  • f8572d8f2   sysctl net: Remove unused binary sysctl code ... Browse Code »

    Now that sys_sysctl is a compatiblity wrapper around /proc/sys
    all sysctl strategy routines, and all ctl_name and strategy
    entries in the sysctl tables are unused, and can be
    revmoed.

    In addition neigh_sysctl_register has been modified to no longer
    take a strategy argument and it's callers have been modified not
    to pass one.

  • 8d65af789   sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler ... Browse Code »

    It's unused.

    It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl
    shouldn't care about the rest.

    It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

    David Wagner added (among other things) that copy_to_user could be
    probably used here.

    Ingo Oeser suggested to use simple_read_from_buffer() here.

    The conclusion is that proc_do_xprt doesn't check for userside buffer
    size indeed so fix this by using Ingo's suggestion.

    Commit baa3a2a0d24ebcf1c451bec8e5bee3d3467f4cbb ("sysctl: remove broken
    sunrpc debug binary sysctls"), by removing initialization of the
    ctl_name field, broke this conditional, preventing the display of
    rpc_tasks that you previously got when turning on rpc debugging.

  • baa3a2a0d   sysctl: remove broken sunrpc debug binary sysctls ... Browse Code »

    This is debug code so no need to support binary sysctl, and the binary sysctls
    as they were written were not consistent with what showed up in /proc so
    remove the binary sysctl support.

  • 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.

    Because the sunrpc sysctls don't conflict with any other sysctls the setting
    the insert at head flag to register_sysctl has no semantic meaning.

  • 529b33c6d   [PATCH] RPC: allow RPC client's port range to be adjustable ... Browse Code »

    Select an RPC client source port between 650 and 1023 instead of between
    1 and 800. The old range conflicts with a number of network services.
    Provide sysctls to allow admins to select a different port range.

    Note that this doesn't affect user-level RPC library behavior, which
    still uses 1 to 800.

    Based on a suggestion by Olaf Kirch .

    Test-plan:
    Repeated mount and unmount. Destructive testing. Idle timeouts.

    Test-plan:
    Millions of fsx operations. Performance characterization such as "sio" or
    "iozone". Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily, server
    reboots). Connectathon with v2, v3, and v4.

    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!
