2011-10-19jffs2: implement mount option parsing and compression overridingAndres Salomon5-4/+112
Currently jffs2 has compile-time constants (and .config options) controlling whether or not the various compression/decompression drivers are built in and enabled. This is fine for embedded systems, but it clashes with distribution kernels. Distro kernels tend to turn on everything; this causes OpenFirmware to fall over, as it understands ZLIB-compressed inodes. Booting a kernel that has LZO compression enabled, writing to the boot partition, and then rebooting causes OFW to fail to read the kernel from the filesystem. This is because LZO compression has priority when writing new data to jffs2, if LZO is enabled. This patch adds mount option parsing, and a single supported option ("compr=none"). This adds the flexibility of being able to specify which compressor overrides on a per-superblock basis. For now, we can simply disable compression; additional flexibility coming soon. v2: kill some printks, and implement show_options as suggested by Artem Bityutskiy.

2011-08-11pnfs: Automatically select blocks & objects layoutsBoaz Harrosh1-14/+4
Just like files-layout, blocks & objects layouts are part of the NFS 4.1 protocol and should be automatically selected if NFS_4_1 is selected. The small problem is that these depend on other Kernel support being present, while files only depends on NFS itself. This patch removes from the user choice the presence of objects and blocks layout. But makes sure these are selected only if the depended subsystems are present in the Kernel.

2011-08-11move RLIMIT_NPROC check from set_user() to do_execve_common()Vasiliy Kulikov1-0/+17
The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and similar functions. Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on rlimit only. But the check created new security threat: many poorly written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it cannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to buggy programs. The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons spawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve(). The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues. Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve() behaviour is not changed. Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still exceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was exceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork(). The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one. Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag). v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

2011-08-06vfs: optimize inode cache access patternsLinus Torvalds3-12/+69
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. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2011-08-06exofs: ios: Move to a per inode components & device-tableBoaz Harrosh4-183/+218
Exofs raid engine was saving on memory space by having a single layout-info, single pid, and a single device-table, global to the filesystem. Then passing a credential and object_id info at the io_state level, private for each inode. It would also devise this contraption of rotating the device table view for each inode->ino to spread out the device usage. This is not compatible with the pnfs-objects standard, demanding that each inode can have it's own layout-info, device-table, and each object component it's own pid, oid and creds. So: Bring exofs raid engine to be usable for generic pnfs-objects use by: * Define an exofs_comp structure that holds obj_id and credential info. * Break up exofs_layout struct to an exofs_components structure that holds a possible array of exofs_comp and the array of devices + the size of the arrays. * Add a "comps" parameter to get_io_state() that specifies the ids creds and device array to use for each IO. This enables to keep the layout global, but the device-table view, creds and IDs at the inode level. It only adds two 64bit to each inode, since some of these members already existed in another form. * ios raid engine now access layout-info and comps-info through the passed pointers. Everything is pre-prepared by caller for generic access of these structures and arrays. At the exofs Level: * Super block holds an exofs_components struct that holds the device array, previously in layout. The devices there are in device-table order. The device-array is twice bigger and repeats the device-table twice so now each inode's device array can point to a random device and have a round-robin view of the table, making it compatible to previous exofs versions. * Each inode has an exofs_components struct that is initialized at load time, with it's own view of the device table IDs and creds. When doing IO this gets passed to the io_state together with the layout. While preforming this change. Bugs where found where credentials with the wrong IDs where used to access the different SB objects (super.c). As well as some dead code. It was never noticed because the target we use does not check the credentials. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

So add a new exofs_get_rw_state() API for use when writeing/reading. All other simple cases are left using the old way. The major change to this is that now we need to call exofs_get_io_state later at inode.c::read_exec and inode.c::write_exec when we actually know these things. So this patch is kept separate so I can test things apart from other changes. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

Fix that by looking up the bit properly in the 'fdt->close_on_exec' bit array.

In the general raid-group case the truncate was wrong in that it did not also fix the object length of the neighboring groups. There are two bad cases in the old code: 1. Space that should be freed was not. 2. If a file That was big is truncated small, then made bigger again, the holes would not contain zeros but could expose old data. (If the growing of the file expands to more than a full groups cycle + group size (> S + T)) Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

2011-08-04exofs: BUG: Avoid sbi reallocBoaz Harrosh2-24/+30
Since the beginning we realloced the sbi structure when a bigger then one device table was specified. (I know that was really stupid). Then much later when "register bdi" was added (By Jens) it was registering the pointer to sbi->bdi before the realloc. We never saw this problem because up till now the realloc did not do anything since the device table was small enough to fit in the original allocation. But once we starting testing with large device tables (Bigger then 28) we noticed the crash of writeback operating on a deallocated pointer. * Avoid the all mess by allocating the device-table as a second array and get rid of the variable-sized structure and the rest of this mess. * Take the chance to clean near by structures and comments. * Add a needed dprint on startup to indicate the loaded layout. * Also move the bdi registration to the very end because it will only fail in a low memory, which will probably fail before hand. There are many more likely causes to not load before that. This way the error handling is made simpler. (Just doing this would be enough to fix the BUG) Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

2011-08-03mm: a few small updates for radix-swapHugh Dickins1-4/+1
Remove PageSwapBacked (!page_is_file_cache) cases from add_to_page_cache_locked() and add_to_page_cache_lru(): those pages now go through shmem_add_to_page_cache(). Remove a comment on maximum tmpfs size from fsstack_copy_inode_size(), and add a comment on swap entries to invalidate_mapping_pages(). And mincore_page() uses find_get_page() on what might be shmem or a tmpfs file: allow for a radix_tree_exceptional_entry(), and proceed to find_get_page() on swapper_space if so (oh, swapper_space needs #ifdef).
