Linus Torvalds 982197277c Merge branch 'for-3.8' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux
Pull nfsd update from Bruce Fields:
 "Included this time:

   - more nfsd containerization work from Stanislav Kinsbursky: we're
     not quite there yet, but should be by 3.9.

   - NFSv4.1 progress: implementation of basic backchannel security
     negotiation and the mandatory BACKCHANNEL_CTL operation.  See

       http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues

     for remaining TODO's

   - Fixes for some bugs that could be triggered by unusual compounds.
     Our xdr code wasn't designed with v4 compounds in mind, and it
     shows.  A more thorough rewrite is still a todo.

   - If you've ever seen "RPC: multiple fragments per record not
     supported" logged while using some sort of odd userland NFS client,
     that should now be fixed.

   - Further work from Jeff Layton on our mechanism for storing
     information about NFSv4 clients across reboots.

   - Further work from Bryan Schumaker on his fault-injection mechanism
     (which allows us to discard selective NFSv4 state, to excercise
     rarely-taken recovery code paths in the client.)

   - The usual mix of miscellaneous bugs and cleanup.

  Thanks to everyone who tested or contributed this cycle."

Cyrill Gorcunov 711c7bf991 fs, exportfs: add exportfs_encode_inode_fh() helper
We will need this helper in the next patch to provide a file handle for
inotify marks in /proc/pid/fdinfo output.

The patch is rather providing the way to use inodes directly when dentry
is not available (like in case of inotify system).

Nick Piggin 873feea09e fs: dcache per-inode inode alias locking
dcache_inode_lock can be replaced with per-inode locking. Use existing
inode->i_lock for this. This is slightly non-trivial because we sometimes
need to find the inode from the dentry, which requires d_inode to be
stabilised (either with refcount or d_lock).

Nick Piggin dc0474be3e fs: dcache rationalise dget variants
dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already
held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point).
However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any
caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy
dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time.

J. Bruce Fields a4f4d6df53 EXPORTFS: handle NULL returns from fh_to_dentry()/fh_to_parent()
While 440037287c "[PATCH] switch all filesystems over to
d_obtain_alias" removed some cases where fh_to_dentry() and
fh_to_parent() could return NULL, there are still a few NULL returns
left in individual filesystems.  Thus it was a mistake for that commit
to remove the handling of NULL returns in the callers.

Revert those parts of 440037287c which removed the NULL handling.

(We could, alternatively, modify all implementations to return -ESTALE
instead of NULL, but that proves to require fixing a number of
filesystems, and in some cases it's arguably more natural to return
NULL.)

Thanks to David for original patch and Linus, Christoph, and Hugh for
review.

Christoph Hellwig 2596110a39 exportfs: add new methods
Add the guts for the new filesystem API to exportfs.

There's now a fh_to_dentry method that returns a dentry for the object looked
for given a filehandle fragment, and a fh_to_parent operation that returns the
dentry for the encoded parent directory in case the file handle contains it.

There are default implementations for these methods that only take a callback
for an nfs-enhanced iget variant and implement the rest of the semantics.

Christoph Hellwig 6e91ea2bb0 exportfs: add fid type
This patchset is a medium scale rewrite of the export operations interface.
The goal is to make the interface less complex, and easier to understand from
the filesystem side, aswell as preparing generic support for exporting of
64bit inode numbers.

This touches all nfs exporting filesystems, and I've done testing on all of
the filesystems I have here locally (xfs, ext2, ext3, reiserfs, jfs)

This patch:

Add a structured fid type so that we don't have to pass an array of u32 values
around everywhere.  It's a union of possible layouts.

As a start there's only the u32 array and the traditional 32bit inode format,
but there will be more in one of my next patchset when I start to document the
various filehandle formats we have in lowlevel filesystems better.

Also add an enum that gives the various filehandle types human- readable
names.

Note: Some people might think the struct containing an anonymous union is
ugly, but I didn't want to pass around a raw union type.

Christoph Hellwig 019ab801cf knfsd: exportfs: split out reconnecting a dentry from find_exported_dentry
There's a clear subfunctionality of reconnecting a given dentry to the main
dentry tree in find_exported_dentry, that can be called both for the dentry
we're looking for or it's parent directory.

This patch splits the subfunctionality out into a separate helper to make the
code more readable and document it's intent.  As a nice side-optimization we
can avoid getting a superfluous dentry reference count in the case we need to
reconnect a directory on it's own.

Christoph Hellwig 5ca2960733 knfsd: exportfs: remove iget abuse
When the exportfs interface was added the expectation was that filesystems
provide an operation to convert from a file handle to an inode/dentry, but it
kept a backwards compat option that still calls into iget.

Calling into iget from non-filesystem code is very bad, because it gives too
little information to filesystem, and simply crashes if the filesystem doesn't
implement the ->read_inode routine.

Fortunately there are only two filesystems left using this fallback: efs and
jfs.  This patch moves a copy of export_iget to each of those to implement the
get_dentry method.

While this is a temporary increase of lines of code in the kernel it allows
for a much cleaner interface and important code restructuring in later
patches.

Randy Dunlap e63340ae6b header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used
Remove includes of <linux/smp_lock.h> where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

David Howells afefdbb28a [PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbers
These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when
communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system.  They are required
because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS
for example.  The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace
automatically where the arch supports it.

Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode
number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and
failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and
so overlaps occur.

This patch:

Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit
inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace.

The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where
available and where possible.  If it is not possible to represent the inode
number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then
error EOVERFLOW will be issued.

Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode
number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a
directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented.

Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit
system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that
there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to.

Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a
32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the
same reasons.

It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc
uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions
exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter
unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

Peter Staubach 8c7b389e53 [PATCH] NFS server subtree_check returns dubious value
Address a problem found when a Linux NFS server uses the "subtree_check"
export option.

The "subtree_check" NFS export option was designed to prohibit a client
from using a file handle for which it should not have permission.  The
algorithm used is to ensure that the entire path to the file being
referenced is accessible to the user attempting to use the file handle.  If
some part of the path is not accessible, then the operation is aborted and
the appropriate version of ESTALE is returned to the NFS client.

The error, ESTALE, is unfortunate in that it causes NFS clients to make
certain assumptions about the continued existence of the file.  They assume
that the file no longer exists and refuse to attempt to access it again.
In this case, the file really does exist, but access was denied by the
server for a particular user.

A better error to return would be an EACCES sort of error.  This would
inform the client that the particular operation that it was attempting was
not allowed, without the nasty side effects of the ESTALE error.

This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
