      libceph: let osd ops determine request data length · 175face2
      Alex Elder authored
      The length of outgoing data in an osd request is dependent on the
      osd ops that are embedded in that request.  Each op is encoded into
      a request message using osd_req_encode_op(), so that should be used
      to determine the amount of outgoing data implied by the op as it
      is encoded.
      
      Have osd_req_encode_op() return the number of bytes of outgoing data
      implied by the op being encoded, and accumulate and use that in
      ceph_osdc_build_request().
      
      As a result, ceph_osdc_build_request() no longer requires its "len"
      parameter, so get rid of it.
      
      Using the sum of the op lengths rather than the length provided is
      a valid change because:
          - The only callers of osd ceph_osdc_build_request() are
            rbd and the osd client (in ceph_osdc_new_request() on
            behalf of the file system).
          - When rbd calls it, the length provided is only non-zero for
            write requests, and in that case the single op has the
            same length value as what was passed here.
          - When called from ceph_osdc_new_request(), (it's not all that
            easy to see, but) the length passed is also always the same
            as the extent length encoded in its (single) write op if
            present.
      
      This resolves:

      libceph: record byte count not page count · e0c59487
      Alex Elder authored
      
      Record the byte count for an osd request rather than the page count.
      The number of pages can always be derived from the byte count (and
      alignment/offset) but the reverse is not true.

      libceph: separate read and write data · 0fff87ec
      Alex Elder authored
      An osd request defines information about where data to be read
      should be placed as well as where data to write comes from.
      Currently these are represented by common fields.
      
      Keep information about data for writing separate from data to be
      read by splitting these into data_in and data_out fields.
      
      This is the key patch in this whole series, in that it actually
      identifies which osd requests generate outgoing data and which
      generate incoming data.  It's less obvious (currently) that an osd
      CALL op generates both outgoing and incoming data; that's the focus
      of some upcoming work.
      
      This resolves:

      libceph: distinguish page and bio requests · 2ac2b7a6
      Alex Elder authored
      
      An osd request uses either pages or a bio list for its data.  Use a
      union to record information about the two, and add a data type
      tag to select between them.

      efivars: only check for duplicates on the registered list · f464246d
      Matt Fleming authored
      
      variable_is_present() accesses '__efivars' directly, but when called via
      gsmi_init() Michel reports observing the following crash,
      
        BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
        IP: variable_is_present+0x55/0x170
        Call Trace:
          register_efivars+0x106/0x370
          gsmi_init+0x2ad/0x3da
          do_one_initcall+0x3f/0x170
      
      The reason for the crash is that '__efivars' hasn't been initialised nor
      has it been registered with register_efivars() by the time the google
      EFI SMI driver runs.  The gsmi code uses its own struct efivars, and
      therefore, a different variable list.  Fix the above crash by passing
      the registered struct efivars to variable_is_present(), so that we
      traverse the correct list.

      TTY: fix atime/mtime regression · 37b7f3c7
      Jiri Slaby authored
      In commit b0de59b5
      
       ("TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write")
      we removed timestamps from tty inodes to fix a security issue and waited
      if something breaks.  Well, 'w', the utility to find out logged users
      and their inactivity time broke.  It shows that users are inactive since
      the time they logged in.
      
      To revert to the old behaviour while still preventing attackers to
      guess the password length, we update the timestamps in one-minute
      intervals by this patch.
