Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454Signed-off-by:

struct proc_dir_entry::owner is going to be removed. Now it's only necessary to protect PDEs which are using ->read_proc, ->write_proc hooks. However, ->owner assignments are racy and make it very easy for someone to switch ->owner on live PDE (as some subsystems do) without fixing refcounts and so on. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 So, ->owner is on death row. Proxy file operations exist already (proc_file_operations), just bump usecount when necessary. Signed-off-by:

This patch cleans up some redundancies in the reiserfs tree path code. decrement_bcount() is essentially the same function as brelse(), so we use that instead. decrement_counters_in_path() is exactly the same function as pathrelse(), so we kill that and use pathrelse() instead. There's also a bit of cleanup that makes the code a bit more readable. Signed-off-by:

Some time ago, some changes were made to make security inode attributes be atomically written during inode creation. ReiserFS fell behind in this area, but with the reworking of the xattr code, it's now fairly easy to add. The following patch adds the ability for security attributes to be added automatically during inode creation. Signed-off-by:

The current reiserfs xattr implementation open codes reiserfs_readdir and frees the path before calling the filldir function. Typically, the filldir function is something that modifies the file system, such as a chown or an inode deletion that also require reading of an inode associated with each direntry. Since the file system is modified, the path retained becomes invalid for the next run. In addition, it runs backwards in attempt to minimize activity. This is clearly suboptimal from a code cleanliness perspective as well as performance-wise. This patch implements a generic reiserfs_for_each_xattr that uses the generic readdir and a specific filldir routine that simply populates an array of dentries and then performs a specific operation on them. When all files have been operated on, it then calls the operation on the directory itself. The result is a noticable code reduction and better performance. Signed-off-by:

Deadlocks are possible in the xattr code between the journal lock and the xattr sems. This patch implements journalling for xattr operations. The benefit is twofold: * It gets rid of the deadlock possibility by always ensuring that xattr write operations are initiated inside a transaction. * It corrects the problem where xattr backing files aren't considered any differently than normal files, despite the fact they are metadata. I discussed the added journal load with Chris Mason, and we decided that since xattrs (versus other journal activity) is fairly rare, the introduction of larger transactions to support journaled xattrs wouldn't be too big a deal.

Christoph Hellwig had asked me quite some time ago to port the reiserfs xattrs to the generic xattr interface. This patch replaces the reiserfs-specific xattr handling code with the generic struct xattr_handler. However, since reiserfs doesn't split the prefix and name when accessing xattrs, it can't leverage generic_{set,get,list,remove}xattr without needlessly reconstructing the name on the back end. Update 7/26/07: Added missing dput() to deletion path. Update 8/30/07: Added missing mark_inode_dirty when i_mode is used to represent an ACL and no previous ACL existed. Signed-off-by: -

The per-inode locking can be made more fine-grained to surround just the interaction with the filesystem itself. This really only applies to protecting reads during a write, since concurrent writes are barred with inode->i_mutex at the vfs level. Signed-off-by:

The xattr file open/lookup code is needlessly complex. We can use vfs-level operations to perform the same work, and also simplify the locking constraints. The locking advantages will be exploited in future patches. Signed-off-by:

The current reiserfs xattr implementation will not clean up old xattr files if files are deleted when REISERFS_FS_XATTR is unset. This results in inaccessible lost files, wasting space. This patch compiles in basic xattr knowledge, such as how to delete them and change ownership for quota tracking. If the file system has never used xattrs, then the operation is quite fast: it returns immediately when it sees there is no .reiserfs_priv directory. Signed-off-by:

There are a number of helper functions for marking a reiserfs inode private that were leftover from reiserfs did its own thing wrt to private inodes. S_PRIVATE has been in the kernel for some time, so this patch removes the helpers and uses IS_PRIVATE instead. Signed-off-by:

Although reiserfs can currently handle severe errors such as journal failure, it cannot handle less severe errors like metadata i/o failure. The following patch adds a reiserfs_error() function akin to the one in ext3. Subsequent patches will use this new error handler to handle errors more gracefully in general. Signed-off-by:

This patch kills off reiserfs_journal_abort as it is never called, and combines __reiserfs_journal_abort_{soft,hard} into one function called reiserfs_abort_journal, which performs the same work. It is silent as opposed to the old version, since the message was always issued after a regular 'abort' message. Signed-off-by: -

ReiserFS panics can be somewhat inconsistent. In some cases: * a unique identifier may be associated with it * the function name may be included * the device may be printed separately This patch aims to make warnings more consistent. reiserfs_warning() prints the device name, so printing it a second time is not required. The function name for a warning is always helpful in debugging, so it is now automatically inserted into the output. Hans has stated that every warning should have a unique identifier. Some cases lack them, others really shouldn't have them. reiserfs_warning() now expects an id associated with each message. In the rare case where one isn't needed, "" will suffice. Signed-off-by:

The formatting of the error buffer is race prone. It uses static buffers for both formatting and output. While overwriting the error buffer can product garbled output, overwriting the format buffer with incompatible % directives can cause crashes. Signed-off-by:

vsprintf will consume varargs on its own. Skipping them manually results in garbage in the error buffer, or Oopses in the case of pointers. This patch removes the advancement and fixes a number of bugs where crashes were observed as side effects of a regular error report. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes up the reiserfs code such that transaction ids are always unsigned ints. In places they can currently be signed ints or unsigned longs. The former just causes an annoying clm-2200 warning and may join a transaction when it should wait. The latter is just for correctness since the disk format uses a 32-bit transaction id. There aren't any runtime problems that result from it not wrapping at the correct location since the value is truncated correctly even on big endian systems. The 0 value might make it to disk, but the mount-time checks will bump it to 10 itself. Signed-off-by:
