-version of ksymoops to decode the report; see REPORTING-BUGS in the
-root of the Linux source for more information.
+If the unthinkable happens and your kernel oopses, you may need the
+ksymoops tool to decode it, but in most cases you don't.
+In the 2.6 kernel it is generally preferred to build the kernel with
+CONFIG_KALLSYMS so that it produces readable dumps that can be used as-is
+(this also produces better output than ksymoops).
+If for some reason your kernel is not build with CONFIG_KALLSYMS and
+you have no way to rebuild and reproduce the Oops with that option, then
+you can still decode that Oops with ksymoops.

+SCSI error handling for tape drives and medium changers
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+The linux SCSI mid layer provides an error handling protocol which
+kicks into gear whenever a SCSI command fails to complete within a
+certain amount of time (which can vary depending on the command).
+The cciss driver participates in this protocol to some extent.  The
+normal protocol is a four step process.  First the device is told
+to abort the command.  If that doesn't work, the device is reset.
+If that doesn't work, the SCSI bus is reset.  If that doesn't work
+the host bus adapter is reset.  Because the cciss driver is a block
+driver as well as a SCSI driver and only the tape drives and medium
+changers are presented to the SCSI mid layer, and unlike more 
+straightforward SCSI drivers, disk i/o continues through the block
+side during the SCSI error recovery process, the cciss driver only
+implements the first two of these actions, aborting the command, and
+resetting the device.  Additionally, most tape drives will not oblige 
+in aborting commands, and sometimes it appears they will not even 
+obey a reset coommand, though in most circumstances they will.  In
+the case that the command cannot be aborted and the device cannot be 
+reset, the device will be set offline.
+
+In the event the error handling code is triggered and a tape drive is
+successfully reset or the tardy command is successfully aborted, the 
+tape drive may still not allow i/o to continue until some command
+is issued which positions the tape to a known position.  Typically you
+must rewind the tape (by issuing "mt -f /dev/st0 rewind" for example)
+before i/o can proceed again to a tape drive which was reset.

+
+
+4) Multiple cards
+--------------------------
+
+If you happen to be running multiple cards, it would be advisable to load
+the bttv module with the card id. This would help to solve any module loading
+problems that you might face.
+
+For example, if you have a Twinhan and Clones card along with a FusionHDTV5 Lite
+
+        $ modprobe bttv card=0x71 card=0x87
+
+Here the order of the card id is important and should be the same as that of the
+physical order of the cards. Here card=0x71 represents the Twinhan and clones
+and card=0x87 represents Fusion HDTV5 Lite. These arguments can also be
+specified in decimal, rather than hex:
+
+        $ modprobe bttv card=113 card=135
+
+Some examples of card-id's
+
+Pinnacle Sat            0x5e  (94)
+Nebula Digi TV          0x68  (104)
+PC HDTV                 0x70  (112)
+Twinhan                 0x71  (113)
+FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite   0x80  (128)
+FusionHDTV5 Lite        0x87  (135)
+
+For a full list of card-id's, see the V4L Documentation within the kernel

