2006-10-02[PATCH] BLOCK: Revert patch to hack around undeclared sigset_t in linux/compat.hDavid Howells
Revert Andrew Morton's patch to temporarily hack around the lack of a declaration of sigset_t in linux/compat.h to make the block-disablement patches build on IA64. This got accidentally pushed to Linus and should be fixed in a different manner. Also make linux/compat.h #include asm/signal.h to gain a definition of sigset_t so that it can externally declare sigset_from_compat(). This has been compile-tested for i386, x86_64, ia64, mips, mips64, frv, ppc and ppc64 and run-tested on frv.

2006-10-02[PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pidCedric Le Goater
There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled. The ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them. It kills a task, usually init, using a cached pid (cad_pid). This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around problem. The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be modified through systctl with /proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid [ I haven't found any distro using it ? ] It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

proc_pid_make_inode: ei->pid = get_pid(task_pid(task)); I think this is not safe. get_pid() can be preempted after checking "pid != NULL".

2006-10-02[PATCH] proc: drop tasklist lock in task_state()Oleg Nesterov
task_state() needs tasklist_lock to protect ->parent/->real_parent. However task->parent points to nowhere only when the actions below happen in order 1) release_task(task) 2) release_task(task->parent) 3) a grace period passed But 3) implies that the memory ops from 1) should be finished, so pid_alive() can't be true in such a case. Otherwise, we don't care if ->parent/->real_parent changes under us. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: "Eric W.

2006-10-02[PATCH] proc: Remove the hard coded inode numbersEric W. Biederman
The hard coded inode numbers in proc currently limit its maintainability, its flexibility, and what can be done with the rest of system. /proc limits pid-max to 32768 on 32 bit systems it limits fd-max to 32768 on all systems, and placing the pid in the inode number really gets in the way of implementing subdirectories of per process information. Ever since people started adding to the middle of the file type enumeration we haven't been maintaing the historical inode numbers, all we have really succeeded in doing is keeping the pid in the proc inode number. The pid is already available in the directory name so no information is lost removing it from the inode number. So if something in user space cares if we remove the inode number from the /proc inode it is almost certainly broken. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-02[PATCH] proc: Make the generation of the self symlink table drivenEric W. Biederman
This patch generalizes the concept of files in /proc that are related to processes but live in the root directory of /proc Ideally this would reuse infrastructure from the rest of the process specific parts of proc but unfortunately security_task_to_inode must not be called on files that are not strictly per process. security_task_to_inode really needs to be reexamined as the security label can change in important places that we are not currently catching, but I'm not certain that simplifies this problem. By at least matching the structure of the rest of proc we get more idiom reuse and it becomes easier to spot problems in the way things are put together. Later things like /proc/mounts are likely to be moved into proc_base as well. If union mounts are ever supported we may be able to make /proc a union mount, and properly split it into 2 filesystems.

sh64 is using system call macros to call some functions from the kernel. The old debug code can simply be removed, since we don't really have that much of a need for it anymore, it was mostly something that was handy during the initial bringup.

2006-10-02[PATCH] provide kernel_execve on all architecturesArnd Bergmann
This adds the new kernel_execve function on all architectures that were using _syscall3() to implement execve. The implementation uses code from the _syscall3 macros provided in the unistd.h header file. I don't have cross-compilers for any of these architectures, so the patch is untested with the exception of i386. Most architectures can probably implement this in a nicer way in assembly or by combining it with the sys_execve implementation itself, but this should do it for now.

2006-10-02[PATCH] namespaces: exit_task_namespaces() invalidates nsproxyCedric Le Goater
exit_task_namespaces() has replaced the former exit_namespace(). It invalidates task->nsproxy and associated namespaces.

This moves the mount namespace into the nsproxy. The mount namespace count now refers to the number of nsproxies point to it, rather than the number of tasks.

2006-10-02[PATCH] namespaces: add nsproxySerge E. Hallyn
This patch adds a nsproxy structure to the task struct. Later patches will move the fs namespace pointer into this structure, and introduce a new utsname namespace into the nsproxy. The vserver and openvz functionality, then, would be implemented in large part by virtualizing/isolating more and more resources into namespaces, each contained in the nsproxy.

2006-10-02[PATCH] knfsd: make rpc threads pools numa awareGreg Banks
Actually implement multiple pools. On NUMA machines, allocate a svc_pool per NUMA node; on SMP a svc_pool per CPU; otherwise a single global pool. Enqueue sockets on the svc_pool corresponding to the CPU on which the socket bh is run (i.e. the NIC interrupt CPU). Threads have their cpu mask set to limit them to the CPUs in the svc_pool that owns them. This is the patch that allows an Altix to scale NFS traffic linearly beyond 4 CPUs and 4 NICs. Incorporates changes and feedback from Neil Brown, Trond Myklebust, and Christoph Hellwig.
