Yes, it is nicer to not create any file when open(2) fails in the end. BTW, how have you spotted this? I've taken your ext2 and ext3 patches into my tree.

Note: I have a fix in my tree which removes EXTx_APPEND_FL from the set of flags that can be inherited from the containing directory in ext2, ext3, and ext4. That addresses this issue without needing to make the change in this patch. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I've taken your ext2 and ext3 patches into > my tree. I found this by xfstests 079, since it's no longer xfs specific and fails on extN. After applying my patch, 079 still fails on extN, but not leave unwanted file there. As Ted said, the other way to fix this is to remove EXTx_APPEND_FL from EXTx_FL_INHERITED, so new inode will not inherit the append-only flag. This fix will also make 079 pass on extN. Though I prefer the later way, I still sent out my patch for review, because it's not a behavior-changer. Thanks.

Newly created file on ext3 inherits inode flags from parent directory, so new inode created in append-only directory has S_APPEND flag set, may_open() called by do_last() checks that flag then returns -EPERM, but at that time the new inode is already created. This can be reproduced by: # mkdir -p /mnt/ext3/append-only # chattr +a /mnt/ext3/append-only # ./opentest /mnt/ext3/append-only/newtestfile # ls -l /mnt/ext3/append-only/newtestfile opentest will return 'Operation not permitted', but the ls shows that newtestfile is already created. # cat opentest.c #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/stat.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd; fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666); if (fd == -1) perror("open failed"); return 0; } To avoid this, check EXT3_APPEND_FL flag first in ext3_create before really allocating new inode.
