| * relay: move remove_buf_file inside relay_close_bufDmitry Monakhov2013-04-301-1/+1

This result in follow issue: # blktrace -d /dev/sda1 -d /dev/sda -o test blktrace_setup() dir = create_dir() rchan = relay_open(dir,...) ->create_buf_file_callback buf_file = debugfs_create_file(dir, ) Userspace will open buf_file. Later we make a decision to stop tracing blktrace_down() relay_close(rhcan) /* just decrement kobj reference */ /* since it is not zero then callback not called */ debugfs_remove(dir) /* FAIL due to non empty dir */ Later user space will close the file and file will be deleted, but directory still exist. user_space_close() ->file_release ->release_buf_file_callback ->debugfs_remove(buf_file ## TESTCASE: # blktrace -d /dev/sda1 -d /dev/sda -o test # After that blktrace infrastructure will remain broken in # an unusable state so: blktrace -d /dev/sda1 will not work. In fact this is general issue, blktrace is just one of examples. We can not reliably remove parent dir until all users close the buf_file. Solution: We don't have to wait that long. File should be deleted inside relay_close_buf(). Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

* splice: fix racy pipe->buffers usesEric Dumazet2012-06-131-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe() commit 35f3d14dbbc5 (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes) added capability to adjust pipe->buffers. Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers doesn't change for their duration. Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate. splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

(regular mod_timer() re-activates non-pending timers.) This is useful for the networking code in that it can allow unserialized mod_timer_pending() timer-forwarding calls, but a single del_timer*() will stop the timer from being reactivated again. Also while at it: - optimize the regular mod_timer() path some more, the timer-stat and a debug check was needlessly duplicated in __mod_timer(). - make the exports come straight after the function, as most other exports in timer.c already did. - eliminate __mod_timer() as an external API, change the users to mod_timer(). The regular mod_timer() code path is not impacted significantly, due to inlining optimizations and due to the simplifications.

* Fix a use after free bug in kernel->userspace relay file supportJesper Juhl2007-07-311-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coverity spotted what looks like a real possible case of using a variable after it has been freed. The problem is in kernel/relay.c::relay_open_buf() If the code hits "goto free_buf;" it ends up in this code : free_buf: relay_destroy_buf(buf); <--- calls kfree() on 'buf'. free_name: kfree(tmpname); end: return buf; <-- use after free of 'buf'. I read through the callers and they all handle a NULL return from this function as an error (and hitting the 'free_buf' label only happens on failure to chan->cb->create_buf_file(), so that looks like a clear error to me). The patch simply sets 'buf' to NULL after the call to relay_destroy_buf(buf); - as far as I can see that should take care of the problem. The patch also corrects a reference to a documentation file while I was at it. Note from Mathieu: the documentation reference change should have been done in a separate patch, but I guess no one will really care.

* relay: fix bogus cast in subbuf_splice_actor()Tom Zanussi2007-07-131-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | The current code that sets the read position in subbuf_splice_actor may give erroneous results if the buffer size isn't a power of 2. This patch fixes the problem. Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* pipe: change the ->pin() operation to ->confirm()Jens Axboe2007-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The name 'pin' was badly chosen, it doesn't pin a pipe buffer in the most commonly used sense in the kernel. So change the name to 'confirm', after debating this issue with Hugh Dickins a bit. A good return from ->confirm() means that the buffer is really there, and that the contents are good.

* relay: use splice_to_pipe() instead of open-coding the pipe loopJens Axboe2007-07-101-91/+55
| | | | | | | | | | It cleans up the relay splice implementation a lot, and gets rid of a lot of internal pipe knowledge that should not be in there. Plus fixes for padding and partial first page (and lots more) from Tom Zanussi. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* splice: divorce the splice structure/function definitions from the pipe headerJens Axboe2007-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use the splice_to_pipe() implementation instead of open-coding a lot of pipe knowledge (see relay implementation), so move to our own header file finally. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
