Pull NFS client updates for Linux 3.4 from Trond Myklebust: "New features include: - Add NFS client support for containers. This should enable most of the necessary functionality, including lockd support, and support for rpc.statd, NFSv4 idmapper and RPCSEC_GSS upcalls into the correct network namespace from which the mount system call was issued. - NFSv4 idmapper scalability improvements Base the idmapper cache on the keyring interface to allow concurrent access to idmapper entries. Start the process of migrating users from the single-threaded daemon-based approach to the multi-threaded request-key based approach. - NFSv4.1 implementation id. Allows the NFSv4.1 client and server to mutually identify each other for logging and debugging purposes. - Support the 'vers=4.1' mount option for mounting NFSv4.1 instead of having to use the more counterintuitive 'vers=4,minorversion=1'. - SUNRPC tracepoints. Start the process of adding tracepoints in order to improve debugging of the RPC layer. - pNFS object layout support for autologin. Important bugfixes include: - Fix a bug in rpc_wake_up/rpc_wake_up_status that caused them to fail to wake up all tasks when applied to priority waitqueues. - Ensure that we handle read delegations correctly, when we try to truncate a file. - A number of fixes for NFSv4 state manager loops (mostly to do with delegation recovery)." * tag 'nfs-for-3.4-1' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs: (224 commits) NFS: fix sb->s_id in nfs debug prints xprtrdma: Remove assumption that each segment is <= PAGE_SIZE xprtrdma: The transport should not bug-check when a dup reply is received pnfs-obj: autologin: Add support for protocol autologin NFS: Remove nfs4_setup_sequence from generic rename code NFS: Remove nfs4_setup_sequence from generic unlink code NFS: Remove nfs4_setup_sequence from generic read code NFS: Remove nfs4_setup_sequence from generic write code NFS: Fix more NFS debug related build warnings SUNRPC/LOCKD: Fix build warnings when CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG is undefined nfs: non void functions must return a value SUNRPC: Kill compiler warning when RPC_DEBUG is unset SUNRPC/NFS: Add Kbuild dependencies for NFS_DEBUG/RPC_DEBUG NFS: Use cond_resched_lock() to reduce latencies in the commit scans NFSv4: It is not safe to dereference lsp->ls_state in release_lockowner NFS: ncommit count is being double decremented SUNRPC: We must not use list_for_each_entry_safe() in rpc_wake_up() Try using machine credentials for RENEW calls NFSv4.1: Fix a few issues in filelayout_commit_pagelist NFSv4.1: Clean ups and bugfixes for the pNFS read/writeback/commit code ...

2012-03-22procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/mapsSiddhesh Poyarekar
Stack for a new thread is mapped by userspace code and passed via sys_clone. This memory is currently seen as anonymous in /proc/<pid>/maps, which makes it difficult to ascertain which mappings are being used for thread stacks. This patch uses the individual task stack pointers to determine which vmas are actually thread stacks. For a multithreaded program like the following: #include <pthread.h> void *thread_main(void *foo) { while(1); } int main() { pthread_t t; pthread_create(&t, NULL, thread_main, NULL); pthread_join(t, NULL); } proc/PID/maps looks like the following: 00400000-00401000 r-xp 00000000 fd:0a 3671804 /home/siddhesh/a.out 00600000-00601000 rw-p 00000000 fd:0a 3671804 /home/siddhesh/a.out 019ef000-01a10000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] 7f8a44491000-7f8a44492000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a44492000-7f8a44c92000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a44c92000-7f8a44e3d000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000 ---p 001ab000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a4503d000-7f8a45041000 r--p 001ab000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a45041000-7f8a45043000 rw-p 001af000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a45043000-7f8a45048000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45048000-7f8a4505f000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4505f000-7f8a4525e000 ---p 00017000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4525e000-7f8a4525f000 r--p 00016000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4525f000-7f8a45260000 rw-p 00017000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a45260000-7f8a45264000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45264000-7f8a45286000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45457000-7f8a4545a000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45484000-7f8a45485000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45485000-7f8a45486000 r--p 00021000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45486000-7f8a45487000 rw-p 00022000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45487000-7f8a45488000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fff6273b000-7fff6275c000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 7fff627ff000-7fff62800000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vsyscall] Here, one could guess that 7f8a44492000-7f8a44c92000 is a stack since the earlier vma that has no permissions (7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000) but that is not always a reliable way to find out which vma is a thread stack. Also, /proc/PID/maps and /proc/PID/task/TID/maps has the same content. With this patch in place, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps are treated as 'maps as the task would see it' and hence, only the vma that that task uses as stack is marked as [stack]. All other 'stack' vmas are marked as anonymous memory. /proc/PID/maps acts as a thread group level view, where all thread stack vmas are marked as [stack:TID] where TID is the process ID of the task that uses that vma as stack, while the process stack is marked as [stack].