+The Framebuffer Console
+=======================
+
+        The framebuffer console (fbcon), as its name implies, is a text
+console running on top of the framebuffer device. It has the functionality of
+any standard text console driver, such as the VGA console, with the added
+features that can be attributed to the graphical nature of the framebuffer.
+
+         In the x86 architecture, the framebuffer console is optional, and
+some even treat it as a toy. For other architectures, it is the only available
+display device, text or graphical.
+
+         What are the features of fbcon?  The framebuffer console supports
+high resolutions, varying font types, display rotation, primitive multihead,
+etc. Theoretically, multi-colored fonts, blending, aliasing, and any feature
+made available by the underlying graphics card are also possible.
+
+A. Configuration
+
+        The framebuffer console can be enabled by using your favorite kernel
+configuration tool.  It is under Device Drivers->Graphics Support->Support for
+framebuffer devices->Framebuffer Console Support. Select 'y' to compile
+support statically, or 'm' for module support.  The module will be fbcon.
+
+        In order for fbcon to activate, at least one framebuffer driver is
+required, so choose from any of the numerous drivers available. For x86
+systems, they almost universally have VGA cards, so vga16fb and vesafb will
+always be available. However, using a chipset-specific driver will give you
+more speed and features, such as the ability to change the video mode
+dynamically.
+
+        To display the penguin logo, choose any logo available in Logo
+Configuration->Boot up logo.
+
+        Also, you will need to select at least one compiled-in fonts, but if
+you don't do anything, the kernel configuration tool will select one for you,
+usually an 8x16 font.
+
+GOTCHA: A common bug report is enabling the framebuffer without enabling the
+framebuffer console.  Depending on the driver, you may get a blanked or
+garbled display, but the system still boots to completion.  If you are
+fortunate to have a driver that does not alter the graphics chip, then you
+will still get a VGA console.
+
+B. Loading
+
+Possible scenarios:
+
+1. Driver and fbcon are compiled statically
+
+         Usually, fbcon will automatically take over your console. The notable
+         exception is vesafb.  It needs to be explicitly activated with the
+         vga= boot option parameter.
+
+2. Driver is compiled statically, fbcon is compiled as a module
+
+         Depending on the driver, you either get a standard console, or a
+         garbled display, as mentioned above.  To get a framebuffer console,
+         do a 'modprobe fbcon'.
+
+3. Driver is compiled as a module, fbcon is compiled statically
+
+         You get your standard console.  Once the driver is loaded with
+         'modprobe xxxfb', fbcon automatically takes over the console with
+         the possible exception of using the fbcon=map:n option. See below.
+
+4. Driver and fbcon are compiled as a module.
+
+         You can load them in any order. Once both are loaded, fbcon will take
+         over the console.
+
+C. Boot options
+
+         The framebuffer console has several, largely unknown, boot options
+         that can change its behavior.
+
+1. fbcon=font:<name>
+
+        Select the initial font to use. The value 'name' can be any of the
+        compiled-in fonts: VGA8x16, 7x14, 10x18, VGA8x8, MINI4x6, RomanLarge,
+        SUN8x16, SUN12x22, ProFont6x11, Acorn8x8, PEARL8x8.
+
+        Note, not all drivers can handle font with widths not divisible by 8,
+        such as vga16fb.
+
+2. fbcon=scrollback:<value>[k]
+
+        The scrollback buffer is memory that is used to preserve display
+        contents that has already scrolled past your view.  This is accessed
+        by using the Shift-PageUp key combination.  The value 'value' is any
+        integer. It defaults to 32KB.  The 'k' suffix is optional, and will
+        multiply the 'value' by 1024.
+
+3. fbcon=map:<0123>
+
+        This is an interesting option. It tells which driver gets mapped to
+        which console. The value '0123' is a sequence that gets repeated until
+        the total length is 64 which is the number of consoles available. In
+        the above example, it is expanded to 012301230123... and the mapping
+        will be:
+
+                tty | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ...
+                fb  | 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 0 ...
+
+                ('cat /proc/fb' should tell you what the fb numbers are)
+
+        One side effect that may be useful is using a map value that exceeds
+        the number of loaded fb drivers. For example, if only one driver is
+        available, fb0, adding fbcon=map:1 tells fbcon not to take over the
+        console.
+
+        Later on, when you want to map the console the to the framebuffer
+        device, you can use the con2fbmap utility.
+
+4. fbcon=vc:<n1>-<n2>
+
+        This option tells fbcon to take over only a range of consoles as
+        specified by the values 'n1' and 'n2'. The rest of the consoles
+        outside the given range will still be controlled by the standard
+        console driver.
+
+        NOTE: For x86 machines, the standard console is the VGA console which
+        is typically located on the same video card.  Thus, the consoles that
+        are controlled by the VGA console will be garbled.
+
+4. fbcon=rotate:<n>
+
+        This option changes the orientation angle of the console display. The
+        value 'n' accepts the following:
+
+              0 - normal orientation (0 degree)
+              1 - clockwise orientation (90 degrees)
+              2 - upside down orientation (180 degrees)
+              3 - counterclockwise orientation (270 degrees)
+
+        The angle can be changed anytime afterwards by 'echoing' the same
+        numbers to any one of the 2 attributes found in
+        /sys/class/graphics/fb{x}
+
+                con_rotate     - rotate the display of the active console
+                con_rotate_all - rotate the display of all consoles
+
+        Console rotation will only become available if Console Rotation
+        Support is compiled in your kernel.
+
+        NOTE: This is purely console rotation.  Any other applications that
+        use the framebuffer will remain at their 'normal'orientation.
+        Actually, the underlying fb driver is totally ignorant of console
+        rotation.

