  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
    the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.

    Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

    Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more
    sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
    addressed by later patches.

  • YOSHIFUJI fairly pointed out, that the users increment should

  • In the IPV6_FL_A_GET case the hash is checked for flowlabels
    with the given label. If it is not found, the lock, protecting
    the hash, is dropped to be re-get for writing. After this a
    newly allocated entry is inserted, but no checks are performed
    to catch a classical SMP race, when the conflicting label may
    be inserted on another cpu.

    Use the (currently unused) return value from fl_intern() to
    return the conflicting entry (if found) and re-check, whether
    we can reuse it (IPV6_FL_F_EXCL) or return -EEXISTS.

    Also add the comment, about why not re-lookup the current
    sock for conflicting flowlabel entry.

  • This routine scans the ipv6_fl_list whose update is

  • The new flowlabels should be inserted into the sock list
    under the ip6_sk_fl_lock. This was lost in one place.

    This list is naturally protected with the socket lock, but
    the fl6_sock_lookup() is called without it, so another
    protection is required.

  • This concerns the ipv4 and ipv6 code mostly, but also the netlink
    and unix sockets.

    The netlink code is an example of how to use the __seq_open_private()

  • This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global
    variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
    The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
    and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
    This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
    usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
    has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.

    Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
    in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
    network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
    that are relevant to a single network namespace.

  • Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

  • There's a bug in the seqfile show operation for flowlabel objects, where
    each hash chain is traversed cumulatively for each element. The following
    function is called for each element of each chain:

    static void ip6fl_fl_seq_show(struct seq_file *seq, struct ip6_flowlabel *fl)
    {
    while(fl) {
    seq_printf...

    fl = fl->next;
    }
    }

    Thus, objects can appear mutliple times when reading
    /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel, as the above is called for each element in the
    chain.

    The solution is to remove the while() loop from the above, and traverse
    each chain exactly once, per the patch below. This also removes the
    ip6fl_fl_seq_show() function, which does nothing else.

  • Currently, when an application requests a lease for a flowlabel via the
    IPV6_FLOWLABEL_MGR socket option, no error is returned if an invalid type
    of destination address is supplied as part of the request, leading to a
    silent failure. This patch ensures that EINVAL is returned to the
    application in this case.

  • There's a bug in the seqfile handling for /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel, where,
    after finding a flowlabel, the code will loop forever not finding any
    further flowlabels, first traversing the rest of the hash bucket then just
    looping.

    This patch fixes the problem by breaking after the hash bucket has been
    traversed.

    Note that this bug can cause lockups and oopses, and is trivially invoked
    by an unpriveleged user.
