d0d2727710 vfs: make sure we don't have a stale root path if unlazy_walk() fails
When I moved the RCU walk termination into unlazy_walk(), I didn't copy
quite all of it: for the successful RCU termination we properly add the
necessary reference counts to our temporary copy of the root path, but
for the failure case we need to make sure that any temporary root path
information is cleared out (since it does _not_ have the proper
reference counts from the RCU lookup).

We could clean up this mess by just always dropping the temporary root
information, but Al points out that that would mean that a single lookup
through symlinks could see multiple different root entries if it races
with another thread doing chroot.  Not that I think we should really
care (we had that before too, back before we had a copy of the root path
in the nameidata).

Al says he has a cunning plan.  In the meantime, this is the minimal fix
for the problem, even if it's not all that pretty.

e5c832d555 vfs: fix dentry RCU to refcounting possibly sleeping dput()
This is the fix that the last two commits indirectly led up to - making
sure that we don't call dput() in a bad context on the dentries we've
looked up in RCU mode after the sequence count validation fails.

This basically expands d_rcu_to_refcount() into the callers, and then
fixes the callers to delay the dput() in the failure case until _after_
we've dropped all locks and are no longer in an RCU-locked region.

The case of 'complete_walk()' was trivial, since its failure case did
the unlock_rcu_walk() directly after the call to d_rcu_to_refcount(),
and as such that is just a pure expansion of the function with a trivial
movement of the resulting dput() to after 'unlock_rcu_walk()'.

In contrast, the unlazy_walk() case was much more complicated, because
not only does convert two different dentries from RCU to be reference
counted, but it used to not call unlock_rcu_walk() at all, and instead
just returned an error and let the caller clean everything up in
"terminate_walk()".

Happily, one of the dentries in question (called "parent" inside
unlazy_walk()) is the dentry of "nd->path", which terminate_walk() wants
a refcount to anyway for the non-RCU case.

So what the new and improved unlazy_walk() does is to first turn that
dentry into a refcounted one, and once that is set up, the error cases
can continue to use the terminate_walk() helper for cleanup, but for the
non-RCU case.  Which makes it possible to drop out of RCU mode if we
actually hit the sequence number failure case.

0d98439ea3 vfs: use lockred "dead" flag to mark unrecoverably dead dentries
This simplifies the RCU to refcounting code in particular.

I was originally intending to leave this for later, but walking through
all the dput() logic (see previous commit), I realized that the dput()
"might_sleep()" check was misleadingly weak.  And I removed it as
misleading, both for performance profiling and for debugging.

However, the might_sleep() debugging case is actually true: the final
dput() can indeed sleep, if the inode of the dentry that you are
releasing ends up sleeping at iput time (see dentry_iput()).  So the
problem with the might_sleep() in dput() wasn't that it wasn't true, it
was that it wasn't actually testing and triggering on the interesting
case.

In particular, just about *any* dput() can indeed sleep, if you happen
to race with another thread deleting the file in question, and you then
lose the race to the be the last dput() for that file.  But because it's
a very rare race, the debugging code would never trigger it in practice.

Why is this problematic? The new d_rcu_to_refcount() (see commit
15570086b5: "vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using
lockref_get_or_lock()") does a dput() for the failure case, and it does
it under the RCU lock.  So potentially sleeping really is a bug.

But there's no way I'm going to fix this with the previous complicated
"lockref_get_or_lock()" interface.  And rather than revert to the old
and crufty nested dentry locking code (which did get this right by
delaying the reference count updates until they were verified to be
safe), let's make forward progress.

8033426e6b vfs: allow umount to handle mountpoints without revalidating them
Christopher reported a regression where he was unable to unmount a NFS
filesystem where the root had gone stale. The problem is that
d_revalidate handles the root of the filesystem differently from other
dentries, but d_weak_revalidate does not. We could simply fix this by
making d_weak_revalidate return success on IS_ROOT dentries, but there
are cases where we do want to revalidate the root of the fs.

A umount is really a special case. We generally aren't interested in
anything but the dentry and vfsmount that's attached at that point. If
the inode turns out to be stale we just don't care since the intent is
to stop using it anyway.

Try to handle this situation better by treating umount as a special
case in the lookup code. Have it resolve the parent using normal
means, and then do a lookup of the final dentry without revalidating
it. In most cases, the final lookup will come out of the dcache, but
the case where there's a trailing symlink or !LAST_NORM entry on the
end complicates things a bit.

15570086b5 vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using lockref_get_or_lock()
This moves __d_rcu_to_refcount() from <linux/dcache.h> into fs/namei.c
and re-implements it using the lockref infrastructure instead.  It also
adds a lot of comments about what is actually going on, because turning
a dentry that was looked up using RCU into a long-lived reference
counted entry is one of the more subtle parts of the rcu walk.

We also used to be _particularly_ subtle in unlazy_walk() where we
re-validate both the dentry and its parent using the same sequence
count.  We used to do it by nesting the locks and then verifying the
sequence count just once.

That was silly, because nested locking is expensive, but the sequence
count check is not.  So this just re-validates the dentry and the parent
separately, avoiding the nested locking, and making the lockref lookup
possible.

