
multiple, however there was no equivalent code in mm_populate(), which
caused issues.

This could be fixed by introduced the same rounding in mm_populate(),
however I think it's preferable to make do_mmap_pgoff() return populate
as a size rather than as a boolean, so we don't have to duplicate the
size rounding logic in mm_populate().

mm: introduce mm_populate() for populating new vmas

2013-02-24T01:50:10+00:00

When creating new mappings using the MAP_POPULATE / MAP_LOCKED flags (or
with MCL_FUTURE in effect), we want to populate the pages within the
newly created vmas.  This may take a while as we may have to read pages
from disk, so ideally we want to do this outside of the write-locked
mmap_sem region.

This change introduces mm_populate(), which is used to defer populating
such mappings until after the mmap_sem write lock has been released.
This is implemented as a generalization of the former do_mlock_pages(),
which accomplished the same task but was using during mlock() /
mlockall().

fs: Preserve error code in get_empty_filp(), part 2

2013-02-23T04:31:32+00:00

Allocating a file structure in function get_empty_filp() might fail because
of several reasons:
 - not enough memory for file structures
 - operation is not allowed
 - user is over its limit

Currently the function returns NULL in all cases and we loose the exact
reason of the error. All callers of get_empty_filp() assume that the function
can fail with ENFILE only.

Return error through pointer. Change all callers to preserve this error code.

[AV: cleaned up a bit, carved the get_empty_filp() part out into a separate commit
(things remaining here deal with alloc_file()), removed pipe(2) behaviour change]

userns: Allow the unprivileged users to mount mqueue fs

2013-01-28T03:25:50+00:00

This patch allow the unprivileged user to mount mqueuefs in
user ns.

If two userns share the same ipcns,the files in mqueue fs
should be seen in both these two userns.

If the userns has its own ipcns,it has its own mqueue fs too.
ipcns has already done this job well.