2012-03-21pnfs-obj: autologin: Add support for protocol autologinSachin Bhamare
The pnfs-objects protocol mandates that we autologin into devices not present in the system, according to information specified in the get_device_info returned from the server. The Protocol specifies two login hints. 1. An IP address:port combination 2. A string URI which is constructed as a URL with a protocol prefix followed by :// and a string as address. For each protocol prefix the string-address format might be different. We only support the second option. The first option is just redundant to the second one. NOTE: The Kernel part of autologin does not parse the URI string. It just channels it to a user-mode script. So any new login protocols should only update the user-mode script which is a part of the nfs-utils package, but the Kernel need not change. We implement the autologin by using the call_usermodehelper() API. (Thanks to Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com> for pointing it out) So there is no running daemon needed, and/or special setup.

2012-02-19Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtableDavid Howells
Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable (for recording open files and close-on-exec flags) so that we can move away from using fd_sets since we abuse the fd_set structs by not allocating the full-sized structure under normal circumstances and by non-core code looking at the internals of the fd_sets. The first abuse means that use of FD_ZERO() on these fd_sets is not permitted, since that cannot be told about their abnormal lengths. This introduces six wrapper functions for setting, clearing and testing close-on-exec flags and fd-is-open flags: void __set_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); void __clear_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); bool close_on_exec(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt); void __set_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); void __clear_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); bool fd_is_open(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt); Note that I've prepended '__' to the names of the set/clear functions because they require the caller to hold a lock to use them. Note also that I haven't added wrappers for looking behind the scenes at the the array. Possibly that should exist too.

Cautious admins may want to restrict access to debugfs. Currently a manual chown/chmod e.g. in an init script is needed to achieve that. Distributions that want to make the mount options configurable need to add extra config files. By allowing to set the root inode's uid, gid and mode via mount options no such hacks are needed anymore. Instead configuration becomes straight forward via fstab.

2012-01-11procfs: add hidepid= and gid= mount optionsVasiliy Kulikov
Add support for mount options to restrict access to /proc/PID/ directories. The default backward-compatible "relaxed" behaviour is left untouched. The first mount option is called "hidepid" and its value defines how much info about processes we want to be available for non-owners: hidepid=0 (default) means the old behavior - anybody may read all world-readable /proc/PID/* files. hidepid=1 means users may not access any /proc/<pid>/ directories, but their own. Sensitive files like cmdline, sched*, status are now protected against other users. As permission checking done in proc_pid_permission() and files' permissions are left untouched, programs expecting specific files' modes are not confused. hidepid=2 means hidepid=1 plus all /proc/PID/ will be invisible to other users. It doesn't mean that it hides whether a process exists (it can be learned by other means, e.g. by kill -0 $PID), but it hides process' euid and egid. It compicates intruder's task of gathering info about running processes, whether some daemon runs with elevated privileges, whether another user runs some sensitive program, whether other users run any program at all, etc. gid=XXX defines a group that will be able to gather all processes' info (as in hidepid=0 mode). This group should be used instead of putting nonroot user in sudoers file or something. However, untrusted users (like daemons, etc.) which are not supposed to monitor the tasks in the whole system should not be added to the group. hidepid=1 or higher is designed to restrict access to procfs files, which might reveal some sensitive private information like precise keystrokes timings: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2011/11/05/3 hidepid=1/2 doesn't break monitoring userspace tools. ps, top, pgrep, and conky gracefully handle EPERM/ENOENT and behave as if the current user is the only user running processes. pstree shows the process subtree which contains "pstree" process. Note: the patch doesn't deal with setuid/setgid issues of keeping preopened descriptors of procfs files (like https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/7/368). We rely on that the leaked information like the scheduling counters of setuid apps doesn't threaten anybody's privacy - only the user started the setuid program may read the counters.

2012-01-04ext4: add new online resize interfaceYongqiang Yang
This patch adds new online resize interface, whose input argument is a 64-bit integer indicating how many blocks there are in the resized fs. In new resize impelmentation, all work like allocating group tables are done by kernel side, so the new resize interface can support flex_bg feature and prepares ground for suppoting resize with features like bigalloc and exclude bitmap. Besides these, user-space tools just passes in the new number of blocks. We delay initializing the bitmaps and inode tables of added groups if possible and add multi groups (a flex groups) each time, so new resize is very fast like mkfs.
