* [PATCH] VFS: change struct file to use struct pathJosef "Jeff" Sipek2006-12-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}. Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

* [PATCH] fix missed create event for directory auditAmy Griffis2006-08-031-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | When an object is created via a symlink into an audited directory, audit misses the event due to not having collected the inode data for the directory. Modify __audit_inode_child() to copy the parent inode data if a parent wasn't found in audit_names[]. Signed-off-by: Amy Griffis <amy.griffis@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* [PATCH] log more info for directory entry change eventsAmy Griffis2006-06-201-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an audit event involves changes to a directory entry, include a PATH record for the directory itself. A few other notable changes: - fixed audit_inode_child() hooks in fsnotify_move() - removed unused flags arg from audit_inode() - added audit log routines for logging a portion of a string Here's some sample output. before patch: type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1149821605.320:26): arch=40000003 syscall=39 success=yes exit=0 a0=bf8d3c7c a1=1ff a2=804e1b8 a3=bf8d3c7c items=1 ppid=739 pid=800 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=ttyS0 comm="mkdir" exe="/bin/mkdir" subj=root:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 type=CWD msg=audit(1149821605.320:26): cwd="/root" type=PATH msg=audit(1149821605.320:26): item=0 name="foo" parent=164068 inode=164010 dev=03:00 mode=040755 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=root:object_r:user_home_t:s0 after patch: type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1149822032.332:24): arch=40000003 syscall=39 success=yes exit=0 a0=bfdd9c7c a1=1ff a2=804e1b8 a3=bfdd9c7c items=2 ppid=714 pid=777 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=ttyS0 comm="mkdir" exe="/bin/mkdir" subj=root:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 type=CWD msg=audit(1149822032.332:24): cwd="/root" type=PATH msg=audit(1149822032.332:24): item=0 name="/root" inode=164068 dev=03:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=root:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0 type=PATH msg=audit(1149822032.332:24): item=1 name="foo" inode=164010 dev=03:00 mode=040755 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=root:object_r:user_home_t:s0 Signed-off-by: Amy Griffis <amy.griffis@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| * [PATCH] Collect more inode information during syscall processing.Amy Griffis2006-03-201-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch augments the collection of inode info during syscall processing. It represents part of the functionality that was provided by the auditfs patch included in RHEL4. Specifically, it: - Collects information for target inodes created or removed during syscalls. Previous code only collects information for the target inode's parent. - Adds the audit_inode() hook to syscalls that operate on a file descriptor (e.g. fchown), enabling audit to do inode filtering for these calls. - Modifies filtering code to check audit context for either an inode # or a parent inode # matching a given rule. - Modifies logging to provide inode # for both parent and child. - Protect debug info from NULL audit_names.name.

* | [PATCH] inotify: lock avoidance with parent watch status in dentryNick Piggin2006-03-251-0/+19
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previous inotify work avoidance is good when inotify is completely unused, but it breaks down if even a single watch is in place anywhere in the system. Robin Holt notices that udev is one such culprit - it slows down a 512-thread application on a 512 CPU system from 6 seconds to 22 minutes. Solve this by adding a flag in the dentry that tells inotify whether or not its parent inode has a watch on it. Event queueing to parent will skip taking locks if this flag is cleared. Setting and clearing of this flag on all child dentries versus event delivery: this is no in terms of race cases, and that was shown to be equivalent to always performing the check. The essential behaviour is that activity occuring _after_ a watch has been added and _before_ it has been removed, will generate events.

* [PATCH] inotify: add MOVE_SELF eventJohn McCutchan2005-08-151-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a MOVE_SELF event to inotify. It is sent whenever the inode you are watching is moved. We need this event so that we can catch something like this: - app1: watch /etc/mtab - app2: cp /etc/mtab /tmp/mtab-work mv /etc/mtab /etc/mtab~ mv /tmp/mtab-work /etc/mtab app1 still thinks it's watching /etc/mtab but it's actually watching /etc/mtab~.

* [PATCH] fsnotify_name/inoderemoveJohn McCutchan2005-08-081-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch below unhooks fsnotify from vfs_unlink & vfs_rmdir. It introduces two new fsnotify calls, that are hooked in at the dcache level. This not only more closely matches how the VFS layer works, it also avoids the problem with locking and inode lifetimes. The two functions are - fsnotify_nameremove -- called when a directory entry is going away. It notifies the PARENT of the deletion. This is called from d_delete(). - inoderemove -- called when the files inode itself is going away. It notifies the inode that is being deleted. This is called from dentry_iput().

* [PATCH] Clean up inotify delete race fixJohn McCutchan2005-08-041-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | This avoids the whole #ifdef mess by just getting a copy of dentry->d_inode before d_delete is called - that makes the codepaths the same for the INOTIFY/DNOTIFY cases as for the regular no-notify case. I've been running this under a Gnome session for the last 10 minutes. Inotify is being used extensively.

| | | | | | | | | | When a file is moved over an existing file that you are watching, inotify won't send you a DELETE_SELF event and it won't unref the inode until the inotify instance is closed by the application.

* [PATCH] inotifyRobert Love2005-07-121-0/+248
inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly its inability to scale and its terrible user interface: * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount. * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of stat structures. * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals? inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change notification: * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO. You get a single fd, which is select()-able. * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item you were watching is on was unmounted." * inotify can watch directories or files. Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure), Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects. See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.
