Dave Kleikamp [Tue, 18 Nov 2008 03:49:05 +0000 (03:49 +0000)]
prevent cifs_writepages() from skipping unwritten pages

Fixes a data corruption under heavy stress in which pages could be left
dirty after all open instances of a inode have been closed.

In order to write contiguous pages whenever possible, cifs_writepages()
asks pagevec_lookup_tag() for more pages than it may write at one time.
Normally, it then resets index just past the last page written before calling
pagevec_lookup_tag() again.

If cifs_writepages() can't write the first page returned, it wasn't resetting
index, and the next call to pagevec_lookup_tag() resulted in skipping all of
the pages it previously returned, even though cifs_writepages() did nothing
with them.  This can result in data loss when the file descriptor is about
to be closed.

This patch ensures that index gets set back to the next returned page so
that none get skipped.

decide whether the device should wake up the system from sleep
states, set/unset this bit whenever WOL is enabled/disabled using
e1000_set_wol().  Accordingly, use device_can_wakeup() for checking

16 years agoFix inotify watch removal/umount races
Al Viro [Sat, 15 Nov 2008 01:15:43 +0000 (01:15 +0000)]
Fix inotify watch removal/umount races

Inotify watch removals suck violently.

To kick the watch out we need (in this order) inode->inotify_mutex and
ih->mutex.  That's fine if we have a hold on inode; however, for all
other cases we need to make damn sure we don't race with umount.  We can
*NOT* just grab a reference to a watch - inotify_unmount_inodes() will
happily sail past it and we'll end with reference to inode potentially
outliving its superblock.

Ideally we just want to grab an active reference to superblock if we
can; that will make sure we won't go into inotify_umount_inodes() until
we are done.  Cleanup is just deactivate_super().

However, that leaves a messy case - what if we *are* racing with
umount() and active references to superblock can't be acquired anymore?
We can bump ->s_count, grab ->s_umount, which will almost certainly wait
until the superblock is shut down and the watch in question is pining
for fjords.  That's fine, but there is a problem - we might have hit the
window between ->s_active getting to 0 / ->s_count - below S_BIAS (i.e.
the moment when superblock is past the point of no return and is heading
for shutdown) and the moment when deactivate_super() acquires
->s_umount.

We could just do drop_super() yield() and retry, but that's rather
antisocial and this stuff is luser-triggerable.  OTOH, having grabbed
->s_umount and having found that we'd got there first (i.e.  that
->s_root is non-NULL) we know that we won't race with
inotify_umount_inodes().

So we could grab a reference to watch and do the rest as above, just
with drop_super() instead of deactivate_super(), right? Wrong.  We had
to drop ih->mutex before we could grab ->s_umount.  So the watch
could've been gone already.

That still can be dealt with - we need to save watch->wd, do idr_find()
and compare its result with our pointer.  If they match, we either have
the damn thing still alive or we'd lost not one but two races at once,
the watch had been killed and a new one got created with the same ->wd
at the same address.  That couldn't have happened in inotify_destroy(),
but inotify_rm_wd() could run into that.  Still, "new one got created"
is not a problem - we have every right to kill it or leave it alone,
whatever's more convenient.

So we can use idr_find(...) == watch && watch->inode->i_sb == sb as
"grab it and kill it" check.  If it's been our original watch, we are
fine, if it's a newcomer - nevermind, just pretend that we'd won the
race and kill the fscker anyway; we are safe since we know that its
superblock won't be going away.

And yes, this is far beyond mere "not very pretty"; so's the entire
concept of inotify to start with.

cifs: reinstate sharing of SMB sessions sans races

We do this by abandoning the global list of SMB sessions and instead
moving to a per-server list. This entails adding a new list head to the
TCP_Server_Info struct. The refcounting for the cifsSesInfo is moved to
a non-atomic variable. We have to protect it by a lock anyway, so there's
no benefit to making it an atomic. The list and refcount are protected
by the global cifs_tcp_ses_lock.

The patch also adds a new routines to find and put SMB sessions and
that properly take and put references under the lock.

libata: improve phantom device detection

Currently libata uses four methods to detect device presence.

1. PHY status if available.
2. TF register R/W test (only promotes presence, never demotes)
3. device signature after reset
4. IDENTIFY failure detection in SFF state machine

Combination of the above works well in most cases but recently there
have been a few reports where a phantom device causes unnecessary
delay during probe.  In both cases, PHY status wasn't available.  In
one case, it passed #2 and #3 and failed IDENTIFY with ATA_ERR which
didn't qualify as #4.  The other failed #2 but as it passed #3 and #4,
it still caused failure.

In both cases, phantom device reported diagnostic failure, so these
cases can be safely worked around by considering any !ATA_DRQ IDENTIFY
failure as NODEV_HINT if diagnostic failure is set.

CRED: Allow kernel services to override LSM settings for task actions

Allow kernel services to override LSM settings appropriate to the actions
performed by a task by duplicating a set of credentials, modifying it and then
using task_struct::cred to point to it when performing operations on behalf of
a task.

This is used, for example, by CacheFiles which has to transparently access the
cache on behalf of a process that thinks it is doing, say, NFS accesses with a
potentially inappropriate (with respect to accessing the cache) set of
credentials.

This patch provides two LSM hooks for modifying a task security record:

 (*) security_kernel_act_as() which allows modification of the security datum
     with which a task acts on other objects (most notably files).

 (*) security_kernel_create_files_as() which allows modification of the
     security datum that is used to initialise the security data on a file that
     a task creates.

The patch also provides four new credentials handling functions, which wrap the
LSM functions:

 (1) prepare_kernel_cred()

     Prepare a set of credentials for a kernel service to use, based either on
     a daemon's credentials or on init_cred.  All the keyrings are cleared.

 (2) set_security_override()

     Set the LSM security ID in a set of credentials to a specific security
     context, assuming permission from the LSM policy.

 (3) set_security_override_from_ctx()

     As (2), but takes the security context as a string.

 (4) set_create_files_as()

     Set the file creation LSM security ID in a set of credentials to be the
     same as that on a particular inode.

current_cred() refers to the effective subjective credentials of the current
task.

prepare_creds() uses the objective creds as a base and commit_creds() changes
