3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Tyler Hicks <tyhi...@canonical.com> commit 8335eafc2859e1a26282bef7c3d19f3d68868b8a upstream. After calling into the lower filesystem to do a rename, the lower target inode's attributes were not copied up to the eCryptfs target inode. This resulted in the eCryptfs target inode staying around, rather than being evicted, because i_nlink was not updated for the eCryptfs inode. This also meant that eCryptfs didn't do the final iput() on the lower target inode so it stayed around, as well. This would result in a failure to free up space occupied by the target file in the rename() operation. Both target inodes would eventually be evicted when the eCryptfs filesystem was unmounted. This patch calls fsstack_copy_attr_all() after the lower filesystem does its ->rename() so that important inode attributes, such as i_nlink, are updated at the eCryptfs layer. ecryptfs_evict_inode() is now called and eCryptfs can drop its final reference on the lower inode. http://launchpad.net/bugs/561129 Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhi...@canonical.com> Tested-by: Colin Ian King <colin.k...@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gre...@linuxfoundation.org> --- fs/ecryptfs/inode.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) --- a/fs/ecryptfs/inode.c +++ b/fs/ecryptfs/inode.c @@ -653,6 +653,7 @@ ecryptfs_rename(struct inode *old_dir, s struct dentry *lower_old_dir_dentry; struct dentry *lower_new_dir_dentry; struct dentry *trap = NULL; + struct inode *target_inode; lower_old_dentry = ecryptfs_dentry_to_lower(old_dentry); lower_new_dentry = ecryptfs_dentry_to_lower(new_dentry); @@ -660,6 +661,7 @@ ecryptfs_rename(struct inode *old_dir, s dget(lower_new_dentry); lower_old_dir_dentry = dget_parent(lower_old_dentry); lower_new_dir_dentry = dget_parent(lower_new_dentry); + target_inode = new_dentry->d_inode; trap = lock_rename(lower_old_dir_dentry, lower_new_dir_dentry); /* source should not be ancestor of target */ if (trap == lower_old_dentry) { @@ -675,6 +677,9 @@ ecryptfs_rename(struct inode *old_dir, s lower_new_dir_dentry->d_inode, lower_new_dentry); if (rc) goto out_lock; + if (target_inode) + fsstack_copy_attr_all(target_inode, + ecryptfs_inode_to_lower(target_inode)); fsstack_copy_attr_all(new_dir, lower_new_dir_dentry->d_inode); if (new_dir != old_dir) fsstack_copy_attr_all(old_dir, lower_old_dir_dentry->d_inode); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