+RCU-based dcache locking model
+==============================
+
+On many workloads, the most common operation on dcache is to look up a
+dentry, given a parent dentry and the name of the child. Typically,
+for every open(), stat() etc., the dentry corresponding to the
+pathname will be looked up by walking the tree starting with the first
+component of the pathname and using that dentry along with the next
+component to look up the next level and so on. Since it is a frequent
+operation for workloads like multiuser environments and web servers,
+it is important to optimize this path.
+
+Prior to 2.5.10, dcache_lock was acquired in d_lookup and thus in
+every component during path look-up. Since 2.5.10 onwards, fast-walk
+algorithm changed this by holding the dcache_lock at the beginning and
+walking as many cached path component dentries as possible. This
+significantly decreases the number of acquisition of
+dcache_lock. However it also increases the lock hold time
+significantly and affects performance in large SMP machines. Since
+2.5.62 kernel, dcache has been using a new locking model that uses RCU
+to make dcache look-up lock-free.
+
+The current dcache locking model is not very different from the
+existing dcache locking model. Prior to 2.5.62 kernel, dcache_lock
+protected the hash chain, d_child, d_alias, d_lru lists as well as
+d_inode and several other things like mount look-up. RCU-based changes
+affect only the way the hash chain is protected. For everything else
+the dcache_lock must be taken for both traversing as well as
+updating. The hash chain updates too take the dcache_lock.  The
+significant change is the way d_lookup traverses the hash chain, it
+doesn't acquire the dcache_lock for this and rely on RCU to ensure
+that the dentry has not been *freed*.
+
+
+Dcache locking details
+======================
+
+For many multi-user workloads, open() and stat() on files are very
+frequently occurring operations. Both involve walking of path names to
+find the dentry corresponding to the concerned file. In 2.4 kernel,
+dcache_lock was held during look-up of each path component. Contention
+and cache-line bouncing of this global lock caused significant
+scalability problems. With the introduction of RCU in Linux kernel,
+this was worked around by making the look-up of path components during
+path walking lock-free.
+
+
+Safe lock-free look-up of dcache hash table
+===========================================
+
+Dcache is a complex data structure with the hash table entries also
+linked together in other lists. In 2.4 kernel, dcache_lock protected
+all the lists. We applied RCU only on hash chain walking. The rest of
+the lists are still protected by dcache_lock.  Some of the important
+changes are :
+
+1. The deletion from hash chain is done using hlist_del_rcu() macro
+   which doesn't initialize next pointer of the deleted dentry and
+   this allows us to walk safely lock-free while a deletion is
+   happening.
+
+2. Insertion of a dentry into the hash table is done using
+   hlist_add_head_rcu() which take care of ordering the writes - the
+   writes to the dentry must be visible before the dentry is
+   inserted. This works in conjunction with hlist_for_each_rcu() while
+   walking the hash chain. The only requirement is that all
+   initialization to the dentry must be done before
+   hlist_add_head_rcu() since we don't have dcache_lock protection
+   while traversing the hash chain. This isn't different from the
+   existing code.
+
+3. The dentry looked up without holding dcache_lock by cannot be
+   returned for walking if it is unhashed. It then may have a NULL
+   d_inode or other bogosity since RCU doesn't protect the other
+   fields in the dentry. We therefore use a flag DCACHE_UNHASHED to
+   indicate unhashed dentries and use this in conjunction with a
+   per-dentry lock (d_lock). Once looked up without the dcache_lock,
+   we acquire the per-dentry lock (d_lock) and check if the dentry is
+   unhashed. If so, the look-up is failed. If not, the reference count
+   of the dentry is increased and the dentry is returned.
+
+4. Once a dentry is looked up, it must be ensured during the path walk
+   for that component it doesn't go away. In pre-2.5.10 code, this was
+   done holding a reference to the dentry. dcache_rcu does the same.
+   In some sense, dcache_rcu path walking looks like the pre-2.5.10
+   version.
+
+5. All dentry hash chain updates must take the dcache_lock as well as
+   the per-dentry lock in that order. dput() does this to ensure that
+   a dentry that has just been looked up in another CPU doesn't get
+   deleted before dget() can be done on it.
+
+6. There are several ways to do reference counting of RCU protected
+   objects. One such example is in ipv4 route cache where deferred
+   freeing (using call_rcu()) is done as soon as the reference count
+   goes to zero. This cannot be done in the case of dentries because
+   tearing down of dentries require blocking (dentry_iput()) which
+   isn't supported from RCU callbacks. Instead, tearing down of
+   dentries happen synchronously in dput(), but actual freeing happens
+   later when RCU grace period is over. This allows safe lock-free
+   walking of the hash chains, but a matched dentry may have been
+   partially torn down. The checking of DCACHE_UNHASHED flag with
+   d_lock held detects such dentries and prevents them from being
+   returned from look-up.
+
+
+Maintaining POSIX rename semantics
+==================================
+
+Since look-up of dentries is lock-free, it can race against a
+concurrent rename operation. For example, during rename of file A to
+B, look-up of either A or B must succeed.  So, if look-up of B happens
+after A has been removed from the hash chain but not added to the new
+hash chain, it may fail.  Also, a comparison while the name is being
+written concurrently by a rename may result in false positive matches
+violating rename semantics.  Issues related to race with rename are
+handled as described below :
+
+1. Look-up can be done in two ways - d_lookup() which is safe from
+   simultaneous renames and __d_lookup() which is not.  If
+   __d_lookup() fails, it must be followed up by a d_lookup() to
+   correctly determine whether a dentry is in the hash table or
+   not. d_lookup() protects look-ups using a sequence lock
+   (rename_lock).
+
+2. The name associated with a dentry (d_name) may be changed if a
+   rename is allowed to happen simultaneously. To avoid memcmp() in
+   __d_lookup() go out of bounds due to a rename and false positive
+   comparison, the name comparison is done while holding the
+   per-dentry lock. This prevents concurrent renames during this
+   operation.
+
+3. Hash table walking during look-up may move to a different bucket as
+   the current dentry is moved to a different bucket due to rename.
+   But we use hlists in dcache hash table and they are
+   null-terminated.  So, even if a dentry moves to a different bucket,
+   hash chain walk will terminate. [with a list_head list, it may not
+   since termination is when the list_head in the original bucket is
+   reached].  Since we redo the d_parent check and compare name while
+   holding d_lock, lock-free look-up will not race against d_move().
+
+4. There can be a theoretical race when a dentry keeps coming back to
+   original bucket due to double moves. Due to this look-up may
+   consider that it has never moved and can end up in a infinite loop.
+   But this is not any worse that theoretical livelocks we already
+   have in the kernel.
+
+
+Important guidelines for filesystem developers related to dcache_rcu
+====================================================================
+
+1. Existing dcache interfaces (pre-2.5.62) exported to filesystem
+   don't change. Only dcache internal implementation changes. However
+   filesystems *must not* delete from the dentry hash chains directly
+   using the list macros like allowed earlier. They must use dcache
+   APIs like d_drop() or __d_drop() depending on the situation.
+
+2. d_flags is now protected by a per-dentry lock (d_lock). All access
+   to d_flags must be protected by it.
+
+3. For a hashed dentry, checking of d_count needs to be protected by
+   d_lock.