98474236f7 vfs: make the dentry cache use the lockref infrastructure
This just replaces the dentry count/lock combination with the lockref
structure that contains both a count and a spinlock, and does the
mechanical conversion to use the lockref infrastructure.

There are no semantic changes here, it's purely syntactic.  The
reference lockref implementation uses the spinlock exactly the same way
that the old dcache code did, and the bulk of this patch is just
expanding the internal "d_count" use in the dcache code to use
"d_lockref.count" instead.

This is purely preparation for the real change to make the reference
count updates be lockless during the 3.12 merge window.

[ As with the previous commit, this is a rewritten version of a concept
  originally from Waiman, so credit goes to him, blame for any errors
  goes to me.

  Waiman's patch had some semantic differences for taking advantage of
  the lockless update in dget_parent(), while this patch is
  intentionally a pure search-and-replace change with no semantic
  changes.     - Linus ]

f0cc6ffb8c Revert "fs: Allow unprivileged linkat(..., AT_EMPTY_PATH) aka flink"
This reverts commit bb2314b479.

It wasn't necessarily wrong per se, but we're still busily discussing
the exact details of this all, so I'm going to revert it for now.

It's true that you can already do flink() through /proc and that flink()
isn't new.  But as Brad Spengler points out, some secure environments do
not mount proc, and flink adds a new interface that can avoid path
lookup of the source for those kinds of environments.

We may re-do this (and even mark it for stable backporting back in 3.11
and possibly earlier) once the whole discussion about the interface is done.

bb2314b479 fs: Allow unprivileged linkat(..., AT_EMPTY_PATH) aka flink
Every now and then someone proposes a new flink syscall, and this spawns
a long discussion of whether it would be a security problem.  I think
that this is missing the point: flink is *already* allowed without
privilege as long as /proc is mounted -- it's called AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW.

Now that O_TMPFILE is here, the ability to create a file with O_TMPFILE,
write it, and link it in is very convenient.  The only problem is that
it requires that /proc be mounted so that you can do:

linkat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/fd/<tmpfd>", dfd, path, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW)

This sucks -- it's much nicer to do:

linkat(tmpfd, "", dfd, path, AT_EMPTY_PATH)

Let's allow it.

If this turns out to be excessively scary, it we could instead require
that the inode in question be I_LINKABLE, but this seems pointless given
the /proc situation

A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry->d_inode -

NULL by rmdir() or by overwriting rename(), which case should be simply

33e2208acf audit: vfs: fix audit_inode call in O_CREAT case of do_last
Jiri reported a regression in auditing of open(..., O_CREAT) syscalls.
In older kernels, creating a file with open(..., O_CREAT) created
audit_name records that looked like this:

type=PATH msg=audit(1360255720.628:64): item=1 name="/abc/foo" inode=138810 dev=fd:00 mode=0100640 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255720.628:64): item=0 name="/abc/" inode=138635 dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0

...in recent kernels though, they look like this:

type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=2 name=(null) inode=264599 dev=fd:00 mode=0100640 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=1 name=(null) inode=264598 dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=0 name="/abc/foo" inode=264598 dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0

Richard bisected to determine that the problems started with commit
bfcec708, but the log messages have changed with some later
audit-related patches.

The problem is that this audit_inode call is passing in the parent of
the dentry being opened, but audit_inode is being called with the parent
flag false. This causes later audit_inode and audit_inode_child calls to
match the wrong entry in the audit_names list.

This patch simply sets the flag to properly indicate that this inode
represents the parent. With this, the audit_names entries are back to
looking like they did before.

ecf3d1f1aa vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry op
The following set of operations on a NFS client and server will cause

    server# mkdir a
    client# cd a
    server# mv a a.bak
    client# sleep 30  # (or whatever the dir attrcache timeout is)
    client# stat .
    stat: cannot stat `.': Stale NFS file handle

Obviously, we should not be getting an ESTALE error back there since the
inode still exists on the server. The problem is that the lookup code
will call d_revalidate on the dentry that "." refers to, because NFS has
FS_REVAL_DOT set.

nfs_lookup_revalidate will see that the parent directory has changed and
will try to reverify the dentry by redoing a LOOKUP. That of course
fails, so the lookup code returns ESTALE.

The problem here is that d_revalidate is really a bad fit for this case.
What we really want to know at this point is whether the inode is still
good or not, but we don't really care what name it goes by or whether
the dcache is still valid.

Add a new d_op->d_weak_revalidate operation and have complete_walk call
that instead of d_revalidate. The intent there is to allow for a
"weaker" d_revalidate that just checks to see whether the inode is still
good. This is also gives us an opportunity to kill off the FS_REVAL_DOT
special casing.

[AV: changed method name, added note in porting, fixed confusion re
having it possibly called from RCU mode (it won't be)]

582aa64a04 vfs: remove unneeded permission check from path_init
When path_init is called with a valid dfd, that code checks permissions
on the open directory fd and returns an error if the check fails. This
permission check is redundant, however.

