Jens Axboe 03ba3782e8 writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data
This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning.
pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more
threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a
non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy
behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved
for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that
does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive
during the benchmark phase. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in
vmstat:

A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing. A
SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with
the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only
manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so. Random buffered
writes to many files behave a lot better as well, as does random mmap'ed
writes.

A separate thread is added to sync the super blocks. In the long term,
adding sync_supers_bdi() functionality could get rid of this thread again.

Jens Axboe 66f3b8e2e1 writeback: move dirty inodes from super_block to backing_dev_info
This is a first step at introducing per-bdi flusher threads. We should
have no change in behaviour, although sb_has_dirty_inodes() is now
ridiculously expensive, as there's no easy way to answer that question.
Not a huge problem, since it'll be deleted in subsequent patches.

This adds two new exported functions:

- writeback_inodes_sb(), which only attempts to writeback dirty inodes on
  this super_block, for WB_SYNC_NONE writeout.
- sync_inodes_sb(), which writes out all dirty inodes on this super_block
  and also waits for the IO to complete.

David P. Quigley 1ee65e37e9 LSM/SELinux: inode_{get,set,notify}secctx hooks to access LSM security context information.
This patch introduces three new hooks. The inode_getsecctx hook is used to get
all relevant information from an LSM about an inode. The inode_setsecctx is
used to set both the in-core and on-disk state for the inode based on a context
derived from inode_getsecctx.The final hook inode_notifysecctx will notify the
LSM of a change for the in-core state of the inode in question. These hooks are
for use in the labeled NFS code and addresses concerns of how to set security
on an inode in a multi-xattr LSM. For historical reasons Stephen Smalley's
explanation of the reason for these hooks is pasted below.

Quote Stephen Smalley

inode_setsecctx:  Change the security context of an inode.  Updates the
in core security context managed by the security module and invokes the
fs code as needed (via __vfs_setxattr_noperm) to update any backing
xattrs that represent the context.  Example usage:  NFS server invokes
this hook to change the security context in its incore inode and on the
backing file system to a value provided by the client on a SETATTR
operation.

inode_notifysecctx:  Notify the security module of what the security
context of an inode should be.  Initializes the incore security context
managed by the security module for this inode.  Example usage:  NFS
client invokes this hook to initialize the security context in its
incore inode to the value provided by the server for the file when the
server returned the file's attributes to the client.

David P. Quigley b1ab7e4b2a VFS: Factor out part of vfs_setxattr so it can be called from the SELinux hook for inode_setsecctx.
This factors out the part of the vfs_setxattr function that performs the
setting of the xattr and its notification. This is needed so the SELinux
implementation of inode_setsecctx can handle the setting of the xattr while
maintaining the proper separation of layers.

Linus Torvalds 5909ccaa30 Make 'check_acl()' a first-class filesystem op
This is stage one in flattening out the callchains for the common
permission testing.  Rather than have most filesystem implement their
own inode->i_op->permission function that just calls back down to the
VFS layers 'generic_permission()' with the per-filesystem ACL checking
function, the filesystem can just expose its 'check_acl' function
directly, and let the VFS layer do everything for it.

This is all just preparatory - no filesystem actually enables this yet.

Oleg Nesterov a2a8474c3f exec: do not sleep in TASK_TRACED under ->cred_guard_mutex
Tom Horsley reports that his debugger hangs when it tries to read
/proc/pid_of_tracee/maps, this happens since

	"mm_for_maps: take ->cred_guard_mutex to fix the race with exec"
	04b836cbf19e885f8366bccb2e4b0474346c02d

commit in 2.6.31.

But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls
tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC.

The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex.  Even if we
remove ->cred_guard_mutex from mm_for_maps() and proc_pid_attr_write(),
another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the
tracee resumes.

With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and
we do not hold it throughout, instead:

	- introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex
	  and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred.

	- install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(),
	  and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop().

	  or, if exec fails,

	  free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which
	  indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.

Oleg Nesterov 4e49627b9b workqueues: introduce __cancel_delayed_work()
cancel_delayed_work() has to use del_timer_sync() to guarantee the timer
function is not running after return.  But most users doesn't actually
need this, and del_timer_sync() has problems: it is not useable from
interrupt, and it depends on every lock which could be taken from irq.

