I didn't notice at the time but user_path_dir() was not introduced
at the same time as set_fs_pwd() change. I had lumped the two
together but in fact user_path_dir() was introduced in 2.6.27 and
set_fs_pwd() taking 2 args was introduced in 2.6.25. This means
builds against 2.6.25-2.6.26 kernels were broken.
To fix this I've added a check for user_path_dir() and no longer
assume that if set_fs_pwd() takes 2 args then user_path_dir() is
also available.
Updated AUTHORS, COPYING, DISCLAIMER, and INSTALL files. Added
standardized headers to all source file to clearly indicate the
copyright, license, and to give credit where credit is due.
During module init spl_setup()->The vn_set_pwd("/") was failing
with -EFAULT because user_path_dir() and __user_walk() both
expect 'filename' to be a user space address and it's not in
this case. To handle this the data segment size is increased
to to ensure strncpy_from_user() does not fail with -EFAULT.
Additionally, I've added a printk() warning to catch this and
log it to the console if it ever reoccurs. I thought everything
was working properly here because there consequences of this
failing are subtle and usually non-critical.
Ricardo has pointed out that under Solaris the cwd is set to '/'
during module load, while under Linux it is set to the callers cwd.
To handle this cleanly I've reworked the module *_init()/_exit()
macros so they call a *_setup()/_cleanup() function when any SPL
dependent module is loaded or unloaded. This gives us a chance to
perform any needed modification of the process, in this case changing
the cwd. It also handily provides a way to avoid creating wrapper
init()/exit() functions because the Solaris and Linux prototypes
differ slightly. All dependent modules should now call the spl
helper macros spl_module_{init,exit}() instead of the native linux
versions.
Unfortunately, it appears that under Linux there has been no consistent
API in the kernel to set the cwd in a module. Because of this I have
had to add more autoconf magic than I'd like. However, what I have
done is correct and has been tested on RHEL5, SLES11, FC11, and CHAOS
kernels.
In addition, I have change the rootdir type from a 'void *' to the
correct 'vnode_t *' type. And I've set rootdir to a non-NULL value.
- Configure check for SLES specific API change to vfs_unlink()
and vfs_rename() which added a 'struct vfsmount *' argument.
This was for something called the linux-security-module, but
it appears that it was never adopted upstream.
