fuse: add fuse_ prefix to several functions

2008-11-26T11:03:55+00:00

Add fuse_ prefix to request_send*() and get_root_inode() as some of those functions will be exported for CUSE. With or without CUSE export, having the function names scoped is a good idea for debuggability. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

fuse: add file kernel handle

2008-11-26T11:03:55+00:00

The file handle, fuse_file->fh, is opaque value supplied by userland FUSE server and uniqueness is not guaranteed. Add file kernel handle, fuse_file->kh, which is allocated by the kernel on file allocation and guaranteed to be unique. This will be used by poll to match notification to the respective file but can be used for other purposes where unique file handle is necessary.

fuse: style fixes

2008-11-26T11:03:54+00:00

Fix coding style errors reported by checkpatch and others. Uptdate copyright date to 2008. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

CRED: Use RCU to access another task's creds and to release a task's own creds

2008-11-13T23:39:19+00:00

Use RCU to access another task's creds and to release a task's own creds. This means that it will be possible for the credentials of a task to be replaced without another task (a) requiring a full lock to read them, and (b) seeing deallocated memory.

CRED: Separate task security context from task_struct

2008-11-13T23:39:16+00:00

Separate the task security context from task_struct. At this point, the security data is temporarily embedded in the task_struct with two pointers pointing to it. Note that the Alpha arch is altered as it refers to (E)UID and (E)GID in entry.S via asm-offsets.

[PATCH] fix MAY_CHDIR/MAY_ACCESS/LOOKUP_ACCESS mess

2008-07-27T00:53:21+00:00

* MAY_CHDIR is redundant - it's an equivalent of MAY_ACCESS * MAY_ACCESS on fuse should affect only the last step of pathname resolution * fchdir() and chroot() should pass MAY_ACCESS, for the same reason why chdir() needs that. * now that we pass MAY_ACCESS explicitly in all cases, LOOKUP_ACCESS can be removed; it has no business being in nameidata. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

[PATCH] sanitize ->permission() prototype

2008-07-27T00:53:14+00:00

* kill nameidata * argument; map the 3 bits in ->flags anybody cares about to new MAY_... ones and pass with the mask. * kill redundant gfs2_iop_permission() * sanitize ecryptfs_permission() * fix remaining places where ->permission() instances might barf on new MAY_... found in mask. The obvious next target in that direction is permission(9) folded fix for nfs_permission() breakage from Miklos Szeredi Signed-off-by: Al Viro

fuse: add fuse_lookup_name() helper

2008-07-25T17:53:48+00:00

Add a new helper function which sends a LOOKUP request with the supplied name. This will be used by the next patch to send special LOOKUP requests with "." and ".." as the name. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Cc: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

fuse: add export operations

2008-07-25T17:53:48+00:00

Implement export_operations, to allow fuse filesystems to be exported to NFS. This feature has been in the out-of-tree fuse module, and is widely used and tested. It has not been originally merged into mainline, because doing the NFS export in userspace was thought to be a cleaner and more efficient way of doing it, than through the kernel. While that is true, it would also have involved a lot of duplicated effort at reimplementing NFS exporting (all the different versions of the protocol). This effort was unfortunately not undertaken by anyone, so we are left with doing it the easy but less efficient way. If this feature goes in, the out-of-tree fuse module can go away, which would have several advantages: - not having to maintain two versions - less confusion for users - no bugs due to kernel API changes Comment from hch: - Use the same fh_type values as XFS, since we use the same fh encoding.
