* vfs: micro-optimize acl_permission_check()Linus Torvalds2011-05-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's a hot function, and we're better off not mixing types in the mask calculations. The compiler just ends up mixing 16-bit and 32-bit operations, for no good reason. So do everything in 'unsigned int' rather than mixing 'unsigned int' masking with a 'umode_t' (16-bit) mode variable. This, together with the parent commit (47a150edc2ae: "Cache user_ns in struct cred") makes acl_permission_check() much nicer. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* vfs: Fix absolute RCU path walk failures due to uninitialized seq numberTim Chen2011-04-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During RCU walk in path_lookupat and path_openat, the rcu lookup frequently failed if looking up an absolute path, because when root directory was looked up, seq number was not properly set in nameidata. We dropped out of RCU walk in nameidata_drop_rcu due to mismatch in directory entry's seq number. We reverted to slow path walk that need to take references. With the following patch, I saw a 50% increase in an exim mail server benchmark throughput on a 4-socket Nehalem-EX system.

* Turn resolution of trailing symlinks iterative everywhereAl Viro2011-03-151-54/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The last remaining place (resolution of nested symlink) converted to the loop of the same kind we have in path_lookupat() and path_openat(). Note that we still *do* have a recursion in pathname resolution; can't avoid it, really. However, it's strictly for nested symlinks now - i.e. ones in the middle of a pathname. link_path_walk() has lost the tail now - it always walks everything except the last component. do_follow_link() renamed to nested_symlink() and moved down.

* simplify link_path_walk() tailAl Viro2011-03-151-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Now that link_path_walk() is called without LOOKUP_PARENT only from do_follow_link(), we can simplify the checks in last component handling. First of all, checking if we'd arrived to a directory is not needed - the caller will check it anyway. And LOOKUP_FOLLOW is guaranteed to be there, since we only get to that place with nd->depth > 0.

| | | | | | | | | | new helper: walk_component(). Handles everything except symlinks; returns negative on error, 0 on success and 1 on symlinks we decided to follow. Drops out of RCU mode on such symlinks. link_path_walk() and do_last() switched to using that. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* Allow O_PATH for symlinksAl Viro2011-03-151-6/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At that point we can't do almost nothing with them. They can be opened with O_PATH, we can manipulate such descriptors with dup(), etc. and we can see them in /proc/*/{fd,fdinfo}/*. We can't (and won't be able to) follow /proc/*/fd/* symlinks for those; there's simply not enough information for pathname resolution to go on from such point - to resolve a symlink we need to know which directory does it live in. We will be able to do useful things with them after the next commit, though - readlinkat() and fchownat() will be possible to use with dfd being an O_PATH-opened symlink and empty relative pathname. Combined with open_by_handle() it'll give us a way to do realink-by-handle and lchown-by-handle without messing with more redundant syscalls. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* New kind of open files - "location only".Al Viro2011-03-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New flag for open(2) - O_PATH. Semantics: * pathname is resolved, but the file itself is _NOT_ opened as far as filesystem is concerned. * almost all operations on the resulting descriptors shall fail with -EBADF. Exceptions are: 1) operations on descriptors themselves (i.e. close(), dup(), dup2(), dup3(), fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD), fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, ...), fcntl(fd, F_GETFD), fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, ...)) 2) fcntl(fd, F_GETFL), for a common non-destructive way to check if descriptor is open 3) "dfd" arguments of ...at(2) syscalls, i.e. the starting points of pathname resolution * closing such descriptor does *NOT* affect dnotify or posix locks. * permissions are checked as usual along the way to file; no permission checks are applied to the file itself. Of course, giving such thing to syscall will result in permission checks (at the moment it means checking that starting point of ....at() is a directory and caller has exec permissions on it). fget() and fget_light() return NULL on such descriptors; use of fget_raw() and fget_raw_light() is needed to get them. That protects existing code from dealing with those things. There are two things still missing (they come in the next commits): one is handling of symlinks (right now we refuse to open them that way; see the next commit for semantics related to those) and another is descriptor passing via SCM_RIGHTS datagrams.

