The vfs checks if a task has the appropriate access for get and set operations, but it cannot do that for the list operation; the file system must check for that itself.

Ubifs installs a security xattr handler in sb->s_xattr but doesn't use the generic_{get,set,list,remove}xattr inode operations needed for processing this list of attribute handlers; the handler is never called. Instead, ubifs uses its own xattr handlers which also process security xattrs. Remove the dead code.

When a filesystem that contains POSIX ACLs is mounted without ACL support (-o noacl), the appropriate behavior is not to list any existing POSIX ACL xattrs. The return value for list xattr handlers in this case is 0, not an error code: several filesystems that use the POSIX ACL xattr handlers do not expect the list operation to fail. Symlinks cannot have ACLs, so posix_acl_xattr_list will never be called for symlinks in the first place.

The big warning comment that is currently at the end of struct inode_operations was added as part of this commit: 4aa7c634 ("vfs: add i_op->dentry_open()") It was added to warn people not to use the newly added 'dentry_open' function pointer. This function pointer was removed as part of this commit: 4bacc9c9 ("overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay") The comment was left behind and now refers to nothing, so remove it.

The function currently called "__block_page_mkwrite()" used to be called "block_page_mkwrite()" until a wrapper for this function was added by: commit 24da4fab ("vfs: Create __block_page_mkwrite() helper passing error values back") This wrapper, the current "block_page_mkwrite()", is currently unused. __block_page_mkwrite() is used directly by ext4, nilfs2 and xfs. Remove the unused wrapper, rename __block_page_mkwrite() back to block_page_mkwrite() and update the comment above block_page_mkwrite().

pipe_write() would return 0 if it failed to merge the beginning of the data to write with the last, partially filled pipe buffer. It should return an error code instead. Userspace programs could be confused by write() returning 0 when called with a nonzero 'count'. The EFAULT error case was a regression from f0d1bec9 ("new helper: copy_page_from_iter()"), while the ops->confirm() error case was a much older bug. Test program: #include <assert.h> #include <errno.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(void) { int fd[2]; char data[1] = {0}; assert(0 == pipe(fd)); assert(1 == write(fd[1], data, 1)); /* prior to this patch, write() returned 0 here */ assert(-1 == write(fd[1], NULL, 1)); assert(errno == EFAULT); } Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # at least v3.15+ Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers3@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

If sys_pipe() was unable to allocate a 'struct file', it always failed with ENFILE, which means "The number of simultaneously open files in the system would exceed a system-imposed limit." However, alloc_file() actually returns an ERR_PTR value and might fail with other error codes. Currently, in addition to ENFILE, it can fail with ENOMEM, potentially when there are few open files in the system. Update sys_pipe() to preserve this error code. In a prior submission of a similar patch (1) some concern was raised about introducing a new error code for sys_pipe(). However, for most system calls, programs cannot assume that new error codes will never be introduced. In addition, ENOMEM was, in fact, already a possible error code for sys_pipe(), in the case where the file descriptor table could not be expanded due to insufficient memory.

Do not clobber the buffer space passed from `search_binary_handler' and originally preloaded by `prepare_binprm' with the executable's file header by overwriting it with its interpreter's file header. Instead keep the buffer space intact and directly use the data structure locally allocated for the interpreter's file header, fixing a bug introduced in 2.1.14 with loadable module support (linux-mips.org commit beb11695 [Import of Linux/MIPS 2.1.14], predating kernel.org repo's history). Adjust the amount of data read from the interpreter's file accordingly. This was not an issue before loadable module support, because back then `load_elf_binary' was executed only once for a given ELF executable, whether the function succeeded or failed. With loadable module support supported and enabled, upon a failure of `load_elf_binary' -- which may for example be caused by architecture code rejecting an executable due to a missing hardware feature requested in the file header -- a module load is attempted and then the function reexecuted by `search_binary_handler'. With the executable's file header replaced with its interpreter's file header the executable can then be erroneously accepted in this subsequent attempt.

Handle a write being requested to the page immediately beyond the EOF marker on a cache object. Currently this gets an assertion failure in CacheFiles because the EOF marker is used there to encode information about a partial page at the EOF - which could lead to an unknown blank spot in the file if we extend the file over it. The problem is actually in fscache where we check the index of the page being written against store_limit. store_limit is set to the number of pages that we're allowed to store by fscache_set_store_limit() - which means it's one more than the index of the last page we're allowed to store. The problem is that we permit writing to a page with an index _equal_ to the store limit - when we should reject that case. Whilst we're at it, change the triggered assertion in CacheFiles to just return -ENOBUFS instead. The assertion failure looks something like this: CacheFiles: Assertion failed 1000 < 7b1 is false ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/cachefiles/rdwr.c:962! ...