Both callers of path_init immediately call link_path_walk afterward. The
first thing that link_path_walk does for pathnames that do not consist
only of slashes is to check for exec permissions at the starting point of
the path walk.  And this check in path_init() is on the path taken only
when *name != '/' && *name != '\0'.

In most cases, these checks are very quick, but when the dfd is for a
file on a NFS mount with the actimeo=0, each permission check goes
out onto the wire. The result is 2 identical ACCESS calls.

Given that these codepaths are fairly "hot", I think it makes sense to
eliminate the permission check in path_init and simply assume that the
caller will eventually check the permissions before proceeding.

561ec64ae6 VFS: don't do protected {sym,hard}links by default
In commit 800179c9b8 ("This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to
the Linux VFS"), the new link protections were enabled by default, in
the hope that no actual application would care, despite it being
technically against legacy UNIX (and documented POSIX) behavior.

However, it does turn out to break some applications.  It's rare, and
it's unfortunate, but it's unacceptable to break existing systems, so
we'll have to default to legacy behavior.

In particular, it has broken the way AFD distributes files, see

  http://www.dwd.de/AFD/

along with some legacy scripts.

Distributions can end up setting this at initrd time or in system
scripts: if you have security problems due to link attacks during your
early boot sequence, you have bigger problems than some kernel sysctl
setting. Do:

	echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks
	echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks

to re-enable the link protections.

Alternatively, we may at some point introduce a kernel config option
that sets these kinds of "more secure but not traditional" behavioural
options automatically.

91a27b2a75 vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.

For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.

This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.

Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

new "type" argument to audit_inode_child. This will tell us whether
we're looking for a child entry that represents a create or a delete.

If we find a parent, don't automatically assume that we need to create a
new entry. Instead, use the information we have to try to find an
existing entry first. Update it if one is found and create a new one if
not.

bfcec70874 audit: set the name_len in audit_inode for parent lookups
Currently, this gets set mostly by happenstance when we call into
audit_inode_child. While that might be a little more efficient, it seems
wrong. If the syscall ends up failing before audit_inode_child ever gets
called, then you'll have an audit_names record that shows the full path
but has the parent inode info attached.

Fix this by passing in a parent flag when we call audit_inode that gets
set to the value of LOOKUP_PARENT. We can then fix up the pathname for
the audit entry correctly from the get-go.

While we're at it, clean up the no-op macro for audit_inode in the
!CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL case.

98f6ef64b1 vfs: bogus warnings in fs/namei.c
The follow_link() function always initializes its *p argument,
or returns an error, but when building with 'gcc -s', the compiler
gets confused by the __always_inline attribute to the function
and can no longer detect where the cookie was initialized.

The solution is to always initialize the pointer from follow_link,
even in the error path. When building with -O2, this has zero impact
on generated code and adds a single instruction in the error path
for a -Os build on ARM.

Without this patch, building with gcc-4.6 through gcc-4.8 and
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE results in:

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:

 - big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
   that is moved to fs/file.c

   (BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c.  As it is,
   we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
   file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
   are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
   struct file we used to have way back).

   A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
   disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
   doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore.  A bunch of
   relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
   leak.

 - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
   there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).

 - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
   that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
   switch of fdinfo to seq_file.

 - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
   take that commit than mess with conflicts.  The rest is a separate
   pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.

 - a few misc patches all over the place.  Not all for this cycle,
   there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."

Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
  support.  This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
  enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
  namespace.  Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
  filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
  nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.

  The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
  subsystems and filesystems as reasonable.  Leaving the make_kuid and
  from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
  come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
  Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
  namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.

  The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
  union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
  Those places were converted into explicit unions.  I made certain to
  handle those places with simple trivial patches.

  Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
  quota by projid.  I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
  Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
  for most of the code size growth in my git tree.

  Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
  "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
  root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
  non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.

  While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
  I made a few other cleanups.  I capitalized on the fact we process
  netlink messages in the context of the message sender.  I removed
  usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.

  Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
  problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
  linux-next.

  After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
  win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

c30dabfe5d fs: Push mnt_want_write() outside of i_mutex
Currently, mnt_want_write() is sometimes called with i_mutex held and sometimes
without it. This isn't really a problem because mnt_want_write() is a
non-blocking operation (essentially has a trylock semantics) but when the
function starts to handle also frozen filesystems, it will get a full lock
semantics and thus proper lock ordering has to be established. So move
all mnt_want_write() calls outside of i_mutex.

One non-trivial case needing conversion is kern_path_create() /
user_path_create() which didn't include mnt_want_write() but now needs to
because it acquires i_mutex.  Because there are virtual file systems which
don't bother with freeze / remount-ro protection we actually provide both
versions of the function - one which calls mnt_want_write() and one which does
not.

