* splice: only return -EAGAIN if there's hope of more dataJens Axboe2008-03-041-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | sys_tee() currently is a bit eager in returning -EAGAIN, it may do so even if we don't have a chance of anymore data becoming available. So improve the logic and only return -EAGAIN if we have an attached writer to the input pipe. Reported by Johann Felix Soden <johfel@gmx.de> and Patrick McManus <mcmanus@ducksong.com>.

* splice: fix user pointer access in get_iovec_page_array()Bastian Blank2008-02-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 8811930dc74a503415b35c4a79d14fb0b408a361 ("splice: missing user pointer access verification") added the proper access_ok() calls to copy_from_user_mmap_sem() which ensures we can copy the struct iovecs from userspace to the kernel. But we also must check whether we can access the actual memory region pointed to by the struct iovec to fix the access checks properly.

* splice: missing user pointer access verificationJens Axboe2008-02-081-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | vmsplice_to_user() must always check the user pointer and length with access_ok() before copying. Likewise, for the slow path of copy_from_user_mmap_sem() we need to check that we may read from the user region.

* splice: always updated atime in direct spliceJens Axboe2008-02-011-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Andre Majorel <aym-xunil@teaser.fr> points out that if we only updated the atime when we transfer some data, we deviate from the standard of always updating the atime. So change splice to always call file_accessed() even if splice_direct_to_actor() didn't transfer any data. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* splice: fix problem with atime not being updatedJens Axboe2008-01-291-8/+7
| | | | | | | | | A bug report on nfsd that states that since it was switched to use splice instead of sendfile, the atime was no longer being updated on the input file. do_generic_mapping_read() does this when accessing the file, make splice do it for the direct splice handler.

* Implement file posix capabilitiesSerge E. Hallyn2007-10-171-4/+9

This allows programs to be given a subset of root's powers regardless of who runs them, without having to use setuid and giving the binary all of root's powers. This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php. For more information on how to use this patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html. Changelog: Nov 27: Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton (security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix) Fix Kconfig dependency. Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in. Nov 13: Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t. Nov 13: Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey Dobriyan. Nov 09: Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper function. Nov 08: For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html. Nov 07: Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in check_cap_sanity(). Nov 07: Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since capabilities are the default. Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY. Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce audit messages. Nov 05: Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file cap support can be stacked. Sep 05: As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place for capability code. Sep 01: Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which they called a program with some fscaps. One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a cpuset? It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check. But since it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check, fixing it might be tough. task_setscheduler note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task. Are we ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset? task_setioprio task_setnice sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another process. Need same checks as setrlimit Aug 21: Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process might still have elevated caps. Aug 15: Handle endianness of xattrs. Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk. Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are set, else return -EPERM. With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than d_instantiate. Aug 10: Always call getxattr at bprm_set_security, rather than caching it at d_instantiate.

* readahead: pass real splice sizeFengguang Wu2007-07-191-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass real splice size to page_cache_readahead_ondemand(). The splice code works in chunks of 16 pages internally. The readahead code should be told of the overall splice size, instead of the internal chunk size. Otherwize bad things may happen. Imagine some 17-page random splice reads. The code before this patch will result in two readahead calls: readahead(16); readahead(1); That leads to one 16-page I/O and one 32-page I/O: one extra I/O and 31 readahead miss pages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move synchronous page_cache_readahead_ondemand() call out of splice loop. This avoids one pointless page allocation/insertion in case of non-zero ra_pages, or many pointless readahead calls in case of zero ra_pages. Note that if a user sets ra_pages to less than PIPE_BUFFERS=16 pages, he will not get expected readahead behavior anyway. The splice code works in batches of 16 pages, which can be taken as another form of synchronous readahead.

* splice: __generic_file_splice_read: fix read/truncate raceJens Axboe2007-06-081-23/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Original patch and description from Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>, merged and adapted to splice branch by me. Neils text follows: __generic_file_splice_read() currently samples the i_size at the start and doesn't do so again unless it needs to call ->readpage to load a page. After ->readpage it has to re-sample i_size as a truncate may have caused that page to be filled with zeros, and the read() call should not see these. However there are other activities that might cause ->readpage to be called on a page between the time that __generic_file_splice_read() samples i_size and when it finds that it has an uptodate page. These include at least read-ahead and possibly another thread performing a read So we must sample i_size *after* it has an uptodate page. Thus the current sampling at the start and after a read can be replaced with a sampling before page addition into spd. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eric Dumazet, thank you for disclosing this bug. Readahead logic somehow fails to populate the page range with data. It can be because 1) the readahead routine is not always called in the following lines of fs/splice.c: if (!loff || nr_pages > 1) page_cache_readahead(mapping, &in->f_ra, in, index, nr_pages); 2) even called, page_cache_readahead() wont guarantee the pages are there. It wont submit readahead I/O for pages already in the radix tree, or when (ra_pages == 0), or after 256 cache hits. In your case, it should be because of the retried reads, which lead to excessive cache hits, and disables readahead at some time. And that _one_ failure of readahead blocks the whole read process. The application receives EAGAIN and retries the read, but __generic_file_splice_read() refuse to make progress: - in the previous invocation, it has allocated a blank page and inserted it into the radix tree, but never has the chance to start I/O for it: the test of SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK goes before that. - in the retried invocation, the readahead code will neither get out of the cache hit mode, nor will it submit I/O for an already existing page.

* [PATCH] splice: partial write fixDmitriy Monakhov2007-03-291-9/+16

* Export __splice_from_pipe()Mark Fasheh2007-03-271-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | Ocfs2 wants to implement it's own splice write actor so that it can better manage cluster / page locks. This lets us re-use the rest of splice write while only providing our own code where it's actually important.

* 2/2 splice: dont readpageNick Piggin2007-03-271-30/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Splice does not need to readpage to bring the page uptodate before writing to it, because prepare_write will take care of that for us. Splice is also wrong to SetPageUptodate before the page is actually uptodate. This results in the old uninitialised memory leak. This gets fixed as a matter of course when removing the readpage logic. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* 1/2 splice: dont stealNick Piggin2007-03-271-63/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stealing pages with splice is problematic because we cannot just insert an uptodate page into the pagecache and hope the filesystem can take care of it later. We also cannot just ClearPageUptodate, then hope prepare_write does not write anything into the page, because I don't think prepare_write gives that guarantee. Remove support for SPLICE_F_MOVE for now. If we really want to bring it back, we might be able to do so with a the new filesystem buffered write aops APIs I'm working on. If we really don't want to bring it back, then we should decide that sooner rather than later, and remove the flag and all the stealing infrastructure before anybody starts using it.

* [PATCH] VFS: change struct file to use struct pathJosef "Jeff" Sipek2006-12-081-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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] Take i_mutex in splice_from_pipe()Mark Fasheh2006-10-191-13/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The splice_actor may be calling ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write(). We want i_mutex on the inode being written to before calling those so that we don't race i_size changes. The double locking behavior is done elsewhere in splice.c, and if we eventually want _nolock variants of generic_file_splice_write(), fs modules might have to replicate the nasty locking code. We introduce inode_double_lock() and inode_double_unlock() to consolidate the locking rules into one set of functions.
