2015-04-11NFS: fix BUG() crash in notify_change() with patch to chown_common()Andrew Elble
We have observed a BUG() crash in fs/attr.c:notify_change(). The crash occurs during an rsync into a filesystem that is exported via NFS. 1.) fs/attr.c:notify_change() modifies the caller's version of attr. 2.) 6de0ec00ba8d ("VFS: make notify_change pass ATTR_KILL_S*ID to setattr operations") introduced a BUG() restriction such that "no function will ever call notify_change() with both ATTR_MODE and ATTR_KILL_S*ID set". Under some circumstances though, it will have assisted in setting the caller's version of attr to this very combination. 3.) 27ac0ffeac80 ("locks: break delegations on any attribute modification") introduced code to handle breaking delegations. This can result in notify_change() being re-called. attr _must_ be explicitly reset to avoid triggering the BUG() established in #2. 4.) The path that that triggers this is via fs/open.c:chmod_common(). The combination of attr flags set here and in the first call to notify_change() along with a later failed break_deleg_wait() results in notify_change() being called again via retry_deleg without resetting attr. Solution is to move retry_deleg in chmod_common() a bit further up to ensure attr is completely reset. There are other places where this seemingly could occur, such as fs/utimes.c:utimes_common(), but the attr flags are not initially set in such a way to trigger this.

2015-01-23fs: create proper filename objects using getname_kernel()Paul Moore
There are several areas in the kernel that create temporary filename objects using the following pattern: int func(const char *name) { struct filename *file = { .name = name }; ... return 0; } ... which for the most part works okay, but it causes havoc within the audit subsystem as the filename object does not persist beyond the lifetime of the function. This patch converts all of these temporary filename objects into proper filename objects using getname_kernel() and putname() which ensure that the filename object persists until the audit subsystem is finished with it. Also, a special thanks to Al Viro, Guenter Roeck, and Sabrina Dubroca for helping resolve a difficult kernel panic on boot related to a use-after-free problem in kern_path_create(); the thread can be seen at the link below: * https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/20/710 This patch includes code that was either based on, or directly written by Al in the above thread.

2014-12-13fallocate: create FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY eventsHeinrich Schuchardt
The fanotify and the inotify API can be used to monitor changes of the file system. System call fallocate() modifies files. Hence it should trigger the corresponding fanotify (FAN_MODIFY) and inotify (IN_MODIFY) events. The most interesting case is FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE because this value allows to create arbitrary file content from random data. This patch adds the missing call to fsnotify_modify(). The FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY event will be created when fallocate() succeeds. It will even be created if the file length remains unchanged, e.g. when calling fanotify with flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE. This logic was primarily chosen to keep the coding simple. It resembles the logic of the write() system call. When we call write() we always create a FAN_MODIFY event, even in the case of overwriting with identical data. Events FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY do not provide any guarantee that data was actually changed. Furthermore even if if the filesize remains unchanged, fallocate() may influence whether a subsequent write() will succeed and hence the fallocate() call may be considered a modification. The fallocate(2) man page teaches: After a successful call, subsequent writes into the range specified by offset and len are guaranteed not to fail because of lack of disk space. So calling fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, offset, len) may result in different outcomes of a subsequent write depending on the values of offset and len.

2014-04-12fs: move falloc collapse range check into the filesystem methodsLukas Czerner
Currently in do_fallocate in collapse range case we're checking whether offset + len is not bigger than i_size. However there is nothing which would prevent i_size from changing so the check is pointless. It should be done in the file system itself and the file system needs to make sure that i_size is not going to change. The i_size check for the other fallocate modes are also done in the filesystems. As it is now we can easily crash the kernel by having two processes doing truncate and fallocate collapse range at the same time. This can be reproduced on ext4 and it is theoretically possible on xfs even though I was not able to trigger it with this simple test. This commit removes the check from do_fallocate and adds it to the file system.

It can be used to convert a range of file to zeros preferably without issuing data IO. Blocks should be preallocated for the regions that span holes in the file, and the entire range is preferable converted to unwritten extents - even though file system may choose to zero out the extent or do whatever which will result in reading zeros from the range while the range remains allocated for the file. This can be also used to preallocate blocks past EOF in the same way as with fallocate. Flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE which should cause the inode size to remain the same.

2014-03-10vfs: atomic f_pos accesses as per POSIXLinus Torvalds
Our write() system call has always been atomic in the sense that you get the expected thread-safe contiguous write, but we haven't actually guaranteed that concurrent writes are serialized wrt f_pos accesses, so threads (or processes) that share a file descriptor and use "write()" concurrently would quite likely overwrite each others data. This violates POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4 Section XSI 2.9.7 that says: "2.9.7 Thread Interactions with Regular File Operations All of the following functions shall be atomic with respect to each other in the effects specified in POSIX.1-2008 when they operate on regular files or symbolic links: [...]" and one of the effects is the file position update. This unprotected file position behavior is not new behavior, and nobody has ever cared. Until now. Yongzhi Pan reported unexpected behavior to Michael Kerrisk that was due to this. This resolves the issue with a f_pos-specific lock that is taken by read/write/lseek on file descriptors that may be shared across threads or processes.

This new functionality of collapsing range could be used by media editing tools which does non linear editing to quickly purge and edit parts of a media file. This will immensely improve the performance of these operations. The limitation of fs block size aligned offsets can be easily handled by media codecs which are encapsulated in a conatiner as they have to just change the offset to next keyframe value to match the proper alignment.

2013-07-13Safer ABI for O_TMPFILEAl Viro
[suggested by Rasmus Villemoes] make O_DIRECTORY | O_RDWR part of O_TMPFILE; that will fail on old kernels in a lot more cases than what I came up with. And make sure O_CREAT doesn't get there... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
