* [PATCH] namei fixes (6/19)Al Viro2005-06-061-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mntget(path->mnt) in do_follow_link() moved down to right before the __do_follow_link() call and rigth after loop: resp. dput()+mntput() on non-ELOOP branch moved up to right after __do_follow_link() call. resulting loop: mntget(path->mnt); path_release(nd); dput(path->mnt); mntput(path->mnt); replaced with equivalent dput(path->mnt); path_release(nd); Equivalent transformations - the reason why we have that mntget() is that __do_follow_link() can drop a reference to nd->mnt and that's what holds path->mnt. So that call can happen at any point prior to __do_follow_link() touching nd->mnt. The rest is obvious. NOTE: current tree relies on symlinks *never* being mounted on anything. It's not hard to get rid of that assumption (actually, that will come for free later in the series). For now we are just not making the situation worse than it is.

* [PATCH] namei fixes (5/19)Al Viro2005-06-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | fix for too early mntput() in open_namei() - we pin path.mnt down for the duration of __do_follow_link(). Otherwise we could get the fs where our symlink lived unmounted while we were in __do_follow_link(). That would end up with dentry of symlink staying pinned down through the fs shutdown.

* [PATCH] namei fixes (4/19)Al Viro2005-06-061-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | path.mnt in open_namei() set to mirror nd->mnt. nd->mnt is set in 3 places in that function - path_lookup() in the beginning, __follow_down() loop after do_last: and __do_follow_link() call after do_link:. We set path.mnt to nd->mnt after path_lookup() and __do_follow_link(). In __follow_down() loop we use &path.mnt instead of &nd->mnt and set nd->mnt to path.mnt immediately after that loop. Obviously equivalent transformation. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] namei fixes (3/19)Al Viro2005-06-061-19/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | Replaced struct dentry *dentry in namei with struct path path. All uses of dentry replaced with path.dentry there. Obviously equivalent transformation.

* [PATCH] namei fixes (2/19)Al Viro2005-06-061-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | All callers of do_follow_link() do mntget() right before it and dput()+mntput() right after. These calls are moved inside do_follow_link() now.

* [PATCH] namei fixesAl Viro2005-06-061-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | OK, here comes a patch series that hopefully should close all too-early-mntput() races in fs/namei.c. Entire area is convoluted as hell, so I'm splitting that series into _very_ small chunks. Patches alread in the tree close only (very wide) races in following symlinks (see "busy inodes after umount" thread some time ago). Unfortunately, quite a few narrower races of the same nature were not closed. Hopefully this should take care of all of them.

* [AF_UNIX]: Use lookup_create().Christoph Hellwig2005-05-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | currently it opencodes it, but that's in the way of chaning the lookup_hash interface. I'd prefer to disallow modular af_unix over exporting lookup_create, but I'll leave that to you. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* namei: add audit_inode to all branches in path_lookupPrasanna Meda2005-04-291-8/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Main change is in path_lookup: added a goto to do audit_inode instead of return statement, when emul_lookup_dentry for root is successful.The existing code does audit_inode only when lookup is done in normal root or cwd. Other changes: Some lookup routines are returning zero on success, and some are returning zero on failure. I documented the related function signatures in this code path, so that one can glance over abstract functions without understanding the entire code.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
