The audit subsystem treats syscall return codes as type long, unfortunately the audit_get_context() function mistakenly converts the return code to an int type in the parameters which could cause problems on systems where the sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).

AUDIT_USER_TTY, like all other messages sent from user-space, is sent NUL-terminated. Unlike other user-space audit messages, which come only from trusted sources, AUDIT_USER_TTY messages are processed using audit_log_n_untrustedstring(). This patch modifies AUDIT_USER_TTY handling to ignore the trailing NUL and use the "quoted_string" representation of the message if possible.

currently audit_log_n_untrustedstring() uses audit_string_contains_control() to check if the 'string' has any control characters. If the 'string' has an embedded NULL audit_string_contains_control() will return that the data has no control characters and will then pass the string to audit_log_n_string with the total length, not the length up to the first NULL. audit_log_n_string() does a memcpy of the entire length and so the actual audit record emitted may then contain a NULL and then whatever random memory is after the NULL. Since we want to log the entire octet stream (if we can't trust the data to be a string we can't trust that a NULL isn't actually a part of it) we should just consider NULL as a control character. If the caller is certain they want to stop at the first NULL they should be using audit_log_untrustedstring.

(updated) Added hunk that changes the comment, the rest is the same. EXECVE records contain a newline after every argument. auditd converts "\n" to " " so you cannot see newlines even in raw logs, but they're there nevertheless. If you're not using auditd, you need to work round them. These '\n' chars are can be easily replaced by spaces when creating record in kernel. Note there is no need for trailing '\n' in an audit record. record before this patch: "type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\"\na1=\"a\"\na2=\"b\"\na3=\"c\"\n" record after this patch: "type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\" a1=\"a\" a2=\"b\" a3=\"c\"" Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

pci mmap code was doing memtype reserve for a while now. Recently we added memtype tracking in remap_pfn_range, and pci code indirectly calls remap_pfn_range. So, we don't need seperate tracking in pci code anymore. Which means a patch that removes ~50 lines of code :-). Also, recently we found out that the pci tracking is not working as we expect it to work in some cases. Specifically, userlevel X mmap of pci, with some recent version of X, is having a problem with vm_page_prot getting reset. The pci tracking uses vm_page_prot to pass on the protection type from parent to child during fork. a) Parent does a pci mmap b) We look at PAT and get either UC_MINUS or WC mapping for parent c) Store that mapping type in vma vm_page_prot for future use d) This thread does a fork e) Fork results in mmap_ops ->open for the child process f) We get the vm_page_prot from vma and reserve that type for the child process But, between c) and e) above, the vma vm_page_prot is getting reset to zero. This results in PAT reserve failing at the time of fork as in here. http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123858163103240&w=2 This cleanup makes the above problem go away as we do not depend on vm_page_prot in our PAT code anymore.

During recovery, a node recovers orphans in it's slot and the dead node(s). But if the dead nodes were holding orphans in offline slots, they will be left unrecovered. If the dead node is the last one to die and is holding orphans in other slots and is the first one to mount, then it only recovers it's own slot, which leaves orphans in offline slots. This patch queues complete_recovery to clean orphans for all offline slots during mount and node recovery.

A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment. This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we want to read are uptodate. "block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4. With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance improvement.

For nfs exporting, ocfs2_get_dentry() returns the dentry for fh. ocfs2_get_dentry() may read from disk when the inode is not in memory, without any cross cluster lock. this leads to the file system loading a stale inode. This patch fixes above problem. Solution is that in case of inode is not in memory, we get the cluster lock(PR) of alloc inode where the inode in question is allocated from (this causes node on which deletion is done sync the alloc inode) before reading out the inode itsself. then we check the bitmap in the group (the inode in question allcated from) to see if the bit is clear. if it's clear then it's stale. if the bit is set, we then check generation as the existing code does. We have to read out the inode in question from disk first to know its alloc slot and allot bit. And if its not stale we read it out using ocfs2_iget(). The second read should then be from cache. And also we have to add a per superblock nfs_sync_lock to cover the lock for alloc inode and that for inode in question. this is because ocfs2_get_dentry() and ocfs2_delete_inode() lock on them in reverse order. nfs_sync_lock is locked in EX mode in ocfs2_get_dentry() and in PR mode in ocfs2_delete_inode(). so that mutliple ocfs2_delete_inode() can run concurrently in normal case.

In ocfs2, the block group search looks for the "emptiest" group to allocate from. So if the allocator has many equally(or almost equally) empty groups, new block group will tend to get spread out amongst them. So we add osb_inode_alloc_group in ocfs2_super to record the last used inode allocation group. For more details, please see http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/DesignDocs/InodeAllocationStrategy. I have done some basic test and the results are a ten times improvement on some cold-cache stat workloads. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <tao.ma@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
