* message queues: increase range limitsJoe Korty2008-10-201-6/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Increase the range of various posix message queue limits. Posix gives the message queue user the ability to 'trade off' the maximum size of messages with the number of possible messages that can be 'in flight'. Linux currently makes this trade off more restrictive than it needs to be. In particular, the maximum message size today can be made no smaller than 8192. This greatly restricts those applications that would like to have the ability to post large numbers of very small messages. So this task lowers the limit that the maximum message size can be set to, from 8192 to 128. It also lowers the limit that the maximum #number of messages in flight can be set to, from 10 to 1. With these changes the message queue user can make better trade offs between #messages and message size, in order to get everything to fit within the setrlimit(RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE) limit for that particular user. This patch also applies the values in /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_max as the defaults for the max #messages allowed and the max message size allowed, respectively, for those applications that do not supply these. Previously, the defaults were hardwired to 10 and 8192, respectively.

* [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: elevate write count for open()sDave Hansen2008-04-191-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the first really tricky patch in the series. It elevates the writer count on a mount each time a non-special file is opened for write. We used to do this in may_open(), but Miklos pointed out that __dentry_open() is used as well to create filps. This will cover even those cases, while a call in may_open() would not have. There is also an elevated count around the vfs_create() call in open_namei(). See the comments for more details, but we need this to fix a 'create, remount, fail r/w open()' race. Some filesystems forego the use of normal vfs calls to create struct files. Make sure that these users elevate the mnt writer count because they will get __fput(), and we need to make sure they're balanced.

* pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to userPavel Emelyanov2007-10-191-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids. The idea is: - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call; - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids; - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this task's namespace the global one is to be used; - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

* slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter2007-05-071-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking request in this case.

* [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mountDavid Howells2006-06-231-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

* [PATCH] Audit of POSIX Message Queue Syscalls v.2George C. Wilson2006-06-201-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds audit support to POSIX message queues. It applies cleanly to the lspp.b15 branch of Al Viro's git tree. There are new auxiliary data structures, and collection and emission routines in kernel/auditsc.c. New hooks in ipc/mqueue.c collect arguments from the syscalls. I tested the patch by building the examples from the POSIX MQ library tarball. Build them -lrt, not against the old MQ library in the tarball. Here's the URL: http://www.geocities.com/wronski12/posix_ipc/libmqueue-4.41.tar.gz Do auditctl -a exit,always -S for mq_open, mq_timedsend, mq_timedreceive, mq_notify, mq_getsetattr. mq_unlink has no new hooks. Please see the corresponding userspace patch to get correct output from auditd for the new record types.

* [NETLINK]: Fix a severe bugAlexey Kuznetsov2006-02-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | netlink overrun was broken while improvement of netlink. Destination socket is used in the place where it was meant to be source socket, so that now overrun is never sent to user netlink sockets, when it should be, and it even can be set on kernel socket, which results in complete deadlock of rtnetlink. Suggested fix is to restore status quo passing source socket as additional argument to netlink_attachskb(). A little explanation: overrun is set on a socket, when it failed to receive some message and sender of this messages does not or even have no way to handle this error. This happens in two cases: 1. when kernel sends something. Kernel never retransmits and cannot wait for buffer space. 2. when user sends a broadcast and the message was not delivered to some recipients.

* [PATCH] Fix double decrement of mqueue_mnt->mnt_count in sys_mq_openAlexander Viro2006-01-141-26/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixed the refcounting on failure exits in sys_mq_open() and cleaned the logics up. Rules are actually pretty simple - dentry_open() expects vfsmount and dentry to be pinned down and it either transfers them into created struct file or drops them. Old code had been very confused in that area - if dentry_open() had failed either in do_open() or do_create(), we ended up dentry and mqueue_mnt dropped twice, once by dentry_open() cleanup and then by sys_mq_open(). Fix consists of making the rules for do_create() and do_open() same as for dentry_open() and updating the sys_mq_open() accordingly; that actually leads to more straightforward code and less work on normal path.