Introduce __cancel_delayed_work() which calls del_timer() instead.

The immediate reason for this patch is
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13757
but hopefully this helper makes sense anyway.

As for 13757 bug, actually we need requeue_delayed_work(), but its
semantics are not yet clear.

Merge this patch early to resolves cross-tree interdependencies between
input and infiniband.

Jonathan Brassow 7ec23d5094 dm log: userspace add luid to distinguish between concurrent log instances
Device-mapper userspace logs (like the clustered log) are
identified by a universally unique identifier (UUID).  This
identifier is used to associate requests from the kernel to
a specific log in userspace.  The UUID must be unique everywhere,
since multiple machines may use this identifier when communicating
about a particular log, as is the case for cluster logs.

Sometimes, device-mapper/LVM may re-use a UUID.  This is the
case during pvmoves, when moving from one segment of an LV
to another, or when resizing a mirror, etc.  In these cases,
a new log is created with the same UUID and loaded in the
"inactive" slot.  When a device-mapper "resume" is issued,
the "live" table is deactivated and the new "inactive" table
becomes "live".  (The "inactive" table can also be removed
via a device-mapper 'clear' command.)

The above two issues were colliding.  More than one log was being
created with the same UUID, and there was no way to distinguish
between them.  So, sometimes the wrong log would be swapped
out during the exchange.

The solution is to create a locally unique identifier,
'luid', to go along with the UUID.  This new identifier is used
to determine exactly which log is being referenced by the kernel
when the log exchange is made.  The identifier is not
universally safe, but it does not need to be, since
create/destroy/suspend/resume operations are bound to a specific
machine; and these are the operations that make up the exchange.

David Howells ee18d64c1f KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6]
Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent.  This
replaces the parent's session keyring.  Because the COW credential code does
not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again.  Normally this
will be after a wait*() syscall.

To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
the process may replace its parent's session keyring.

The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.

Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.  This allows the
replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
execution.

This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
alter the parent process's PAG membership.  However, since kAFS doesn't use
PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
the newpag flag.

This can be tested with the following program:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <keyutils.h>

	#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT	18

	#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		key_serial_t keyring, key;
		long ret;

		keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
		OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");

		key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
		OSERROR(key, "add_key");

		ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
		OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");

		return 0;
	}

Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:

	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	355907932 --alswrv   4043    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.4043
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	1055658746 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: hello
	340417692 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a

Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

David Howells 5d135440fa KEYS: Add garbage collection for dead, revoked and expired keys. [try #6]
Add garbage collection for dead, revoked and expired keys.  This involved
erasing all links to such keys from keyrings that point to them.  At that
point, the key will be deleted in the normal manner.

Keyrings from which garbage collection occurs are shrunk and their quota
consumption reduced as appropriate.

Dead keys (for which the key type has been removed) will be garbage collected
immediately.

Revoked and expired keys will hang around for a number of seconds, as set in
/proc/sys/kernel/keys/gc_delay before being automatically removed.  The default
is 5 minutes.

David Howells e0e817392b CRED: Add some configurable debugging [try #6]
Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking
for credential management.  The additional code keeps track of the number of
pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that
this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes
all references, not just those from task_structs).

Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security
pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid.

This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd
kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the
credential struct has been previously released):

Paul Moore 2b980dbd77 lsm: Add hooks to the TUN driver
The TUN driver lacks any LSM hooks which makes it difficult for LSM modules,
such as SELinux, to enforce access controls on network traffic generated by
TUN users; this is particularly problematic for virtualization apps such as
QEMU and KVM.  This patch adds three new LSM hooks designed to control the
creation and attachment of TUN devices, the hooks are:

 * security_tun_dev_create()
   Provides access control for the creation of new TUN devices

 * security_tun_dev_post_create()
   Provides the ability to create the necessary socket LSM state for newly
   created TUN devices

 * security_tun_dev_attach()
   Provides access control for attaching to existing, persistent TUN devices
   and the ability to update the TUN device's socket LSM state as necessary
