d895cb1af1 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
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.

  PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

c1ac3ffcd0 nfsd: Fix possible BUG_ON firing in set_change_info
If vfs_getattr in fill_post_wcc returns an error, we don't
set fh_post_change.
For NFSv4, this can result in set_change_info triggering a BUG_ON.
i.e. fh_post_saved being zero isn't really a bug.

So:
 - instead of BUGging when fh_post_saved is zero, just clear ->atomic.
 - if vfs_getattr fails in fill_post_wcc, take a copy of i_ctime anyway.
   This will be used i seg_change_info, but not overly trusted.
 - While we are there, remove the pointless 'if' statements in set_change_info.
   There is no harm setting all the values.

c654b8a9cb nfsd: support ext4 i_version
ext4 supports a real NFSv4 change attribute, which is bumped whenever
the ctime would be updated, including times when two updates arrive
within a jiffy of each other.  (Note that although ext4 has space for
nanosecond-precision ctime, the real resolution is lower: it actually
uses jiffies as the time-source.)  This ensures clients will invalidate
their caches when they need to.

There is some fear that keeping the i_version up-to-date could have
performance drawbacks, so for now it's turned on only by a mount option.
We hope to do something better eventually.

ba67a39efd knfsd: Allow NFSv2/3 WRITE calls to succeed when krb5i etc is used.
When RPCSEC/GSS and krb5i is used, requests are padded, typically to a multiple
of 8 bytes.  This can make the request look slightly longer than it
really is.

As of

	f34b95689d "The NFSv2/NFSv3 server does not handle zero
		length WRITE request correctly",

the xdr decode routines for NFSv2 and NFSv3 reject requests that aren't
the right length, so krb5i (for example) WRITE requests can get lost.

This patch relaxes the appropriate test and enhances the related comment.

40ee5dc6af knfsd: 64 bit ino support for NFS server
Modify the NFS server code to support 64 bit ino's, as
appropriate for the system and the NFS protocol version.

The gist of the changes is to query the underlying file system
for attributes and not just to use the cached attributes in the
inode.  For this specific purpose, the inode only contains an
ino field which unsigned long, which is large enough on 64 bit
platforms, but is not large enough on 32 bit platforms.

I haven't been able to find any reason why ->getattr can't be called
while i_mutex.  The specification indicates that i_mutex is not
required to be held in order to invoke ->getattr, but it doesn't say
that i_mutex can't be held while invoking ->getattr.

I also haven't come to any conclusions regarding the value of
lease_get_mtime() and whether it should or should not be invoked
by fill_post_wcc() too.  I chose not to change this because I
thought that it was safer to leave well enough alone.  If we
decide to make a change, it can be done separately.

072f62ed85 knfsd: various nfsd xdr cleanups
1/ decode_sattr and decode_sattr3 never return NULL, so remove
   several checks for that. ditto for xdr_decode_hyper.

2/ replace some open coded XDR_QUADLEN calls with calls to
   XDR_QUADLEN

3/ in decode_writeargs, simply an 'if' to use a single
   calculation.
   .page_len is the length of that part of the packet that did
   not fit in the first page (the head).
   So the length of the data part is the remainder of the
   head, plus page_len.

f34b95689d The NFSv2/NFSv3 server does not handle zero length WRITE requests correctly
The NFSv2 and NFSv3 servers do not handle WRITE requests for 0 bytes
correctly.  The specifications indicate that the server should accept the
request, but it should mostly turn into a no-op.  Currently, the server
will return an XDR decode error, which it should not.

Attached is a patch which addresses this issue.  It also adds some boundary
checking to ensure that the request contains as much data as was requested
to be written.  It also correctly handles an NFSv3 request which requests
to write more data than the server has stated that it is prepared to
handle.  Previously, there was some support which looked like it should
work, but wasn't quite right.

af6a4e280e [PATCH] knfsd: add some new fsid types
Add support for using a filesystem UUID to identify and export point in the
filehandle.

For NFSv2, this UUID is xor-ed down to 4 or 8 bytes so that it doesn't take up
too much room.  For NFSv3+, we use the full 16 bytes, and possibly also a
64bit inode number for exports beneath the root of a filesystem.

When generating an fsid to return in 'stat' information, use the UUID (hashed
down to size) if it is available and a small 'fsid' was not specifically
provided.

a0ad13ef64 [PATCH] knfsd: Fix type mismatch with filldir_t used by nfsd
nfsd defines a type 'encode_dent_fn' which is much like 'filldir_t' except
that the first pointer is 'struct readdir_cd *' rather than 'void *'.  It
then casts encode_dent_fn points to 'filldir_t' as needed.  This hides any
other type mismatches between the two such as the fact that the 'ino' arg
recently changed from ino_t to u64.

So: get rid of 'encode_dent_fn', get rid of the cast of the function type,
change the first arg of various functions from 'struct readdir_cd *' to
'void *', and live with the fact that we have a little less type checking
on the calling of these functions now.  Less internal (to nfsd) checking
offset by more external checking, which is more important.

and also allows it to depend on the servers declared sv_bufsiz.

Note that we don't actually increase sv_bufsz for nfs yet.  That comes next.

3cc03b164c [PATCH] knfsd: Avoid excess stack usage in svc_tcp_recvfrom
..  by allocating the array of 'kvec' in 'struct svc_rqst'.

As we plan to increase RPCSVC_MAXPAGES from 8 upto 256, we can no longer
allocate an array of this size on the stack.  So we allocate it in 'struct
svc_rqst'.

However svc_rqst contains (indirectly) an array of the same type and size
(actually several, but they are in a union).  So rather than waste space, we
move those arrays out of the separately allocated union and into svc_rqst to
share with the kvec moved out of svc_tcp_recvfrom (various arrays are used at
different times, so there is no conflict).

4452435948 [PATCH] knfsd: Replace two page lists in struct svc_rqst with one
We are planning to increase RPCSVC_MAXPAGES from about 8 to about 256.  This
means we need to be a bit careful about arrays of size RPCSVC_MAXPAGES.

struct svc_rqst contains two such arrays.  However the there are never more
that RPCSVC_MAXPAGES pages in the two arrays together, so only one array is
needed.

The two arrays are for the pages holding the request, and the pages holding
the reply.  Instead of two arrays, we can simply keep an index into where the
first reply page is.

This patch also removes a number of small inline functions that probably
server to obscure what is going on rather than clarify it, and opencode the
needed functionality.

Also remove the 'rq_restailpage' variable as it is *always* 0.  i.e.  if the
response 'xdr' structure has a non-empty tail it is always in the same pages
as the head.

 check counters are initilised and incr properly
 check for consistant usage of ++ etc
 maybe extra some inlines for common approach

report an error) into the main NFS procedure handling routines.

There is still a called to vfs_gettattr (related to the ACL code) where the
status is ignored, and called to nfsd_sync_dir don't check return status
either.

0ba7536d5d [PATCH] knfsd: Fix some minor sign problems in nfsd/xdr
There are a couple of tests which could possibly be confused by extremely
large numbers appearing in 'xdr' packets.  I think the closest to an exploit
you could get would be writing random data from a free page into a file - i.e.
 leak data out of kernel space.

I'm fairly sure they cannot be used for remote compromise.

a257cdd0e2 [PATCH] NFSD: Add server support for NFSv3 ACLs.
This adds functions for encoding and decoding POSIX ACLs for the NFSACL
 protocol extension, and the GETACL and SETACL RPCs.  The implementation is
 compatible with NFSACL in Solaris.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
