fat: Fix ATTR_RO for directory

2008-11-06T23:41:21Z

FAT has the ATTR_RO (read-only) attribute. But on Windows, the ATTR_RO of the directory will be just ignored actually, and is used by only applications as flag. E.g. it's setted for the customized folder by Explorer. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969337.aspx This adds "rodir" option. If user specified it, ATTR_RO is used as read-only flag even if it's the directory. Otherwise, inode->i_mode is not used to hold ATTR_RO (i.e. fat_mode_can_save_ro() returns 0).

fat: Fix ATTR_RO in the case of (~umask & S_WUGO) == 0

2008-11-06T23:41:21Z

If inode->i_mode doesn't have S_WUGO, current code assumes it means ATTR_RO. However, if (~[ufd]mask & S_WUGO) == 0, inode->i_mode can't hold S_WUGO. Therefore the updated directory entry will always have ATTR_RO. This adds fat_mode_can_hold_ro() to check it. And if inode->i_mode can't hold, uses -i_attrs to hold ATTR_RO instead. With this, we don't set ATTR_RO unless users change it via ioctl() if (~[ufd]mask & S_WUGO) == 0. And on FAT_IOCTL_GET_ATTRIBUTES path, this adds ->i_mutex to it for not returning the partially updated attributes by FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES to userland.

fat: Cleanup FAT attribute stuff

2008-11-06T23:41:21Z

This adds three helpers: fat_make_attrs() - makes FAT attributes from inode. fat_make_mode() - makes mode_t from FAT attributes. fat_save_attrs() - saves FAT attributes to inode. Then this replaces: MSDOS_MKMODE() by fat_make_mode(), fat_attr() by fat_make_attrs(), ->i_attrs = attr & ATTR_UNUSED by fat_save_attrs(). And for root inode, those is used with ATTR_DIR instead of bogus ATTR_NONE. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[patch 3/4] fat: dont call notify_change

2008-07-27T00:53:27Z

The FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES ioctl() calls notify_change() to change the file mode before changing the inode attributes. Replace with explicit calls to security_inode_setattr(), fat_setattr() and fsnotify_change(). This is equivalent to the original. The reason it is needed, is that later in the series we move the immutable check into notify_change(). That would break the FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, as it needs to perform the mode change regardless of the immutability of the file. [Fix error if fat is built as a module. Thanks to OGAWA Hirofumi for noticing.] Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Acked-by: OGAWA Hirofumi Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Merge commit 'v2.6.26' into bkl-removal

Make FAT users happier by not deadlocking

2008-07-02T21:06:27Z

The FAT BKL removal patch can cause deadlocks. It turns out that the new lock_super() calls are unneeded, remove them (as directed by Linus). Reported-by: "Tony Luck" Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

Replace BKL with superblock lock in fat/msdos/vfat

2008-06-20T20:05:54Z

This replaces the use of the BKL in the FAT family of filesystems with the existing superblock lock instead. The code already appears to do mostly proper locking with its own private spinlocks (and mutexes), but while the BKL could possibly have been dropped entirely, converting it to use the superblock lock (which is just a regular mutex) is the conservative thing to do. As a per-filesystem mutex, it not only won't have any of the possible latency issues related to the BKL, but the lock is obviously private to the particular filesystem instance and will thus not cause problems for entirely unrelated users like the BKL can.

fat: relax the permission check of fat_setattr()

2008-06-13T01:05:39Z

New chmod() allows only acceptable permission, and if not acceptable, it returns -EPERM. Old one allows even if it can't store permission to on disk inode. But it seems too strict for users. E.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449080: With new one, rsync couldn't create the temporary file. So, this patch allows like old one, but now it doesn't change the permission if it can't store, and it returns 0. Also, this patch fixes missing check.