[AV: scratch the previous, mnt_want_write() has been moved to kern_path_create()
by now]

The write ref to vfsmount taken in lookup_open()/atomic_open() is going to

in caller if it looks like we are going to need it (create/truncate/writable open)
and pass (by value) "has it succeeded" flag.  Instead of doing mnt_want_write()
inside, check that flag and treat "false" as "mnt_want_write() has just failed".
mnt_want_write() is cheap and the things get considerably simpler and more robust
that way - we get it and drop it in the same function, to start with, rather
than passing a "has something in the guts of really scary functions taken it"

root process follows a symlink belonging to another user). For a likely
incomplete list of hundreds of examples across the years, please see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=/tmp

The solution is to permit symlinks to only be followed when outside
a sticky world-writable directory, or when the uid of the symlink and
follower match, or when the directory owner matches the symlink's owner.

Some pointers to the history of earlier discussion that I could find:

Past objections and rebuttals could be summarized as:

 - Violates POSIX.
   - POSIX didn't consider this situation and it's not useful to follow
     a broken specification at the cost of security.
 - Might break unknown applications that use this feature.
   - Applications that break because of the change are easy to spot and
     fix. Applications that are vulnerable to symlink ToCToU by not having
     the change aren't. Additionally, no applications have yet been found
     that rely on this behavior.
 - Applications should just use mkstemp() or O_CREATE|O_EXCL.
   - True, but applications are not perfect, and new software is written
     all the time that makes these mistakes; blocking this flaw at the
     kernel is a single solution to the entire class of vulnerability.
 - This should live in the core VFS.
   - This should live in an LSM. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/31/135)

   - This should live in the core VFS. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/2/188)

Hardlinks:

On systems that have user-writable directories on the same partition
as system files, a long-standing class of security issues is the
hardlink-based time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in
world-writable directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation
of this flaw is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given
hardlink (i.e. a root process follows a hardlink created by another
user). Additionally, an issue exists where users can "pin" a potentially
vulnerable setuid/setgid file so that an administrator will not actually
upgrade a system fully.

The solution is to permit hardlinks to only be created when the user is
already the existing file's owner, or if they already have read/write
access to the existing file.

Many Linux users are surprised when they learn they can link to files
they have no access to, so this change appears to follow the doctrine
of "least surprise". Additionally, this change does not violate POSIX,
which states "the implementation may require that the calling process
has permission to access the existing file"[1].

This change is known to break some implementations of the "at" daemon,
though the version used by Fedora and Ubuntu has been fixed[2] for
a while. Otherwise, the change has been undisruptive while in use in
Ubuntu for the last 1.5 years.

This patch is based on the patches in Openwall and grsecurity, along with
suggestions from Al Viro. I have added a sysctl to enable the protected
behavior, and documentation.

The problem is that do_last is passing a negative dentry to audit_inode.
The comments on lookup_open note that it can pass back a negative dentry
if O_CREAT is not set.

This patch fixes the oops, but I'm not clear on whether there's a better
approach.

d18e9008c3 vfs: add i_op->atomic_open()
Add a new inode operation which is called on the last component of an open.
Using this the filesystem can look up, possibly create and open the file in one
atomic operation.  If it cannot perform this (e.g. the file type turned out to
be wrong) it may signal this by returning NULL instead of an open struct file
pointer.

i_op->atomic_open() is only called if the last component is negative or needs
lookup.  Handling cached positive dentries here doesn't add much value: these
can be opened using f_op->open().  If the cached file turns out to be invalid,
the open can be retried, this time using ->atomic_open() with a fresh dentry.

For now leave the old way of using open intents in lookup and revalidate in
place.  This will be removed once all the users are converted.

David Howells noticed that if ->atomic_open() opens the file but does not create
it, handle_truncate() will be called on it even if it is not a regular file.
Fix this by checking the file type in this case too.

If the lookup was done using RCU mode, including the last component, then this
is not possible since the parent dentry is lost.  In this case fall back to
non-RCU lookup.  Currently this is not used since NFS will always leave RCU
mode.

36126f8f2e word-at-a-time: make the interfaces truly generic
This changes the interfaces in <asm/word-at-a-time.h> to be a bit more
complicated, but a lot more generic.

In particular, it allows us to really do the operations efficiently on
both little-endian and big-endian machines, pretty much regardless of
machine details.  For example, if you can rely on a fast population
count instruction on your architecture, this will allow you to make your
optimized <asm/word-at-a-time.h> file with that.

NOTE! The "generic" version in include/asm-generic/word-at-a-time.h is
not truly generic, it actually only works on big-endian.  Why? Because
on little-endian the generic algorithms are wasteful, since you can
inevitably do better. The x86 implementation is an example of that.

(The only truly non-generic part of the asm-generic implementation is
the "find_zero()" function, and you could make a little-endian version
of it.  And if the Kbuild infrastructure allowed us to pick a particular
header file, that would be lovely)

The <asm/word-at-a-time.h> functions are as follows:

 - WORD_AT_A_TIME_CONSTANTS: specific constants that the algorithm
   uses.

 - has_zero(): take a word, and determine if it has a zero byte in it.
   It gets the word, the pointer to the constant pool, and a pointer to
   an intermediate "data" field it can set.

   This is the "quick-and-dirty" zero tester: it's what is run inside
   the hot loops.

