If ->open() wasn't called, returning 0 is misleading and, theoretically,
oopsable:
1) remove_proc_entry clears ->proc_fops, drops lock,
2) ->open "succeeds",
3) ->release oopses, because it assumes ->open was called (single_release()).Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan

* keep references to ctl_table_head and ctl_table in /proc/sys inodes
* grab the former during operations, use the latter for access to
entry if that succeeds
* have ->d_compare() check if table should be seen for one who does lookup;
that allows us to avoid flipping inodes - if we have the same name resolve
to different things, we'll just keep several dentries and ->d_compare()
will reject the wrong ones.
* have ->lookup() and ->readdir() scan the table of our inode first, then
walk all ctl_table_header and scan ->attached_by for those that are
attached to our directory.
* implement ->getattr().
* get rid of insane amounts of tree-walking
* get rid of the need to know dentry in ->permission() and of the contortions
induced by that.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

themselves multiplexeres. Nobody uses this "feature", nor does anybody uses

Current two-stage scheme of removing PDE emphasizes one bug in proc:

remove_proc_entry
close->release won't be called because ->proc_fops were cleared. In simple
cases it's small memory leak.For every ->open, ->release has to be done. List of openers is introduced
which is traversed at remove_proc_entry() if neeeded.Discussions with Al long ago (sigh).

module_put is called only when /proc inode is destroyed. So, lets put
module counter if we are dealing with already initialised inode.Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10737

Creating PDEs with refcount 0 and "deleted" flag has problems (see below).
Switch to usual scheme:
* PDE is created with refcount 1
* every de_get does +1
* every de_put() and remove_proc_entry() do -1
* once refcount reaches 0, PDE is freed.This elegantly fixes at least two following races (both observed) without
introducing new locks, without abusing old locks, without spreading
lock_kernel():1) PDE leak
remove_proc_entry de_put
----------------- ------
[refcnt = 1]
if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0)
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count))
if (de->deleted)

else

[refcount=0, deleted=1]2) use after free
remove_proc_entry de_put

Each pid namespace have to be visible through its own proc mount. Thus we
need to have per-namespace proc trees with their own superblocks.We cannot easily show different pid namespace via one global proc tree, since
each pid refers to different tasks in different namespaces. E.g. pid 1
refers to the init task in the initial namespace and to some other task when
seeing from another namespace. Moreover - pid, exisintg in one namespace may
not exist in the other.This approach has one move advantage is that the tasks from the init namespace
can see what tasks live in another namespace by reading entries from another
proc tree.Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov

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.Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter

With this change the sysctl inodes can be cached and nothing needs to be done
when removing a sysctl table.For a cost of 2K code we will save about 4K of static tables (when we remove
de from ctl_table) and 70K in proc_dir_entries that we will not allocate, or
about half that on a 32bit arch.The speed feels about the same, even though we can now cache the sysctl
dentries :(We get the core advantage that we don't need to have a 1 to 1 mapping between
ctl table entries and proc files. Making it possible to have /proc/sys vary
depending on the namespace you are in. The currently merged namespaces don't
have an issue here but the network namespace under /proc/sys/net needs to have
different directories depending on which network adapters are visible. By
simply being a cache different directories being visible depending on who you
are is trivial to implement.[akpm@osdl.org: fix uninitialised var]

Every inode in /proc holds a reference to a struct task_struct. If a
directory or file is opened and remains open after the the task exits this
pinning continues. With 8K stacks on a 32bit machine the amount pinned per
file descriptor is about 10K.Normally I would figure a reasonable per user process limit is about 100
processes. With 80 processes, with a 1000 file descriptors each I can trigger
the 00M killer on a 32bit kernel, because I have pinned about 800MB of useless
data.This patch replaces the struct task_struct pointer with a pointer to a struct
task_ref which has a struct task_struct pointer. The so the pinning of dead
tasks does not happen.The code now has to contend with the fact that the task may now exit at any
time. Which is a little but not muh more complicated.With this change it takes about 1000 processes each opening up 1000 file
descriptors before I can trigger the OOM killer. Much better.[mlp@google.com: task_mmu small fixes]

inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch. Even
though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
spreading.Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.Signed-off-by: Paul Jackson

function puts de(!) and still returns inode with non-getted de.There are still unresolved known bugs in proc yet to be fixed:
- proc_dir_entry tree is managed without any serialization
- create_proc_entry() doesn't setup de->owner anyhow,
so setting it later manually is inatomic.

Update the file systems in fs/ implementing a delete_inode() callback to
call truncate_inode_pages(). One implementation note: In developing this
patch I put the calls to truncate_inode_pages() at the very top of those
filesystems delete_inode() callbacks in order to retain the previous
behavior. I'm guessing that some of those could probably be optimized.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
