[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 0/2] ocfs2: Block signals for file creation

[Joel Becker]

File creation is not idempotent.  Signal interruption can cause a
restart of the operations, but once we have started we cannot safely do
so.  The two patches of this series make the operations signal-safe.

[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 1/2] ocfs2: Wrap signal blocking in void functions.

[Joel Becker]

ocfs2 sometimes needs to block signals around dlm operations, but it
currently does it with sigprocmask().  Even worse, it's checking the
error code of sigprocmask().  The in-kernel sigprocmask() can only error
if you get the SIG_* argument wrong.  We don't.

Wrap the sigprocmask() calls with ocfs2_[un]block_signals().  These
functions are void, but they will BUG() if somehow sigprocmask() returns
an error.

[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 2/2] ocfs2: Block signals for mkdir/link/symlink/O_CREAT.

[Joel Becker]

Once file or link creation gets going, it can't be interrupted by a
signal.  They're not idempotent.

This blocks signals in ocfs2_mknod(), ocfs2_link(), and ocfs2_symlink()
once we start actually changing things.  ocfs2_mknod() covers mknod(),
creat(), mkdir(), and open(O_CREAT).