 - "prep_zero_mask()": take the word, the data that has_zero() produced,
   and the constant pool, and generate an *exact* mask of which byte had
   the first zero.  This is run directly *outside* the loop, and allows
   the "has_zero()" function to answer the "is there a zero byte"
   question without necessarily getting exactly *which* byte is the
   first one to contain a zero.

   If you do multiple byte lookups concurrently (eg "hash_name()", which
   looks for both NUL and '/' bytes), after you've done the prep_zero_mask()
   phase, the result of those can be or'ed together to get the "either
   or" case.

 - The result from "prep_zero_mask()" can then be fed into "find_zero()"
   (to find the byte offset of the first byte that was zero) or into
   "zero_bytemask()" (to find the bytemask of the bytes preceding the
   zero byte).

   The existence of zero_bytemask() is optional, and is not necessary
   for the normal string routines.  But dentry name hashing needs it, so
   if you enable DENTRY_WORD_AT_A_TIME you need to expose it.

This changes the generic strncpy_from_user() function and the dentry
hashing functions to use these modified word-at-a-time interfaces.  This
gets us back to the optimized state of the x86 strncpy that we lost in
the previous commit when moving over to the generic version.

Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
  reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
  implementation.

  Highlights:
   - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
     code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.

   - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
     config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
     user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
     checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.

   - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
     user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
     an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
     uids remains the same.

   - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
     better than it is today.

   - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
     operationally with the user namespace enabled.

   - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
     billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
     enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
     164ns per stat operation).

   - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
     Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
     anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
     entertaining failures in userspace.

   - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
     I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
     could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
     handle the case where setuid fails.

   - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
     we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
     experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
     better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
     can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
     can't map.

   - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
     safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

  kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

12f8ad4b05 vfs: clean up __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp() interfaces
The calling conventions for __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp() are
annoying in different ways, and there is actually one single underlying
reason for both of the annoyances.

The fundamental reason is that we do the returned dentry sequence number
check inside __d_lookup_rcu() instead of doing it in the caller.  This
results in two annoyances:

 - __d_lookup_rcu() now not only needs to return the dentry and the
   sequence number that goes along with the lookup, it also needs to
   return the inode pointer that was validated by that sequence number
   check.

 - and because we did the sequence number check early (to validate the
   name pointer and length) we also couldn't just pass the dentry itself
   to dentry_cmp(), we had to pass the counted string that contained the
   name.

So that sequence number decision caused two separate ugly calling
conventions.

Both of these problems would be solved if we just did the sequence
number check in the caller instead.  There's only one caller, and that
caller already has to do the sequence number check for the parent
anyway, so just do that.

That allows us to stop returning the dentry->d_inode in that in-out
argument (pointer-to-pointer-to-inode), so we can make the inode
argument just a regular input inode pointer.  The caller can just load
the inode from dentry->d_inode, and then do the sequence number check
after that to make sure that it's synchronized with the name we looked
up.

And it allows us to just pass in the dentry to dentry_cmp(), which is
what all the callers really wanted.  Sure, dentry_cmp() has to be a bit
careful about the dentry (which is not stable during RCU lookup), but
that's actually very simple.

And now that dentry_cmp() can clearly see that the first string argument
is a dentry, we can use the direct word access for that, instead of the
careful unaligned zero-padding.  The dentry name is always properly
aligned, since it is a single path component that is either embedded
into the dentry itself, or was allocated with kmalloc() (see __d_alloc).

Finally, this also uninlines the nasty slow-case for dentry comparisons:
that one *does* need to do a sequence number check, since it will call
in to the low-level filesystems, and we want to give those a stable
inode pointer and path component length/start arguments.  Doing an extra
sequence check for that slow case is not a problem, though.

e419b4cc58 vfs: make word-at-a-time accesses handle a non-existing page
It turns out that there are more cases than CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC that
can have holes in the kernel address space: it seems to happen easily
with Xen, and it looks like the AMD gart64 code will also punch holes
dynamically.

Actually hitting that case is still very unlikely, so just do the
access, and take an exception and fix it up for the very unlikely case
of it being a page-crosser with no next page.

And hey, this abstraction might even help other architectures that have
other issues with unaligned word accesses than the possible missing next
page.  IOW, this could do the byte order magic too.

Peter Anvin fixed a thinko in the shifting for the exception case.

3f9f0aa687 VFS: clean up and simplify getname_flags()
This removes a number of silly games around strncpy_from_user() in
do_getname(), and removes that helper function entirely.  We instead
make getname_flags() just use strncpy_from_user() properly directly.

Removing the wrapper function simplifies things noticeably, mostly
because we no longer play the unnecessary games with segments (x86
strncpy_from_user() no longer needs the hack), but also because the
empty path handling is just much more obvious.  The return value of
"strncpy_to_user()" is much more obvious than checking an odd error
return case from do_getname().

[ non-x86 architectures were notified of this change several weeks ago,
  since it is possible that they have copied the old broken x86
  strncpy_from_user. But nobody reacted, so .. See

1a48e2ac03 userns: Replace the hard to write inode_userns with inode_capable.
This represents a change in strategy of how to handle user namespaces.
Instead of tagging everything explicitly with a user namespace and bulking
up all of the comparisons of uids and gids in the kernel,  all uids and gids
in use will have a mapping to a flat kuid and kgid spaces respectively.  This
allows much more of the existing logic to be preserved and in general
allows for faster code.

