Subject: [PATCH 1/2] create file_drop_write_access() helper


These should fix the bug that Erez Zadok <[email protected]>
reported:

Stopping RPC idmapd:

kernel: __fput() of writeable file with no mnt_want_write()
kernel: WARNING: at fs/file_table.c:262 __fput()
kernel: [<c010283e>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x12/0x25
kernel: [<c0103042>] show_trace+0xd/0x10
...

The actual bug was a missed mnt_want_write() when a
filp was allocated with get_empty_filp() and then
made writable. Using alloc_file(), instead, fixes
that.

--

If someone decides to demote a file from r/w to just
r/o, they can use this same code as __fput().

NFS does just that, and will use this in the next
patch.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix up new filp allocators


Some new uses of get_empty_filp() have crept in, and are
not properly taking mnt_want_write()s. This fixes them
up.

We really need to kill get_empty_filp().

Hmm... The NFS server may also try to 'upgrade' an open file request to
a read/write request whenever the client issues a new OPEN request for
WRITE using the same open_owner.

Does RPC idmapd open a regular pipe too? I thought it only used
rpc_pipefs?

No. I the the actual bug triggered by idmapd was from an eventpoll filp
that had been acquired through anon_inode_getfd(). I just noticed the
pipe code here could be another potential bug of the same type.

See fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c:nfs4_upgrade_open().

I suspect that there are other reasons why what nfsd is doing here is a
bad idea, and that we should really be getting a new file descriptor.
But I haven't figured out yet what to do instead.
