sysfs: sysfs_pathname/sysfs_add_one: Use strlcat() instead of strcat()

2012-10-24T22:57:14Z

The warning check for duplicate sysfs entries can cause a buffer overflow when printing the warning, as strcat() doesn't check buffer sizes. Use strlcat() instead. Since strlcat() doesn't return a pointer to the passed buffer, unlike strcat(), I had to convert the nested concatenation in sysfs_add_one() to an admittedly more obscure comma operator construct, to avoid emitting code for the concatenation if CONFIG_BUG is disabled.

Pull second vfs pile from Al Viro: "The stuff in there: fsfreeze deadlock fixes by Jan (essentially, the deadlock reproduced by xfstests 068), symlink and hardlink restriction patches, plus assorted cleanups and fixes. Note that another fsfreeze deadlock (emergency thaw one) is *not* dealt with - the series by Fernando conflicts a lot with Jan's, breaks userland ABI (FIFREEZE semantics gets changed) and trades the deadlock for massive vfsmount leak; this is going to be handled next cycle. There probably will be another pull request, but that stuff won't be in it."

sysfs: fail dentry revalidation after namespace change

2012-07-17T16:43:55Z

When we change the namespace tag of a sysfs entry, the associated dentry is still kept around. readdir() will work correctly and not display the old entries, but open() will still succeed, so will reads and writes. This will no longer happen if sysfs is remounted, hinting that this is a cache-related problem. I am using the following sequence to demonstrate that: shell1: ip link add type veth unshare -nm shell2: ip link set veth1 cat /sys/devices/virtual/net/veth1/ifindex Before that patch, this will succeed (fail to fail). After it, it will correctly return an error. Differently from a normal rename, which we handle fine, changing the object namespace will keep it's path intact. So this check seems necessary as well.

sysfs: switch to ->s_d_op and ->d_release()

2012-07-14T12:35:06Z

a) ->d_iput() is wrong here - what we do to inode is completely usual, it's dentry->d_fsdata that we want to drop. Just use ->d_release(). b) switch to ->s_d_op - no need to play with d_set_d_op() Signed-off-by: Al Viro