In this new and improved world we allow someone to utiliize capabilities
over an inode if the inodes owner mapps into the capabilities holders user
namespace and the user has capabilities in their user namespace.  Which
is simple and efficient.

Moving the fs uid comparisons to be comparisons in a flat kuid space
follows in later patches, something that is only significant if you
are using user namespaces.

f68e556e23 Make the "word-at-a-time" helper functions more commonly usable
I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them.  This is preparation for that.

This moves them into an architecture-specific header file.  It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:

 - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
   implementations.  Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
   the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
   likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
   is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
   bit count instruction, for example.

 - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
   around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
   particular the actual unaligned accesses).  So we're likely to have
   more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
   this.

   (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
   this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
   right thing to do, of course)

holding i_mutex all along.  IOW, we don't need to jump back to

  vfs: use 'unsigned long' accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing

This does the name hashing and lookup using word-sized accesses when
that is efficient, namely on x86 (although any little-endian machine
with good unaligned accesses would do).

It does very much depend on little-endian logic, but it's a very hot
couple of functions under some real loads, and this patch improves the
performance of __d_lookup_rcu() and link_path_walk() by up to about 30%.
Giving a 10% improvement on some very pathname-heavy benchmarks.

Because we do make unaligned accesses past the filename, the
optimization is disabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is active, and we
effectively depend on the fact that on x86 we don't really ever have the
last page of usable RAM followed immediately by any IO memory (due to
ACPI tables, BIOS buffer areas etc).

Some of the bit operations we do are a bit "subtle".  It's commented,
but you do need to really think about the code.  Or just consider it
black magic.

Thanks to people on G+ for some of the optimized bit tricks.

200e9ef7ab vfs: split up name hashing in link_path_walk() into helper function
The code in link_path_walk() that finds out the length and the hash of
the next path component is some of the hottest code in the kernel.  And
I have a version of it that does things at the full width of the CPU
wordsize at a time, but that means that we *really* want to split it up
into a separate helper function.

So this re-organizes the code a bit and splits the hashing part into a
helper function called "hash_name()".  It returns the length of the
pathname component, while at the same time computing and writing the
hash to the appropriate location.

The code generation is slightly changed by this patch, but generally for
the better - and the added abstraction actually makes the code easier to
read too.  And the new interface is well suited for replacing just the
"hash_name()" function with alternative implementations.

.. and also use it in lookup_one_len() rather than open-coding it.

There aren't any performance-critical users, so inlining it is silly.
But it wouldn't matter if it wasn't for the fact that the word-at-a-time
dentry name patches want to conditionally replace the function, and
uninlining it sets the stage for that.

So again, this is a preparatory patch that doesn't change any semantics,
and only prepares for a much cleaner and testable word-at-a-time dentry
name accessor patch.

a3fbbde70a VFS: we need to set LOOKUP_JUMPED on mountpoint crossing
Mountpoint crossing is similar to following procfs symlinks - we do
not get ->d_revalidate() called for dentry we have arrived at, with
unpleasant consequences for NFS4.

Simple way to reproduce the problem in mainline:

    cat >/tmp/a.c <<'EOF'
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    main()
    {
            struct flock fl = {.l_type = F_RDLCK, .l_whence = SEEK_SET, .l_len = 1};
            if (fcntl(0, F_SETLK, &fl))
                    perror("setlk");
    }
    EOF
    cc /tmp/a.c -o /tmp/test

then on nfs4:

    mount --bind file1 file2
    /tmp/test < file1		# ok
    /tmp/test < file2		# spews "setlk: No locks available"...

What happens is the missing call of ->d_revalidate() after mountpoint
crossing and that's where NFS4 would issue OPEN request to server.

The fix is simple - treat mountpoint crossing the same way we deal with
following procfs-style symlinks.  I.e.  set LOOKUP_JUMPED...

1fa1e7f615 readlinkat: ensure we return ENOENT for the empty pathname for normal lookups
Since the commit below which added O_PATH support to the *at() calls, the
error return for readlink/readlinkat for the empty pathname has switched
from ENOENT to EINVAL:

  commit 65cfc67223
  Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
  Date:   Sun Mar 13 15:56:26 2011 -0400

    readlinkat(), fchownat() and fstatat() with empty relative pathnames

This is both unexpected for userspace and makes readlink/readlinkat
inconsistant with all other interfaces; and inconsistant with our stated
return for these pathnames.

As the readlinkat call does not have a flags parameter we cannot use the
AT_EMPTY_PATH approach used in the other calls.  Therefore expose whether
the original path is infact entry via a new user_path_at_empty() path
lookup function.  Use this to determine whether to default to EINVAL or
ENOENT for failures.

f3c7691e8d leases: fix write-open/read-lease race
In setlease, we use i_writecount to decide whether we can give out a
read lease.

In open, we break leases before incrementing i_writecount.

There is therefore a window between the break lease and the i_writecount
increment when setlease could add a new read lease.

