* | [PATCH] Generic infrastructure for aclsAndreas Gruenbacher2006-09-293-0/+202
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patches solve the following problem: We want to grant access to devices based on who is logged in from where, etc. This includes switching back and forth between multiple user sessions, etc. Using ACLs to define device access for logged-in users gives us all the flexibility we need in order to fully solve the problem. Device special files nowadays usually live on tmpfs, hence tmpfs ACLs. Different distros have come up with solutions that solve the problem to different degrees: SUSE uses a resource manager which tracks login sessions and sets ACLs on device inodes as appropriate. RedHat uses pam_console, which changes the primary file ownership to the logged-in user. Others use a set of groups that users must be in in order to be granted the appropriate accesses. The freedesktop.org project plans to implement a combination of a console-tracker and a HAL-device-list based solution to grant access to devices to users, and more distros will likely follow this approach. These patches have first been posted here on 2 February 2005, and again on 8 January 2006. We have been shipping them in SLES9 and SLES10 with no problems reported.

* | [PATCH] enforce RLIMIT_NOFILE in poll()Chris Snook2006-09-291-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | POSIX states that poll() shall fail with EINVAL if nfds > OPEN_MAX. In this context, POSIX is referring to sysconf(OPEN_MAX), which is the value of current->signal->rlim[RLIMIT_NOFILE].rlim_cur in the linux kernel, not the compile-time constant which happens to also be named OPEN_MAX. In the current code, an application may poll up to max_fdset file descriptors, even if this exceeds RLIMIT_NOFILE. The current code also breaks applications which poll more than max_fdset descriptors, which worked circa 2.4.18 when the check was against NR_OPEN, which is 1024*1024. This patch enforces the limit precisely as POSIX defines, even if RLIMIT_NOFILE has been changed at run time with ulimit -n. To elaborate on the rationale for this, there are three cases: 1) RLIMIT_NOFILE is at the default value of 1024 In this (default) case, the patch changes nothing. Calls with nfds > 1024 fail with EINVAL both before and after the patch, and calls with nfds <= 1024 pass the check both before and after the patch, since 1024 is the initial value of max_fdset. 2) RLIMIT_NOFILE has been raised above the default In this case, poll() becomes more permissive, allowing polling up to RLIMIT_NOFILE file descriptors even if less than 1024 have been opened. The patch won't introduce new errors here. If an application somehow depends on poll() failing when it polls with duplicate or invalid file descriptors, it's already broken, since this is already allowed below 1024, and will also work above 1024 if enough file descriptors have been open at some point to cause max_fdset to have been increased above nfds. 3) RLIMIT_NOFILE has been lowered below the default In this case, the system administrator or the user has gone out of their way to protect the system from inefficient (or malicious) applications wasting kernel memory. The current code allows polling up to 1024 file descriptors even if RLIMIT_NOFILE is much lower, which is not what the user or administrator intended. Well-written applications which only poll valid, unique file descriptors will never notice the difference, because they'll hit the limit on open() first. If an application gets broken because of the patch in this case, then it was already poorly/maliciously designed, and allowing it to work in the past was a violation of POSIX and a DoS risk on low-resource systems. With this patch, poll() will permit exactly what POSIX suggests, no more, no less, and for any run-time value set with ulimit -n, not just 256 or 1024. There are existing apps which which poll a large number of file descriptors, some of which may be invalid, and if those numbers stradle 1024, they currently fail with or without the patch in -mm, though they worked fine under 2.4.18.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ISO9660 file system There was an I/O error that prevented reading the last partial block of large files in an ISO9660 filesystem. The error was generated when a file comprised more than one section and had a size that was not an exact multiple of the filesystem block size. This patch removes the check (and failure) for reading into the last partial block (and possibly beyond) for multiple-section files. It worked in my testing to prevent reading beyond the end of the section; my first patch just incremented the sect_size block count for a partial block and continued doing the check. But there is a commment in the source code about reading beyond the end of the file to fill a page cache. Failing to access beyond the section would prevent reading beyond the end of the file.

* | [PATCH] fix wrong error code on interrupted close syscallsErnie Petrides2006-09-291-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem is that close() syscalls can call a file system's flush handler, which in turn might sleep interruptibly and ultimately pass back an -ERESTARTSYS return value. This happens for files backed by an interruptible NFS mount under nfs_file_flush() when a large file has just been written and nfs_wait_bit_interruptible() detects that there is a signal pending. I have a test case where the "strace" command is used to attach to a process sleeping in such a close(). Since the SIGSTOP is forced onto the victim process (removing it from the thread's "blocked" mask in force_sig_info()), the RPC wait is interrupted and the close() is terminated early. But the file table entry has already been cleared before the flush handler was called. Thus, when the syscall is restarted, the file descriptor appears closed and an EBADF error is returned (which is wrong). What's worse, there is the hypothetical case where another thread of a multi-threaded application might have reused the file descriptor, in which case that file would be mistakenly closed. The bottom line is that close() syscalls are not restartable, and thus -ERESTARTSYS return values should be mapped to -EINTR. This is consistent with the close(2) manual page. The fix is below.

* | [PATCH] Chardev checking of overlapping rangesAmos Waterland2006-09-291-5/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code in __register_chrdev_region checks that if the driver wishing to register has the same major as an existing driver the new minor range is strictly less than the existing minor range. However, it does not also check that the new minor range is strictly greater than the existing minor range. That is, if driver X has registered with major=x and minor=0-3, __register_chrdev_region will allow driver Y to register with major=x and minor=1-4.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixed race on put_files_struct on exec with proc. Restoring files on current on error path may lead to proc having a pointer to already kfree-d files_struct. ->files changing at exit.c and khtread.c are safe as exit_files() makes all things under lock.

* | [PATCH] add -o flush for fatChris Mason2006-09-293-3/+80
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fat is commonly used on removable media. Mounting with -o flush tells the FS to write things to disk as quickly as possible. It is like -o sync, but much faster (and not as safe).

* | [PATCH] fs.h: ifdef security fieldsAlexey Dobriyan2006-09-291-1/+0

So, wrap them under CONFIG_SECURITY. Adding config option for each security field is likely an overkill. Following Stephen Smalley's suggestion, i_security initialization is moved to security_inode_alloc() to not clutter core code with ifdefs and make alloc_inode() codepath tiny little bit smaller and faster. The user of (highly greppable) struct fown_struct::security field is still to be found. I've checked every "fown_struct" and every "f_owner" occurence. Additionally it's removal doesn't break i386 allmodconfig build. struct inode, struct file, struct super_block, struct fown_struct become smaller. P.S. Combined with two reiserfs inode shrinking patches sent to linux-fsdevel, I can finally suck 12 reiserfs inodes into one page. /proc/slabinfo -ext2_inode_cache 388 10 +ext2_inode_cache 384 10 -inode_cache 280 14 +inode_cache 276 14 -proc_inode_cache 296 13 +proc_inode_cache 292 13 -reiser_inode_cache 336 11 +reiser_inode_cache 332 12 <= -shmem_inode_cache 372 10 +shmem_inode_cache 368 10 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
