This fixes kernel http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11112 (bogus RTC update IRQs reported) for rtc-cmos, in two ways: - When HPET is stealing the IRQs, use the first IRQ to grab the seconds counter which will be monitored (instead of using whatever was previously in that memory); - In sane IRQ handling modes, scrub out old IRQ status before enabling IRQs. That latter is done by tightening up IRQ handling for rtc-cmos everywhere, also ensuring that when HPET is used it's the only thing triggering IRQ reports to userspace; net object shrink. Also fix a bogus HPET message related to its RTC emulation.

It also removes nonfunctional periodic IRQ support from this driver; only update IRQs are reported, or provided by the hardware. I suspect some other RTCs probably have versions of #11112; it's easy to overlook, since most non-RTC drivers don't care about spurious IRQs: they're not reported to userspace.

Resolve http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11051 and other bugs related to the way the HPET glue code in rtc-cmos was incomplete and inconsistent: * Switch the approach so that the basic driver code flow isn't changed by having HPET ... instead, just have HPET shadow the RTC_CONTROL irq enables and RTC_FREQ_SELECT data. It's only coping with IRQ thievery, after all. * Do that consistently (!!) to avoid problems when the HPET code is out of sync with the real RTC intent. Examples include: - cmos_procfs(), which now reports correct data - cmos_irq_set_state() ... also removing the previous PIE_{ON,OFF} ioctl support so only one code path manages "periodic" IRQs - cmos_do_shutdown() ... currently a "just in case" change. - cmos_suspend() and cmos_resume() ... also handling a bug that was specific to HPET's IRQ thievery, where the alarm wasn't disabled after waking the system * Always call that HPET code under the RTC spinlock (it doesn't do its own locking) Also clean up the HPET glue: * Add some comments explaining what's going on. * Switch to having just one #ifdef for the HPET glue, and inline functions (not #defines) to avoid some compiler warnings. * Have the probe message also report when HPET IRQs are involved This still leaves various holes in the HPET glue, like the emulated update IRQs being out of sync with the RTC, alarms never using day or month matches, and many extra IRQs (at 64 Hz).

This updates <linux/bcd.h> to define the key routines as constant functions, which the macros will then call. Newer code can now call bcd2bin() instead of SCREAMING BCD2BIN() TO THE FOUR WINDS. This lets each driver shrink their codespace by using N function calls to a single (global) copy of those routines, instead of N inlined copies of these functions per driver. These routines aren't used in speed-critical code. Almost all callers are in the RTC framework. Typical per-driver savings is near 300 bytes.

Remove implicit use of BKL in ioctl() from the RTC framework. Instead, the rtc->ops_lock is used. That's the same lock that already protects the RTC operations when they're issued through the exported rtc_*() calls in drivers/rtc/interface.c ... making this a bugfix, not just a cleanup, since both ioctl calls and set_alarm() need to update IRQ enable flags and that implies a common lock (which RTC drivers as a rule do not provide on their own). A new comment at the declaration of "struct rtc_class_ops" summarizes current locking rules. It's not clear to me that the exceptions listed there should exist ... if not, those are pre-existing problems which can be fixed in a patch that doesn't relate to BKL removal.

For direct and offset type mounts that are covered by another mount we cannot check the AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING flag during a path walk which leads to lookups walking into an expiring mount while it is being expired. For example, for the direct multi-mount map entry with a couple of offsets: /race/mm1 / <server1>:/<path1> /om1 <server2>:/<path2> /om2 <server1>:/<path3> an autofs trigger mount is mounted on /race/mm1 and when accessed it is over mounted and trigger mounts made for /race/mm1/om1 and /race/mm1/om2. So it isn't possible for path walks to see the expiring flag at all and they happily walk into the file system while it is expiring. When expiring these mounts follow_down() must stop at the autofs mount and all processes must block in the ->follow_link() method (except the daemon) until the expire is complete. This is done by decrementing the d_mounted field of the autofs trigger mount root dentry until the expire is completed. In ->follow_link() all processes wait on the expire and the mount following is completed for the daemon until the expire is complete.

The selection of a dentry for expiration and the setting of the AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING flag isn't done atomically which can lead to lookups walking into an expiring mount. What happens is that an expire is initiated by the daemon and a dentry is selected for expire but, since there is no lock held between the selection and setting of the expiring flag, a process may find the flag clear and continue walking into the mount tree at the same time the daemon attempts the expire it.