This would leave us with a simultaneous write open and read lease, which
shouldn't happen.

b6c8069d35 vfs: remove LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag
That flag no longer makes sense, since we don't look up automount points
as eagerly any more.  Additionally, it turns out that the NO_AUTOMOUNT
handling was buggy to begin with: it would avoid automounting even for
cases where we really *needed* to do the automount handling, and could
return ENOENT for autofs entries that hadn't been instantiated yet.

With our new non-eager automount semantics, one discussion has been
about adding a AT_AUTOMOUNT flag to vfs_fstatat (and thus the
newfstatat() and fstatat64() system calls), but it's probably not worth
it: you can always force at least directory automounting by simply
adding the final '/' to the filename, which works for *all* of the stat
family system calls, old and new.

So AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT (and thus LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT) really were just a
result of our bad default behavior.

d94c177bee vfs pathname lookup: Add LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag
Since we've now turned around and made LOOKUP_FOLLOW *not* force an
automount, we want to add the ability to force an automount event on
lookup even if we don't happen to have one of the other flags that force
it implicitly (LOOKUP_OPEN, LOOKUP_DIRECTORY, LOOKUP_PARENT..)

Most cases will never want to use this, since you'd normally want to
delay automounting as long as possible, which usually implies
LOOKUP_OPEN (when we open a file or directory, we really cannot avoid
the automount any more).

But Trond argued sufficiently forcefully that at a minimum bind mounting
a file and quotactl will want to force the automount lookup.  Some other
cases (like nfs_follow_remote_path()) could use it too, although
LOOKUP_DIRECTORY would work there as well.

This commit just adds the flag and logic, no users yet, though.  It also
doesn't actually touch the LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag that is related, and
was made irrelevant by the same change that made us not follow on
LOOKUP_FOLLOW.

0ec26fd069 vfs: automount should ignore LOOKUP_FOLLOW
Prior to 2.6.38 automount would not trigger on either stat(2) or
lstat(2) on the automount point.

After 2.6.38, with the introduction of the ->d_automount()
infrastructure, stat(2) and others would start triggering automount
while lstat(2), etc. still would not.  This is a regression and a
userspace ABI change.

Problem originally reported here:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.autofs/6098

It appears that there was an attempt at fixing various userspace tools
to not trigger the automount.  But since the stat system call is
rather common it is impossible to "fix" all userspace.

This patch reverts the original behavior, which is to not trigger on
stat(2) and other symlink following syscalls.

[ It's not really clear what the right behavior is.  Apparently Solaris
  does the "automount on stat, leave alone on lstat".  And some programs
  can get unhappy when "stat+open+fstat" ends up giving a different
  result from the fstat than from the initial stat.

  But the change in 2.6.38 resulted in problems for some people, so
  we're going back to old behavior.  Maybe we can re-visit this
  discussion at some future date  - Linus ]

3ddcd0569c vfs: optimize inode cache access patterns
The inode structure layout is largely random, and some of the vfs paths
really do care.  The path lookup in particular is already quite D$
intensive, and profiles show that accessing the 'inode->i_op->xyz'
fields is quite costly.

We already optimized the dcache to not unnecessarily load the d_op
structure for members that are often NULL using the DCACHE_OP_xyz bits
in dentry->d_flags, and this does something very similar for the inode
ops that are used during pathname lookup.

It also re-orders the fields so that the fields accessed by 'stat' are
together at the beginning of the inode structure, and roughly in the
order accessed.

The effect of this seems to be in the 1-2% range for an empty kernel
"make -j" run (which is fairly kernel-intensive, mostly in filename
lookup), so it's visible.  The numbers are fairly noisy, though, and
likely depend a lot on exact microarchitecture.  So there's more tuning
to be done.

44396f4b5c fs: add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP flag for d_flags
Btrfs (and I'd venture most other fs's) stores its indexes in nice disk order
for readdir, but unfortunately in the case of anything that stats the files in
order that readdir spits back (like oh say ls) that means we still have to do
the normal lookup of the file, which means looking up our other index and then
looking up the inode.  What I want is a way to create dummy dentries when we
find them in readdir so that when ls or anything else subsequently does a
stat(), we already have the location information in the dentry and can go
straight to the inode itself.  The lookup stuff just assumes that if it finds a
dentry it is done, it doesn't perform a lookup.  So add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP
flag so that the lookup code knows it still needs to run i_op->lookup() on the
parent to get the inode for the dentry.  I have tested this with btrfs and I
went from something that looks like this

8aef188452 VFS: Fix vfsmount overput on simultaneous automount
[Kudos to dhowells for tracking that crap down]

If two processes attempt to cause automounting on the same mountpoint at the
same time, the vfsmount holding the mountpoint will be left with one too few
references on it, causing a BUG when the kernel tries to clean up.

The problem is that lock_mount() drops the caller's reference to the
mountpoint's vfsmount in the case where it finds something already mounted on
the mountpoint as it transits to the mounted filesystem and replaces path->mnt
with the new mountpoint vfsmount.

During a pathwalk, however, we don't take a reference on the vfsmount if it is
the same as the one in the nameidata struct, but do_add_mount() doesn't know
this.

