Revert "fs: fold open_check_o_direct into do_dentry_open"

2018-06-03T17:58:23Z

This reverts commit cab64df194667dc5d9d786f0a895f647f5501c0d. Having vfs_open() in some cases drop the reference to struct file combined with error = vfs_open(path, f, cred); if (error) { put_filp(f); return ERR_PTR(error); } return f; is flat-out wrong. It used to be error = vfs_open(path, f, cred); if (!error) { /* from now on we need fput() to dispose of f */ error = open_check_o_direct(f); if (error) { fput(f); f = ERR_PTR(error); } } else { put_filp(f); f = ERR_PTR(error); } and sure, having that open_check_o_direct() boilerplate gotten rid of is nice, but not that way... Worse, another call chain (via finish_open()) is FUBAR now wrt FILE_OPENED handling - in that case we get error returned, with file already hit by fput() *AND* FILE_OPENED not set. Guess what happens in path_openat(), when it hits if (!(opened & FILE_OPENED)) { BUG_ON(!error); put_filp(file); } The root cause of all that crap is that the callers of do_dentry_open() have no way to tell which way did it fail; while that could be fixed up (by passing something like int *opened to do_dentry_open() and have it marked if we'd called ->open()), it's probably much too late in the cycle to do so right now.

fs: add ksys_fallocate() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_fallocate()

2018-04-02T18:16:09Z

Using the ksys_fallocate() wrapper allows us to get rid of in-kernel calls to the sys_fallocate() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_fallocate(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180325162527.GA17492@light.dominikbrodowski.net Cc: Al Viro Cc: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

fs: add ksys_truncate() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_truncate()

fs: add ksys_open() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_open()

2018-04-02T18:16:01Z

Using this wrapper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_open() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_open(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

fs: add ksys_close() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_close()

2018-04-02T18:16:00Z

Using the ksys_close() wrapper allows us to get rid of in-kernel calls to the sys_close() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_close(), with one subtle difference: The few places which checked the return value did not care about the return value re-writing in sys_close(), so simply use a wrapper around __close_fd(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

fs: add do_fchownat(), ksys_fchown() helpers and ksys_{,l}chown() wrappers

2018-04-02T18:15:59Z

Using the fs-interal do_fchownat() wrapper allows us to get rid of fs-internal calls to the sys_fchownat() syscall. Introducing the ksys_fchown() helper and the ksys_{,}chown() wrappers allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_{,l,f}chown() syscalls. The ksys_ prefix denotes that these functions are meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscalls. In particular, they use the same calling convention as sys_{,l,f}chown(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

fs: add ksys_fchmod() and do_fchmodat() helpers and ksys_chmod() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to syscall

2018-04-02T18:15:57Z

Using the fs-internal do_fchmodat() helper allows us to get rid of fs-internal calls to the sys_fchmodat() syscall. Introducing the ksys_fchmod() helper and the ksys_chmod() wrapper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_fchmod() and sys_chmod() syscalls. The ksys_ prefix denotes that these functions are meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscalls. In particular, they use the same calling convention as sys_fchmod() and sys_chmod().
