afs: Support interacting with multiple user namespaces

2013-02-13T14:00:51+00:00

Modify struct afs_file_status to store owner as a kuid_t and group as a kgid_t. In xdr_decode_AFSFetchStatus as owner is now a kuid_t and group is now a kgid_t don't use the EXTRACT macro. Instead perform the work of the extract macro explicitly. Read the value with ntohl and convert it to the appropriate type with make_kuid or make_kgid. Test if the value is different from what is stored in status and update changed. Update the value in status. In xdr_encode_AFS_StoreStatus call from_kuid or from_kgid as we are computing the on the wire encoding. Initialize uids with GLOBAL_ROOT_UID instead of 0. Initialize gids with GLOBAL_ROOT_GID instead of 0. Cc: David Howells Acked-by: Serge Hallyn Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

vfs: Rename end_writeback() to clear_inode()

2012-05-06T05:43:41+00:00

After we moved inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() it doesn't make sense to call the function end_writeback() anymore. Rename it to clear_inode() which well says what the function really does - set I_CLEAR flag. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Fengguang Wu

AFS: Use i_generation not i_version for the vnode uniquifier

2011-06-16T15:44:48+00:00

Store the AFS vnode uniquifier in the i_generation field, not the i_version field of the inode struct. i_version can then be given the AFS data version number. Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: Al Viro

AFS: Use d_automount() rather than abusing follow_link()

AFS: Implement an autocell mount capability [ver #2]

2010-08-11T17:11:29+00:00

Implement the ability for the root directory of a mounted AFS filesystem to accept lookups of arbitrary directory names, to interpet the names as the names of cells, to look the cell names up in the DNS for AFSDB records and to mount the root.cell volume of the nominated cell on the pseudo-directory created by lookup. This facility is requested by passing: -o autocell to the mountpoint for which this is desired, usually the /afs mount. To use this facility, a DNS upcall program is required for AFSDB records. This can be obtained from: http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/afs/dns.afsdb.c It should be compiled with -lresolv and -lkeyutils and installed as, say: /usr/sbin/dns.afsdb Then the following line needs to be added to /sbin/request-key.conf: create dns_resolver afsdb:* * /usr/sbin/dns.afsdb %k This can be tested by mounting AFS, say: insmod dns_resolver.ko insmod af-rxrpc.ko insmod kafs.ko rootcell=grand.central.org mount -t afs "#grand.central.org:root.cell." /afs -o autocell and doing: ls /afs/grand.central.org/ which should show: archive/ cvs/ doc/ local/ project/ service/ software/ user/ www/ if it works.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
