Subject[PATCH v2 0/8] Add O_DENY* support for VFS and CIFS/NFS
Date
This patchset adds support of O_DENY* flags for Linux fs layer. These flags can be used by any application that needs share reservations to organize a file access. VFS already has some sort of this capability - now it's done through flock/LOCK_MAND mechanis, but that approach is non-atomic. This patchset build new capabilities on top of the existing one but doesn't bring any changes into the flock call semantic.

These flags can be used by NFS (built-in-kernel) and CIFS (Samba) servers and Wine applications through VFS (for local filesystems) or CIFS/NFS modules. This will help when e.g. Samba and NFS server share the same directory for Windows and Linux users or Wine applications use Samba/NFS share to access the same data from different clients.

According to the previous discussions the most problematic question is how to prevent situations like DoS attacks where e.g /lib/liba.so file can be open with DENYREAD, or smth like this. That's why one extra flag O_DENYMAND is added. It indicates to underlying layer that an application want to use O_DENY* flags semantic. It allows us not affect native Linux applications (that don't use O_DENYMAND flag) - so, these flags (and the semantic of open syscall that they bring) are used only for those applications that really want it proccessed that way.

So, we have four new flags:
O_DENYREAD - to prevent other opens with read access,
O_DENYWRITE - to prevent other opens with write access,
O_DENYDELETE - to prevent delete operations (this flag is not implemented in VFS and NFS part and only suitable for CIFS module),
O_DENYMAND - to switch on/off three flags above.

The #1 patch bring infrastructure to let us add this capability easier. #2 patch adds flags to fcntl while #3 patch implement VFS part. Patches #4, #5, #6 are related to CIFS-specific changes. #7 and #8 describe NFS and NFSD parts.

Also, I created the preliminary patch for Samba that replaces the existing use of flock/LOCK_MAND mechanism with O_DENY* flags:

Pavel Shilovsky (8):
locks: make flock_lock_file take is_conflict callback parm
fcntl: Introduce new O_DENY* open flags
vfs: Add O_DENYREAD/WRITE flags support for open syscall
CIFS: Add O_DENY* open flags support
CIFS: Use NT_CREATE_ANDX command for forcemand mounts
CIFS: Translate SHARING_VIOLATION to -ETXTBSY error code for SMB2
NFSv4: Add O_DENY* open flags support
NFSD: Pass share reservations flags to VFS
