* jffs2: allow to complete xattr integrity check on first GC scanJean-Christophe DUBOIS2012-05-131-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unlike file data integrity the xattr data integrity was not checked before some explicit access to the attribute was made. This could leave in the system a number of corrupted extended attributes which will be detected only at access time and possibly at a very late time compared to the time the corruption actually happened. This patch adds the ability to check for extended attribute integrity on first GC scan pass (similar to file data integrity check). This allows for all present attributes to be completly verified before any use of them. In order to work correctly this patch also needs the patch allowing JFFS2 to discriminate between recoverable and non recoverable errors on extended attributes.

* fs/vfs/security: pass last path component to LSM on inode creationEric Paris2011-02-011-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path, just the last component of the path. This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating /etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name exists it is fine to pass NULL. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

* [JFFS2] Tidy up licensing/copyright boilerplate.David Woodhouse2007-04-251-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason. We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody has the right to license it differently.

* [JFFS2][XATTR] Re-define xd->refcnt as atomic_tKaiGai Kohei2006-06-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In jffs2_release_xattr_datum(), it refers xd->refcnt to ensure whether releasing xd is allowed or not. But we can't hold xattr_sem since this function is called under spin_lock(&c->erase_completion_lock). Thus we have to refer it without any locking. This patch redefine xd->refcnt as atomic_t. It enables to refer xd->refcnt without any locking. Signed-off-by: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
* [JFFS2][XATTR] rid unnecessary writing of delete marker.KaiGai Kohei2006-06-271-22/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the followinf situation, an explicit delete marker is not necessary, because we can certainlly detect those obsolete xattr_datum or xattr_ref on next mounting. - When to delete xattr_datum node. - When to delete xattr_ref node on removing inode. - When to delete xattr_ref node on updating xattr. This patch rids writing delete marker in those situations. Signed-off-by: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
* [JFFS2][XATTR] using 'delete marker' for xdatum/xref deletionKaiGai Kohei2006-06-271-3/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - When xdatum is removed, a new xdatum with 'delete marker' is written. (version==0xffffffff means 'delete marker') - When xref is removed, a new xref with 'delete marker' is written. (odd-numbered xseqno means 'delete marker') - delete_xattr_(datum/xref)_delay() are new deletion functions are added. We can only use them if we can detect the target obsolete xdatum/xref as a orphan or errir one.

* [JFFS2] Put list of nodes in common part of ic/x_ref/x_datum structureDavid Woodhouse2006-05-221-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | We'll be using a proper list of nodes in the jffs2_xattr_datum and jffs2_xattr_ref structures, because the existing code to overwrite them is just broken. Put it in the common part at the front of the structure which is shared with the jffs2_inode_cache, so that the jffs2_link_node_ref() function can do the right thing.

* [JFFS2][XATTR] Remove jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic)KaiGai Kohei2006-05-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic). jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr_datum/ref() are called from gc.c directly. In original implementation, jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic) returns with holding a spinlock if 'ic' is inode_cache. But it returns after releasing a spinlock if 'ic' is xattr_datum/ref. It looks so confusable behavior. Thus, this patch makes caller manage locking/unlocking. [5/10] jffs2-xattr-v5.1-05-update_xattr_gc.patch Signed-off-by: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com>

* [JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5)KaiGai Kohei2006-05-131-0/+120
This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5). There are some significant differences from previous version posted at last December. The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support. Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype. In addition, some bugs are fixed. - A potential race condition was fixed. - Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed. - A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed. The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed and updated if necessary. Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.
