* fsnotify: provide the data type to should_send_eventEric Paris2010-07-286-6/+11
| | | | | | | | | | fanotify is only interested in event types which contain enough information to open the original file in the context of the fanotify listener. Since fanotify may not want to send events if that data isn't present we pass the data type to the should_send_event function call so fanotify can express its lack of interest.

* inotify: do not spam console without limitEric Paris2010-07-281-7/+4Star
| | | | | | | | | inotify was supposed to have a dmesg printk ratelimitor which would cause inotify to only emit one message per boot. The static bool was never set so it kept firing messages. This patch correctly limits warnings in multiple places. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

* inotify: do not reuse watch descriptorsEric Paris2010-07-281-7/+6Star
| | | | | | | | | | Prior to 2.6.31 inotify would not reuse watch descriptors until all of them had been used at least once. After the rewrite inotify would reuse watch descriptors. The selinux utility 'restorecond' was found to have problems when watch descriptors were reused. This patch reverts to the pre inotify rewrite behavior to not reuse watch descriptors.

* fsnotify: use kmem_cache_zalloc to simplify event initializationEric Paris2010-07-281-12/+1Star
| | | | | | | | | fsnotify event initialization is done entry by entry with almost everything set to either 0 or NULL. Use kmem_cache_zalloc and only initialize things that need non-zero initialization. Also means we don't have to change initialization entries based on the config options.

* inotify: use container_of instead of castingEric Paris2010-07-281-1/+3
| | | | | | | | inotify_free_mark casts directly from an fsnotify_mark_entry to an inotify_inode_mark_entry. This works, but should use container_of instead for future proofing. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fsnotify: use fsnotify_create_event to allocate the q_overflow eventEric Paris2010-07-281-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | Currently fsnotify defines a static fsnotify event which is sent when a group overflows its allotted queue length. This patch just allocates that event from the event cache rather than defining it statically. There is no known reason that the current implementation is wrong, but this makes sure the event is initialized and created like any other. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* Audit: audit watch init should not be before fsnotify initEric Paris2010-07-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Audit watch init and fsnotify init both use subsys_initcall() but since the audit watch code is linked in before the fsnotify code the audit watch code would be using the fsnotify srcu struct before it was initialized. This patch fixes that problem by moving audit watch init to device_initcall() so it happens after fsnotify is ready.

* fsnotify: allow addition of duplicate fsnotify marksEric Paris2010-07-285-7/+9
| | | | | | | | | This patch allows a task to add a second fsnotify mark to an inode for the same group. This mark will be added to the end of the inode's list and this will never be found by the stand fsnotify_find_mark() function.

* audit: do not get and put just to free a watchEric Paris2010-07-283-31/+5Star
| | | | | | | | | | deleting audit watch rules is not currently done under audit_filter_mutex. It was done this way because we could not hold the mutex during inotify manipulation. Since we are using fsnotify we don't need to do the extra get/put pair nor do we need the private list on which to store the parents while they are about to be freed.

* audit: redo audit watch locking and refcnt in light of fsnotifyEric Paris2010-07-281-40/+5Star

This fixes a bug I encountered using a Sun Quad-Fast Ethernet card and VLANs. On my configuration, the sunhme driver produces skbs with differing amounts of headroom on receive depending on the packet size. See line 2030 of drivers/net/sunhme.c; packets smaller than RX_COPY_THRESHOLD have 52 bytes of headroom but packets larger than that cutoff have only 20 bytes. When these packets reach the VLAN driver, vlan_check_reorder_header() calls skb_cow(), which, if the packet has less than NET_SKB_PAD (== 32) bytes of headroom, uses pskb_expand_head() to make more. Then, pskb_expand_head() needs to adjust a lot of offsets into the skb, including csum_start. Since csum_start is a union with csum, if the packet has a valid csum value this will corrupt it, which was the effect I observed. The sunhme hardware computes receive checksums, so the skbs would be created by the driver with ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE and a valid csum field, and then pskb_expand_head() would corrupt the csum field, leading to an "hw csum error" message later on, for example in icmp_rcv() for pings larger than the sunhme RX_COPY_THRESHOLD. On the basis of the comment at the beginning of include/linux/skbuff.h, I believe that the csum_start skb field is only meaningful if ip_csummed is CSUM_PARTIAL, so this patch makes pskb_expand_head() adjust it only in that case to avoid corrupting a valid csum value.

This appears to be caused by the fact that macvtap packet queues are unlimited in length. This means that if the receiver can't keep up with the rate of flow, then we will hit OOM. Of course it gets worse if the OOM killer then decides to kill the receiver. This patch imposes a cap on the packet queue length, in the same way as the tuntap driver, using the device TX queue length. Please note that macvtap currently has no way of giving congestion notification, that means the software device TX queue cannot be used and packets will always be dropped once the macvtap driver queue fills up. This shouldn't be a great problem for the scenario where macvtap is used to feed a kvm receiver, as the traffic is most likely external in origin so congestion notification can't be applied anyway. Of course, if anybody decides to complain about guest-to-guest UDP packet loss down the track, then we may have to revisit this. Incidentally, this patch also fixes a real memory leak when macvtap_get_queue fails. Chris Wright noticed that for this patch to work, we need a non-zero TX queue length. This patch includes his work to change the default macvtap TX queue length to 500.

The ixgbe driver is only valid for PFs or non SR-IOV hardware. It seems that the same problem could occur on igb hardware as well, so if we discover we are trying to initialize a VF in ixbge_probe or igb_probe, print an error and exit.
