Allow locks_mandatory_area() to handle file-private locks correctly. If there is a file-private lock set on an open file and we're doing I/O via the same, then that should not cause anything to block. Handle this by first doing a non-blocking FL_ACCESS check for a file-private lock, and then fall back to checking for a classic POSIX lock (and possibly blocking). Note that this approach is subject to the same races that have always plagued mandatory locking on Linux.

As Trond pointed out, you can currently deadlock yourself by setting a file-private lock on a file that requires mandatory locking and then trying to do I/O on it. Avoid this problem by plumbing some knowledge of file-private locks into the mandatory locking code. In order to do this, we must pass down information about the struct file that's being used to locks_verify_locked.

Neil Brown suggested potentially overloading the l_pid value as a "lock context" field for file-private locks. While I don't think we will probably want to do that here, it's probably a good idea to ensure that in the future we could extend this API without breaking existing callers. Typically the l_pid value is ignored for incoming struct flock arguments, serving mainly as a place to return the pid of the owner if there is a conflicting lock. For file-private locks, require that it currently be set to 0 and return EINVAL if it isn't. If we eventually want to make a non-zero l_pid mean something, then this will help ensure that we don't break legacy programs that are using file-private locks.

Due to some unfortunate history, POSIX locks have very strange and unhelpful semantics. The thing that usually catches people by surprise is that they are dropped whenever the process closes any file descriptor associated with the inode. This is extremely problematic for people developing file servers that need to implement byte-range locks. Developers often need a "lock management" facility to ensure that file descriptors are not closed until all of the locks associated with the inode are finished. Additionally, "classic" POSIX locks are owned by the process. Locks taken between threads within the same process won't conflict with one another, which renders them useless for synchronization between threads. This patchset adds a new type of lock that attempts to address these issues. These locks conflict with classic POSIX read/write locks, but have semantics that are more like BSD locks with respect to inheritance and behavior on close. This is implemented primarily by changing how fl_owner field is set for these locks. Instead of having them owned by the files_struct of the process, they are instead owned by the filp on which they were acquired. Thus, they are inherited across fork() and are only released when the last reference to a filp is put. These new semantics prevent them from being merged with classic POSIX locks, even if they are acquired by the same process. These locks will also conflict with classic POSIX locks even if they are acquired by the same process or on the same file descriptor. The new locks are managed using a new set of cmd values to the fcntl() syscall. The initial implementation of this converts these values to "classic" cmd values at a fairly high level, and the details are not exposed to the underlying filesystem. We may eventually want to push this handing out to the lower filesystem code but for now I don't see any need for it. Also, note that with this implementation the new cmd values are only available via fcntl64() on 32-bit arches. There's little need to add support for legacy apps on a new interface like this.

It's not really feasible to do deadlock detection with FL_FILE_PVT locks since they aren't owned by a single task, per-se. Deadlock detection also tends to be rather expensive so just skip it for these sorts of locks. Also, add a FIXME comment about adding more limited deadlock detection that just applies to ro -> rw upgrades, per Andy's request.

FL_FILE_PVT locks are no longer tied to a particular pid, and are instead inheritable by child processes. Report a l_pid of '-1' for these sorts of locks since the pid is somewhat meaningless for them. This precedent comes from FreeBSD. There, POSIX and flock() locks can conflict with one another. If fcntl(F_GETLK, ...) returns a lock set with flock() then the l_pid member cannot be a process ID because the lock is not held by a process as such. Acked-by: J.

In a later patch, we'll be adding a new type of lock that's owned by the struct file instead of the files_struct. Those sorts of locks will be flagged with a new FL_FILE_PVT flag.

In the 32-bit case fcntl assigns the 64-bit f_pos and i_size to a 32-bit off_t. The existing range checks also seem to depend on signed arithmetic wrapping when it overflows. In practice maybe that works, but we can be more careful. That also allows us to make a more reliable distinction between -EINVAL and -EOVERFLOW. Note that in the 32-bit case SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END might allow the caller to set a lock with starting point no longer representable as a 32-bit value. We could return -EOVERFLOW in such cases, but the locks code is capable of handling such ranges, so we choose to be lenient here. The only problem is that subsequent GETLK calls on such a lock will fail with EOVERFLOW. While we're here, do some cleanup including consolidating code for the flock and flock64 cases.

A leftover lock on the list is surely a sign of a problem of some sort, but it's not necessarily a reason to panic the box. Instead, just log a warning with some info about the lock, and then delete it like we would any other lock. In the event that the filesystem declares a ->lock f_op, we may end up leaking something, but that's generally preferable to an immediate panic. Acked-by: J.

As Al Viro points out, there is an unlikely, but possible race between opening a file and setting a lease on it. generic_add_lease is done with the i_lock held, but the inode->i_flock check in break_lease is lockless. It's possible for another task doing an open to do the entire pathwalk and call break_lease between the point where generic_add_lease checks for a conflicting open and adds the lease to the list. If this occurs, we can end up with a lease set on the file with a conflicting open. To guard against that, check again for a conflicting open after adding the lease to the i_flock list. If the above race occurs, then we can simply unwind the lease setting and return -EAGAIN. Because we take dentry references and acquire write access on the file before calling break_lease, we know that if the i_flock list is empty when the open caller goes to check it then the necessary refcounts have already been incremented. Thus the additional check for a conflicting open will see that there is one and the setlease call will fail.

Since we will probably never implement full HP-UX support, we prefer to drop this compatibility to make it easier for us with Linux userspace programs which mostly never checked for both values.

HPFS needs to load 4 consecutive 512-byte sectors when accessing the directory nodes or bitmaps. We can't switch to 2048-byte block size because files are allocated in the units of 512-byte sectors. Previously, the driver would allocate a 2048-byte area using kmalloc, copy the data from four buffers to this area and eventually copy them back if they were modified. In the current implementation of the buffer cache, buffers are allocated in the pagecache. That means that 4 consecutive 512-byte buffers are stored in consecutive areas in the kernel address space. So, we don't need to allocate extra memory and copy the content of the buffers there. This patch optimizes the code to avoid copying the buffers. It checks if the four buffers are stored in contiguous memory - if they are not, it falls back to allocating a 2048-byte area and copying data there.

Previously, hpfs scanned all bitmaps each time the user asked for free space using statfs. This patch changes it so that hpfs scans the bitmaps only once, remembes the free space and on next invocation of statfs it returns the value instantly. New versions of wine are hammering on the statfs syscall very heavily, making some games unplayable when they're stored on hpfs, with load times in minutes. This should be backported to the stable kernels because it fixes user-visible problem (excessive level load times in wine).