+ramfs, rootfs and initramfs
+October 17, 2005
+Rob Landley <rob@landley.net>
+=============================
+
+What is ramfs?
+--------------
+
+Ramfs is a very simple filesystem that exports Linux's disk caching
+mechanisms (the page cache and dentry cache) as a dynamically resizable
+ram-based filesystem.
+
+Normally all files are cached in memory by Linux.  Pages of data read from
+backing store (usually the block device the filesystem is mounted on) are kept
+around in case it's needed again, but marked as clean (freeable) in case the
+Virtual Memory system needs the memory for something else.  Similarly, data
+written to files is marked clean as soon as it has been written to backing
+store, but kept around for caching purposes until the VM reallocates the
+memory.  A similar mechanism (the dentry cache) greatly speeds up access to
+directories.
+
+With ramfs, there is no backing store.  Files written into ramfs allocate
+dentries and page cache as usual, but there's nowhere to write them to.
+This means the pages are never marked clean, so they can't be freed by the
+VM when it's looking to recycle memory.
+
+The amount of code required to implement ramfs is tiny, because all the
+work is done by the existing Linux caching infrastructure.  Basically,
+you're mounting the disk cache as a filesystem.  Because of this, ramfs is not
+an optional component removable via menuconfig, since there would be negligible
+space savings.
+
+ramfs and ramdisk:
+------------------
+
+The older "ram disk" mechanism created a synthetic block device out of
+an area of ram and used it as backing store for a filesystem.  This block
+device was of fixed size, so the filesystem mounted on it was of fixed
+size.  Using a ram disk also required unnecessarily copying memory from the
+fake block device into the page cache (and copying changes back out), as well
+as creating and destroying dentries.  Plus it needed a filesystem driver
+(such as ext2) to format and interpret this data.
+
+Compared to ramfs, this wastes memory (and memory bus bandwidth), creates
+unnecessary work for the CPU, and pollutes the CPU caches.  (There are tricks
+to avoid this copying by playing with the page tables, but they're unpleasantly
+complicated and turn out to be about as expensive as the copying anyway.)
+More to the point, all the work ramfs is doing has to happen _anyway_,
+since all file access goes through the page and dentry caches.  The ram
+disk is simply unnecessary, ramfs is internally much simpler.
+
+Another reason ramdisks are semi-obsolete is that the introduction of
+loopback devices offered a more flexible and convenient way to create
+synthetic block devices, now from files instead of from chunks of memory.
+See losetup (8) for details.
+
+ramfs and tmpfs:
+----------------
+
+One downside of ramfs is you can keep writing data into it until you fill
+up all memory, and the VM can't free it because the VM thinks that files
+should get written to backing store (rather than swap space), but ramfs hasn't
+got any backing store.  Because of this, only root (or a trusted user) should
+be allowed write access to a ramfs mount.
+
+A ramfs derivative called tmpfs was created to add size limits, and the ability
+to write the data to swap space.  Normal users can be allowed write access to
+tmpfs mounts.  See Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt for more information.
+
+What is rootfs?
+---------------
+
+Rootfs is a special instance of ramfs, which is always present in 2.6 systems.
+(It's used internally as the starting and stopping point for searches of the
+kernel's doubly-linked list of mount points.)
+
+Most systems just mount another filesystem over it and ignore it.  The
+amount of space an empty instance of ramfs takes up is tiny.
+
+What is initramfs?
+------------------
+
+All 2.6 Linux kernels contain a gzipped "cpio" format archive, which is
+extracted into rootfs when the kernel boots up.  After extracting, the kernel
+checks to see if rootfs contains a file "init", and if so it executes it as PID
+1.  If found, this init process is responsible for bringing the system the
+rest of the way up, including locating and mounting the real root device (if
+any).  If rootfs does not contain an init program after the embedded cpio
+archive is extracted into it, the kernel will fall through to the older code
+to locate and mount a root partition, then exec some variant of /sbin/init
+out of that.
+
+All this differs from the old initrd in several ways:
+
+  - The old initrd was a separate file, while the initramfs archive is linked
+    into the linux kernel image.  (The directory linux-*/usr is devoted to
+    generating this archive during the build.)
+
+  - The old initrd file was a gzipped filesystem image (in some file format,
+    such as ext2, that had to be built into the kernel), while the new
+    initramfs archive is a gzipped cpio archive (like tar only simpler,
+    see cpio(1) and Documentation/early-userspace/buffer-format.txt).
+
+  - The program run by the old initrd (which was called /initrd, not /init) did
+    some setup and then returned to the kernel, while the init program from
+    initramfs is not expected to return to the kernel.  (If /init needs to hand
+    off control it can overmount / with a new root device and exec another init
+    program.  See the switch_root utility, below.)
+
+  - When switching another root device, initrd would pivot_root and then
+    umount the ramdisk.  But initramfs is rootfs: you can neither pivot_root
+    rootfs, nor unmount it.  Instead delete everything out of rootfs to
+    free up the space (find -xdev / -exec rm '{}' ';'), overmount rootfs
+    with the new root (cd /newmount; mount --move . /; chroot .), attach
+    stdin/stdout/stderr to the new /dev/console, and exec the new init.
+
+    Since this is a remarkably persnickity process (and involves deleting
+    commands before you can run them), the klibc package introduced a helper
+    program (utils/run_init.c) to do all this for you.  Most other packages
+    (such as busybox) have named this command "switch_root".
+
+Populating initramfs:
+---------------------
+
+The 2.6 kernel build process always creates a gzipped cpio format initramfs
+archive and links it into the resulting kernel binary.  By default, this
+archive is empty (consuming 134 bytes on x86).  The config option
+CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE (for some reason buried under devices->block devices
+in menuconfig, and living in usr/Kconfig) can be used to specify a source for
+the initramfs archive, which will automatically be incorporated into the
+resulting binary.  This option can point to an existing gzipped cpio archive, a
+directory containing files to be archived, or a text file specification such
+as the following example:
+
+  dir /dev 755 0 0
+  nod /dev/console 644 0 0 c 5 1
+  nod /dev/loop0 644 0 0 b 7 0
+  dir /bin 755 1000 1000
+  slink /bin/sh busybox 777 0 0
+  file /bin/busybox initramfs/busybox 755 0 0
+  dir /proc 755 0 0
+  dir /sys 755 0 0
+  dir /mnt 755 0 0
+  file /init initramfs/init.sh 755 0 0
+
+One advantage of the text file is that root access is not required to
+set permissions or create device nodes in the new archive.  (Note that those
+two example "file" entries expect to find files named "init.sh" and "busybox" in
+a directory called "initramfs", under the linux-2.6.* directory.  See
+Documentation/early-userspace/README for more details.)
+
+If you don't already understand what shared libraries, devices, and paths
+you need to get a minimal root filesystem up and running, here are some
+references:
+http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/
+http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO.html
+http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/
+
+The "klibc" package (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/klibc) is
+designed to be a tiny C library to statically link early userspace
+code against, along with some related utilities.  It is BSD licensed.
+
+I use uClibc (http://www.uclibc.org) and busybox (http://www.busybox.net)
+myself.  These are LGPL and GPL, respectively.
+
+In theory you could use glibc, but that's not well suited for small embedded
+uses like this.  (A "hello world" program statically linked against glibc is
+over 400k.  With uClibc it's 7k.  Also note that glibc dlopens libnss to do
+name lookups, even when otherwise statically linked.)
+
+Future directions:
+------------------
+
+Today (2.6.14), initramfs is always compiled in, but not always used.  The
+kernel falls back to legacy boot code that is reached only if initramfs does
+not contain an /init program.  The fallback is legacy code, there to ensure a
+smooth transition and allowing early boot functionality to gradually move to
+"early userspace" (I.E. initramfs).
+
+The move to early userspace is necessary because finding and mounting the real
+root device is complex.  Root partitions can span multiple devices (raid or
+separate journal).  They can be out on the network (requiring dhcp, setting a
+specific mac address, logging into a server, etc).  They can live on removable
+media, with dynamically allocated major/minor numbers and persistent naming
+issues requiring a full udev implementation to sort out.  They can be
+compressed, encrypted, copy-on-write, loopback mounted, strangely partitioned,
+and so on.
+
+This kind of complexity (which inevitably includes policy) is rightly handled
+in userspace.  Both klibc and busybox/uClibc are working on simple initramfs
+packages to drop into a kernel build, and when standard solutions are ready
+and widely deployed, the kernel's legacy early boot code will become obsolete
+and a candidate for the feature removal schedule.
+
+But that's a while off yet.

