[PATCH 0/2] new truncate sequence, part3

[PATCH 0/2] new truncate sequence, part3

[Christoph Hellwig]

Make sure we do the truncate checks earlier on, as pointed out by Dmitry
Monakhov.

[PATCH 1/2] always call inode_change_ok early in ->setattr

[Christoph Hellwig]

Make sure we call inode_change_ok before doing any changes in ->setattr,
and make sure to call it even if our fs wants to ignore normal UNIX
permissions, but use the ATTR_FORCE to skip those.

[PATCH 2/2] check ATTR_SIZE contraints in inode_change_ok

[Christoph Hellwig]

Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding
those checks to inode_change_ok.  Also clean up and document inode_change_ok
to make this obvious.

As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and
simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error.  This
simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize
almost everywhere.  Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark
ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.

Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an
audit for it's removal anyway.

Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and
needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

Re: [PATCH 2/2] check ATTR_SIZE contraints in inode_change_ok

Hi,

Can you drop the GFS2 bit from this? I've got patches for the new
truncate sequence for GFS2 and that bit you have altered in the patch
below doesn't exist after that patch is applied,

Steve.

I'd really prefer to get all these preparation in before converting
filesystems if possible.  They change a lot of the helpers to be used
in ->setattr, so getting the infrastructure right should make it
a lot more clear what's happening in the filesystem code.

Hmm, I don't know if we can do this unless you have audited the
filesystems (in which case they should be on the cc list of this
pach).

The problem is whether the i_size is valid and stable at this
point. And it doesn't help even if you do leave the inode_newsize_ok
check inside the vmtruncate part of the fs if the check incorrectly
fails here.

ocfs2 performs inode_change_ok outside ocfs2_rw_lock and
ocfs2_inode_lock, and inode_newsize_ok inside; cifs holds i_lock
while checking inode_newsize_ok and updating size; gfs2 inside
gfs2_trans_begin.

Haven't looked closely at all fses or the consequences of the above.

Thoughts?

  That's a good point. For all local filesystems I know, holding i_mutex is
enough for having stable i_size. But for clustered filesystems it
definitely isn't. They have to hold cluster locks to be able to reliably
check current i_size (at least OCFS2 does). Looking at what
inode_newsize_ok currently does, i_size is only used to decide whether
we need to check for rlimit or not. So we could falsely miss this
check (other node is truncating the file below new offset)... Hmm, OK, so
we really need the cluster lock...
  BTW: Mark, don't we need the cluster lock also for the permission
checks in inode_change_ok? Otherwise we could see:
	Node1				Node2
	chmod("file", 000);
					truncate("file", 0)
					  inode_change_ok still see old perms
					    -> success

  And Node1 and Node2 can be fully serialized via some userspace
synchronization and still hit this so it's not just a race...

Yes, or falsely disallow a shrinking truncate if it is above our
rlimit.

That's a good point too, yes. I think if the inode_change_ok check
were moved inside the cluster lock, that would solve that problem
and Christoph's i_size problem here.

Yes, we should have it for all of the checks.  It would be good if
the cluster folks came up with proper patches for vfs.git #for-next
to fix up the cluster locking for all of ->setattr.

What about network filesystems? Some (ceph, cifs) seem to do i_size
checks under i_lock.

Pseudo filesystems -- most seem OK. Miklos why do you time out the
attributes on inodes? Is this accounted for when doing setattr
checks (ie. might any attributes be stale here?)

And what to do about intermediate breakage in vfs tree? Should we
instead add a new helper which does all the required checks and
then push non obvious changes through filesystem trees?

Hmm, If we don't get that sorted we need to split out the current
inode_change_ok into __inode_change_ok.  Then again these filesystems
will also need locking for the other attributes.  I'll do another
audit for these.

I already have such a patch, and as per your request, I'm only waiting
for your changes in the same area to hit mainline before I merge it into
my git tree to avoid conflicts in -next. If you'd like to merge the
changes via the vfs tree instead, thats ok too, but let me know which,

Steve.
