1) Introduces a new method in 'struct dentry_operations'. This method
called d_dname() might be called from d_path() to build a pathname for
special filesystems. It is called without locks.
Future patches (if we succeed in having one common dentry for all
pipes/sockets) may need to change prototype of this method, but we now
use : char *d_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen);
2) Adds a dynamic_dname() helper function that eases d_dname() implementations
3) Defines d_dname method for sockets : No more sprintf() at socket
creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to
/proc/pid/fd/...
4) Defines d_dname method for pipes : No more sprintf() at pipe
creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to

The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive
information about the memory location and usage of processes. Issues:
- maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any
kind of ASLR protection from local attackers.
- maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc
check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid())
process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file. (For reference
see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150)
- a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of
non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents.
This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing
access to read the maps contents. To control this protection, the new knob
/proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to
the procfs documentation.

There's a slight problem with filesystem type representation in fuse
based filesystems.
From the kernel's view, there are just two filesystem types: fuse and
fuseblk. From the user's view there are lots of different filesystem
types. The user is not even much concerned if the filesystem is fuse based
or not. So there's a conflict of interest in how this should be
represented in fstab, mtab and /proc/mounts.
The current scheme is to encode the real filesystem type in the mount
source. So an sshfs mount looks like this:
sshfs#user@server:/ /mnt/server fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,...
This url-ish syntax works OK for sshfs and similar filesystems. However
for block device based filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs) it doesn't work, since
the kernel expects the mount source to be a real device name.
A possibly better scheme would be to encode the real type in the type
field as "type.subtype". So fuse mounts would look like this:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows fuseblk.ntfs-3g rw,...
user@server:/ /mnt/server fuse.sshfs rw,nosuid,nodev,...
This patch adds the necessary code to the kernel so that this can be
correctly displayed in /proc/mounts.

Epoll is doing multiple passes over the ready set at the moment, because of
the constraints over the f_op->poll() call. Looking at the code again, I
noticed that we already hold the epoll semaphore in read, and this
(together with other locking conditions that hold while doing an
epoll_wait()) can lead to a smarter way [1] to "ship" events to userspace
(in a single pass).
This is a stress application that can be used to test the new code. It
spwans multiple thread and call epoll_wait() and epoll_ctl() from many
threads. Stress tested on my dual Opteron 254 w/out any problems.
http://www.xmailserver.org/totalmess.c
This is not a benchmark, just something that tries to stress and exploit
possible problems with the new code.
Also, I made a stupid micro-benchmark:
http://www.xmailserver.org/epwbench.c
[1] Considering that epoll must be thread-safe, there are five ways we can
be hit during an epoll_wait() transfer loop (ep_send_events()):
1) The epoll fd going away and calling ep_free
This just can't happen, since we did an fget() in sys_epoll_wait
2) An epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL)
This can't happen because epoll_ctl() gets ep->sem in write, and
we're holding it in read during ep_send_events()
3) An fd stored inside the epoll fd going away
This can't happen because in eventpoll_release_file() we get
ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during
ep_send_events()
4) Another epoll_wait() happening on another thread
They both can be inside ep_send_events() at the same time, we get
(splice) the ready-list under the spinlock, so each one will get
its own ready list. Note that an fd cannot be at the same time
inside more than one ready list, because ep_poll_callback() will
not re-queue it if it sees it already linked:
if (ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink))
goto is_linked;
Another case that can happen, is two concurrent epoll_wait(),
coming in with a userspace event buffer of size, say, ten.
Suppose there are 50 event ready in the list. The first
epoll_wait() will "steal" the whole list, while the second, seeing
no events, will go to sleep. But at the end of ep_send_events() in
the first epoll_wait(), we will re-inject surplus ready fds, and we
will trigger the proper wake_up to the second epoll_wait().
5) ep_poll_callback() hitting us asyncronously
This is the tricky part. As I said above, the ep_is_linked() test
done inside ep_poll_callback(), will guarantee us that until the
item will result linked to a list, ep_poll_callback() will not try
to re-queue it again (read, write data on any of its members). When
we do a list_del() in ep_send_events(), the item will still satisfy
the ep_is_linked() test (whatever data is written in prev/next,
it'll never be its own pointer), so ep_poll_callback() will still
leave us alone. It's only after the eventual smp_mb()+INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->rdllink)
that it'll become visible to ep_poll_callback(), but at the point
we're already past it.

This patch merges all the nsproxy and its associated namespace copy/clone
handling (as much as possible). Posted on container list earlier for
feedback.
- Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it back to
caller to attach it to right process.
- Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to return a new copy of namespace
instead of attaching it to task->nsproxy.
- Moved the CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks out of copy_*_ns() routines.
- Removed unnessary !ns checks from copy_*_ns() and added BUG_ON()
just incase.
- Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make use of
copy_*_ns() instead.

Petr Tesarik discovered a problem in remove_arg_zero(). He writes:
When a script is loaded, load_script() replaces argv[0] with the
name of the interpreter and the filename passed to the exec syscall.
However, there is no guarantee that the length of the interpreter
name plus the length of the filename is greater than the length of
the original argv[0]. If the difference happens to cross a page boundary,
setup_arg_pages() will call put_dirty_page() [aka install_arg_page()]
with an address outside the VMA.
Therefore, remove_arg_zero() must free all pages which would be unused
after the argument is removed.
So, rewrite the remove_arg_zero function without gotos, with a few comments,
and with the commonly used explicit index/offset. This fixes the problem
and makes it easier to understand as well.

shrinking the dentry cache.
This is done to attempt to improve the situation where the dentry slab cache
gets a lot of internal fragmentation due to pages containing directory
dentries. It is expected that this change will cause some of those dentries
to be reaped earlier, and with less scanning.
Needs careful testing.

