Linus Torvalds 2e321806b6 Revert "vfs: remove unnecessary d_unhashed() check from __d_lookup_rcu"
This reverts commit 8c01a529b8.

It turns out the d_unhashed() check isn't unnecessary after all: while
it's true that unhashing will increment the sequence numbers, that does
not necessarily invalidate the RCU lookup, because it might have seen
the dentry pointer (before it got unhashed), but by the time it loaded
the sequence number, it could have seen the *new* sequence number (after
it got unhashed).

End result: we might look up an unhashed dentry that is about to be
freed, with the sequence number never indicating anything bad about it.
So checking that the dentry is still hashed (*after* reading the sequence
number) is indeed the proper fix, and was never unnecessary.

Linus Torvalds 6326c71fd2 vfs: be even more careful about dentry RCU name lookups
Miklos Szeredi points out that we need to also worry about memory
odering when doing the dentry name comparison asynchronously with RCU.

In particular, doing a rename can do a memcpy() of one dentry name over
another, and we want to make sure that any unlocked reader will always
see the proper terminating NUL character, so that it won't ever run off
the allocation.

Rather than having to be extra careful with the name copy or at lookup
time for each character, this resolves the issue by making sure that all
names that are inlined in the dentry always have a NUL character at the
end of the name allocation.  If we do that at dentry allocation time, we
know that no future name copy will ever change that final NUL to
anything else, so there are no memory ordering issues.

So even if a concurrent rename ends up overwriting the NUL character
that terminates the original name, we always know that there is one
final NUL at the end, and there is no worry about the lockless RCU
lookup traversing the name too far.

The out-of-line allocations are never copied over, so we can just make
sure that we write the name (with terminating NULL) and do a write
barrier before we expose the name to anything else by setting it in the
dentry.

Linus Torvalds a70b52ec1a vfs: make AIO use the proper rw_verify_area() area helpers
We had for some reason overlooked the AIO interface, and it didn't use
the proper rw_verify_area() helper function that checks (for example)
mandatory locking on the file, and that the size of the access doesn't
cause us to overflow the provided offset limits etc.

Instead, AIO did just the security_file_permission() thing (that
rw_verify_area() also does) directly.

This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only
means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can
actually remove lines of code.

Linus Torvalds cb62ab71fe Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
Pull networking changes from David Miller:

 1) Get rid of the error prone NLA_PUT*() macros that used an embedded
    goto.

 2) Kill off the token-ring and MCA networking drivers, from Paul
    Gortmaker.

 3) Reduce high-order allocations made by datagram AF_UNIX sockets, from
    Eric Dumazet.

 4) Add PTP hardware clock support to IGB and IXGBE, from Richard
    Cochran and Jacob Keller.

 5) Allow users to query timestamping capabilities of a card via
    ethtool, from Richard Cochran.

 6) Add loadbalance mode to the teaming driver, from Jiri Pirko.  Part
    of this is that we can now have BPF filters not attached to sockets,
    and the loadbalancing function is calculated using one.

 7) Francois Romieu went through the network drivers removing gratuitous
    uses of netdev->base_addr, perhaps some day we can remove it
    completely but it's used for ISA probing still.

 8) Add a BPF JIT for sparc.  I know, who cares, right? :-)

 9) Move networking sysctl registry away from using the compatability
    mode interfaces in the sysctl code.  From Eric W Biederman.

10) Pavel Emelyanov added a way to save and restore TCP socket state via
    TCP_REPAIR, TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE, and TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socket options as
    well as a way to forcefully bind a socket to a port via the
    sk->sk_reuse value SK_FORCE_REUSE.  There is also a
    TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS which allows to reinstante the TCP options
    enabled on the connection.

11) Several enhancements from Eric Dumazet that, in particular, can
    enhance splice performance on TCP sockets significantly.

     a) Reset the offset of the per-socket sendmsg page when we know
        we're the only use of the page in linear_to_page().

     b) Add facilities such that skb->data can be backed a page rather
        than SLAB kmalloc'd memory.  In particular devices which were
        receiving into linear RX buffers can now end up providing paged
        data.

    The big result is that code like splice and GRO do not have to copy
    any more.

12) Allow a pure sender to more gracefully handle ACK backlogs in TCP.
    What can happen at high rates is that the sender hasn't grown his
    receive buffer limits at all (he's not receiving data so really
    doesn't need to), but the non-data ACKs consume receive buffer
    space.

    sk_add_backlog() is too aggressive in dropping frames in this case,
    so relax it's requirements by using the receive buffer plus the send
    buffer limit as the backlog limit instead of just the former.

    Also from Eric Dumazet.

13) Add ipv6 support to L2TP, from Benjamin LaHaise, James Chapman, and
    Chris Elston.