The fix is to make sure we have a ref on the vfsmount of the mountpoint before
calling do_add_mount().  However, if lock_mount() doesn't transit, we're then
left with an extra ref on the mountpoint vfsmount which needs releasing.
We can handle that in follow_managed() by not making assumptions about what
we can and what we cannot get from lookup_mnt() as the current code does.

The callers of follow_managed() expect that reference to path->mnt will be
grabbed iff path->mnt has been changed.  follow_managed() and follow_automount()
keep track of whether such reference has been grabbed and assume that it'll
happen in those and only those cases that'll have us return with changed
path->mnt.  That assumption is almost correct - it breaks in case of
racing automounts and in even harder to hit race between following a mountpoint
and a couple of mount --move.  The thing is, we don't need to make that
assumption at all - after the end of loop in follow_manage() we can check
if path->mnt has ended up unchanged and do mntput() if needed.

The BUG can be reproduced with the following test program:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <sys/types.h>
	#include <sys/stat.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		int pid, ws;
		struct stat buf;
		pid = fork();
		stat(argv[1], &buf);
		if (pid > 0) wait(&ws);
		return 0;
	}

and the following procedure:

 (1) Mount an NFS volume that on the server has something else mounted on a
     subdirectory.  For instance, I can mount / from my server:

	mount warthog:/ /mnt -t nfs4 -r

     On the server /data has another filesystem mounted on it, so NFS will see
     a change in FSID as it walks down the path, and will mark /mnt/data as
     being a mountpoint.  This will cause the automount code to be triggered.

     !!! Do not look inside the mounted fs at this point !!!

 (2) Run the above program on a file within the submount to generate two
     simultaneous automount requests:

	/tmp/forkstat /mnt/data/testfile

 (3) Unmount the automounted submount:

	umount /mnt/data

 (4) Unmount the original mount:

	umount /mnt

     At this point the kernel should throw a BUG with something like the
     following:

	BUG: Dentry ffff880032e3c5c0{i=2,n=} still in use (1) [unmount of nfs4 0:12]

Note that the bug appears on the root dentry of the original mount, not the
mountpoint and not the submount because sys_umount() hasn't got to its final
mntput_no_expire() yet, but this isn't so obvious from the call trace:

as do_umount() is inlined.  However, you can see release_mounts() in there.

Note also that it may be necessary to have multiple CPU cores to be able to
trigger this bug.

[ 2862.501007]  [<ffffffff814c14fb>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

A reliable way to reproduce this bug is:
Login to KDE, run 'rsnapshot sync', and apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk,
and apt-get remove openjdk-6-jdk.

The buggy part of the patch is this:
	struct inode *inode = NULL;
.....
-               if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len])
-                       goto slashes;
                inode = dentry->d_inode;
-               if (inode)
-                       ihold(inode);
+               if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len] || !inode)
+                       goto slashes;
+               ihold(inode)
...
	if (inode)
		iput(inode);	/* truncate the inode here */

If nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is nonzero (and thus goto slashes branch is taken),
and dentry->d_inode is non-NULL, then this code now does an additional iput on
the inode, which is wrong.

Fix this by only setting the inode variable if nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is 0.

If user space attempts to remove a non-existent file or directory, and

Either error code is arguably valid/correct, but ENOENT is a more

b5afd2c406 vfs: fix vfs_rename_dir for FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems
vfs_rename_dir() doesn't properly account for filesystems with
FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE.  If new_dentry has a target inode attached, it
unhashes the new_dentry prior to the rename() iop and rehashes it after,
but doesn't account for the possibility that rename() may have swapped
{old,new}_dentry.  For FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems, it rehashes
new_dentry (now the old renamed-from name, which d_move() expected to go
away), such that a subsequent lookup will find it.  Currently all
FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems compensate for this by failing in
d_revalidate.

The bug was introduced by: commit 349457ccf2
"[PATCH] Allow file systems to manually d_move() inside of ->rename()"

Fix by not rehashing the new dentry.  Rehashing used to be needed by
d_move() but isn't anymore.

26cf46be95 vfs: micro-optimize acl_permission_check()
It's a hot function, and we're better off not mixing types in the mask
calculations.  The compiler just ends up mixing 16-bit and 32-bit
operations, for no good reason.

So do everything in 'unsigned int' rather than mixing 'unsigned int'
masking with a 'umode_t' (16-bit) mode variable.

This, together with the parent commit (47a150edc2: "Cache user_ns in
struct cred") makes acl_permission_check() much nicer.

c1530019e3 vfs: Fix absolute RCU path walk failures due to uninitialized seq number
During RCU walk in path_lookupat and path_openat, the rcu lookup
frequently failed if looking up an absolute path, because when root
directory was looked up, seq number was not properly set in nameidata.

We dropped out of RCU walk in nameidata_drop_rcu due to mismatch in
directory entry's seq number.  We reverted to slow path walk that need
to take references.

With the following patch, I saw a 50% increase in an exim mail server
benchmark throughput on a 4-socket Nehalem-EX system.
