fuse: avoid out-of-scope stack access

2013-02-04T14:22:23Z

The all pointers within fuse_req must point to valid memory once fuse_force_forget() returns. This bug appeared in "fuse: implement NFS-like readdirplus support" and was never in any official Linux release. I tested the fuse_force_forget() code path by injecting to fake -ENOMEM and verified the FORGET operation was called properly in userspace. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

fuse: use req->page_descs[] for argpages cases

2013-01-24T15:21:27Z

Previously, anyone who set flag 'argpages' only filled req->pages[] and set per-request page_offset. This patch re-works all cases where argpages=1 to fill req->page_descs[] properly. Having req->page_descs[] filled properly allows to re-work fuse_copy_pages() to copy page fragments described by req->page_descs[]. This will be useful for next patches optimizing direct_IO.

fuse: add per-page descriptor to fuse_req

2013-01-24T15:21:27Z

The ability to save page pointers along with lengths and offsets in fuse_req will be useful to cover several iovec-s with a single fuse_req. Per-request page_offset is removed because anybody who need it can use req->page_descs[0].offset instead. Signed-off-by: Maxim Patlasov Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

fuse: rework fuse_retrieve()

2013-01-24T15:21:26Z

The patch reworks fuse_retrieve() to allocate only so many page pointers as needed. The core part of the patch is the following calculation: num_pages = (num + offset + PAGE_SIZE - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT; (thanks Miklos for formula). All other changes are mostly shuffling lines.

fuse: categorize fuse_get_req()

2013-01-24T15:21:25Z

The patch categorizes all fuse_get_req() invocations into two categories: - fuse_get_req_nopages(fc) - when caller doesn't care about req->pages - fuse_get_req(fc, n) - when caller need n page pointers (n > 0) Adding fuse_get_req_nopages() helps to avoid numerous fuse_get_req(fc, 0) scattered over code. Now it's clear from the first glance when a caller need fuse_req with page pointers. The patch doesn't make any logic changes. In multi-page case, it silly allocates array of FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ page pointers. This will be amended by future patches. Signed-off-by: Maxim Patlasov Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

fuse: general infrastructure for pages[] of variable size

2013-01-24T15:21:25Z

The patch removes inline array of FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ page pointers from fuse_req. Instead of that, req->pages may now point either to small inline array or to an array allocated dynamically. This essentially means that all callers of fuse_request_alloc[_nofs] should pass the number of pages needed explicitly. The patch doesn't make any logic changes.

fuse: implement NFS-like readdirplus support

2013-01-24T15:21:25Z

This patch implements readdirplus support in FUSE, similar to NFS. The payload returned in the readdirplus call contains 'fuse_entry_out' structure thereby providing all the necessary inputs for 'faking' a lookup() operation on the spot. If the dentry and inode already existed (for e.g. in a re-run of ls -l) then just the inode attributes timeout and dentry timeout are refreshed. With a simple client->network->server implementation of a FUSE based filesystem, the following performance observations were made: Test: Performing a filesystem crawl over 20,000 files with sh# time ls -lR /mnt Without readdirplus: Run 1: 18.1s Run 2: 16.0s Run 3: 16.2s With readdirplus: Run 1: 4.1s Run 2: 3.8s Run 3: 3.8s The performance improvement is significant as it avoided 20,000 upcalls calls (lookup). Cache consistency is no worse than what already is. Signed-off-by: Anand V. Avati Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

fuse: remove unused variable in fuse_try_move_page()

2013-01-17T12:09:59Z

The variables mapping,index are initialized but never used otherwise, so remove the unused variables. dpatch engine is used to auto generate this patch. (https://github.com/weiyj/dpatch) Signed-off-by: Wei Yongjun Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

userns: Support fuse interacting with multiple user namespaces

2012-11-15T06:05:33Z

Use kuid_t and kgid_t in struct fuse_conn and struct fuse_mount_data. The connection between between a fuse filesystem and a fuse daemon is established when a fuse filesystem is mounted and provided with a file descriptor the fuse daemon created by opening /dev/fuse. For now restrict the communication of uids and gids between the fuse filesystem and the fuse daemon to the initial user namespace. Enforce this by verifying the file descriptor passed to the mount of fuse was opened in the initial user namespace. Ensuring the mount happens in the initial user namespace is not necessary as mounts from non-initial user namespaces are not yet allowed. In fuse_req_init_context convert the currrent fsuid and fsgid into the initial user namespace for the request that will be sent to the fuse daemon. In fuse_fill_attr convert the uid and gid passed from the fuse daemon from the initial user namespace into kuids and kgids. In iattr_to_fattr called from fuse_setattr convert kuids and kgids into the uids and gids in the initial user namespace before passing them to the fuse filesystem. In fuse_change_attributes_common called from fuse_dentry_revalidate, fuse_permission, fuse_geattr, and fuse_setattr, and fuse_iget convert the uid and gid from the fuse daemon into a kuid and a kgid to store on the fuse inode. By default fuse mounts are restricted to task whose uid, suid, and euid matches the fuse user_id and whose gid, sgid, and egid matches the fuse group id. Convert the user_id and group_id mount options into kuids and kgids at mount time, and use uid_eq and gid_eq to compare the in fuse_allow_task.
