2013-02-129p: Transmit kuid and kgid valuesEric W. Biederman
Modify the p9_client_rpc format specifiers of every function that directly transmits a uid or a gid from 'd' to 'u' or 'g' as appropriate. Modify those same functions to take kuid_t and kgid_t parameters instead of uid_t and gid_t parameters.

2013-02-129p: Add 'u' and 'g' format specifies for kuids and kgidsEric W. Biederman

2013-02-12ceph: Enable building when user namespaces are enabled.Eric W. Biederman
Now that conversions happen from kuids and kgids when generating ceph messages and conversion happen to kuids and kgids after receiving celph messages, and all intermediate data structures store uids and gids as type kuid_t and kgid_t it is safe to enable ceph with user namespace support enabled.

2013-02-12ceph: Convert struct ceph_mds_request to use kuid_t and kgid_tEric W. Biederman
Hold the uid and gid for a pending ceph mds request using the types kuid_t and kgid_t.

2013-02-12ceph: Translate inode uid and gid attributes to/from kuids and kgids.Eric W. Biederman
- In fill_inode() transate uids and gids in the initial user namespace into kuids and kgids stored in inode->i_uid and inode->i_gid. - In ceph_setattr() if they have changed convert inode->i_uid and inode->i_gid into initial user namespace uids and gids for transmission.

2013-02-12ceph: Translate between uid and gids in cap messages and kuids and kgidsEric W. Biederman
- Make the uid and gid arguments of send_cap_msg() used to compose ceph_mds_caps messages of type kuid_t and kgid_t. - Pass inode->i_uid and inode->i_gid in __send_cap to send_cap_msg() through variables of type kuid_t and kgid_t. - Modify struct ceph_cap_snap to store uids and gids in types kuid_t and kgid_t. This allows capturing inode->i_uid and inode->i_gid in ceph_queue_cap_snap() without loss and pssing them to __ceph_flush_snaps() where they are removed from struct ceph_cap_snap and passed to send_cap_msg(). - In handle_cap_grant translate uid and gids in the initial user namespace stored in struct ceph_mds_cap into kuids and kgids before setting inode->i_uid and inode->i_gid.

2013-01-27userns: Allow the unprivileged users to mount mqueue fsGao feng
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.

2013-01-26userns: Allow the userns root to mount tmpfs.Eric W. Biederman
There is no backing store to tmpfs and file creation rules are the same as for any other filesystem so it is semantically safe to allow unprivileged users to mount it. ramfs is safe for the same reasons so allow either flavor of tmpfs to be mounted by a user namespace root user. The memory control group successfully limits how much memory tmpfs can consume on any system that cares about a user namespace root using tmpfs to exhaust memory the memory control group can be deployed.

2013-01-26userns: Allow the userns root to mount of devptsEric W. Biederman
- The context in which devpts is mounted has no effect on the creation of ptys as the /dev/ptmx interface has been used by unprivileged users for many years. - Only support unprivileged mounts in combination with the newinstance option to ensure that mounting of /dev/pts in a user namespace will not allow the options of an existing mount of devpts to be modified. - Create /dev/pts/ptmx as the root user in the user namespace that mounts devpts so that it's permissions to be changed.

2013-01-26userns: Allow any uid or gid mappings that don't overlap.Eric W. Biederman
When I initially wrote the code for /proc/<pid>/uid_map. I was lazy and avoided duplicate mappings by the simple expedient of ensuring the first number in a new extent was greater than any number in the previous extent. Unfortunately that precludes a number of valid mappings, and someone noticed and complained. So use a simple check to ensure that ranges in the mapping extents don't overlap.

2013-01-26userns: Avoid recursion in put_user_nsEric W. Biederman
When freeing a deeply nested user namespace free_user_ns calls put_user_ns on it's parent which may in turn call free_user_ns again. When -fno-optimize-sibling-calls is passed to gcc one stack frame per user namespace is left on the stack, potentially overflowing the kernel stack. CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER forces -fno-optimize-sibling-calls so we can't count on gcc to optimize this code. Remove struct kref and use a plain atomic_t. Making the code more flexible and easier to comprehend. Make the loop in free_user_ns explict to guarantee that the stack does not overflow with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER enabled. I have tested this fix with a simple program that uses unshare to create a deeply nested user namespace structure and then calls exit. With 1000 nesteuser namespaces before this change running my test program causes the kernel to die a horrible death. With 10,000,000 nested user namespaces after this change my test program runs to completion and causes no harm.