In debugfs' start_creating(), we pin the file system to safely access its root. When we failed to create a file, we unpin the file system via failed_creating() to release the mount count and eventually the reference of the vfsmount. However, when we run into an error during lookup_one_len() when still in start_creating(), we only release the parent's mutex but not so the reference on the mount. Looks like it was done in the past, but after splitting portions of __create_file() into start_creating() and end_creating() via 190afd81 ("debugfs: split the beginning and the end of __create_file() off"), this seemed missed.

d0edd852 ("ipc: convert invalid scenarios to use WARN_ON") relaxed the nil dst parameter check, originally being a full BUG_ON. However, this check seems quite unnecessary when the only purpose is for ceckpoint/restore (MSG_COPY flag): o The copy variable is set initially to nil, apparently as a way of ensuring that prepare_copy is previously called. Which is in fact done, unconditionally at the beginning of do_msgrcv. o There is no concurrency with 'copy' (stack allocated in do_msgrcv). Furthermore, any errors in 'copy' (and thus prepare_copy/copy_msg) should always handled by IS_ERR() family. Therefore remove this check altogether as it can never occur with the current users.

In some cases we may end up killing the CPU holding the console lock while still having valuable data in logbuf. E.g. I'm observing the following: - A crash is happening on one CPU and console_unlock() is being called on some other. - console_unlock() tries to print out the buffer before releasing the lock and on slow console it takes time. - in the meanwhile crashing CPU does lots of printk()-s with valuable data (which go to the logbuf) and sends IPIs to all other CPUs. - console_unlock() finishes printing previous chunk and enables interrupts before trying to print out the rest, the CPU catches the IPI and never releases console lock. This is not the only possible case: in VT/fb subsystems we have many other console_lock()/console_unlock() users. Non-masked interrupts (or receiving NMI in case of extreme slowness) will have the same result. Getting the whole console buffer printed out on crash should be top priority.

Many DMA controllers and other devices set max_segment_size to indicate their scatter-gather capability, but have no interest in segment_boundary_mask. However, the existence of a dma_parms structure precludes the use of any default value, leaving them as zeros (assuming a properly kzalloc'ed structure). If a well-behaved IOMMU (or SWIOTLB) then tries to respect this by ensuring a mapped segment does not cross a zero-byte boundary, hilarity ensues. Since zero is a nonsensical value for either parameter, treat it as an indicator for "default", as might be expected. In the process, clean up a bit by replacing the bare constants with slightly more meaningful macros and removing the superfluous "else" statements.

Since 5cec38ac ("fs, seq_file: fallback to vmalloc instead of oom kill processes") seq_buf_alloc() avoids calling the oom killer for PAGE_SIZE or smaller allocations; but larger allocations can use the oom killer via vmalloc(). Thus reads of small files can return ENOMEM, but larger files use the oom killer to avoid ENOMEM. The effect of this bug is that reads from /proc and other virtual filesystems can return ENOMEM instead of the preferred behavior - oom killing something (possibly the calling process). I don't know of anyone except Google who has noticed the issue. I suspect the fix is more needed in smaller systems where there isn't any reclaimable memory. But these seem like the kinds of systems which probably don't use the oom killer for production situations. Memory overcommit requires use of the oom killer to select a victim regardless of file size. Enable oom killer for small seq_buf_alloc() allocations.

task_will_free_mem() is wrong in many ways, and in particular the SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP check is not reliable: a task can participate in the coredumping without SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP bit set. change zap_threads() paths to always set SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP even if other CLONE_VM processes can't react to SIGKILL. Fortunately, at least oom-kill case if fine; it kills all tasks sharing the same mm, so it should also kill the process which actually dumps the core. The change in prepare_signal() is not strictly necessary, it just ensures that the patch does not bring another subtle behavioural change. But it reminds us that this SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/COREDUMP case needs more changes.

jffs2_garbage_collect_thread() does allow_signal(SIGCONT) for no reason, SIGCONT will wake a stopped task up even if it is ignored.

jffs2_garbage_collect_thread() can race with SIGCONT and sleep in TASK_STOPPED state after it was already sent. Add the new helper, kernel_signal_stop(), which does this correctly.

1. Rename dequeue_signal_lock() to kernel_dequeue_signal(). This matches another "for kthreads only" kernel_sigaction() helper. 2. Remove the "tsk" and "mask" arguments, they are always current and current->blocked. And it is simply wrong if tsk != current. 3. We could also remove the 3rd "siginfo_t *info" arg but it looks potentially useful. However we can simplify the callers if we change kernel_dequeue_signal() to accept info => NULL. 4. Remove _irqsave, it is never called from atomic context.
