      ext4 crypto: allocate bounce pages using GFP_NOWAIT · 3dbb5eb9
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Previously we allocated bounce pages using a combination of
      alloc_page() and mempool_alloc() with the __GFP_WAIT bit set.
      Instead, use mempool_alloc() with GFP_NOWAIT.  The mempool_alloc()
      function will try using alloc_pages() initially, and then only use the
      mempool reserve of pages if alloc_pages() is unable to fulfill the
      request.
      
      This minimizes the the impact on the mm layer when we need to do a
      large amount of writeback of encrypted files, as Jaeguk Kim had
      reported that under a heavy fio workload on a system with restricted
      amounts memory (which unfortunately, includes many mobile handsets),
      he had observed the the OOM killer getting triggered several times.
      Using GFP_NOWAIT
      
      If the mempool_alloc() function fails, we will retry the page
      writeback at a later time; the function of the mempool is to ensure
      that we can writeback at least 32 pages at a time, so we can more
      efficiently dispatch I/O under high memory pressure situations.  In
      the future we should make this be a tunable so we can determine the
      best tradeoff between permanently sequestering memory and the ability
      to quickly launder pages so we can free up memory quickly when
      necessary.

      ext4 crypto: get rid of ci_mode from struct ext4_crypt_info · 1aaa6e8b
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      The ci_mode field was superfluous, and getting rid of it gets rid of
      an unused hole in the structure.

      ext4: clean up superblock encryption mode fields · f5aed2c2
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      The superblock fields s_file_encryption_mode and s_dir_encryption_mode
      are vestigal, so remove them as a cleanup.  While we're at it, allow
      file systems with both encryption and inline_data enabled at the same
      time to work correctly.  We can't have encrypted inodes with inline
      data, but there's no reason to prohibit unencrypted inodes from using
      the inline data feature.

      ext4 crypto: reorganize how we store keys in the inode · b7236e21
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      This is a pretty massive patch which does a number of different things:
      
      1) The per-inode encryption information is now stored in an allocated
         data structure, ext4_crypt_info, instead of directly in the node.
         This reduces the size usage of an in-memory inode when it is not
         using encryption.
      
      2) We drop the ext4_fname_crypto_ctx entirely, and use the per-inode
         encryption structure instead.  This remove an unnecessary memory
         allocation and free for the fname_crypto_ctx as well as allowing us
         to reuse the ctfm in a directory for multiple lookups and file
         creations.
      
      3) We also cache the inode's policy information in the ext4_crypt_info
         structure so we don't have to continually read it out of the
         extended attributes.
      
      4) We now keep the keyring key in the inode's encryption structure
         instead of releasing it after we are done using it to derive the
         per-inode key.  This allows us to test to see if the key has been
         revoked; if it has, we prevent the use of the derived key and free
         it.
      
      5) When an inode is released (or when the derived key is freed), we
         will use memset_explicit() to zero out the derived key, so it's not
         left hanging around in memory.  This implies that when a user logs
         out, it is important to first revoke the key, and then unlink it,
         and then finally, to use "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" to
         release any decrypted pages and dcache entries from the system
         caches.
      
      6) All this, and we also shrink the number of lines of code by around
         100.  :-)

      ext4 crypto: separate kernel and userspace structure for the key · e2881b1b
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Use struct ext4_encryption_key only for the master key passed via the
      kernel keyring.
      
      For internal kernel space users, we now use struct ext4_crypt_info.
      This will allow us to put information from the policy structure so we
      can cache it and avoid needing to constantly looking up the extended
      attribute.  We will do this in a spearate patch.  This patch is mostly
      mechnical to make it easier for patch review.

      ext4 crypto: optimize filename encryption · 5b643f9c
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Encrypt the filename as soon it is passed in by the user.  This avoids
      our needing to encrypt the filename 2 or 3 times while in the process
      of creating a filename.
      
      Similarly, when looking up a directory entry, encrypt the filename
      early, or if the encryption key is not available, base-64 decode the
      file syystem so that the hash value and the last 16 bytes of the
      encrypted filename is available in the new struct ext4_filename data
      structure.

      watchdog: Fix merge 'conflict' · ab992dc3
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Two watchdog changes that came through different trees had a non
      conflicting conflict, that is, one changed the semantics of a variable
      but no actual code conflict happened. So the merge appeared fine, but
      the resulting code did not behave as expected.
      
      Commit 195daf66 ("watchdog: enable the new user interface of the
      watchdog mechanism") changes the semantics of watchdog_user_enabled,
      which thereafter is only used by the functions introduced by
      b3738d29 ("watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions").
      
      There further appears to be a distinct lack of serialization between
      setting and using watchdog_enabled, so perhaps we should wrap the
      {en,dis}able_all() things in watchdog_proc_mutex.
      
      This patch fixes a s2r failure reported by Michal; which I cannot
      readily explain. But this does make the code internally consistent
      again.
