It is ok to do find_task_by_pid() + get_task_struct() under
rcu_read_lock(), we cand drop tasklist_lock.
Note that testing of ->exit_state is racy with or without tasklist anyway.

During testing I've found that the mount pending flag can be left set at
exit from autofs4_lookup after a failed mount request. This shouldn't be
allowed to happen and causes incorrect error returns.

The check for an empty directory in the autofs4_follow_link method fails
occassionally due to old dentrys. We had the same problem
autofs4_revalidate ages ago. I thought we wouldn't need this in
autofs4_follow_link, silly me.

copy_process:
// holds tasklist_lock + ->siglock
/*
* inherit ioprio
*/
p->ioprio = current->ioprio;
Why? ->ioprio was already copied in dup_task_struct(). I guess this is
needed to ensure that the child can't escape
sys_ioprio_set(IOPRIO_WHO_{PGRP,USER}), yes?
In that case we don't need ->siglock held, and the comment should be
updated.

I am not sure this patch is correct: I can't understand what the current
code does, and I don't know what it was supposed to do.
The comment says:
* can't change policy, except between SCHED_NORMAL
* and SCHED_BATCH:
The code:
if (((policy != SCHED_NORMAL && p->policy != SCHED_BATCH) &&
(policy != SCHED_BATCH && p->policy != SCHED_NORMAL)) &&
But this is equivalent to:
if ( (is_rt_policy(policy) && has_rt_policy(p)) &&
which means something different. We can't _decrease_ the current
->rt_priority with such a check (if rlim[RLIMIT_RTPRIO] == 0).
Probably, it was supposed to be:
if ( !(policy == SCHED_NORMAL && p->policy == SCHED_BATCH) &&
!(policy == SCHED_BATCH && p->policy == SCHED_NORMAL)
this matches the comment, but strange: it doesn't allow to _drop_ the
realtime priority when rlim[RLIMIT_RTPRIO] == 0.
I think the right check would be:
/* can't set/change rt policy */
if (is_rt_policy(policy) &&
policy != p->policy &&
!rlim_rtprio)
return -EPERM;

It is sure confusing that linux/ptrace.h has:
#define PTRACE_SINGLESTEP 9
#define PTRACE_ATTACH 0x10
#define PTRACE_DETACH 0x11
#define PTRACE_SYSCALL 24
All the low-numbered constants are in decimal, but the last two in hex.
It sure makes it likely that someone will look at this and think that
9, 10, 11 are used, and that 16 and 17 are not used.
How about we use the same notation for all the numbers [0,24] in the
same short list?

Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390
timer interrupt handler with this change.
Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks
get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy
pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.
This cleanup make a barrier added by
5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes
it.
As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really
remove wall_jiffies. It would be another cleanup patch)

ISO9660 file system
There was an I/O error that prevented reading the last partial block of
large files in an ISO9660 filesystem. The error was generated when a file
comprised more than one section and had a size that was not an exact
multiple of the filesystem block size. This patch removes the check (and
failure) for reading into the last partial block (and possibly beyond) for
multiple-section files.
It worked in my testing to prevent reading beyond the end of the section;
my first patch just incremented the sect_size block count for a partial
block and continued doing the check. But there is a commment in the source
code about reading beyond the end of the file to fill a page cache.
Failing to access beyond the section would prevent reading beyond the end
of the file.

When a posix_cpu_nsleep() sleep is interrupted by a signal more than twice, it
incorrectly reports the sleep time remaining to the user. Because
posix_cpu_nsleep() doesn't report back to the user when it's called from
restart function due to the wrong flags handling.
This patch, which applies after previous one, moves the nanosleep() function
from posix_cpu_nsleep() to do_cpu_nanosleep() and cleans up the flags handling
appropriately.

time in compatibility mode
The clock_nanosleep() function does not return the time remaining when the
sleep is interrupted by a signal.
This patch creates a new call out, compat_clock_nanosleep_restart(), which
handles returning the remaining time after a sleep is interrupted. This
patch revives clock_nanosleep_restart(). It is now accessed via the new
call out. The compat_clock_nanosleep_restart() is used for compatibility
access.
Since this is implemented in compatibility mode the normal path is
virtually unaffected - no real performance impact.

The problem is that close() syscalls can call a file system's flush
handler, which in turn might sleep interruptibly and ultimately pass back
an -ERESTARTSYS return value. This happens for files backed by an
interruptible NFS mount under nfs_file_flush() when a large file has just
been written and nfs_wait_bit_interruptible() detects that there is a
signal pending.
I have a test case where the "strace" command is used to attach to a
process sleeping in such a close(). Since the SIGSTOP is forced onto the
victim process (removing it from the thread's "blocked" mask in
force_sig_info()), the RPC wait is interrupted and the close() is
terminated early.
But the file table entry has already been cleared before the flush handler
was called. Thus, when the syscall is restarted, the file descriptor
appears closed and an EBADF error is returned (which is wrong). What's
worse, there is the hypothetical case where another thread of a
multi-threaded application might have reused the file descriptor, in which
case that file would be mistakenly closed.
The bottom line is that close() syscalls are not restartable, and thus
-ERESTARTSYS return values should be mapped to -EINTR. This is consistent
with the close(2) manual page. The fix is below.

Both __kfifo_put() and __kfifo_get() have header comments stating that if
there is but one concurrent reader and one concurrent writer, locking is not
necessary. This is almost the case, but a couple of memory barriers are
needed. Another option would be to change the header comments to remove the
bit about locking not being needed, and to change the those callers who
currently don't use locking to add the required locking. The attachment
analyzes this approach, but the patch below seems simpler.

The code in __register_chrdev_region checks that if the driver wishing to
register has the same major as an existing driver the new minor range is
strictly less than the existing minor range. However, it does not also
check that the new minor range is strictly greater than the existing minor
range. That is, if driver X has registered with major=x and minor=0-3,
__register_chrdev_region will allow driver Y to register with major=x and
minor=1-4.

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().
Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.
Eric's original description:
There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
because we give it special properties. Most significantly init
must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test
->pid == 1.
Introduce is_init to capture this case.
With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
process that has pid == 1.

This appears to be the only usage of is_init in the kernel besides the
usage in sched.h. On ia64 the same function is called in_init. So to
remove the conflict and make the kernel more consistent rename is_init
is_core is_local and is_local_section to in_init in_core in_local and
in_local_section respectively.
Thanks to Adrian Bunk who spotted this, and to Matthew Wilcox
who suggested this fix.

Fixed race on put_files_struct on exec with proc. Restoring files on
current on error path may lead to proc having a pointer to already kfree-d
files_struct.
->files changing at exit.c and khtread.c are safe as exit_files() makes all
things under lock.
Found during OpenVZ stress testing.