This is needed to ensure that with link by handle we don't allow to create hardlink of an unlinked file.

* New AT_... flag: AT_EMPTY_PATHAl Viro2011-03-151-10/+19
| | | | | | | | | | For name_to_handle_at(2) we'll want both ...at()-style syscall that would be usable for non-directory descriptors (with empty relative pathname). Introduce new flag (AT_EMPTY_PATH) to deal with that and corresponding LOOKUP_EMPTY; teach user_path_at() and path_init() to deal with the latter. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* open-style analog of vfs_path_lookup()Al Viro2011-03-141-28/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | new function: file_open_root(dentry, mnt, name, flags) opens the file vfs_path_lookup would arrive to. Note that name can be empty; in that case the usual requirement that dentry should be a directory is lifted. open-coded equivalents switched to it, may_open() got down exactly one caller and became static.

* reduce vfs_path_lookup() to do_path_lookup()Al Viro2011-03-141-52/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New lookup flag: LOOKUP_ROOT. nd->root is set (and held) by caller, path_init() starts walking from that place and all pathname resolution machinery never drops nd->root if that flag is set. That turns vfs_path_lookup() into a special case of do_path_lookup() *and* gets us down to 3 callers of link_path_walk(), making it finally feasible to rip the handling of trailing symlink out of link_path_walk(). That will not only simply the living hell out of it, but make life much simpler for unionfs merge. Trailing symlink handling will become iterative, which is a good thing for stack footprint in a lot of situations as well. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* untangle do_lookup()Al Viro2011-03-141-85/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | That thing has devolved into rats nest of gotos; sane use of unlikely() gets rid of that horror and gives much more readable structure: * make a fast attempt to find a dentry; false negatives are OK. In RCU mode if everything went fine, we are done, otherwise just drop out of RCU. If we'd done (RCU) ->d_revalidate() and it had not refused outright (i.e. didn't give us -ECHILD), remember its result. * now we are not in RCU mode and hopefully have a dentry. If we do not, lock parent, do full d_lookup() and if that has not found anything, allocate and call ->lookup(). If we'd done that ->lookup(), remember that dentry is good and we don't need to revalidate it. * now we have a dentry. If it has ->d_revalidate() and we can't skip it, call it. * hopefully dentry is good; if not, either fail (in case of error) or try to invalidate it. If d_invalidate() has succeeded, drop it and retry everything as if original attempt had not found a dentry. * now we can finish it up - deal with mountpoint crossing and automount.

* do_last: kill a rudiment of old ->d_revalidate() workaroundAl Viro2011-03-141-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | There used to be time when ->d_revalidate() couldn't return an error. So intents code had lookup_instantiate_filp() stash ERR_PTR(error) in nd->intent.open.filp and had it checked after lookup_hash(), to catch the otherwise silent failures. That had been introduced by commit 4af4c52f34606bdaab6930a845550c6fb02078a4. These days ->d_revalidate() can and does propagate errors back to callers explicitly, so this check isn't needed anymore.

* switch non-create side of open() to use of do_last()Al Viro2011-03-141-33/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of path_lookupat() doing trailing symlink resolution, use the same scheme as on the O_CREAT side. Walk with LOOKUP_PARENT, then (in do_last()) look the final component up, then either open it or return error or, if it's a symlink, give the symlink back to path_openat() to be resolved there. The really messy complication here is RCU. We don't want to drop out of RCU mode before the final lookup, since we don't want to bounce parent directory ->d_count without a good reason. Result is _not_ pretty; later in the series we'll clean it up. For now we are roughly back where we'd been before the revert done by Nick's series - top-level logics of path_openat() is cleaned up, do_last() does actual opening, symlink resolution is done uniformly.
