ext4: compare old and new mode before setting update_mode flag

2018-12-10T05:22:38Z

If new mode is the same as old mode we don't have to reset inode mode in the rest of the code, so compare old and new mode before setting update_mode flag. Signed-off-by: Chengguang Xu Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

ext4: cache NULL when both default_acl and acl are NULL

2018-10-07T02:40:34Z

default_acl and acl of newly created inode will be initiated as ACL_NOT_CACHED in vfs function inode_init_always() and later will be updated by calling xxx_init_acl() in specific filesystems. However, when default_acl and acl are NULL then they keep the value of ACL_NOT_CACHED. This patch changes the code to cache NULL for acl / default_acl in this case to save unnecessary ACL lookup attempt. Signed-off-by: Chengguang Xu Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Reviewed-by: Jan Kara

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ext4: Don't clear SGID when inheriting ACLs

2017-07-31T03:33:01Z

When new directory 'DIR1' is created in a directory 'DIR0' with SGID bit set, DIR1 is expected to have SGID bit set (and owning group equal to the owning group of 'DIR0'). However when 'DIR0' also has some default ACLs that 'DIR1' inherits, setting these ACLs will result in SGID bit on 'DIR1' to get cleared if user is not member of the owning group. Fix the problem by moving posix_acl_update_mode() out of __ext4_set_acl() into ext4_set_acl(). That way the function will not be called when inheriting ACLs which is what we want as it prevents SGID bit clearing and the mode has been properly set by posix_acl_create() anyway.

ext4: preserve i_mode if __ext4_set_acl() fails

2017-07-31T02:43:41Z

When changing a file's acl mask, __ext4_set_acl() will first set the group bits of i_mode to the value of the mask, and only then set the actual extended attribute representing the new acl. If the second part fails (due to lack of space, for example) and the file had no acl attribute to begin with, the system will from now on assume that the mask permission bits are actual group permission bits, potentially granting access to the wrong users. Prevent this by only changing the inode mode after the acl has been set. Signed-off-by: Ernesto A. Fernández Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Reviewed-by: Jan Kara

ext4: fix __ext4_new_inode() journal credits calculation

2017-07-06T04:01:59Z

ea_inode feature allows creating extended attributes that are up to 64k in size. Update __ext4_new_inode() to pick increased credit limits. To avoid overallocating too many journal credits, update __ext4_xattr_set_credits() to make a distinction between xattr create vs update. This helps __ext4_new_inode() because all attributes are known to be new, so we can save credits that are normally needed to delete old values. Also, have fscrypt specify its maximum context size so that we don't end up allocating credits for 64k size. Signed-off-by: Tahsin Erdogan Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

ext4: xattr inode deduplication

2017-06-22T15:44:55Z

Ext4 now supports xattr values that are up to 64k in size (vfs limit). Large xattr values are stored in external inodes each one holding a single value. Once written the data blocks of these inodes are immutable. The real world use cases are expected to have a lot of value duplication such as inherited acls etc. To reduce data duplication on disk, this patch implements a deduplicator that allows sharing of xattr inodes. The deduplication is based on an in-memory hash lookup that is a best effort sharing scheme. When a xattr inode is read from disk (i.e. getxattr() call), its crc32c hash is added to a hash table. Before creating a new xattr inode for a value being set, the hash table is checked to see if an existing inode holds an identical value. If such an inode is found, the ref count on that inode is incremented. On value removal the ref count is decremented and if it reaches zero the inode is deleted. The quota charging for such inodes is manually managed. Every reference holder is charged the full size as if there was no sharing happening. This is consistent with how xattr blocks are also charged. [ Fixed up journal credits calculation to handle inline data and the rare case where an shared xattr block can get freed when two thread race on breaking the xattr block sharing. --tytso ] Signed-off-by: Tahsin Erdogan Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

ext4: improve journal credit handling in set xattr paths

2017-06-22T02:28:40Z

Both ext4_set_acl() and ext4_set_context() need to be made aware of ea_inode feature when it comes to credits calculation. Also add a sufficient credits check in ext4_xattr_set_handle() right after xattr write lock is grabbed. Original credits calculation is done outside the lock so there is a possiblity that the initially calculated credits are not sufficient anymore.

ext4: fix quota charging for shared xattr blocks

2017-05-24T22:24:07Z

ext4_xattr_block_set() calls dquot_alloc_block() to charge for an xattr block when new references are made. However if dquot_initialize() hasn't been called on an inode, request for charging is effectively ignored because ext4_inode_info->i_dquot is not initialized yet. Add dquot_initialize() to call paths that lead to ext4_xattr_block_set(). Signed-off-by: Tahsin Erdogan Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Reviewed-by: Jan Kara

ext4: use current_time() for inode timestamps

2016-11-15T02:40:10Z

CURRENT_TIME_SEC and CURRENT_TIME are not y2038 safe. current_time() will be transitioned to be y2038 safe along with vfs. current_time() returns timestamps according to the granularities set in the super_block. The granularity check in ext4_current_time() to call current_time() or CURRENT_TIME_SEC is not required. Use current_time() directly to obtain timestamps unconditionally, and remove ext4_current_time(). Quota files are assumed to be on the same filesystem. Hence, use current_time() for these files as well. Signed-off-by: Deepa Dinamani Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann
