fs/namei.c: pull positivity check into follow_managed()

2019-11-15T18:49:04Z

There are 4 callers; two proceed to check if result is positive and fail with ENOENT if it isn't; one (in handle_lookup_down()) is guaranteed to yield positive and one (in lookup_fast()) is _preceded_ by positivity check. However, follow_managed() on a negative dentry is a (fairly cheap) no-op on anything other than autofs. And negative autofs dentries are never hashed, so lookup_fast() is not going to run into one of those. Moreover, successful follow_managed() on a _positive_ dentry never yields a negative one (and we significantly rely upon that in callers of lookup_fast()). In other words, we can easily transpose the positivity check and the call of follow_managed() in lookup_fast(). And that allows to fold the positivity check *into* follow_managed(), simplifying life for the code downstream of its calls. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

docs: fs: convert docs without extension to ReST

2019-07-31T19:31:05Z

There are 3 remaining files without an extension inside the fs docs dir. Manually convert them to ReST. In the case of the nfs/exporting.rst file, as the nfs docs aren't ported yet, I opted to convert and add a :orphan: there, with should be removed when it gets added into a nfs-specific part of the fs documentation.

fscrypt: clean up and improve dentry revalidation

2019-04-17T13:48:46Z

Make various improvements to fscrypt dentry revalidation: - Don't try to handle the case where the per-directory key is removed, as this can't happen without the inode (and dentries) being evicted. - Flag ciphertext dentries rather than plaintext dentries, since it's ciphertext dentries that need the special handling. - Avoid doing unnecessary work for non-ciphertext dentries. - When revalidating ciphertext dentries, try to set up the directory's i_crypt_info to make sure the key is really still absent, rather than invalidating all negative dentries as the previous code did. An old comment suggested we can't do this for locking reasons, but AFAICT this comment was outdated and it actually works fine. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

dcache: sort the freeing-without-RCU-delay mess for good.

2019-04-09T23:18:04Z

For lockless accesses to dentries we don't have pinned we rely (among other things) upon having an RCU delay between dropping the last reference and actually freeing the memory. On the other hand, for things like pipes and sockets we neither do that kind of lockless access, nor want to deal with the overhead of an RCU delay every time a socket gets closed. So delay was made optional - setting DCACHE_RCUACCESS in ->d_flags made sure it would happen. We tried to avoid setting it unless we knew we need it. Unfortunately, that had led to recurring class of bugs, in which we missed the need to set it. We only really need it for dentries that are created by d_alloc_pseudo(), so let's not bother with trying to be smart - just make having an RCU delay the default. The ones that do *not* get it set the replacement flag (DCACHE_NORCU) and we'd better use that sparingly. d_alloc_pseudo() is the only such user right now. FWIW, the race that finally prompted that switch had been between __lock_parent() of immediate subdirectory of what's currently the root of a disconnected tree (e.g. from open-by-handle in progress) racing with d_splice_alias() elsewhere picking another alias for the same inode, either on outright corrupted fs image, or (in case of open-by-handle on NFS) that subdirectory having been just moved on server. It's not easy to hit, so the sky is not falling, but that's not the first race on similar missed cases and the logics for settinf DCACHE_RCUACCESS has gotten ridiculously convoluted.
