It is OK to let access() go without using a mnt_want/drop_write() pair because it doesn't actually do writes to the filesystem, and it is inherently racy anyway. This is a rare case when it is OK to use __mnt_is_readonly() directly. Acked-by:

chown/chmod,etc... don't call permission in the same way that the normal "open for write" calls do. They still write to the filesystem, so bump the write count during these operations. Acked-by:

Dave Hansen authored
This is the first really tricky patch in the series. It elevates the writer count on a mount each time a non-special file is opened for write. We used to do this in may_open(), but Miklos pointed out that __dentry_open() is used as well to create filps. This will cover even those cases, while a call in may_open() would not have. There is also an elevated count around the vfs_create() call in open_namei(). See the comments for more details, but we need this to fix a 'create, remount, fail r/w open()' race. Some filesystems forego the use of normal vfs calls to create struct files. Make sure that these users elevate the mnt writer count because they will get __fput(), and we need to make sure they're balanced. Acked-by:

This basically audits the callers of xattr_permission(), which calls permission() and can perform writes to the filesystem. [AV: add missing parts - removexattr() and nfsd posix acls, plug for a leak spotted by Miklos] Acked-by:

Dave Hansen authored
This takes care of all of the direct callers of vfs_mknod(). Since a few of these cases also handle normal file creation as well, this also covers some calls to vfs_create(). So that we don't have to make three mnt_want/drop_write() calls inside of the switch statement, we move some of its logic outside of the switch and into a helper function suggested by Christoph. This also encapsulates a fix for mknod(S_IFREG) that Miklos found. [AV: merged mkdir handling, added missing nfsd pieces] Acked-by:

The emergency remount code forcibly removes FMODE_WRITE from filps. The r/o bind mount code notices that this was done without a proper mnt_drop_write() and properly gives a warning. This patch does a mnt_drop_write() to keep everything balanced. Acked-by:

If someone decides to demote a file from r/w to just r/o, they can use this same code as __fput(). NFS does just that, and will use this in the next patch. AV: drop write access in __fput() only after we evict from file list. Signed-off-by:
-
Dave Hansen authored
This patch adds two function mnt_want_write() and mnt_drop_write(). These are used like a lock pair around and fs operations that might cause a write to the filesystem. Before these can become useful, we must first cover each place in the VFS where writes are performed with a want/drop pair. When that is complete, we can actually introduce code that will safely check the counts before allowing r/w<->r/o transitions to occur. Acked-by:

Christoph Hellwig authored
open_namei() will, in the future, need to take mount write counts over its creation and truncation (via may_open()) operations. It needs to keep these write counts until any potential filp that is created gets __fput()'d. This gets complicated in the error handling and becomes very murky as to how far open_namei() actually got, and whether or not that mount write count was taken. That makes it a bad interface. All that the current do_filp_open() really does is allocate the nameidata on the stack, then call open_namei(). So, this merges those two functions and moves filp_open() over to namei.c so it can be close to its buddy: do_filp_open(). It also gets a kerneldoc comment in the process. Acked-by:
-
Dave Hansen authored
My end goal here is to make sure all users of may_open() return filps. This will ensure that we properly release mount write counts which were taken for the filp in may_open(). This patch moves the sys_open flags to namei flags calculation into fs/namei.c. We'll shortly be moving the nameidata_to_filp() calls into namei.c, and this gets the sys_open flags to a place where we can get at them when we need them. Acked-by:

Ahmed S. Darwish authored
Add the security= boot parameter. This is done to avoid LSM registration clashes in case of more than one bult-in module. User can choose a security module to enable at boot. If no security= boot parameter is specified, only the first LSM asking for registration will be loaded. An invalid security module name will be treated as if no module has been chosen. LSM modules must check now if they are allowed to register by calling security_module_enable(ops) first. Modify SELinux and SMACK to do so. Do not let SMACK register smackfs if it was not chosen on boot. Smackfs assumes that smack hooks are registered and the initial task security setup (swapper->security) is done. Signed-off-by:

Introduce inode_getsecid(inode, secid) and ipc_getsecid(ipcp, secid) LSM hooks. These hooks will be used instead of similar exported SELinux interfaces. Let {inode,ipc,task}_getsecid hooks set the secid to 0 by default if CONFIG_SECURITY is not defined or if the hook is set to NULL (dummy). This is done to notify the caller that no valid secid exists. Signed-off-by: -

This patch effectively reverts commit d0498d9a aka "[NET]: Do not allocate unneeded memory for dev->priv alignment." It was found to be buggy because of final unconditional += NETDEV_ALIGN_CONST removal. For example, for sizeof(struct net_device) being 2048 bytes, "alloc_size" was also 2048 bytes, but allocator with debugging options turned on started giving out !32-byte aligned memory resulting in redzones overwrites. Patch does small optimization in ->priv'less case: bumping size to next 32-byte boundary was always done to ensure ->priv will also be aligned. But, no ->priv, no need to do that. Signed-off-by:

The kernel now panics reliably on boot if you have a SATAPI device connected. The problem was introduced by the libata merge trying to pull out all the SFF code into a separate module. Unfortunately, if you're a satapi device you usually need to call atapi_request_sense, which has a bare invocation of a SFF callback which is NULL on non-SFF HBAs. Fix this by making the call conditional. Signed-off-by:
