[Ocfs2-devel] Invalid file rights

[Chen, Yukun]

Yeah. You are right.

I take it for granted that a file will be granted some default rights =
for its owner, such as read/write, when it is created with =
open(...,...|O_CREAT) .
I traced the source code of ocfs2 and found the kernel return a mode =
8000 really that means nobody can access the file. Also, I checked it =
with ext3 filesystem and got the same results.

So, I think it is nature and it is not a bug yet.
Thanx.

Right, and we get the mode from the kernel for this, right? Is there =
some
policy which we're missing? In ocfs_mknod_locked we do "fe->i_mode =3D =
mode;"
so it's definitely being set on disk. later on we also do "inode->i_mode =
=3D
mode;".

Well, that'd be because:

[mfasheh@expo ocfs2]$ strace touch file
<snip>
open("file", O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) =3D =
3
<snip>

So that's "touch" setting the mode there.

So the "touch" case is obvious, but I'm not sure that the 1st one is a =
bug
either... If it is, please explain why.

Yeah I think this is why libc provides...
       int open(const char *pathname, int flags);
       int open(const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode);

That "overloaded" open with the mode is only used for the O_CREAT case. 

Thanks!

[Ocfs2-devel] Invalid file rights

[Chen, Yukun]

Hi All

I find a file rights bug on kernel 2.4 with svn 1313 code. Steps to
duplicate

Being root, create a file in a ocfs2 partition with the sentence below

 open(filename, O_CREAT | O_RDWR )

Then the file will be created with a right 000 --- nobody can write/read
it at 

all. 

But, if I use "touch filename" , the file will be created with a right
of 644.

Any ideas on it? (a bug # 113 has been reported to oss.oracle.com
bugzilla)

Thanx.

Right, and we get the mode from the kernel for this, right? Is there some
policy which we're missing? In ocfs_mknod_locked we do "fe->i_mode = mode;"
