2008-04-29ipmi: run to completion fixesCorey Minyard
The "run_to_completion" mode was somewhat broken. Locks need to be avoided in run_to_completion mode, and it shouldn't be used by normal users, just internally for panic situations. This patch removes locks in run_to_completion mode and removes the user call for setting the mode. The only user was the poweroff code, but it was easily converted to use the polling interface.

2008-04-29ipc: re-enable msgmni automatic recomputing msgmni if set to negativeNadia Derbey
The enhancement as asked for by Yasunori: if msgmni is set to a negative value, register it back into the ipcns notifier chain. A new interface has been added to the notification mechanism: notifier_chain_cond_register() registers a notifier block only if not already registered. With that new interface we avoid taking care of the states changes in procfs.

2008-04-29ipc: recompute msgmni on ipc namespace creation/removalNadia Derbey
Introduce a notification mechanism that aims at recomputing msgmni each time an ipc namespace is created or removed. The ipc namespace notifier chain already defined for memory hotplug management is used for that purpose too. Each time a new ipc namespace is allocated or an existing ipc namespace is removed, the ipcns notifier chain is notified. The callback routine for each registered ipc namespace is then activated in order to recompute msgmni for that namespace.

2008-04-29ipc: recompute msgmni on memory add / removeNadia Derbey
Introduce the registration of a callback routine that recomputes msg_ctlmni upon memory add / remove. A single notifier block is registered in the hotplug memory chain for all the ipc namespaces. Since the ipc namespaces are not linked together, they have their own notification chain: one notifier_block is defined per ipc namespace. Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it registers (unregisters) its notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain. The callback routine registered in the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier chain with the IPCNS_LOWMEM event. Each callback routine registered in the ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes msgmni for the owning namespace.

2008-04-29ipc: scale msgmni to the number of ipc namespacesNadia Derbey

2008-04-29ipc: scale msgmni to the amount of lowmemNadia Derbey
On large systems we'd like to allow a larger number of message queues. In some cases up to 32K. However simply setting MSGMNI to a larger value may cause problems for smaller systems. The first patch of this series introduces a default maximum number of message queue ids that scales with the amount of lowmem. Since msgmni is per namespace and there is no amount of memory dedicated to each namespace so far, the second patch of this series scales msgmni to the number of ipc namespaces too. Since msgmni depends on the amount of memory, it becomes necessary to recompute it upon memory add/remove. In the 4th patch, memory hotplug management is added: a notifier block is registered into the memory hotplug notifier chain for the ipc subsystem. Since the ipc namespaces are not linked together, they have their own notification chain: one notifier_block is defined per ipc namespace. Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it registers (unregisters) its notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain. The callback routine registered in the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier chain with the IPCNS_MEMCHANGE event. Each callback routine registered in the ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes msgmni for the owning namespace. The 5th patch makes it possible to keep the memory hotplug notifier chain's lock for a lesser amount of time: instead of directly notifying the ipcns notifier chain upon memory add/remove, a work item is added to the global workqueue. When activated, this work item is the one who notifies the ipcns notifier chain. Since msgmni depends on the number of ipc namespaces, it becomes necessary to recompute it upon ipc namespace creation / removal. The 6th patch uses the ipc namespace notifier chain for that purpose: that chain is notified each time an ipc namespace is created or removed. This makes it possible to recompute msgmni for all the namespaces each time one of them is created or removed. When msgmni is explicitely set from userspace, we should avoid recomputing it upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal. This is what the 7th patch does: it simply unregisters the ipcns callback routine as soon as msgmni has been changed from procfs or sysctl(). Even if msgmni is set by hand, it should be possible to make it back automatically recomputed upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal. This what is achieved in patch 8: if set to a negative value, msgmni is added back to the ipcns notifier chain, making it automatically recomputed again. This patch: Compute msg_ctlmni to make it scale with the amount of lowmem. msg_ctlmni is now set to make the message queues occupy 1/32 of the available lowmem. Some cleaning has also been done for the MSGPOOL constant: the msgctl man page says it's not used, but it also defines it as a size in bytes (the code expresses it in Kbytes).

2008-04-29memcgroup: implement failcounter resetPavel Emelyanov
This is a very common requirement from people using the resource accounting facilities (not only memcgroup but also OpenVZ beancounters). They want to put the cgroup in an initial state without re-creating it. For example after re-configuring a group people want to observe how this new configuration fits the group needs without saving the previous failcnt value. Merge two resets into one mem_cgroup_reset() function to demonstrate how multiplexing work. Besides, I have plans to move the files, that correspond to res_counter to the res_counter.c file and somehow "import" them into controller. I don't know how to make it gracefully yet, but merging resets of max_usage and failcnt in one function will be there for sure.

