initialized When calling fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, lck) [with lck=F_WRLCK or F_RDLCK], the custom signal or owner (if any were previously set using F_SETSIG or F_SETOWN fcntls) would be reset when F_SETLEASE was called for the second time on the same file descriptor. This bug is a regression of 2.6.37 and is described here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43336 This patch reverts a commit from Oct 2004 (with subject "nfs4 lease: move the f_delown processing") which originally introduced the lm_release_private callback.

The only checks of the long argument passed to fcntl(fd,F_SETLEASE,.) are done after converting the long to an int. Thus some illegal values may be let through and cause problems in later code. [ They actually *don't* cause problems in mainline, as of Dave Jones's commit 8d657eb3b438 "Remove easily user-triggerable BUG from generic_setlease", but we should fix this anyway.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman: "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete implementation. Highlights: - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe. - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe. - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared uids remains the same. - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or better than it is today. - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or operationally with the user namespace enabled. - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1 billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to 164ns per stat operation). - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value. Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause entertaining failures in userspace. - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails. I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and handle the case where setuid fails. - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we can't map. - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

2012-04-01CIFS: Fix VFS lock usage for oplocked filesPavel Shilovsky
We can deadlock if we have a write oplock and two processes use the same file handle. In this case the first process can't unlock its lock if the second process blocked on the lock in the same time. Fix it by using posix_lock_file rather than posix_lock_file_wait under cinode->lock_mutex. If we request a blocking lock and posix_lock_file indicates that there is another lock that prevents us, wait untill that lock is released and restart our call.

2011-12-26vfs: fix handling of lock allocation failure in lease-break caseLinus Torvalds
Bruce Fields notes that commit 778fc546f749 ("locks: fix tracking of inprogress lease breaks") introduced a possible error pointer dereference on failure to allocate memory. locks_conflict() will dereference the passed-in new lease lock structure that may be an error pointer. This means an open (without O_NONBLOCK set) on a file with a lease applied (generally only done when Samba or nfsd (with v4) is running) could crash if a kmalloc() fails. So instead of playing games with IS_ERROR() all over the place, just check the allocation failure early. That makes the code more straightforward, and avoids this possible bad pointer dereference.

2011-08-19locks: fix tracking of inprogress lease breaksJ. Bruce Fields
We currently use a bit in fl_flags to record whether a lease is being broken, and set fl_type to the type (RDLCK or UNLCK) that it will eventually have. This means that once the lease break starts, we forget what the lease's type *used* to be. Breaking a read lease will then result in blocking read opens, even though there's no conflict--because the lease type is now F_UNLCK and we can no longer tell whether it was previously a read or write lease. So, instead keep fl_type as the original type (the type which we enforce), and keep track of whether we're unlocking or merely downgrading by replacing the single FL_INPROGRESS flag by FL_UNLOCK_PENDING and FL_DOWNGRADE_PENDING flags. To get this right we also need to track separate downgrade and break times, to handle the case where a write-leased file gets conflicting opens first for read, then later for write. (I first considered just eliminating the downgrade behavior completely--nfsv4 doesn't need it, and nobody as far as I can tell actually uses it currently--but Jeremy Allison tells me that Windows oplocks do behave this way, so Samba will probably use this some day.)

locks_alloc_lock() assumed that the allocated struct file_lock is already initialized to zero members.

This will for example result in passing random fl_start values to userspace in fuse for FL_FLOCK locks, which is an information leak at best. Fix by reinitializing those members which may be non-zero after freeing.

2010-10-27fasync: re-organize fasync entry insertion to allow it under a spinlockLinus Torvalds
You currently cannot use "fasync_helper()" in an atomic environment to insert a new fasync entry, because it will need to allocate the new "struct fasync_struct". Yet fcntl_setlease() wants to call this under lock_flocks(), which is in the process of being converted from the BKL to a spinlock. In order to fix this, this abstracts out the actual fasync list insertion and the fasync allocations into functions of their own, and teaches fs/locks.c to pre-allocate the fasync_struct entry. That way the actual list insertion can happen while holding the required spinlock.

2010-10-26procfs: fix numbering in /proc/locksJerome Marchand
The lock number in /proc/locks (first field) is implemented by a counter (private field of struct seq_file) which is incremented at each call of locks_show() and reset to 1 in locks_start() whatever the offset is. It should be reset according to the actual position in the list. Because of this, the numbering erratically restarts at 1 several times when reading a long /proc/locks file. Moreover, locks_show() can be called twice to print a single line thus skipping a number. The counter should be incremented in locks_next(). And last, pos is a loff_t, which can be bigger than a pointer, so we don't use the pointer as an integer anymore, and allocate a loff_t instead.

2010-10-05fs/locks.c: prepare for BKL removalArnd Bergmann
This prepares the removal of the big kernel lock from the file locking code. We still use the BKL as long as fs/lockd uses it and ceph might sleep, but we can flip the definition to a private spinlock as soon as that's done. All users outside of fs/lockd get converted to use lock_flocks() instead of lock_kernel() where appropriate. Based on an earlier patch to use a spinlock from Matthew Wilcox, who has attempted this a few times before, the earliest patch from over 10 years ago turned it into a semaphore, which ended up being slower than the BKL and was subsequently reverted. Someone should do some serious performance testing when this becomes a spinlock, since this has caused problems before. Using a spinlock should be at least as good as the BKL in theory, but who knows...

2009-07-18sched: Convert the only user of cond_resched_bkl to use cond_resched()Frederic Weisbecker
fs/locks.c:flock_lock_file() is the only user of cond_resched_bkl() This helper doesn't do anything more than cond_resched(). The latter naming is enough to explain that we are rescheduling if needed. The bkl suffix suggests another semantics but it's actually a synonym of cond_resched().

2009-04-24lockd: call locks_release_private to cleanup per-filesystem stateFelix Blyakher
For every lock request lockd creates a new file_lock object in nlmsvc_setgrantargs() by copying the passed in file_lock with locks_copy_lock(). A filesystem can attach it's own lock_operations vector to the file_lock. It has to be cleaned up at the end of the file_lock's life. However, lockd doesn't do it today, yet it asserts in nlmclnt_release_lockargs() that the per-filesystem state is clean. This patch fixes it by exporting locks_release_private() and adding it to nlmsvc_freegrantargs(), to be symmetrical to creating a file_lock in nlmsvc_setgrantargs().
