cifs: add new cifs_iget function and convert unix codepath to use it
In order to unify some codepaths, introduce a common cifs_fattr struct
for storing inode attributes. The different codepaths (unix, legacy,
normal, etc...) can fill out this struct with inode info. It can then be
passed as an arg to a common set of routines to get and update inodes.
Add a new cifs_iget function that uses iget5_locked to identify inodes.
This will compare inodes based on the uniqueid value in a cifs_fattr
struct.
Rather than filling out an already-created inode, have
cifs_get_inode_info_unix instead fill out cifs_fattr and hand that off
to cifs_iget. cifs_iget can then properly look for hardlinked inodes.
On the readdir side, add a new cifs_readdir_lookup function that spawns
populated dentries. Redefine FILE_UNIX_INFO so that it's basically a
FILE_UNIX_BASIC_INFO that has a few fields wrapped around it. This
allows us to more easily use the same function for filling out the fattr
as the non-readdir codepath.
With this, we should then have proper hardlink detection and can
eventually get rid of some nasty CIFS-specific hacks for handing them.

FreeXid() along with freeing Xid does add a cifsFYI debug message that
prints rc (return code) as well. In some code paths where we set/return
error code after calling FreeXid(), incorrect error code is being
printed when cifsFYI is enabled.
This could be misleading in few cases. For eg.
In cifs_open() if cifs_fill_filedata() returns a valid pointer to
cifsFileInfo, FreeXid() prints rc=-13 whereas 0 is actually being
returned. Fix this by setting rc before calling FreeXid().
Basically convert
FreeXid(xid); rc = -ERR;
return -ERR; => FreeXid(xid);
return rc;
[Note that Christoph would like to replace the GetXid/FreeXid
calls, which are primarily used for debugging. This seems
like a good longer term goal, but although there is an
alternative tracing facility, there are no examples yet
available that I know of that we can use (yet) to
convert this cifs function entry/exit logging, and for
creating an identifier that we can use to correlate
all dmesg log entries for a particular vfs operation
(ie identify all log entries for a particular vfs
request to cifs: e.g. a particular close or read or write
or byte range lock call ... and just using the thread id
is harder). Eventually when a replacement
for this is available (e.g. when NFS switches over and various
samples to look at in other file systems) we can remove the
GetXid/FreeXid macro but in the meantime multiple people
use this run time configurable logging all the time
for debugging, and Suresh's patch fixes a problem
which made it harder to notice some low
memory problems in the log so it is worthwhile
to fix this problem until a better logging
approach is able to be used]

The first two didn't handle update the size correctly when writes that

The first patch also didn't update the size correctly when it explicitly

This patch adds code to track the client's current understanding of the
size of the file on the server separate from the i_size, and then to use
this info to semi-intelligently set the timeout for writes past the EOF.
This helps prevent timeouts when trying to write large, sparse files on

We already flush all the dirty pages for an inode before doing
ATTR_SIZE and ATTR_MTIME changes. There's another problem though -- if
we change the mode so that the file becomes read-only then we may not
be able to write data to it after a reconnect.
Fix this by just going back to flushing all the dirty data on any
setattr call. There are probably some cases that can be optimized out,
but I'm not sure they're worthwhile and we need to consider them more
carefully to make sure that we don't cause regressions if we have

The existing logic tried a path based rename first, but if we needed to
remove the destination then it only attempted a filehandle based rename
afterward. Not all servers support renaming by filehandle, so we need to
always attempt path rename first and fall back to filehandle rename if

CIFS currently allows you to change the mode of an inode on a share that
doesn't have unix extensions enabled, and isn't using cifsacl. The inode
in this case *only* has its mode changed in memory on the client. This
is problematic since it can change any time the inode is purged from the
cache.
This patch makes cifs_setattr silently ignore most mode changes when
unix extensions and cifsacl support are not enabled, and when the share
is not mounted with the "dynperm" option. The exceptions are:
When a mode change would remove all write access to an inode we turn on
the ATTR_READONLY bit on the server and remove all write bits from the
inode's mode in memory.
When a mode change would add a write bit to an inode that previously had
them all turned off, it turns off the ATTR_READONLY bit on the server,
and resets the mode back to what it would normally be (generally, the
file_mode or dir_mode of the share).

When CIFS creates a new inode on a mount without unix extensions, it
temporarily assigns the mode that was passed to it in the create/mkdir
call. Eventually, when the inode is revalidated, it changes to have the
file_mode or dir_mode for the mount. This is confusing to users who
expect that the mode shouldn't change this way. It's also problematic
since only the mode is treated this way, not the uid or gid. Suppose you
have a CIFS mount that's mounted with:
uid=0,gid=0,file_mode=0666,dir_mode=0777
...if an unprivileged user comes along and does this on the mount:
mkdir -m 0700 foo
touch foo/bar
...there is a period of time where the touch will fail, since the dir
will initially be owned by root and have mode 0700. If the user waits
long enough, then "foo" will be revalidated and will get the correct
dir_mode permissions.
This patch changes cifs_mkdir and cifs_create to not overwrite the
mode found by the initial cifs_get_inode_info call after the inode is
created on the server. Legacy behavior can be reenabled with the
new "dynperm" mount option.

