2009-12-17VFS/fsstack: handle 32-bit smp + preempt + large files in ↵Erez Zadok
fsstack_copy_inode_size Copy the inode size and blocks from one inode to another correctly on 32-bit systems with CONFIG_SMP, CONFIG_PREEMPT, or CONFIG_LBDAF. Use proper inode spinlocks only when i_size/i_blocks cannot fit in one 32-bit word.

2009-12-17fsstack/ecryptfs: remove unused get_nlinks param to fsstack_copy_attr_allErez Zadok
This get_nlinks parameter was never used by the only mainline user, ecryptfs; and it has never been used by unionfs or wrapfs either.

2007-02-19[PATCH] fs/stack.c: Copy i_nlink after all other attributes are copiedErez Zadok
A user-specified get_nlinks may depend on other inode attributes. Cc: Michael Halcrow <mhalcrow@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Erez Zadok <ezk@cs.sunysb.edu> Signed-off-by: Josef 'Jeff' Sipek <jsipek@cs.sunysb.edu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2006-12-22[PATCH] fsstack: Remove inode copyMichael Halcrow
Trevor found a file size problem in eCryptfs in recent kernels, and he tracked it down to an fsstack change. This was the eCryptfs copy_attr_all: > -void ecryptfs_copy_attr_all(struct inode *dest, const struct inode *src) > -{ > - dest->i_mode = src->i_mode; > - dest->i_nlink = src->i_nlink; > - dest->i_uid = src->i_uid; > - dest->i_gid = src->i_gid; > - dest->i_rdev = src->i_rdev; > - dest->i_atime = src->i_atime; > - dest->i_mtime = src->i_mtime; > - dest->i_ctime = src->i_ctime; > - dest->i_blkbits = src->i_blkbits; > - dest->i_flags = src->i_flags; > -} This is the fsstack copy_attr_all: > +void fsstack_copy_attr_all(struct inode *dest, const struct inode *src, > + int (*get_nlinks)(struct inode *)) > +{ > + if (!get_nlinks) > + dest->i_nlink = src->i_nlink; > + else > + dest->i_nlink = (*get_nlinks)(dest); > + > + dest->i_mode = src->i_mode; > + dest->i_uid = src->i_uid; > + dest->i_gid = src->i_gid; > + dest->i_rdev = src->i_rdev; > + dest->i_atime = src->i_atime; > + dest->i_mtime = src->i_mtime; > + dest->i_ctime = src->i_ctime; > + dest->i_blkbits = src->i_blkbits; > + dest->i_flags = src->i_flags; > + > + fsstack_copy_inode_size(dest, src); > +} The addition of copy_inode_size breaks eCryptfs, since eCryptfs needs to interpolate the file sizes (eCryptfs has extra space in the lower file for the header). The setting of the upper inode size occurs elsewhere in eCryptfs, and the new copy_attr_all now undoes what eCryptfs was doing right beforehand. I see three ways of going forward from here. (1) Something like this patch needs to go in (assuming it jives with Unionfs), (2) we need to make a change to the fsstack API for more fine-grained control over copying attributes (e.g., by also including a callback function for calculating the right file size, which will require some more work on both eCryptfs and Unionfs), or (3) the fsstack patch on eCryptfs (commit 0cc72dc7f050188d8d7344b1dd688cbc68d3cd30 made on Fri Dec 8 02:36:31 2006 -0800) needs to be yanked in 2.6.20. I think the simplest solution, from eCryptfs' perspective, is to just remove the inode size copy. Remove inode size copy in general fsstack attr copy code. Stacked filesystems may need to interpolate the inode size, since the file size in the lower file may be different than the file size in the stacked layer.

2006-12-08[PATCH] fsstack: Introduce fsstack_copy_{attr,inode}_*Josef "Jeff" Sipek
Introduce several fsstack_copy_* functions which allow stackable filesystems (such as eCryptfs and Unionfs) to easily copy over (currently only) inode attributes. This prevents code duplication and allows for code reuse.
