2008-03-07[NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3)Pavel Emelyanov
Current /proc/net is done with so called "shadows", but current implementation is broken and has little chances to get fixed. The problem is that dentries subtree of /proc/net directory has fancy revalidation rules to make processes living in different net namespaces see different entries in /proc/net subtree, but currently, tasks see in the /proc/net subdir the contents of any other namespace, depending on who opened the file first. The proposed fix is to turn /proc/net into a symlink, which points to /proc/self/net, which in turn shows what previously was in /proc/net - the network-related info, from the net namespace the appropriate task lives in. # ls -l /proc/net lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 5 15:17 /proc/net -> self/net In other words - this behaves like /proc/mounts, but unlike "mounts", "net" is not a file, but a directory. Changes from v2: * Fixed discrepancy of /proc/net nlink count and selinux labeling screwup pointed out by Stephen. To get the correct nlink count the ->getattr callback for /proc/net is overridden to read one from the net->proc_net entry. To make selinux still work the net->proc_net entry is initialized properly, i.e. with the "net" name and the proc_net parent.

2008-03-06[UDP]: Revert udplite and code split.David S. Miller
This reverts commit db1ed684f6c430c4cdad67d058688b8a1b5e607c ("[IPV6] UDP: Rename IPv6 UDP files."), commit 8be8af8fa4405652e6c0797db5465a4be8afb998 ("[IPV4] UDP: Move IPv4-specific bits to other file.") and commit e898d4db2749c6052072e9bc4448e396cbdeb06a ("[UDP]: Allow users to configure UDP-Lite."). First, udplite is of such small cost, and it is a core protocol just like TCP and normal UDP are. We spent enormous amounts of effort to make udplite share as much code with core UDP as possible. All of that work is less valuable if we're just going to slap a config option on udplite support. It is also causing build failures, as reported on linux-next, showing that the changeset was not tested very well. In fact, this is the second build failure resulting from the udplite change. Finally, the config options provided was a bool, instead of a modular option. Meaning the udplite code does not even get build tested by allmodconfig builds, and furthermore the user is not presented with a reasonable modular build option which is particularly needed by distribution vendors.

2008-03-06LSM/SELinux: Interfaces to allow FS to control mount optionsEric Paris
Introduce new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to deal with their own mount options. This includes a new string parsing function exported from the LSM that an FS can use to get a security data blob and a new security data blob. This is particularly useful for an FS which uses binary mount data, like NFS, which does not pass strings into the vfs to be handled by the loaded LSM. Also fix a BUG() in both SELinux and SMACK when dealing with binary mount data. If the binary mount data is less than one page the copy_page() in security_sb_copy_data() can cause an illegal page fault and boom. Remove all NFSisms from the SELinux code since they were broken by past NFS changes.

Replace free_hot_cold_page's VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) by a "Bad page state" and clear: most users don't have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM on, and if it were set here, it'd likely cause corruption when the page is reused. Don't use page_assign_page_cgroup to clear it: that should be private to memcontrol.c, and always called with the lock taken; and memmap_init_zone doesn't need it either - like page->mapping and other pointers throughout the kernel, Linux assumes pointers in zeroed structures are NULL pointers. Instead use page_reset_bad_cgroup, added to memcontrol.h for this only.

2008-03-04PCI: Add DECLARE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE macroJonas Bonn
The definitions of struct pci_device_id arrays should generally follow the same pattern across the entire kernel. This macro defines this array as const and puts it into the __devinitconst section. There are currently many definitions scattered about the kernel that omit the __devinitdata modifier despite the documentation stating that it should always be there. These definitions really also should have been const, which wasn't possible before but has become so with the addition of the __devinitconst attribute. Furthermore, there are definitions that use "const" and __devinitdata, which is explicitly wrong but the compiler doesn't catch section mismatches if there's only one such one case in the module (which is often the case). Adding the __devinitconst modifier where there was nothing before buys us memory. Adding the const modifier gives the compiler a chance to do its thing. Changing __devinitdata to __devinitconst where it was wrong actually fixes some compiler errors in older (mid-release) kernels that were patched over by "removing" the section attribute altogether (which wastes memory). This macro makes it pretty difficult to get this definition wrong in the future... Signed-off-by: Jonas Bonn <jonas@southpole.se> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2008-03-04KVM: remove the usage of the mmap_sem for the protection of the memory slots.Izik Eidus
This patch replaces the mmap_sem lock for the memory slots with a new kvm private lock, it is needed beacuse untill now there were cases where kvm accesses user memory while holding the mmap semaphore. Signed-off-by: Izik Eidus <izike@qumranet.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

2008-03-04block: separate out padding from alignmentTejun Heo
Block layer alignment was used for two different purposes - memory alignment and padding. This causes problems in lower layers because drivers which only require memory alignment ends up with adjusted rq->data_len. Separate out padding such that padding occurs iff driver explicitly requests it. Tomo: restorethe code to update bio in blk_rq_map_user introduced by the commit 40b01b9bbdf51ae543a04744283bf2d56c4a6afa according to padding alignment.

2008-03-04block: restore the meaning of rq->data_len to the true data lengthFUJITA Tomonori
The meaning of rq->data_len was changed to the length of an allocated buffer from the true data length. It breaks SG_IO friends and bsg. This patch restores the meaning of rq->data_len to the true data length and adds rq->extra_len to store an extended length (due to drain buffer and padding). This patch also removes the code to update bio in blk_rq_map_user introduced by the commit 40b01b9bbdf51ae543a04744283bf2d56c4a6afa. The commit adjusts bio according to memory alignment (queue_dma_alignment). However, memory alignment is NOT padding alignment. This adjustment also breaks SG_IO friends and bsg. Padding alignment needs to be fixed in a proper way (by a separate patch). Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@carl.home.kernel.dk>

2008-03-03Revert "unique end pointer" patchChristoph Lameter
This only made sense for the alternate fastpath which was reverted last week. Mathieu is working on a new version that addresses the fastpath issues but that new code first needs to go through mm and it is not clear if we need the unique end pointers with his new scheme.

2008-03-03[ARP]: Introduce the arp_hdr_len helper.Pavel Emelyanov
There are some place, that calculate the ARP header length. These calculations are correct, but a) some operate with "magic" constants, b) enlarge the code length (sometimes at the cost of coding style), c) are not informative from the first glance. The proposal is to introduce a helper, that includes all the good sides of these calculations. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