+in the document Documentation/filesystems/Locking.
 
-A Quick Look At How It Works
-============================
 
-In this section I'll briefly describe how things work, before
-launching into the details. I'll start with describing what happens
-when user programs open and manipulate files, and then look from the
-other view which is how a filesystem is supported and subsequently
-mounted.
-
-
-Opening a File
---------------
-
-The VFS implements the open(2), stat(2), chmod(2) and similar system
-calls. The pathname argument is used by the VFS to search through the
-directory entry cache (dentry cache or "dcache"). This provides a very
-fast look-up mechanism to translate a pathname (filename) into a
-specific dentry.
-
-An individual dentry usually has a pointer to an inode. Inodes are the
-things that live on disc drives, and can be regular files (you know:
-those things that you write data into), directories, FIFOs and other
-beasts. Dentries live in RAM and are never saved to disc: they exist
-only for performance. Inodes live on disc and are copied into memory
-when required. Later any changes are written back to disc. The inode
-that lives in RAM is a VFS inode, and it is this which the dentry
-points to. A single inode can be pointed to by multiple dentries
-(think about hardlinks).
-
-The dcache is meant to be a view into your entire filespace. Unlike
-Linus, most of us losers can't fit enough dentries into RAM to cover
-all of our filespace, so the dcache has bits missing. In order to
-resolve your pathname into a dentry, the VFS may have to resort to
-creating dentries along the way, and then loading the inode. This is
-done by looking up the inode.
-
-To look up an inode (usually read from disc) requires that the VFS
-calls the lookup() method of the parent directory inode. This method
-is installed by the specific filesystem implementation that the inode
-lives in. There will be more on this later.
+Directory Entry Cache (dcache)
+------------------------------
 
-Once the VFS has the required dentry (and hence the inode), we can do
-all those boring things like open(2) the file, or stat(2) it to peek
-at the inode data. The stat(2) operation is fairly simple: once the
-VFS has the dentry, it peeks at the inode data and passes some of it
-back to userspace.
+The VFS implements the open(2), stat(2), chmod(2), and similar system
+calls. The pathname argument that is passed to them is used by the VFS
+to search through the directory entry cache (also known as the dentry
+cache or dcache). This provides a very fast look-up mechanism to
+translate a pathname (filename) into a specific dentry. Dentries live
+in RAM and are never saved to disc: they exist only for performance.
+
+The dentry cache is meant to be a view into your entire filespace. As
+most computers cannot fit all dentries in the RAM at the same time,
+some bits of the cache are missing. In order to resolve your pathname
+into a dentry, the VFS may have to resort to creating dentries along
+the way, and then loading the inode. This is done by looking up the
+inode.
+
+
+The Inode Object
+----------------
+
+An individual dentry usually has a pointer to an inode. Inodes are
+filesystem objects such as regular files, directories, FIFOs and other
+beasts.  They live either on the disc (for block device filesystems)
+or in the memory (for pseudo filesystems). Inodes that live on the
+disc are copied into the memory when required and changes to the inode
+are written back to disc. A single inode can be pointed to by multiple
+dentries (hard links, for example, do this).
+
+To look up an inode requires that the VFS calls the lookup() method of
+the parent directory inode. This method is installed by the specific
+filesystem implementation that the inode lives in. Once the VFS has
+the required dentry (and hence the inode), we can do all those boring
+things like open(2) the file, or stat(2) it to peek at the inode
+data. The stat(2) operation is fairly simple: once the VFS has the
+dentry, it peeks at the inode data and passes some of it back to
+userspace.

+The File Object

 Registering and Mounting a Filesystem
--------------------------------------
+=====================================
 
-If you want to support a new kind of filesystem in the kernel, all you
-need to do is call register_filesystem(). You pass a structure
-describing the filesystem implementation (struct file_system_type)
-which is then added to an internal table of supported filesystems. You
-can do:
+To register and unregister a filesystem, use the following API
+functions:
 
-% cat /proc/filesystems
+   #include <linux/fs.h>
 
-to see what filesystems are currently available on your system.
+   extern int register_filesystem(struct file_system_type *);
+   extern int unregister_filesystem(struct file_system_type *);
 
-When a request is made to mount a block device onto a directory in
-your filespace the VFS will call the appropriate method for the
-specific filesystem. The dentry for the mount point will then be
-updated to point to the root inode for the new filesystem.
+The passed struct file_system_type describes your filesystem. When a
+request is made to mount a device onto a directory in your filespace,
+the VFS will call the appropriate get_sb() method for the specific
+filesystem. The dentry for the mount point will then be updated to
+point to the root inode for the new filesystem.
 