When a share was in DFS and the server was Unix/Linux, we were sending paths of the form
\\server\share/dir/file
rather than
//server/share/dir/file
There was some discussion between me and jra over whether we should use
/server/share/dir/file
as MS sometimes says - but the documentation for this claims it should be
doubleslash for this type of UNC-like path format and that works, so leaving
it as doubleslash but converting the \ to / in the the //server/share portion.
This gets Samba to now correctly return STATUS_PATH_NOT_COVERED when it is
supposed to (Windows already did since the direction of the slash was not an issue
for them). Still need another minor change to fully enable DFS (need to finish
some chages to SMBGetDFSRefer

Shirish Pargaonkar noted:
With cifsacl mount option, when a file is created on the Windows server,
exclusive oplock is broken right away because the get cifs acl code
again opens the file to obtain security descriptor.
The client does not have the newly created file handle or inode in any
of its lists yet so it does not respond to oplock break and server waits for
its duration and then responds to the second open. This slows down file
creation signficantly. The fix is to pass the file descriptor to the get
cifsacl code wherever available so that get cifs acl code does not send
second open (NT Create ANDX) and oplock is not broken.

Stop the CIFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Replace
cifs_read_inode() with cifs_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
cifs_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.
cifs_read_super() now returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of ENOMEM.
cifs_iget() needs examining. The comment "can not call macro FreeXid here
since in a void func" is no longer true.

Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions
zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2)
Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to
start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and
makes code clearer.
zero_user_segment(page, start, end)
Same for a single segment.
zero_user(page, start, length)
Length variant for the case where we know the length.
We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues:
1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable.
2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM.
Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the
code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always
KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code.
Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing
with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with
kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those
configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other
functions defined in highmem.h.
Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page
function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced
here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these
functions are called.
Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.

Fix RedHat bug 329431
The idea here is separate "conscious" from "unconscious" flushes.
Conscious flushes are those due to a fsync() or close(). Unconscious
ones are flushes that occur as a side effect of some other operation or
due to memory pressure.
Currently, when an error occurs during an unconscious flush (ENOSPC or
EIO), we toss out the page and don't preserve that error to report to
the user when a conscious flush occurs. If after the unconscious flush,
there are no more dirty pages for the inode, the conscious flush will
simply return success even though there were previous errors when writing
out pages. This can lead to data corruption.
The easiest way to reproduce this is to mount up a CIFS share that's
very close to being full or where the user is very close to quota. mv
a file to the share that's slightly larger than the quota allows. The
writes will all succeed (since they go to pagecache). The mv will do a
setattr to set the new file's attributes. This calls
filemap_write_and_wait,
which will return an error since all of the pages can't be written out.
Then later, when the flush and release ops occur, there are no more
dirty pages in pagecache for the file and those operations return 0. mv
then assumes that the file was written out correctly and deletes the
original.
CIFS already has a write_behind_rc variable where it stores the results
from earlier flushes, but that value is only reported in cifs_close.
Since the VFS ignores the return value from the release operation, this
isn't helpful. We should be reporting this error during the flush
operation.
This patch does the following:
1) changes cifs_fsync to use filemap_write_and_wait and cifs_flush and also
sync to check its return code. If it returns successful, they then check
the value of write_behind_rc to see if an earlier flush had reported any
errors. If so, they return that error and clear write_behind_rc.
2) sets write_behind_rc in a few other places where pages are written
out as a side effect of other operations and the code waits on them.
3) changes cifs_setattr to only call filemap_write_and_wait for
ATTR_SIZE changes.
4) makes cifs_writepages accurately distinguish between EIO and ENOSPC
errors when writing out pages.
Some simple testing indicates that the patch works as expected and that
it fixes the reproduceable known problem.

This patch makes CIFS honour a process' umask like other filesystems.
Of course the server is still free to munge the permissions if it wants
to; but the client will send the "right" permissions to begin with.
A few caveats:
1) It only applies to filesystems that have CAP_UNIX (aka support unix
extensions)
2) It applies the correct mode to the follow up CIFSSMBUnixSetPerms()
after remote creation
When mode to CIFS/NTFS ACL mapping is complete we can do the

support the Unix Extensions.

owners of the file from the server (on the Unix Query Path Info

were having to disable the Unix Extensions (which turned off features
they still wanted). The changeset patch allows users to override uid
and/or gid for file/directory owner with a default uid and/or gid
specified at mount (as is often done when mounting from Linux cifs
client to Windows server). This changeset also displays the uid
and gid used by default in /proc/mounts (if applicable).
Also cleans up code by adding some of the missing spaces after
"if" keywords per-kernel style guidelines (as suggested by Randy Dunlap

Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()

If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc. Given the generally
crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
forever.
