  • 955a857e0   NFS: new idmapper ... Browse Code »

    This patch creates a new idmapper system that uses the request-key function to
    place a call into userspace to map user and group ids to names. The old
    idmapper was single threaded, which prevented more than one request from running
    at a single time. This means that a user would have to wait for an upcall to
    finish before accessing a cached result.

    The upcall result is stored on a keyring of type id_resolver. See the file
    Documentation/filesystems/nfs/idmapper.txt for instructions.

    Avoid the following warnings when CONFIG_NFS_V4=n:

    fs/nfs/sysctl.c:19: warning: unused variable `nfs_set_port_max'
    fs/nfs/sysctl.c:18: warning: unused variable `nfs_set_port_min'

    by making those variables contingent on NFSv4 being configured.

  • 89a09141d   [PATCH] nfs: fix congestion control ... Browse Code »

    The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the
    backing device congested during each nfs_writepages() call but doesn't
    mirror this in nfs_writepage() which makes for deadlocks. Also it
    implements its own waitqueue.

    Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on
    the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue.

    Also always use an interruptible wait since it makes sense to be able to
    SIGKILL the process even for mounts without 'intr'.

  • 0b4d41471   [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • 7cc13edc1   [PATCH] sysctl: implement CTL_UNNUMBERED ... Browse Code »

    This patch takes the CTL_UNNUMBERD concept from NFS and makes it available to
    all new sysctl users.

    At the same time the sysctl binary interface maintenance documentation is
    updated to mention and to describe what is needed to successfully maintain the
    sysctl binary interface.
