cope with potentially long ->d_dname() output for shmem/hugetlb

2013-08-24T16:10:17Z

dynamic_dname() is both too much and too little for those - the output may be well in excess of 64 bytes dynamic_dname() assumes to be enough (thanks to ashmem feeding really long names to shmem_file_setup()) and vsnprintf() is an overkill for those guys. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

tmpfs: fix SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE regression

2013-08-04T18:40:17Z

Commit 46a1c2c7ae53 ("vfs: export lseek_execute() to modules") broke the tmpfs SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE implementation, because vfs_setpos() converts the carefully prepared -ENXIO to -EINVAL. Other filesystems avoid it in error cases: do the same in tmpfs. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins Cc: Jie Liu Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vfs: export lseek_execute() to modules

2013-07-03T12:23:27Z

For those file systems(btrfs/ext4/ocfs2/tmpfs) that support SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE functions, we end up handling the similar matter in lseek_execute() to update the current file offset to the desired offset if it is valid, ceph also does the simliar things at ceph_llseek(). To reduce the duplications, this patch make lseek_execute() public accessible so that we can call it directly from the underlying file systems. Thanks Dave Chinner for this suggestion. [AV: call it vfs_setpos(), don't bring the removed 'inode' argument back] v2->v1: - Add kernel-doc comments for lseek_execute() - Call lseek_execute() in ceph->llseek() Signed-off-by: Jie Liu Cc: Dave Chinner Cc: Al Viro Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Chris Mason Cc: Josef Bacik Cc: Ben Myers Cc: Ted Tso Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: Mark Fasheh Cc: Joel Becker Cc: Sage Weil Signed-off-by: Al Viro

[O_TMPFILE] it's still short a few helpers, but infrastructure should be OK now...

evm: calculate HMAC after initializing posix acl on tmpfs

2013-06-20T11:47:49Z

Included in the EVM hmac calculation is the i_mode. Any changes to the i_mode need to be reflected in the hmac. shmem_mknod() currently calls generic_acl_init(), which modifies the i_mode, after calling security_inode_init_security(). This patch reverses the order in which they are called. Reported-by: Sven Vermeulen Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar Acked-by: Hugh Dickins

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro: "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent locking violations, etc. The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with "has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file to inode. Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes. Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.