-It's now time to look at things in more detail.
+You can see all filesystems that are registered to the kernel in the
+file /proc/filesystems.

-RCU-based dcache locking model
-------------------------------
 
-On many workloads, the most common operation on dcache is
-to look up a dentry, given a parent dentry and the name
-of the child. Typically, for every open(), stat() etc.,
-the dentry corresponding to the pathname will be looked
-up by walking the tree starting with the first component
-of the pathname and using that dentry along with the next
-component to look up the next level and so on. Since it
-is a frequent operation for workloads like multiuser
-environments and web servers, it is important to optimize
-this path.
-
-Prior to 2.5.10, dcache_lock was acquired in d_lookup and thus
-in every component during path look-up. Since 2.5.10 onwards,
-fast-walk algorithm changed this by holding the dcache_lock
-at the beginning and walking as many cached path component
-dentries as possible. This significantly decreases the number
-of acquisition of dcache_lock. However it also increases the
-lock hold time significantly and affects performance in large
-SMP machines. Since 2.5.62 kernel, dcache has been using
-a new locking model that uses RCU to make dcache look-up
-lock-free.
-
-The current dcache locking model is not very different from the existing
-dcache locking model. Prior to 2.5.62 kernel, dcache_lock
-protected the hash chain, d_child, d_alias, d_lru lists as well
-as d_inode and several other things like mount look-up. RCU-based
-changes affect only the way the hash chain is protected. For everything
-else the dcache_lock must be taken for both traversing as well as
-updating. The hash chain updates too take the dcache_lock.
-The significant change is the way d_lookup traverses the hash chain,
-it doesn't acquire the dcache_lock for this and rely on RCU to
-ensure that the dentry has not been *freed*.

-For many multi-user workloads, open() and stat() on files are
-very frequently occurring operations. Both involve walking
-of path names to find the dentry corresponding to the
-concerned file. In 2.4 kernel, dcache_lock was held
-during look-up of each path component. Contention and
-cache-line bouncing of this global lock caused significant
-scalability problems. With the introduction of RCU
-in Linux kernel, this was worked around by making
-the look-up of path components during path walking lock-free.
-
-
-Safe lock-free look-up of dcache hash table
-===========================================
-
-Dcache is a complex data structure with the hash table entries
-also linked together in other lists. In 2.4 kernel, dcache_lock
-protected all the lists. We applied RCU only on hash chain
-walking. The rest of the lists are still protected by dcache_lock.
-Some of the important changes are :
-
-1. The deletion from hash chain is done using hlist_del_rcu() macro which
-   doesn't initialize next pointer of the deleted dentry and this
-   allows us to walk safely lock-free while a deletion is happening.
-
-2. Insertion of a dentry into the hash table is done using
-   hlist_add_head_rcu() which take care of ordering the writes -
-   the writes to the dentry must be visible before the dentry
-   is inserted. This works in conjunction with hlist_for_each_rcu()
-   while walking the hash chain. The only requirement is that
-   all initialization to the dentry must be done before hlist_add_head_rcu()
-   since we don't have dcache_lock protection while traversing
-   the hash chain. This isn't different from the existing code.
-
-3. The dentry looked up without holding dcache_lock by cannot be
-   returned for walking if it is unhashed. It then may have a NULL
-   d_inode or other bogosity since RCU doesn't protect the other
-   fields in the dentry. We therefore use a flag DCACHE_UNHASHED to
-   indicate unhashed  dentries and use this in conjunction with a
-   per-dentry lock (d_lock). Once looked up without the dcache_lock,
-   we acquire the per-dentry lock (d_lock) and check if the
-   dentry is unhashed. If so, the look-up is failed. If not, the
-   reference count of the dentry is increased and the dentry is returned.
-
-4. Once a dentry is looked up, it must be ensured during the path
-   walk for that component it doesn't go away. In pre-2.5.10 code,
-   this was done holding a reference to the dentry. dcache_rcu does
-   the same.  In some sense, dcache_rcu path walking looks like
-   the pre-2.5.10 version.
-
-5. All dentry hash chain updates must take the dcache_lock as well as
-   the per-dentry lock in that order. dput() does this to ensure
-   that a dentry that has just been looked up in another CPU
-   doesn't get deleted before dget() can be done on it.
-
-6. There are several ways to do reference counting of RCU protected
-   objects. One such example is in ipv4 route cache where
-   deferred freeing (using call_rcu()) is done as soon as
-   the reference count goes to zero. This cannot be done in
-   the case of dentries because tearing down of dentries
-   require blocking (dentry_iput()) which isn't supported from
-   RCU callbacks. Instead, tearing down of dentries happen
-   synchronously in dput(), but actual freeing happens later
-   when RCU grace period is over. This allows safe lock-free
-   walking of the hash chains, but a matched dentry may have
-   been partially torn down. The checking of DCACHE_UNHASHED
-   flag with d_lock held detects such dentries and prevents
-   them from being returned from look-up.
-
-
-Maintaining POSIX rename semantics
-==================================
-
-Since look-up of dentries is lock-free, it can race against
-a concurrent rename operation. For example, during rename
-of file A to B, look-up of either A or B must succeed.
-So, if look-up of B happens after A has been removed from the
-hash chain but not added to the new hash chain, it may fail.
-Also, a comparison while the name is being written concurrently
-by a rename may result in false positive matches violating
-rename semantics.  Issues related to race with rename are
-handled as described below :
-
-1. Look-up can be done in two ways - d_lookup() which is safe
-   from simultaneous renames and __d_lookup() which is not.
-   If __d_lookup() fails, it must be followed up by a d_lookup()
-   to correctly determine whether a dentry is in the hash table
-   or not. d_lookup() protects look-ups using a sequence
-   lock (rename_lock).
-
-2. The name associated with a dentry (d_name) may be changed if
-   a rename is allowed to happen simultaneously. To avoid memcmp()
-   in __d_lookup() go out of bounds due to a rename and false
-   positive comparison, the name comparison is done while holding the
-   per-dentry lock. This prevents concurrent renames during this
-   operation.
-
-3. Hash table walking during look-up may move to a different bucket as
-   the current dentry is moved to a different bucket due to rename.
-   But we use hlists in dcache hash table and they are null-terminated.
-   So, even if a dentry moves to a different bucket, hash chain
-   walk will terminate. [with a list_head list, it may not since
-   termination is when the list_head in the original bucket is reached].
-   Since we redo the d_parent check and compare name while holding
-   d_lock, lock-free look-up will not race against d_move().
-
-4. There can be a theoretical race when a dentry keeps coming back
-   to original bucket due to double moves. Due to this look-up may
-   consider that it has never moved and can end up in a infinite loop.
-   But this is not any worse that theoretical livelocks we already
-   have in the kernel.
-
-
-Important guidelines for filesystem developers related to dcache_rcu
-====================================================================
-
-1. Existing dcache interfaces (pre-2.5.62) exported to filesystem
-   don't change. Only dcache internal implementation changes. However
-   filesystems *must not* delete from the dentry hash chains directly
-   using the list macros like allowed earlier. They must use dcache
-   APIs like d_drop() or __d_drop() depending on the situation.
-
-2. d_flags is now protected by a per-dentry lock (d_lock). All
-   access to d_flags must be protected by it.
-
-3. For a hashed dentry, checking of d_count needs to be protected
-   by d_lock.

