Use kmem_cache_zalloc(), remove large amounts of initialisation code and
ifdeffery.Note: this assumes that memset(*atomic_t, 0) correctly initialises the
atomic_t. This is true for all present archtiectures and if it becomes false
for a future architecture then we'll need to make large changes all over the
place anyway.Acked-by: David Howells

Don't generate the per-UID user and user session keyrings unless they're
explicitly accessed. This solves a problem during a login process whereby
set*uid() is called before the SELinux PAM module, resulting in the per-UID
keyrings having the wrong security labels.This also cures the problem of multiple per-UID keyrings sometimes appearing
due to PAM modules (including pam_keyinit) setuiding and causing user_structs
to come into and go out of existence whilst the session keyring pins the user
keyring. This is achieved by first searching for extant per-UID keyrings
before inventing new ones.The serial bound argument is also dropped from find_keyring_by_name() as it's
not currently made use of (setting it to 0 disables the feature).Signed-off-by: David Howells

There are already 4 error paths in alloc_uid() that do incremental rollbacks.
I think it's time to merge them. This costs us 8 lines of code :)Maybe it would be better to merge this patch with the previous one, but I

cleaning it), but I was told to make two patches in such cases.Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov

kernel_kset does not need to be a kset, but a much simpler kobject now

Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman -
Clean up the use of ksets and kobjects. Kobjects are instances of
objects (like struct user_info), ksets are collections of objects of a
similar type (like the uids directory containing the user_info directories).
So, use kobjects for the user_info directories, and a kset for the "uids"
directory.On object cleanup, the final kobject_put() was missing.

It turned out, that the user namespace is released during the do_exit() in
exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct user_struct is released only during the
put_task_struct(), i.e. MUCH later.On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the oops in
uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain, which resides inside the
struct user_namespace, will be already freed and poisoned.Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone can search it, i.e.
when the namespace is alive, we can safely unhash all the user_struct-s from
it during the namespace exiting. The subsequent free_uid() will complete the
user_struct destruction.For example simple program
#include
char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024];
int f(void *foo)
{
return 0;
}int main(void)
{
clone(f, stack + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 0x10000000, 0);
return 0;
}run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the
kernel immediately.This was spotted during OpenVZ kernel testing.

BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them

about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

Basically, it will allow a process to unshare its user_struct table,
resetting at the same time its own user_struct and all the associated
accounting.A new root user (uid == 0) is added to the user namespace upon creation.
Such root users have full privileges and it seems that theses privileges
should be controlled through some means (process capabilities ?)The unshare is not included in this patch.

get_user_ns to return the namespace.Changes since [try #3]:

There's a possible race condition when doing a "switch_uid()" from one
user to another, which could race with another thread doing a signal
allocation and looking at the old thread ->user pointer as it is freed.This explains an oops reported by Lukasz Trabinski:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/462241We fix this by delaying the (reference-counted) freeing of the user
structure until the thread signal handler lock has been released, so
that we know that the signal allocation has either seen the new value or
has properly incremented the reference count of the old one.Race identified by Oleg Nesterov.

The following series of patches introduces a kernel API for inotify,
making it possible for kernel modules to benefit from inotify's
mechanism for watching inodes. With these patches, inotify will
maintain for each caller a list of watches (via an embedded struct
inotify_watch), where each inotify_watch is associated with a
corresponding struct inode. The caller registers an event handler and
specifies for which filesystem events their event handler should be
called per inotify_watch.Signed-off-by: Amy Griffis

inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:* dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
* dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
stat structures.
* dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals?inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:* inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
* inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
you were watching is on was unmounted."
* inotify can watch directories or files.Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.

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!