14) Implement TCP early retransmit (RFC 5827), from Yuchung Cheng.
    Basically, we can start fast retransmit before hiting the dupack
    threshold under certain conditions.

15) New CODEL active queue management packet scheduler, from Eric
    Dumazet based upon initial work by Dave Taht.

    Basically, the big feature is that packets are dropped (or ECN bits
    are set) based upon how long packets live in the queue, rather than
    the queue length (which is what RED uses).

This teaches vfs_fstat() to use the appropriate f[get|put]_light
functions, allowing it to avoid some unnecessary locking for the common
case.

More noticeably, it also cleans up and simplifies the "getname_flags()"
function, which now relies on the architecture strncpy_from_user() doing
all the user access checks properly, instead of hacking around the fact
that on x86 it didn't use to do it right (see commit 92ae03f2ef: "x86:
merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up").

This makes cp_new_stat() a bit more readable, and avoids having to
memset() the whole structure just to fill in a couple of padding fields.

This is another result of me looking at code generation of functions
that show up high on certain kernel profiles, and just going "Oh, let's
just clean that up".

Architectures that don't supply the #define to fill just the padding
fields will still fall back to memset().

Linus Torvalds 30a08bf2d3 proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into tid_fd_revalidate()
Instead of doing the i_mode calculations at proc_fd_instantiate() time,
move them into tid_fd_revalidate(), which is where the other inode state
(notably uid/gid information) is updated too.

Otherwise we'll end up with stale i_mode information if an fd is re-used
while the dentry still hangs around.  Not that anything really *cares*
(symlink permissions don't really matter), but Tetsuo Handa noticed that
the owner read/write bits don't always match the state of the
readability of the file descriptor, and we _used_ to get this right a
long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Besides, aside from fixing an ugly detail (that has apparently been this
way since commit 61a2878402: "proc: Remove the hard coded inode
numbers" in 2006), this removes more lines of code than it adds.  And it
just makes sense to update i_mode in the same place we update i_uid/gid.

Al Viro correctly points out that we could just do the inode fill in the
inode iops ->getattr() function instead.  However, that does require
somewhat slightly more invasive changes, and adds yet *another* lookup
of the file descriptor.  We need to do the revalidate() for other
reasons anyway, and have the file descriptor handy, so we might as well
fill in the information at this point.

Mark Salter fce2447627 C6X: add support to build with BINFMT_ELF_FDPIC
C6x userspace supports a shared library mechanism called DSBT for systems with
no MMU. DSBT is similar to FDPIC in allowing shared text segments and private
copies of data segments without an MMU. Both methods access data using a base
register and offset. With FDPIC, the caller of an external function sets up the
base register for the callee. With DSBT, the called function sets up its own
base register. Other details differ but both userspaces need the same thing
from the kernel loader: a map of where each ELF segment was loaded. The FDPIC
loader already provides this, so DSBT just uses it.

This patch enables BINFMT_ELF_FDPIC by default for C6X and provides the
necessary architecture hooks for the generic loader.

Squashfs manages to read in the end block(s) of the disk during the
mount operation.  Then, when dd reads the block device, it leads to
block_read_full_page being called with buffers that are beyond end of
disk, but are marked as mapped.  Thus, it would end up submitting read
I/O against them, resulting in the errors mentioned above.  I fixed the
problem by modifying init_page_buffers to only set the buffer mapped if
it fell inside of i_size.

Cheers,
Jeff

Linus Torvalds 26fe575028 vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entry
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).

Linus Torvalds ee983e8967 vfs: move dentry name length comparison from dentry_cmp() into callers
All callers do want to check the dentry length, but some of them can
check the length and the hash together, so doing it in dentry_cmp() can
be counter-productive.

Linus Torvalds 94753db5ed vfs: do the careful dentry name access for all dentry_cmp cases
Commit 12f8ad4b05 ("vfs: clean up __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp()
interfaces") did the careful ACCESS_ONCE() of the dentry name only for
the word-at-a-time case, even though the issue is generic.

Admittedly I don't really see gcc ever reloading the value in the middle
of the loop, so the ACCESS_ONCE() protects us from a fairly theoretical
issue. But better safe than sorry.

Also, this consolidates the common parts of the word-at-a-time and
bytewise logic, which includes checking the length.  We'll be changing
that later.

Linus Torvalds 8c01a529b8 vfs: remove unnecessary d_unhashed() check from __d_lookup_rcu
The check for d_unhashed() is not strictly incorrect, but at the same
time it is also not sensible.  The actual dentry removal from the dentry
hash chains is totally asynchronous to the __d_lookup_rcu() logic, and
we depend on __d_drop() updating the sequence number to invalidate any
lookup of an unhashed dentry.

So checking d_unhashed() is not incorrect, but it's not useful either:
the code has to work correctly even without it. So just remove it.