+     If no raid level has been set yet (array is still being
+     assembled), this file will be empty.
+
+  raid_disks
+     a text file with a simple number indicating the number of devices
+     in a fully functional array.  If this is not yet known, the file
+     will be empty.  If an array is being resized (not currently
+     possible) this will contain the larger of the old and new sizes.
+
+As component devices are added to an md array, they appear in the 'md'
+directory as new directories named
+      dev-XXX
+where XXX is a name that the kernel knows for the device, e.g. hdb1.
+Each directory contains:

+                       shutdown or creation
+       recover       - a hot spare is being built to replace a
+                       failed/missing device
+       idle          - nothing is happening
+       check         - A full check of redundancy was requested and is
+                       happening.  This reads all block and checks
+                       them. A repair may also happen for some raid
+                       levels.
+       repair        - A full check and repair is happening.  This is
+                       similar to 'resync', but was requested by the
+                       user, and the write-intent bitmap is NOT used to
+                       optimise the process.
+
+      This file is writable, and each of the strings that could be
+      read are meaningful for writing.
+
+       'idle' will stop an active resync/recovery etc.  There is no
+           guarantee that another resync/recovery may not be automatically
+           started again, though some event will be needed to trigger
+           this.
+        'resync' or 'recovery' can be used to restart the
+           corresponding operation if it was stopped with 'idle'.
+        'check' and 'repair' will start the appropriate process
+           providing the current state is 'idle'.
+
+   mismatch_count
+      When performing 'check' and 'repair', and possibly when
+      performing 'resync', md will count the number of errors that are
+      found.  The count in 'mismatch_cnt' is the number of sectors
+      that were re-written, or (for 'check') would have been
+      re-written.  As most raid levels work in units of pages rather
+      than sectors, this my be larger than the number of actual errors
+      by a factor of the number of sectors in a page.
+
+Each active md device may also have attributes specific to the
+personality module that manages it.
+These are specific to the implementation of the module and could
+change substantially if the implementation changes.
+

+  stripe_cache_size  (currently raid5 only)
+      number of entries in the stripe cache.  This is writable, but
+      there are upper and lower limits (32768, 16).  Default is 128.
+  strip_cache_active (currently raid5 only)

+
+Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and
+quality checked to ensure that they meet all necessary local and
+governmental regulatory agency requirements for the regions that they
+are designated and/or marked to ship into. Since wireless LANs are
+generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars,
+satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes
+necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid
+interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to
+provide test data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and
+governmental regulations before certification or approval to use the
+product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and
+software driver are designed to carefully control parameters that affect
+radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These
+parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage,
+channel scanning, and human exposure.
+
+For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties
+of the software provided in binary format with the wireless WLAN
+adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any
+patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that
+have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches,
+utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have
+not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be solely responsible for
+ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear
+no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated
+with the modified products, including without limitation, claims under
+the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and
+(iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in providing
+support to any third parties for such modified products.
+
+Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be
+modules, and accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval
+upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and
+system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be
+non-compliant.
+
+The drivers available for download from SourceForge are provided as a
+part of a development project.  Conformance to local regulatory
+requirements is the responsibility of the individual developer.  As
+such, if you are interested in deploying or shipping a driver as part of
+solution intended to be used for purposes other than development, please

+Introduction
+============
+
+Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is an unreliable, connection
+based protocol designed to solve issues present in UDP and TCP particularly
+for real time and multimedia traffic.
+
+It has a base protocol and pluggable congestion control IDs (CCIDs).
+
+It is at draft RFC status and the homepage for DCCP as a protocol is at:
+        http://www.icir.org/kohler/dcp/
+
+Missing features
+================
+
+The DCCP implementation does not currently have all the features that are in
+the draft RFC.
+
+In particular the following are missing:
+- CCID2 support
+- feature negotiation
+
+When testing against other implementations it appears that elapsed time
+options are not coded compliant to the specification.
+
+Socket options
+==============
+
+DCCP_SOCKOPT_PACKET_SIZE is used for CCID3 to set default packet size for
+calculations.
+
+DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVICE sets the service. This is compulsory as per the
+specification. If you don't set it you will get EPROTO.
+
+Notes
+=====
+
+SELinux does not yet have support for DCCP. You will need to turn it off or
+else you will get EACCES.
+
+DCCP does not travel through NAT successfully at present. This is because
+the checksum covers the psuedo-header as per TCP and UDP. It should be
+relatively trivial to add Linux NAT support for DCCP.

