* | CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the JFS filesystemDavid Howells2008-11-141-2/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds. Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id(). Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.

* vfs: Use const for kernel parser tableSteven Whitehouse2008-10-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble. This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm since then.

Replace jfs_read_inode() with jfs_iget(), and call that instead of iget(). jfs_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code instead of an inode in the event of an error. jfs_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode instead of EINVAL.

* JFS is missing a memory barrierNick Piggin2008-01-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | JFS is missing a memory barrier needed to close the critical section before clearing the lock bit. Use lock bitops for this. unlock_page() has a second barrier after clearing the lock, which is required because it checks whether the waitqueue is active without locks. Such a barrier is not required here because the waitqueue spinlock is always taken (something to think about if performance is an issue).

* JFS: clear PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY for no-write pagesDave Kleikamp2008-01-031-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When JFS decides to drop a dirty metapage, it simply clears the META_dirty bit and leave alone the PG_dirty and PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY bits. When such no-write page goes to metapage_writepage(), the `relic' PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag should be cleared, to prevent pdflush from repeatedly trying to sync them. This is done through set_page_writeback(), so call it should be called in all cases. If no I/O is initiated, end_page_writeback() should be called immediately. This is how __block_write_full_page() does things. Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> CC: Fengguang Wu <wfg@mail.ustc.edu.cn>
* Forbid user to change file flags on quota filesJan Kara2007-11-141-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Forbid user from changing file flags on quota files. User has no bussiness in playing with these flags when quota is on. Furthermore there is a remote possibility of deadlock due to a lock inversion between quota file's i_mutex and transaction's start (i_mutex for quota file is locked only when trasaction is started in quota operations) in ext3 and ext4.

* Introduce is_owner_or_cap() to wrap CAP_FOWNER use with fsuid checkSatyam Sharma2007-07-172-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as well, thus violating its semantics. [ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ... untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ] The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.