There are two cases for which a dentry that has a pending mount request does not wait for completion. One is via autofs4_revalidate() and the other via autofs4_follow_link(). In revalidate, after the mount point directory is created, but before the mount is done, the check in try_to_fill_dentry() can can fail to send the dentry to the wait queue since the dentry is positive and the lookup flags may contain only LOOKUP_FOLLOW. Although we don't trigger a mount for the LOOKUP_FOLLOW flag, if ther's one pending we might as well wait and use the mounted dentry for the lookup. In autofs4_follow_link() the dentry is not checked to see if it is pending so it may fail to call try_to_fill_dentry() and not wait for mount completion. A dentry that is pending must always be sent to the wait queue.

We have been seeing mount requests comming to the automount daemon for keys of the form "<map key>/<non key directory>" which are lookups for invalid map keys. But we can check for this in the kernel module and return a fail immediately, without having to send a request to the daemon. It is possible to recognise these requests are invalid based on whether the request dentry is negative and its relation to the autofs file system root. For example, given the indirect multi-mount map entry: idm1 \ /mm1 <server>:/<path1> /mm2 <server>:/<path2> For a request to mount idm1, IS_ROOT((idm1)->d_parent) will be always be true and the dentry may be negative. But directories idm1/mm1 and idm1/mm2 will always be created as part of the mount request for idm1. So any mount request within idm1 itself must have a positive dentry otherwise the map key is invalid. In version 4 these multi-mount entries are all mounted and umounted as a single request and in version 5 the directories idm1/mm1 and idm1/mm2 are created and an autofs fs mounted on them to act as a mount trigger so the above is also true. This also holds true for the autofs version 4 pseudo direct mount feature. When this feature is used without the "--ghost" option automount(8) will create internal submounts as we go down the map key paths which are essentially normal indirect mounts for which the above holds. If the "--ghost" option is given the directories for map keys are created at daemon startup so valid map entries correspond to postive dentries in the autofs fs. autofs version 5 direct mount maps are similar except that the IS_ROOT check is not needed. This has been addressed in a previous patch tittled "autofs4 - detect invalid direct mount requests". For example, given the direct multi-mount map entry: /test/dm1 \ /mm1 <server>:/<path1> /mm2 <server>:/<path2> An autofs fs is mounted on /test/dm1 as a trigger mount and when a mount is triggered for /test/dm1, the multi-mount offset directories /test/dm1/mm1 and /test/dm1/mm2 are created and an autofs fs is mounted on them to act as mount triggers. So valid direct mount requests must always have a positive dentry if they correspond to a valid map entry.

If an autofs mount becomes catatonic before autofs4_wait_release() is called the wait queue counter will not be decremented down to zero and the entry will never be freed. There are also races decrementing the wait counter in the wait release function. To deal with this the counter needs to be updated while holding the wait queue mutex and waiters need to be woken up unconditionally when the wait is removed from the queue to ensure we eventually free the wait.

Close a race between a pending mount that is about to finish and a new lookup for the same directory. Process P1 triggers a mount of directory foo. It sets DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING in the ->lookup routine, creates a waitq entry for 'foo', and calls out to the daemon to perform the mount. The autofs daemon will then create the directory 'foo', using a new dentry that will be hashed in the dcache. Before the mount completes, another process, P2, tries to walk into the 'foo' directory. The vfs path walking code finds an entry for 'foo' and calls the revalidate method. Revalidate finds that the entry is not PENDING (because PENDING was never set on the dentry created by the mkdir), but it does find the directory is empty. Revalidate calls try_to_fill_dentry, which sets the PENDING flag and then calls into the autofs4 wait code to trigger or wait for a mount of 'foo'. The wait code finds the entry for 'foo' and goes to sleep waiting for the completion of the mount. Yet another process, P3, tries to walk into the 'foo' directory. This process again finds a dentry in the dcache for 'foo', and calls into the autofs revalidate code. The revalidate code finds that the PENDING flag is set, and so calls try_to_fill_dentry. a) try_to_fill_dentry sets the PENDING flag redundantly for this dentry, then calls into the autofs4 wait code. b) the autofs4 wait code takes the waitq mutex and searches for an entry for 'foo' Between a and b, P1 is woken up because the mount completed. P1 takes the wait queue mutex, clears the PENDING flag from the dentry, and removes the waitqueue entry for 'foo' from the list. When it releases the waitq mutex, P3 (eventually) acquires it. At this time, it looks for an existing waitq for 'foo', finds none, and so creates a new one and calls out to the daemon to mount the 'foo' directory. Now, the reason that three processes are required to trigger this race is that, because the PENDING flag is not set on the dentry created by mkdir, the window for the race would be way to slim for it to ever occur. Basically, between the testing of d_mountpoint(dentry) and the taking of the waitq mutex, the mount would have to complete and the daemon would have to be woken up, and that in turn would have to wake up P1. This is simply impossible. Add the third process, though, and it becomes slightly more likely.

