    Generic Process Control Groups
    --------------------------

    There have recently been various proposals floating around for
    resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in
    the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy
    cgroups, and others. These all need the basic abstraction of being
    able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to
    track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control
    other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in
    different ways.

    This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes
    into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those
    groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an
    aggregate.

    The intention is that the various resource management and
    virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup
    clients, with the result that:

    - the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised

    - it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in
    conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of
    them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system.

    - the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource
    management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need
    to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their
    chances of getting into the kernel

    This patch:

    Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the
    basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state
    objects to tasks.

  • 5dc8bf813   signal/timer/event fds: anonymous inode source ... Browse Code »

    This patch add an anonymous inode source, to be used for files that need
    and inode only in order to create a file*. We do not care of having an
    inode for each file, and we do not even care of having different names in
    the associated dentries (dentry names will be same for classes of file*).
    This allow code reuse, and will be used by epoll, signalfd and timerfd
    (and whatever else there'll be).

  • 939b00df0   [PATCH] Minix V3 support ... Browse Code »

    This morning I needed to read a Minix V3 filesystem, but unfortunately my
    2.6.19 did not support that, and neither did the downloaded 2.6.20rc4.

    Fortunately, google told me that Daniel Aragones had already done the work,
    patch found at http://www.terra.es/personal2/danarag/

    Unfortunaly, looking at the patch was painful to my eyes, so I polished it
    a bit before applying. The resulting kernel boots, and reads the
    filesystem it needed to read.

  • dd2c56599   [PATCH] Add AFS_SUPER_MAGIC to magic.h ... Browse Code »

    Jeffrey Altman, one of the gatekeepers of OpenAFS (the open source project
    which inherited the Transarc/IBM AFS codebase) has requested that the magic
    number 0x5346414F (little endian 'OAFS') be allocated for the f_type field
    of the fsinfo structure on Linux:

    https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2006-December/024829.html

    Add it to include/linux/magic.h, mostly as a way of publishing this number
    and ensuring that no other filesystem accidentally uses it.