2008-04-29cgroups: add an owner to the mm_structBalbir Singh
Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner. This approach was suggested by Paul Menage. The advantage of this approach is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup can be determined. It also allows several control groups that are virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to mm_struct. A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource controller selects this config option. This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner changes. The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner. I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and helping me make it lighter and simpler. This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the MM_OWNER config turned on and off. After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

2008-04-29cgroups: implement device whitelistSerge E. Hallyn
Implement a cgroup to track and enforce open and mknod restrictions on device files. A device cgroup associates a device access whitelist with each cgroup. A whitelist entry has 4 fields. 'type' is a (all), c (char), or b (block). 'all' means it applies to all types and all major and minor numbers. Major and minor are either an integer or * for all. Access is a composition of r (read), w (write), and m (mknod). The root device cgroup starts with rwm to 'all'. A child devcg gets a copy of the parent. Admins can then remove devices from the whitelist or add new entries. A child cgroup can never receive a device access which is denied its parent. However when a device access is removed from a parent it will not also be removed from the child(ren). An entry is added using devices.allow, and removed using devices.deny. For instance echo 'c 1:3 mr' > /cgroups/1/devices.allow allows cgroup 1 to read and mknod the device usually known as /dev/null. Doing echo a > /cgroups/1/devices.deny will remove the default 'a *:* mrw' entry. CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to change permissions or move another task to a new cgroup. A cgroup may not be granted more permissions than the cgroup's parent has. Any task can move itself between cgroups. This won't be sufficient, but we can decide the best way to adequately restrict movement later.

2008-04-29vt: fix background color on line feedJan Engelhardt
A command that causes a line feed while a background color is active, such as perl -e 'print "x" x 60, "\e[44m", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"' and perl -e 'print "x" x 40, "\e[44m\n", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"' causes the line that was started as a result of the line feed to be completely filled with the currently active background color instead of the default color. When scrolling, part of the current screen is memcpy'd/memmove'd to the new region, and the new line(s) that will appear as a result are cleared using memset. However, the lines are cleared with vc->vc_video_erase_char, causing them to be colored with the currently active background color. This is different from X11 terminal emulators which always paint the new lines with the default background color (e.g. `xterm -bg black`). The clear operation (\e[1J and \e[2J) also use vc_video_erase_char, so a new vc->vc_scrl_erase_char is introduced with contains the erase character used for scrolling, which is built from vc->vc_def_color instead of vc->vc_color.

2008-04-29binfmt_misc.c: avoid potential kernel stack overflowPavel Emelyanov
This can be triggered with root help only, but... Register the ":text:E::txt::/root/cat.txt:' rule in binfmt_misc (by root) and try launching the cat.txt file (by anyone) :) The result is - the endless recursion in the load_misc_binary -> open_exec -> load_misc_binary chain and stack overflow. There's a similar problem with binfmt_script, and there's a sh_bang memner on linux_binprm structure to handle this, but simply raising this in binfmt_misc may break some setups when the interpreter of some misc binaries is a script. So the proposal is to turn sh_bang into a bit, add a new one (the misc_bang) and raise it in load_misc_binary. After this, even if we set up the misc -> script -> misc loop for binfmts one of them will step on its own bang and exit.

2008-04-29exec: remove argv_len from struct linux_binprmTetsuo Handa
I noticed that 2.6.24.2 calculates bprm->argv_len at do_execve(). But it doesn't update bprm->argv_len after "remove_arg_zero() + copy_strings_kernel()" at load_script() etc. audit_bprm() is called from search_binary_handler() and search_binary_handler() is called from load_script() etc. Thus, I think the condition check if (bprm->argv_len > (audit_argv_kb << 10)) return -E2BIG; in audit_bprm() might return wrong result when strlen(removed_arg) != strlen(spliced_args). Why not update bprm->argv_len at load_script() etc. ? By the way, 2.6.25-rc3 seems to not doing the condition check. Is the field bprm->argv_len no longer needed?

2008-04-29Taint kernel after WARN_ON(condition)Nur Hussein
The kernel is sent to tainted within the warn_on_slowpath() function, and whenever a warning occurs the new taint flag 'W' is set. This is useful to know if a warning occurred before a BUG by preserving the warning as a flag in the taint state. This does not work on architectures where WARN_ON has its own definition. These archs are: 1. s390 2. superh 3. avr32 4. parisc The maintainers of these architectures have been added in the Cc: list in this email to alert them to the situation. The documentation in oops-tracing.txt has been updated to include the new flag.

2008-04-29Avoid divides in BITS_TO_LONGSEric Dumazet
BITS_PER_LONG is a signed value (32 or 64) DIV_ROUND_UP(nr, BITS_PER_LONG) performs signed arithmetic if "nr" is signed too. Converting BITS_TO_LONGS(nr) to DIV_ROUND_UP(nr, BITS_PER_BYTE * sizeof(long)) makes sure compiler can perform a right shift, even if "nr" is a signed value, instead of an expensive integer divide. Applying this patch saves 141 bytes on x86 when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y and speedup bitmap operations.