The time shrink_dcache_parent() takes, grows quadratically with the depth
of the tree under 'parent'. This starts to get noticable at about 10,000.
These kinds of depths don't occur normally, and filesystems which invoke
shrink_dcache_parent() via d_invalidate() seem to have other depth
dependent timings, so it's not even easy to expose this problem.
However with FUSE it's easy to create a deep tree and d_invalidate()
will also get called. This can make a syscall hang for a very long
time.
This is the original discovery of the problem by Russ Cox:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.fuse.devel/3826
The following patch fixes the quadratic behavior, by optionally allowing
prune_dcache() to prune ancestors of a dentry in one go, instead of doing
it one at a time.
Common code in dput() and prune_one_dentry() is extracted into a new helper
function d_kill().
shrink_dcache_parent() as well as shrink_dcache_sb() are converted to use
the ancestry-pruner option. Only for shrink_dcache_memory() is this
behavior not desirable, so it keeps using the old algorithm.

This past week I was playing around with that pahole tool
(http://oops.ghostprotocols.net:81/acme/dwarves/) and looking at the size
of various struct in the kernel. I was surprised by the size of the
task_struct on x86_64, approaching 4K. I looked through the fields in
task_struct and found that a number of them were declared as "unsigned
long" rather than "unsigned int" despite them appearing okay as 32-bit
sized fields. On x86_64 "unsigned long" ends up being 8 bytes in size and
forces 8 byte alignment. Is there a reason there a reason they are
"unsigned long"?
The patch below drops the size of the struct from 3808 bytes (60 64-byte
cachelines) to 3760 bytes (59 64-byte cachelines). A couple other fields
in the task struct take a signficant amount of space:
struct thread_struct thread; 688
struct held_lock held_locks[30]; 1680
CONFIG_LOCKDEP is turned on in the .config

Andreas says:
This patch is now treating timestamps with the high bit set as negative
times (before Jan 1, 1970). This means we lose 1/2 of the possible range
of timestamps (lopping off 68 years before unix timestamp overflow -
now only 30 years away :-) to handle the extremely rare case of setting
timestamps into the distant past.
If we are only interested in fixing the underflow case, we could just
limit the values to 0 instead of storing negative values. At worst this
will skew the timestamp by a few hours for timezones in the far east
(files would still show Jan 1, 1970 in "ls -l" output).
That said, it seems 32-bit systems (mine at least) allow files to be set
into the past (01/01/1907 works fine) so it seems this patch is bringing
the x86_64 behaviour into sync with other kernels.
On the plus side, we have a patch that is ready to add nanosecond timestamps
to ext3 and as an added bonus adds 2 high bits to the on-disk timestamp so
this extends the maximum date to 2242.

This patch allows hostfs_setattr() to work on unlinked open files by calling
set_attr() (the userspace part) with the inode's fd.
Without this, applications that depend on doing attribute changes to unlinked
open files will fail.
It works by using the fd versions instead of the path ones (for example
fchmod() instead of chmod(), fchown() instead of chown()) when an fd is
available.

This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and
currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561
(Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those
avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP,
BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix! Tinyboards.
The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices
Inc. (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in
December of 2000. Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin
processor family of devices. The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean,
orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set. It combines a dual-MAC
(Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and
single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single
instruction-set architecture.
The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf
The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and
there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete
documentation, including "getting started" guides available at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and
patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for
bfin-linux-uclibc
This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution,
uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/
We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can
be found at:

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.

This patch provides a new macro
KMEM_CACHE(<struct>, <flags>)
to simplify slab creation. KMEM_CACHE creates a slab with the name of the
struct, with the size of the struct and with the alignment of the struct.
Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary.
Example
struct test_slab {
int a,b,c;
struct list_head;
} __cacheline_aligned_in_smp;
test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC)
will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct
test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab. If it fails then we
panic.

Remove duplicate work in kill_bdev().
It currently invalidates and then truncates the bdev's mapping.
invalidate_mapping_pages() will opportunistically remove pages from the
mapping. And truncate_inode_pages() will forcefully remove all pages.
The only thing truncate doesn't do is flush the bh lrus. So do that
explicitly. This avoids (very unlikely) but possible invalid lookup
results if the same bdev is quickly re-issued.
It also will prevent extreme kernel latencies which are observed when
blockdevs which have a large amount of pagecache are unmounted, by avoiding
invalidate_mapping_pages() on that path. invalidate_mapping_pages() has no
cond_resched (it can be called under spinlock), whereas truncate_inode_pages()
has one.

If we add a new flag so that we can distinguish between the first page and the
tail pages then we can avoid to use page->private in the first page.
page->private == page for the first page, so there is no real information in
there.
Freeing up page->private makes the use of compound pages more transparent.
They become more usable like real pages. Right now we have to be careful f.e.
if we are going beyond PAGE_SIZE allocations in the slab on i386 because we
can then no longer use the private field. This is one of the issues that
cause us not to support debugging for page size slabs in SLAB.
Having page->private available for SLUB would allow more meta information in
the page struct. I can probably avoid the 16 bit ints that I have in there
right now.
Also if page->private is available then a compound page may be equipped with
buffer heads. This may free up the way for filesystems to support larger
blocks than page size.
We add PageTail as an alias of PageReclaim. Compound pages cannot currently
be reclaimed. Because of the alias one needs to check PageCompound first.
