* fs: Give dentry to inode_change_ok() instead of inodeJan Kara2017-02-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 31051c85b5e2aaaf6315f74c72a732673632a905 upstream. inode_change_ok() will be resposible for clearing capabilities and IMA extended attributes and as such will need dentry. Give it as an argument to inode_change_ok() instead of an inode. Also rename inode_change_ok() to setattr_prepare() to better relect that it does also some modifications in addition to checks.

* Revert "fs: Give dentry to inode_change_ok() instead of inode"Ben Hutchings2017-02-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | This reverts commit be9df699432235753c3824b0f5a27d46de7fdc9e, which was commit 31051c85b5e2aaaf6315f74c72a732673632a905 upstream. The backport breaks fuse and makes a mess of xfs, which can be improved by picking further upstream commits as I should have done in the first place.

* fs: Set the size of empty dirs to 0.Eric W. Biederman2015-09-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 4b75de8615050c1b0dd8d7794838c42f74ed36ba upstream. Before the make_empty_dir_inode calls were introduce into proc, sysfs, and sysctl those directories when stated reported an i_size of 0. make_empty_dir_inode started reporting an i_size of 2. At least one userspace application depended on stat returning i_size of 0. So modify make_empty_dir_inode to cause an i_size of 0 to be reported for these directories.

* fs: Add helper functions for permanently empty directories.Eric W. Biederman2015-07-151-0/+96
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit fbabfd0f4ee2e8847bf56edf481249ad1bb8c44d upstream. To ensure it is safe to mount proc and sysfs I need to check if filesystems that are mounted on top of them are mounted on truly empty directories. Given that some directories can gain entries over time, knowing that a directory is empty right now is insufficient. Therefore add supporting infrastructure for permantently empty directories that proc and sysfs can use when they create mount points for filesystems and fs_fully_visible can use to test for permanently empty directories to ensure that nothing will be gained by mounting a fresh copy of proc or sysfs.

* vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entryLinus Torvalds2012-05-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows comparing hash and len in one operation on 64-bit architectures. Right now only __d_lookup_rcu() takes advantage of this, since that is the case we care most about. The use of anonymous struct/unions hides the alternate 64-bit approach from most users, the exception being a few cases where we initialize a 'struct qstr' with a static initializer. This makes the problematic cases use a new QSTR_INIT() helper function for that (but initializing just the name pointer with a "{ .name = xyzzy }" initializer remains valid, as does just copying another qstr structure).

Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2.

Also clean up and document inode_change_ok to make this obvious. As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error. This simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize almost everywhere. Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious. Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an audit for its removal anyway.

* fs: introduce new truncate sequencenpiggin@suse.de2010-05-271-0/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a new truncate calling sequence into fs/mm subsystems. Rather than setattr > vmtruncate > truncate, have filesystems call their truncate sequence from ->setattr if filesystem specific operations are required. vmtruncate is deprecated, and truncate_pagecache and inode_newsize_ok helpers introduced previously should be used. simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go away. simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache). To implement the new truncate sequence: - filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in the setattr method rather than ->truncate. - vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed in the fs code. - convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin, cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous). - inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode. - make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence. Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called until i_size has already changed. This means it is not allowed to fail the call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle block deallocation).

* rename the generic fsync implementationsChristoph Hellwig2010-05-271-9/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently. The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with, the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync which can lead to some confusion. This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious what to expect. In addition add some documentation for both methods. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
