Commit bcb6f6d2b9c2 ("fuse: use timespec64") introduced clamped nsec values
in time_to_jiffies but used the max of nsec and NSEC_PER_SEC - 1 instead of
the min. Because of this, dentries would stay in the cache longer than
requested and go stale in scenarios that relied on their timely eviction.

fuse_abort_conn() moves requests from pending list to a temporary list
before canceling them. This operation races with request_wait_answer()
which also tries to remove the request after it gets a fatal signal. It
checks FR_PENDING flag to determine whether the request is still in the
pending list.
Make fuse_abort_conn() clear FR_PENDING flag so that request_wait_answer()
does not remove the request from temporary list.
This bug causes an Oops when trying to delete an already deleted list entry
in end_requests().

Basically, the pjdfstests set the ownership of a file to 06555, and then
chowns it (as root) to a new uid/gid. Prior to commit a09f99eddef4 ("fuse:
fix killing s[ug]id in setattr"), fuse would send down a setattr with both
the uid/gid change and a new mode. Now, it just sends down the uid/gid
change.
Technically this is NOTABUG, since POSIX doesn't _require_ that we clear
these bits for a privileged process, but Linux (wisely) has done that and I
think we don't want to change that behavior here.
This is caused by the use of should_remove_suid(), which will always return
0 when the process has CAP_FSETID.
In fact we really don't need to be calling should_remove_suid() at all,
since we've already been indicated that we should remove the suid, we just
don't want to use a (very) stale mode for that.
This patch should fix the above as well as simplify the logic.

* splice_to_pipe() stops at pipe overflow and does *not* take pipe_lock
* ->splice_read() instances do the same
* vmsplice_to_pipe() and do_splice() (ultimate callers of splice_to_pipe())
arrange for waiting, looping, etc. themselves.
That should make pipe_lock the outermost one.
Unfortunately, existing rules for the amount passed by vmsplice_to_pipe()
and do_splice() are quite ugly _and_ userland code can be easily broken
by changing those. It's not even "no more than the maximal capacity of
this pipe" - it's "once we'd fed pipe->nr_buffers pages into the pipe,
leave instead of waiting".
Considering how poorly these rules are documented, let's try "wait for some
space to appear, unless given SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK, then push into pipe
and if we run into overflow, we are done".

the generic setxattr/getxattr/listxattr callbacks. Split the xattr code
out into it's own file, and promote symbols to module-global scope as

Functionally these changes have no impact, as fuse still uses a single

Store in memory pointed to by ->d_fsdata. Use ->d_init() to allocate the

We could cast ->d_fsdata directly on 64bit archs, but I don't think this is

Add a new INIT flag, FUSE_POSIX_ACL, for negotiating ACL support with
userspace. When it is set in the INIT response, ACL support will be
enabled. ACL support also implies "default_permissions".
When ACL support is enabled, the kernel will cache and have responsibility
for enforcing ACLs. ACL xattrs will be passed to userspace, which is
responsible for updating the ACLs in the filesystem, keeping the file mode
in sync, and inheritance of default ACLs when new filesystem nodes are
created.

Only userspace filesystem can do the killing of suid/sgid without races.

Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

Fuse allowed VFS to set mode in setattr in order to clear suid/sgid on
chown and truncate, and (since writeback_cache) write. The problem with
this is that it'll potentially restore a stale mode.
The poper fix would be to let the filesystems do the suid/sgid clearing on
the relevant operations. Possibly some are already doing it but there's no
way we can detect this.
So fix this by refreshing and recalculating the mode. Do this only if
ATTR_KILL_S[UG]ID is set to not destroy performance for writes. This is
still racy but the size of the window is reduced.

Without "default_permissions" the userspace filesystem's lookup operation
needs to perform the check for search permission on the directory.
If directory does not allow search for everyone (this is quite rare) then
userspace filesystem has to set entry timeout to zero to make sure
permissions are always performed.
Changing the mode bits of the directory should also invalidate the
(previously cached) dentry to make sure the next lookup will have a chance
of updating the timeout, if needed.

current_fs_time() uses struct super_block* as an argument.
As per Linus's suggestion, this is changed to take struct
inode* as a parameter instead. This is because the function
is primarily meant for vfs inode timestamps.
Also the function was renamed as per Arnd's suggestion.
Change all calls to current_fs_time() to use the new
current_time() function instead. current_fs_time() will be

CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it
doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps.
Use current_time() instead.
CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe.
This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions
vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them
y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be
extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all
file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also,
current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be
y2038 safe.
Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used
to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they
share the same time granularity.

When reading from a loop device backed by a fuse file it deadlocks on

This is because the page is already locked by the read() operation done on

There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages
being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
accounted on the zone. This can be coped with to some extent but it's
confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted. Due to
throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

This changes the vfs dentry hashing to mix in the parent pointer at the
_beginning_ of the hash, rather than at the end.
That actually improves both the hash and the code generation, because we
can move more of the computation to the "static" part of the dcache
setup, and do less at lookup runtime.
It turns out that a lot of other hash users also really wanted to mix in
a base pointer as a 'salt' for the hash, and so the slightly extended
interface ends up working well for other cases too.
Users that want a string hash that is purely about the string pass in a
'salt' pointer of NULL.