2012-12-25pidns: Stop pid allocation when init diesEric W. Biederman
Oleg pointed out that in a pid namespace the sequence. - pid 1 becomes a zombie - setns(thepidns), fork,... - reaping pid 1. - The injected processes exiting. Can lead to processes attempting access their child reaper and instead following a stale pointer. That waitpid for init can return before all of the processes in the pid namespace have exited is also unfortunate. Avoid these problems by disabling the allocation of new pids in a pid namespace when init dies, instead of when the last process in a pid namespace is reaped.

Introduce a field per_bio_data_size in struct dm_target. Targets can set this field in the constructor. If a target sets this field to a non-zero value, "per_bio_data_size" bytes of auxiliary data are allocated for each bio submitted to the target. These data can be used for any purpose by the target and help us improve performance by removing some per-target mempools. Per-bio data is accessed with dm_per_bio_data. The argument data_size must be the same as the value per_bio_data_size in dm_target. If the target has a pointer to per_bio_data, it can get a pointer to the bio with dm_bio_from_per_bio_data() function (data_size must be the same as the value passed to dm_per_bio_data).

Add WRITE SAME support to dm-io and make it accessible to dm_kcopyd_zero(). dm_kcopyd_zero() provides an asynchronous interface whereas the blkdev_issue_write_same() interface is synchronous. WRITE SAME is a SCSI command that can be leveraged for more efficient zeroing of a specified logical extent of a device which supports it. Only a single zeroed logical block is transfered to the target for each WRITE SAME and the target then writes that same block across the specified extent. The dm thin target uses this.

The linear target can already support WRITE SAME requests so signal this by setting num_write_same_requests to 1. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2012-12-21dm: add WRITE SAME supportMike Snitzer
WRITE SAME bios have a payload that contain a single page. When cloning WRITE SAME bios DM has no need to modify the bi_io_vec attributes (and doing so would be detrimental). DM need only alter the start and end of the WRITE SAME bio accordingly. Rather than duplicate __clone_and_map_discard, factor out a common function that is also used by __clone_and_map_write_same.

2012-12-21dm: prepare to support WRITE SAMEMike Snitzer
Allow targets to opt in to WRITE SAME support by setting 'num_write_same_requests' in the dm_target structure. A dm device will only advertise WRITE SAME support if all its targets and all its underlying devices support it.

2012-12-21dm ioctl: use kmalloc if possibleMikulas Patocka
If the parameter buffer is small enough, try to allocate it with kmalloc() rather than vmalloc(). vmalloc is noticeably slower than kmalloc because it has to manipulate page tables. In my tests, on PA-RISC this patch speeds up activation 13 times. On Opteron this patch speeds up activation by 5%. This patch introduces a new function free_params() to free the parameters and this uses new flags that record whether or not vmalloc() was used and whether or not the input buffer must be wiped after use.

2012-12-21dm ioctl: remove PF_MEMALLOCMikulas Patocka
When allocating memory for the userspace ioctl data, set some appropriate GPF flags directly instead of using PF_MEMALLOC. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2012-12-21dm persistent data: improve improve space map block alloc failure messageJoe Thornber
Improve space map error message when unable to allocate a new metadata block. Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2012-12-21dm thin: use DMERR_LIMIT for errorsMike Snitzer
Throttle all errors logged from the IO path by dm thin. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2012-12-21dm persistent data: use DMERR_LIMIT for errorsMike Snitzer
Nearly all of persistent-data is in the IO path so throttle error messages with DMERR_LIMIT to limit the amount logged when something has gone wrong. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2012-12-21dm block manager: reinstate message when validator failsMike Snitzer
Reinstate a useful error message when the block manager buffer validator fails. This was mistakenly eliminated when the block manager was converted to use dm-bufio. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
