vfs: deny copy_file_range() for non regular files

2017-10-12T09:51:26Z

commit 11cbfb10775aa2a01cee966d118049ede9d0bdf2 upstream. There is no in-tree file system that implements copy_file_range() for non regular files. Deny an attempt to copy_file_range() a directory with EISDIR and any other non regualr file with EINVAL to conform with behavior of vfs_{clone,dedup}_file_range(). This change is needed prior to converting sb_start_write() to file_start_write() in the vfs helper.

vfs: Return -ENXIO for negative SEEK_HOLE / SEEK_DATA offsets

2017-10-05T07:44:01Z

commit fc46820b27a2d9a46f7e90c9ceb4a64a1bc5fab8 upstream. In generic_file_llseek_size, return -ENXIO for negative offsets as well as offsets beyond EOF. This affects filesystems which don't implement SEEK_HOLE / SEEK_DATA internally, possibly because they don't support holes. Fixes xfstest generic/448.

iov_iter: kernel-doc import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector()

2016-10-15T00:00:34Z

Both import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector() take an array (typically small and on-stack) which is used to hold an iovec array copy from userspace. This is to avoid an expensive memory allocation in the fast path (i.e. few iovec elements). The caller may have to check whether these functions actually used the provided buffer or allocated a new one -- but this differs between the too. Let's just add a kernel doc to clarify what the semantics are for each function. Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum Signed-off-by: Al Viro

x86/syscalls: Add compat_sys_preadv64v2/compat_sys_pwritev64v2

2016-07-15T08:30:26Z

Don't use the same syscall numbers for 2 different syscalls: 534 x32 preadv compat_sys_preadv64 535 x32 pwritev compat_sys_pwritev64 534 x32 preadv2 compat_sys_preadv2 535 x32 pwritev2 compat_sys_pwritev2 Add compat_sys_preadv64v2() and compat_sys_pwritev64v2() so that 64-bit offset is passed in one 64-bit register on x32, similar to compat_sys_preadv64() and compat_sys_pwritev64().

fs: add RWF_DSYNC aand RWF_SYNC

This is the per-I/O equivalent of O_DSYNC and O_SYNC, and very useful for all kinds of file servers and storage targets. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

rw_verify_area(): saner calling conventions

2016-04-03T23:51:39Z

Lift length capping into the few callers that care about it. Most of them treat all non-negatives as "success" and ignore the capped value, and with good reasons. Make rw_verify_area() return 0 on success. Signed-off-by: Al Viro
