2016-06-10vfs: make the string hashes salt the hashLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
We always mixed in the parent pointer into the dentry name hash, but we did it late at lookup time. It turns out that we can simplify that lookup-time action by salting the hash with the parent pointer early instead of late. A few other users of our string hashes also wanted to mix in their own pointers into the hash, and those are updated to use the same mechanism. Hash users that don't have any particular initial salt can just use the NULL pointer as a no-salt.

Instances either don't look at it at all (the majority of cases) or only want it to find the superblock (which can be had as dentry->d_sb). A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry->d_inode - the only precaution needed is the check that it hadn't been replaced with NULL by rmdir() or by overwriting rename(), which case should be simply treated as cache miss.

2012-11-18sysctl: Pass useful parameters to sysctl permissionsEric W. Biederman1-4/+5
- Current is implicitly avaiable so passing current->nsproxy isn't useful. - The ctl_table_header is needed to find how the sysctl table is connected to the rest of sysctl. - ctl_table_root is avaiable in the ctl_table_header so no need to it. With these changes it becomes possible to write a version of net_sysctl_permission that takes into account the network namespace of the sysctl table, an important feature in extending the user namespace.

2012-10-09rbtree: fix incorrect rbtree node insertion in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.cMichel Lespinasse1-0/+1
The recently added code to use rbtrees in sysctl did not follow the proper rbtree interface on insertion - it was calling rb_link_node() which inserts a new node into the binary tree, but missed the call to rb_insert_color() which properly balances the rbtree and establishes all expected rbtree invariants. I found out about this only because faulty commit also used rb_init_node(), which I am removing within this patchset. But I think it's an easy mistake to make, and it makes me wonder if we should change the rbtree API so that insertions would be done with a single rb_insert() call (even if its implementation could still inline the rb_link_node() part and call a private __rb_insert_color function to do the rebalancing).

2012-10-09rbtree: empty nodes have no colorMichel Lespinasse1-3/+1
Empty nodes have no color. We can make use of this property to simplify the code emitted by the RB_EMPTY_NODE and RB_CLEAR_NODE macros. Also, we can get rid of the rb_init_node function which had been introduced by commit 88d19cf37952 ("timers: Add rb_init_node() to allow for stack allocated rb nodes") to avoid some issue with the empty node's color not being initialized. I'm not sure what the RB_EMPTY_NODE checks in rb_prev() / rb_next() are doing there, though. axboe introduced them in commit 10fd48f2376d ("rbtree: fixed reversed RB_EMPTY_NODE and rb_next/prev"). The way I see it, the 'empty node' abstraction is only used by rbtree users to flag nodes that they haven't inserted in any rbtree, so asking the predecessor or successor of such nodes doesn't make any sense. One final rb_init_node() caller was recently added in sysctl code to implement faster sysctl name lookups. This code doesn't make use of RB_EMPTY_NODE at all, and from what I could see it only called rb_init_node() under the mistaken assumption that such initialization was required before node insertion.

2012-09-17fs/proc: fix potential unregister_sysctl_table hangFrancesco Ruggeri1-3/+2
The unregister_sysctl_table() function hangs if all references to its ctl_table_header structure are not dropped. This can happen sometimes because of a leak in proc_sys_lookup(): proc_sys_lookup() gets a reference to the table via lookup_entry(), but it does not release it when a subsequent call to sysctl_follow_link() fails. This patch fixes this leak by making sure the reference is always dropped on return.

Pull sysctl updates from Eric Biederman: - Rewrite of sysctl for speed and clarity. Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing network devices. sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c.

2012-03-22sysctl: protect poll() in entries that may go awayLucas De Marchi1-1/+16
Protect code accessing ctl_table by grabbing the header with grab_header() and after releasing with sysctl_head_finish(). This is needed if poll() is called in entries created by modules: currently only hostname and domainname support poll(), but this bug may be triggered when/if modules use it and if user called poll() in a file that doesn't support it.

2012-01-24sysctl: Index sysctl directories with rbtrees.Eric W. Biederman1-90/+134
One of the most important jobs of sysctl is to export network stack tunables. Several of those tunables are per network device. In several instances people are running with 1000+ network devices in there network stacks, which makes the simple per directory linked list in sysctl a scaling bottleneck. Replace O(N^2) sysctl insertion and lookup times with O(NlogN) by using an rbtree to index the sysctl directories.

I have commented out the code that adds and removes files under /proc/sys/net/dev_snmp6 and taken measurments of creating and destroying 100,000 dummies to verify the sysctl continues to scale.

Piecing together directories by looking first in one directory tree, than in another directory tree and finally in a third directory tree makes it hard to verify that some directory entries are not multiply defined and makes it hard to create efficient implementations the sysctl filesystem. Replace the sysctl wide list of roots with autogenerated links from the core sysctl directory tree to the other sysctl directory trees. This simplifies sysctl directory reading and lookups as now only entries in a single sysctl directory tree need to be considered.

2012-01-24sysctl: Stop requiring explicit management of sysctl directoriesEric W. Biederman1-199/+143
Simplify the code and the sysctl semantics by autogenerating sysctl directories when a sysctl table is registered that needs the directories and autodeleting the directories when there are no more sysctl tables registered that need them. Autogenerating directories keeps sysctl tables from depending on each other, removing all of the arcane register/unregister ordering constraints and makes it impossible to get the order wrong when reigsering and unregistering sysctl tables. Autogenerating directories yields one unique entity that dentries can point to, retaining the current effective use of the dcache. Add struct ctl_dir as the type of these new autogenerated directories. The attached_by and attached_to fields in ctl_table_header are removed as they are no longer needed. The child field in ctl_table is no longer needed by the core of the sysctl code. ctl_table.child can be removed once all of the existing users have been updated.

2012-01-24sysctl: Initial support for auto-unregistering sysctl tables.Eric W. Biederman1-9/+19
Add nreg to ctl_table_header. When nreg drops to 0 the ctl_table_header will be unregistered. Factor out drop_sysctl_table from unregister_sysctl_table, and add the logic for decrementing nreg. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
2012-01-24sysctl: A more obvious version of grab_header.Eric W. Biederman1-4/+4
Instead of relying on sysct_head_next(NULL) to magically return the right header for the root directory instead explicitly transform NULL into the root directories header. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
2012-01-24sysctl: Remove the now unused ctl_table parent field.Eric W. Biederman1-11/+1
While useful at one time for selinux and the sysctl sanity checks those users no longer use the parent field and we can safely remove it. Inspired-by: Lucian Adrian Grijincu <lucian.grijincu@gmil.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