When an open(2) call is made on an autofs mount point directory that already exists and the O_DIRECTORY flag is not used the needed mount callback to the daemon is not done. This leads to the path walk continuing resulting in a callback to the daemon with an incorrect key. open(2) is called without O_DIRECTORY by the "find" utility but this should be handled properly anyway. This happens because autofs needs to use the lookup flags to decide when to callback to the daemon to perform a mount to prevent mount storms. For example, an autofs indirect mount map that has the "browse" option will have the mount point directories are pre-created and the stat(2) call made by a color ls against each directory will cause all these directories to be mounted. It is unfortunate we need to resort to this but mount maps can be quite large. Additionally, if a user manually umounts an autofs indirect mount the directory isn't removed which also leads to this situation. To resolve this autofs needs to use the lookup intent flags to enable it to make this decision. This patch adds this check and triggers a call back if any of the lookup intent flags are set as all these calls warrant a mount attempt be requested. I know that external VFS code which uses the lookup flags is something that the VFS would like to eliminate but I have no choice as I can't see any other way to do this. A VFS dentry or inode operation callback which returns the lookup "type" (requires a definition) would be sufficient. But this change is needed now and I'm not aware of the form that coming VFS changes will take so I'm not willing to propose anything along these lines. If anyone can provide an alternate method I would be happy to use it.

Since we now delay hashing of dentrys until the ->mkdir() call, droping and re-taking the directory mutex within the ->lookup() function when we are being called by user space is not needed. This can lead to a race when other processes are attempting to access the same directory during mount point directory creation. In this case we need to hang onto the mutex to ensure we don't get user processes trying to create a mount request for a newly created dentry after the mount point entry has already been created. This ensures that when we need to check a dentry passed to autofs4_wait(), if it is hashed, it is always the mount point dentry and not a new dentry created by another lookup during directory creation.

A while ago a patch to resolve a deadlock during directory creation was merged. This delayed the hashing of lookup dentrys until the ->mkdir() (or ->symlink()) operation completed to ensure we always went through ->lookup() instead of also having processes go through ->revalidate() so our VFS locking remained consistent. Now we are seeing a couple of side affects of that change in situations with heavy mount activity. Two cases have been identified: 1) When a mount request is triggered, due to the delayed hashing, the directory created by user space for the mount point doesn't have the DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING flag set. In the case of an autofs multi-mount where a tree of mount point directories are created this can lead to the path walk continuing rather than the dentry being sent to the wait queue to wait for request completion. This is because, if the pending flag isn't set, the criteria for deciding this is a mount in progress fails to hold, namely that the dentry is not a mount point and has no subdirectories. 2) A mount request dentry is initially created negative and unhashed. It remains this way until the ->mkdir() callback completes. Since it is unhashed a fresh dentry is used when the user space mount request creates the mount point directory. This leaves the original dentry negative and unhashed. But revalidate has no way to tell the VFS that the dentry has changed, other than to force another ->lookup() by returning false, which is at best wastefull and at worst not possible. This results in an -ENOENT return from the original path walk when in fact the mount succeeded. To resolve this we need to ensure that the same dentry is used in all calls to ->lookup() during the course of a mount request. This patch achieves that by adding the initial dentry to a look aside list and removes it at ->mkdir() or ->symlink() completion (or when the dentry is released), since these are the only create operations autofs4 supports.

This patch series enables the use of a single dentry for lookups prior to the dentry being hashed and so we no longer need to redo the lookup. This patch reverts the patch of commit 03379044.

Correct the error of making a positive dentry negative after it has been instantiated. The code that makes this error attempts to re-use the dentry from a concurrent expire and mount to resolve a race and the dentry used for the lookup must be negative for mounts to trigger in the required cases. The fact is that the dentry doesn't need to be re-used because all that is needed is to preserve the flag that indicates an expire is still incomplete at the time of the mount request. This change uses the the dentry to check the flag and wait for the expire to complete then discards it instead of attempting to re-use it.

There is no good reason to immediately open the lower file, and that can cause problems with files that the user does not intend to immediately open, such as device nodes. This patch removes the persistent file open from the interpose step and pushes that to the locations where eCryptfs really does need the lower persistent file, such as just before reading or writing the metadata stored in the lower file header. Two functions are jumping to out_dput when they should just be jumping to out on error paths. This patch also fixes these.

When creating device nodes, eCryptfs needs to delay actually opening the lower persistent file until an application tries to open. Device handles may not be backed by anything when they first come into existence.
