    Pull VFS updates from Al Viro,

    Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
    create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
    create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and
    seq_file etc).

    7kloc removed.

  • 51eeacaa0   ipc: simplify message copying ... Browse Code »

    Remove the redundant and confusing fill_copy(). Also add copy_msg()
    check for error. In this case exit from the function have to be done
    instead of break, because further code interprets any error as EAGAIN.

    Also define copy_msg() for the case when CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is
    disabled.

  • 4a674f34b   ipc: introduce message queue copy feature ... Browse Code »

    This patch is required for checkpoint/restore in userspace.

    c/r requires some way to get all pending IPC messages without deleting
    them from the queue (checkpoint can fail and in this case tasks will be
    resumed, so queue have to be valid).

    To achive this, new operation flag MSG_COPY for sys_msgrcv() system call
    was introduced. If this flag was specified, then mtype is interpreted as
    number of the message to copy.

    If MSG_COPY is set, then kernel will allocate dummy message with passed
    size, and then use new copy_msg() helper function to copy desired message
    (instead of unlinking it from the queue).

    Notes:

    1) Return -ENOSYS if MSG_COPY is specified, but
    CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is not set.

  • 98f842e67   proc: Usable inode numbers for the namespace file descriptors. ... Browse Code »

    Assign a unique proc inode to each namespace, and use that
    inode number to ensure we only allocate at most one proc
    inode for every namespace in proc.

    A single proc inode per namespace allows userspace to test
    to see if two processes are in the same namespace.

    This has been a long requested feature and only blocked because
    a naive implementation would put the id in a global space and
    would ultimately require having a namespace for the names of
    namespaces, making migration and certain virtualization tricks
    impossible.

    We still don't have per superblock inode numbers for proc, which
    appears necessary for application unaware checkpoint/restart and
    migrations (if the application is using namespace file descriptors)
    but that is now allowd by the design if it becomes important.

    I have preallocated the ipc and uts initial proc inode numbers so
    their structures can be statically initialized.

  • 7eafd7c74   namespaces: ipc namespaces: implement support for posix msqueues ... Browse Code »

    Implement multiple mounts of the mqueue file system, and link it to usage
    of CLONE_NEWIPC.

    Each ipc ns has a corresponding mqueuefs superblock. When a user does
    clone(CLONE_NEWIPC) or unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), the unshare will cause an
    internal mount of a new mqueuefs sb linked to the new ipc ns.

    When a user does 'mount -t mqueue mqueue /dev/mqueue', he mounts the
    mqueuefs superblock.

    Posix message queues can be worked with both through the mq_* system calls
    (see mq_overview(7)), and through the VFS through the mqueue mount. Any
    usage of mq_open() and friends will work with the acting task's ipc
    namespace. Any actions through the VFS will work with the mqueuefs in
    which the file was created. So if a user doesn't remount mqueuefs after
    unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), mq_open("/ab") will not be reflected in "ls
    /dev/mqueue".

    If task a mounts mqueue for ipc_ns:1, then clones task b with a new ipcns,
    ipcns:2, and then task a is the last task in ipc_ns:1 to exit, then (1)
    ipc_ns:1 will be freed, (2) it's superblock will live on until task b
    umounts the corresponding mqueuefs, and vfs actions will continue to
    succeed, but (3) sb->s_fs_info will be NULL for the sb corresponding to
    the deceased ipc_ns:1.

    To make this happen, we must protect the ipc reference count when

    a) a task exits and drops its ipcns->count, since it might be dropping
    it to 0 and freeing the ipcns

    b) a task accesses the ipcns through its mqueuefs interface, since it
    bumps the ipcns refcount and might race with the last task in the ipcns
    exiting.

    So the kref is changed to an atomic_t so we can use
    atomic_dec_and_lock(&ns->count,mq_lock), and every access to the ipcns
    through ns = mqueuefs_sb->s_fs_info is protected by the same lock.

  • 614b84cf4   namespaces: mqueue ns: move mqueue_mnt into struct ipc_namespace ... Browse Code »

    Move mqueue vfsmount plus a few tunables into the ipc_namespace struct.
    The CONFIG_IPC_NS boolean and the ipc_namespace struct will serve both the
    posix message queue namespaces and the SYSV ipc namespaces.

    The sysctl code will be fixed separately in patch 3. After just this
    patch, making a change to posix mqueue tunables always changes the values
    in the initial ipc namespace.

  • 5cbded585   [PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls ... Browse Code »

    Run this:

    #!/bin/sh
    for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
    echo "De-casting $f..."
    perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
    done

    And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
    to non-pointers.

    And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

    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!
