pass a struct path to vfs_statfs

2010-08-09T20:48:42Z

We'll need the path to implement the flags field for statvfs support. We do have it available in all callers except: - ecryptfs_statfs. This one doesn't actually need vfs_statfs but just needs to do a caller to the lower filesystem statfs method. - sys_ustat. Add a non-exported statfs_by_dentry helper for it which doesn't won't be able to fill out the flags field later on. In addition rename the helpers for statfs vs fstatfs to do_*statfs instead of the misleading vfs prefix. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

bsdacct: use del_timer_sync() in acct_exit_ns()

2010-05-12T00:33:42Z

acct_exit_ns --> acct_file_reopen deletes timer without check timer execution on other CPUs. So acct_timeout() can change an unmapped memory. Signed-off-by: Vitaliy Gusev Cc: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

copy_signal() cleanup: kill taskstats_tgid_init() and acct_init_pacct()

2010-03-12T23:52:39Z

Kill unused functions taskstats_tgid_init() and acct_init_pacct() because we don't use them anywhere after using kmem_cache_zalloc() in copy_signal(). Signed-off-by: Veaceslav Falico Cc: Roland McGrath Cc: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

bsdacct: fix uid/gid misreporting

2009-12-15T16:53:10Z

commit d8e180dcd5bbbab9cd3ff2e779efcf70692ef541 "bsdacct: switch credentials for writing to the accounting file" introduced credential switching during final acct data collecting. However, uid/gid pair continued to be collected from current which became credentials of who created acct file, not who exits.

bsdacct: switch credentials for writing to the accounting file

2009-08-24T01:33:40Z

When process accounting is enabled, every exiting process writes a log to the account file. In addition, every once in a while one of the exiting processes checks whether there's enough free space for the log. SELinux policy may or may not allow the exiting process to stat the fs. So unsuspecting processes start generating AVC denials just because someone enabled process accounting. For these filesystem operations, the exiting process's credentials should be temporarily switched to that of the process which enabled accounting, because it's really that process which wanted to have the accounting information logged.

bsdacct: fix access to invalid filp in acct_on()

2009-07-01T01:56:00Z

The file opened in acct_on and freshly stored in the ns->bacct struct can be closed in acct_file_reopen by a concurrent call after we release acct_lock and before we call mntput(file->f_path.mnt). Record file->f_path.mnt in a local variable and use this variable only.

CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the core kernel

2008-11-13T23:39:12Z

Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds. Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id(). Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.
