2008-04-29NBD: allow nbd to be used locallyLaurent Vivier
This patch allows Network Block Device to be mounted locally (nbd-client to nbd-server over 127.0.0.1). It creates a kthread to avoid the deadlock described in NBD tools documentation. So, if nbd-client hangs waiting for pages, the kblockd thread can continue its work and free pages. I have tested the patch to verify that it avoids the hang that always occurs when writing to a localhost nbd connection. I have also tested to verify that no performance degradation results from the additional thread and queue. Patch originally from Laurent Vivier.

2008-04-29edd: add default mode CONFIG_EDD_OFF=n, override with edd={on,off}Tim Gardner
Add a kernel parameter option to 'edd' to enable/disable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Services. CONFIG_EDD_OFF disables EDD while still compiling EDD into the kernel. Default behavior can be forced using 'edd=on' or 'edd=off' as a kernel parameter.

2008-04-29sysctl: add the ->permissions callback on the ctl_table_rootPavel Emelyanov
When reading from/writing to some table, a root, which this table came from, may affect this table's permissions, depending on who is working with the table. The core hunk is at the bottom of this patch. All the rest is just pushing the ctl_table_root argument up to the sysctl_perm() function. This will be mostly (only?) used in the net sysctls.

2008-04-29sysctl: clean from unneeded extern and forward declarationsPavel Emelyanov
The do_sysctl_strategy isn't used outside kernel/sysctl.c, so this can be static and without a prototype in header. Besides, move this one and parse_table() above their callers and drop the forward declarations of the latter call. One more "besides" - fix two checkpatch warnings: space before a ( and an extra space at the end of a line. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Acked-by: David S.

2008-04-29sysctl: merge equal proc_sys_read and proc_sys_writePavel Emelyanov
Many (most of) sysctls do not have a per-container sense. E.g. kernel.print_fatal_signals, vm.panic_on_oom, net.core.netdev_budget and so on and so forth. Besides, tuning then from inside a container is not even secure. On the other hand, hiding them completely from the container's tasks sometimes causes user-space to stop working. When developing net sysctl, the common practice was to duplicate a table and drop the write bits in table->mode, but this approach was not very elegant, lead to excessive memory consumption and was not suitable in general. Here's the alternative solution. To facilitate the per-container sysctls ctl_table_root-s were introduced. Each root contains a list of ctl_table_header-s that are visible to different namespaces. The idea of this set is to add the permissions() callback on the ctl_table_root to allow ctl root limit permissions to the same ctl_table-s. The main user of this functionality is the net-namespaces code, but later this will (should) be used by more and more namespaces, containers and control groups. Actually, this idea's core is in a single hunk in the third patch. First two patches are cleanups for sysctl code, while the third one mostly extends the arguments set of some sysctl functions. This patch: These ->read and ->write callbacks act in a very similar way, so merge these paths to reduce the number of places to patch later and shrink the .text size (a bit).

2008-04-29proc: introduce proc_create_data to setup de->dataDenis V. Lunev
This set of patches fixes an proc ->open'less usage due to ->proc_fops flip in the most part of the kernel code. The original OOPS is described in the commit 2d3a4e3666325a9709cc8ea2e88151394e8f20fc: Typical PDE creation code looks like: pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL); if (pde) pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops; Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to final value. This is a problem because right after creation a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below). The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like: pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops); if (!pde) return -ENOMEM; Fix most networking users for a start. In the long run, create_proc_entry() for regular files will go. In addition to this, proc_create_data is introduced to fix reading from proc without PDE->data. The race is basically the same as above. create_proc_entries is replaced in the entire kernel code as new method is also simply better. This patch: The problem is the same as for de->proc_fops. Right now PDE becomes visible without data set. So, the entry could be looked up without data. This, in most cases, will simply OOPS. proc_create_data call is created to address this issue. proc_create now becomes a wrapper around it. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Cc: "Eric W.

2008-04-29proc: remove ->get_info infrastructureAlexey Dobriyan
Now that last dozen or so users of ->get_info were removed, ditch it too. Everyone sane shouldd have switched to seq_file interface long ago. P.S.: Co-existing 3 interfaces (->get_info/->read_proc/->proc_fops) for proc is long-standing crap, BTW, thus a) put ->read_proc/->write_proc/read_proc_entry() users on death row, b) new such users should be rejected, c) everyone is encouraged to convert his favourite ->read_proc user or I'll do it, lazy bastards.

2008-04-29proc: switch /proc/scsi/device_info to seq_file interfaceAlexey Dobriyan
Note 1: 0644 should be used, but root bypasses permissions, so writing to /proc/scsi/device_info still works. Note 2: looks like scsi_dev_info_list is unprotected Note 3: probably make proc whine about "unwriteable but with ->write hook" entries. Probably.

2008-04-29proc: switch /proc/irda/irnet to seq_file interfaceAlexey Dobriyan
Probably interface misuse, because of the way iterating over hashbin is done. However! Printing of socket number ("IrNET socket %d - ", i++") made conversion to proper ->start/->next difficult enough to do blindly without hardware. Said that, please apply.

2008-04-29proc: remove proc_root from driversAlexey Dobriyan
Remove proc_root export. Creation and removal works well if parent PDE is supplied as NULL -- it worked always that way. So, one useless export removed and consistency added, some drivers created PDEs with &proc_root as parent but removed them as NULL and so on.
