b8d4caddd8 NFSv4: Clean up nfs4_open_revalidate
Remove references to 'struct nameidata' from the low-level open_revalidate
code, and replace them with a struct nfs_open_context which will be
correctly initialised upon success.

cd9a1c0e5a NFSv4: Clean up nfs4_atomic_open
Start moving the 'struct nameidata' dependent code out of the lower level
NFS code in preparation for the removal of open intents.

Instead of the struct nameidata, we pass down a partially initialised
struct nfs_open_context that will be fully initialised by the atomic open
upon success.

f5a73672d1 NFS: allow close-to-open cache semantics to apply to root of NFS filesystem
To obey NFS cache semantics, the client must verify the cached
attributes when a file is opened.  In most cases this is done by a call to
d_validate as one of the last steps in path_walk.

However for the root of a filesystem, d_validate is only ever called
on the mounted-on filesystem (except when the path ends '.' or '..').
So NFS has no chance to validate the attributes.

So, in nfs_opendir, we revalidate the attributes if the opened
directory is the mountpoint.  This may cause double-validation for "."
and ".." lookups, but that is better than missing regular /path/name
lookups completely.

9cfcac810e vfs: re-introduce MAY_CHDIR
Currently MAY_ACCESS means that filesystems must check the permissions
right then and not rely on cached results or the results of future
operations on the object.  This can be because of a call to sys_access() or
because of a call to chdir() which needs to check search without relying on
any future operations inside that dir.  I plan to use MAY_ACCESS for other
purposes in the security system, so I split the MAY_ACCESS and the
MAY_CHDIR cases.

7f8275d0d6 mm: add context argument to shrinker callback
The current shrinker implementation requires the registered callback
to have global state to work from. This makes it difficult to shrink
caches that are not global (e.g. per-filesystem caches). Pass the shrinker
structure to the callback so that users can embed the shrinker structure
in the context the shrinker needs to operate on and get back to it in the
callback via container_of().

d9e80b7de9 nfs d_revalidate() is too trigger-happy with d_drop()
If dentry found stale happens to be a root of disconnected tree, we
can't d_drop() it; its d_hash is actually part of s_anon and d_drop()
would simply hide it from shrink_dcache_for_umount(), leading to
all sorts of fun, including busy inodes on umount and oopsen after
that.

Bug had been there since at least 2006 (commit c636eb already has it),
so it's definitely -stable fodder.

d953126a28 NFSv4: Fix a problem whereby a buggy server can oops the kernel
We just had a case in which a buggy server occasionally returns the wrong
attributes during an OPEN call. While the client does catch this sort of
condition in nfs4_open_done(), and causes the nfs4_atomic_open() to return
-EISDIR, the logic in nfs_atomic_lookup() is broken, since it causes a
fallback to an ordinary lookup instead of just returning the error.

When the buggy server then returns a regular file for the fallback lookup,
the VFS allows the open, and bad things start to happen, since the open
file doesn't have any associated NFSv4 state.

The fix is firstly to return the EISDIR/ENOTDIR errors immediately, and
secondly to ensure that we are always careful when dereferencing the
nfs_open_context state pointer.

7ee2cb7f32 nfs: Fix NFS v4 client handling of MAY_EXEC in nfs_permission.
The problem is that permission checking is skipped if atomic open is
possible, but when exec opens a file, it just opens it O_READONLY which
means EXEC permission will not be checked at that time.

This problem is observed by the following sequence (executed as root):

  chmod 744 /mnt4/foo

b1e4adf4ea NFS: Fix the notifications when renaming onto an existing file
NFS appears to be returning an unnecessary "delete" notification when
we're doing an atomic rename. See

  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575684

The fix is to get rid of the redundant call to d_delete().

a71ee337b3 NFS: Handle -ESTALE error in access()
Hi Trond,

I have been looking at a bugreport where trying to open applications on KDE
on a NFS mounted home fails temporarily. There have been multiple reports on
different kernel versions pointing to this common issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12557
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269954
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508866.html

This issue can be reproducible consistently by doing this on a NFS mounted
home (KDE):
1. Open 2 xterm sessions
2. From one of the xterm session, do "ssh -X <remote host>"
3. "stat ~/.Xauthority" on the remote SSH session
4. Close the two xterm sessions
5. On the server do a "stat ~/.Xauthority"
6. Now on the client, try to open xterm
This will fail.

Even if the filehandle had become stale, the NFS client should invalidate
the cache/inode and should repeat LOOKUP. Looking at the packet capture when
the failure occurs shows that there were two subsequent ACCESS() calls with
the same filehandle and both fails with -ESTALE error.

I have tested the fix below. Now the client issue a LOOKUP after the
ACCESS() call fails with -ESTALE. If all this makes sense to you, can you
consider this for inclusion?

Thanks,


If the server returns an -ESTALE error due to stale filehandle in response to
an ACCESS() call, we need to invalidate the cache and inode so that LOOKUP()
can be retried. Without this change, the nfs client retries ACCESS() with the
same filehandle, fails again and could lead to temporary failure of
applications running on nfs mounted home.

64672d55d9 optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0"
Hi.

I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes.  It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)

In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it.  It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo].  The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo).  With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.

This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case.  However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.

    Thanx...

        ps

f696a3659f [PATCH] move executable checking into ->permission()
For execute permission on a regular files we need to check if file has
any execute bits at all, regardless of capabilites.

This check is normally performed by generic_permission() but was also
added to the case when the filesystem defines its own ->permission()
method.  In the latter case the filesystem should be responsible for
performing this check.

Move the check from inode_permission() inside filesystems which are
not calling generic_permission().

Create a helper function execute_ok() that returns true if the inode
is a directory or if any execute bits are present in i_mode.

Also fix up the following code:

 - coda control file is never executable
 - sysctl files are never executable
 - hfs_permission seems broken on MAY_EXEC, remove
 - hfsplus_permission is eqivalent to generic_permission(), remove

4f98a2fee8 vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets
Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file
systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap
("anon").  The latter includes tmpfs.

The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots
of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to
find the page cache pages that it should evict.

This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much
we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists.  The big
policy changes are in separate patches.

011935a0a7 NFS: Fix a resolution problem with nfs_inode->cache_change_attribute
The cache_change_attribute is used to decide whether or not a directory has
changed, in which case we may need to look it up again. Again, the use of
'jiffies' leads to an issue of resolution.

Once again, the fix is to change nfs_inode->cache_change_attribute, and
just make it a simple counter.

4704f0e274 NFS: Fix the resolution problem with nfs_inode_attrs_need_update()
It appears that 'jiffies' timestamps do not have high enough resolution for
nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(). One problem is that a GETATTR can be
launched within < 1 jiffy of the last operation that updated the attribute.
Another problem is that RPC calls can take < 1 jiffy to execute.

We can fix this by switching the variables to use a simple global counter
that gets incremented every time we start another GETATTR call.

4eec952e42 NFS: Add options for finer control of the lookup cache
Add the flag NFS_MOUNT_LOOKUP_CACHE_NONEG to turn off the caching of
negative dentries. In reality what we do is to force
nfs_lookup_revalidate() to always discard negative dentries.

Add the flag NFS_MOUNT_LOOKUP_CACHE_NONE for enforcing stricter
revalidation of dentries. It forces the revalidate code to always do a
lookup instead of just checking the cached mtime of the parent directory.