+        CPU Scheduler implementation hints for architecture specific code
+
+        Nick Piggin, 2005
+
+Context switch
+==============
+1. Runqueue locking
+By default, the switch_to arch function is called with the runqueue
+locked. This is usually not a problem unless switch_to may need to
+take the runqueue lock. This is usually due to a wake up operation in
+the context switch. See include/asm-ia64/system.h for an example.
+
+To request the scheduler call switch_to with the runqueue unlocked,
+you must `#define __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW` in a header file
+(typically the one where switch_to is defined).
+
+Unlocked context switches introduce only a very minor performance
+penalty to the core scheduler implementation in the CONFIG_SMP case.
+
+2. Interrupt status
+By default, the switch_to arch function is called with interrupts
+disabled. Interrupts may be enabled over the call if it is likely to
+introduce a significant interrupt latency by adding the line
+`#define __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW` in the same place as for
+unlocked context switches. This define also implies
+`__ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW`. See include/asm-arm/system.h for an
+example.
+
+
+CPU idle
+========
+Your cpu_idle routines need to obey the following rules:
+
+1. Preempt should now disabled over idle routines. Should only
+   be enabled to call schedule() then disabled again.
+
+2. need_resched/TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only ever set, and will never
+   be cleared until the running task has called schedule(). Idle
+   threads need only ever query need_resched, and may never set or
+   clear it.
+
+3. When cpu_idle finds (need_resched() == 'true'), it should call
+   schedule(). It should not call schedule() otherwise.
+
+4. The only time interrupts need to be disabled when checking
+   need_resched is if we are about to sleep the processor until
+   the next interrupt (this doesn't provide any protection of
+   need_resched, it prevents losing an interrupt).
+
+        4a. Common problem with this type of sleep appears to be:
+                local_irq_disable();
+                if (!need_resched()) {
+                        local_irq_enable();
+                        *** resched interrupt arrives here ***
+                        __asm__("sleep until next interrupt");
+                }
+
+5. TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG can be set by idle routines that do not
+   need an interrupt to wake them up when need_resched goes high.
+   In other words, they must be periodically polling need_resched,
+   although it may be reasonable to do some background work or enter
+   a low CPU priority.
+
+        5a. If TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is set, and we do decide to enter
+            an interrupt sleep, it needs to be cleared then a memory
+            barrier issued (followed by a test of need_resched with
+            interrupts disabled, as explained in 3).
+
+arch/i386/kernel/process.c has examples of both polling and
+sleeping idle functions.
+
+
+Possible arch/ problems
+=======================
+
+Possible arch problems I found (and either tried to fix or didn't):
+
+h8300 - Is such sleeping racy vs interrupts? (See #4a).
+        The H8/300 manual I found indicates yes, however disabling IRQs
+        over the sleep mean only NMIs can wake it up, so can't fix easily
+        without doing spin waiting.
+
+ia64 - is safe_halt call racy vs interrupts? (does it sleep?) (See #4a)
+
+sh64 - Is sleeping racy vs interrupts? (See #4a)
+
+sparc - IRQs on at this point(?), change local_irq_save to _disable.
+      - TODO: needs secondary CPUs to disable preempt (See #1)

+        7) FAQ
+        8) Implementation
+
+
+1) Overview
+-----------
+
+Consider the following situation:
+
+A process wants to clone its own namespace, but still wants to access the CD
+that got mounted recently.  Shared subtree semantics provide the necessary
+mechanism to accomplish the above.
+
+It provides the necessary building blocks for features like per-user-namespace
+and versioned filesystem.
+
+2) Features
+-----------
+
+Shared subtree provides four different flavors of mounts; struct vfsmount to be
+precise
+
+        a. shared mount
+        b. slave mount
+        c. private mount
+        d. unbindable mount
+
+
+2a) A shared mount can be replicated to as many mountpoints and all the
+replicas continue to be exactly same.
+
+        Here is an example:
+
+        Lets say /mnt has a mount that is shared.
+        mount --make-shared /mnt
+
+        note: mount command does not yet support the --make-shared flag.
+        I have included a small C program which does the same by executing
+        'smount /mnt shared'
+
+        #mount --bind /mnt /tmp
+        The above command replicates the mount at /mnt to the mountpoint /tmp
+        and the contents of both the mounts remain identical.
+
+        #ls /mnt
+        a b c
+
+        #ls /tmp
+        a b c
+
+        Now lets say we mount a device at /tmp/a
+        #mount /dev/sd0  /tmp/a
+
+        #ls /tmp/a
+        t1 t2 t2
+
+        #ls /mnt/a
+        t1 t2 t2
+
+        Note that the mount has propagated to the mount at /mnt as well.
+
+        And the same is true even when /dev/sd0 is mounted on /mnt/a. The
+        contents will be visible under /tmp/a too.
+
+
+2b) A slave mount is like a shared mount except that mount and umount events
+        only propagate towards it.
+
+        All slave mounts have a master mount which is a shared.
+
+        Here is an example:
+
+        Lets say /mnt has a mount which is shared.
+        #mount --make-shared /mnt
+
+        Lets bind mount /mnt to /tmp
+        #mount --bind /mnt /tmp
+
+        the new mount at /tmp becomes a shared mount and it is a replica of
+        the mount at /mnt.
+
+        Now lets make the mount at /tmp; a slave of /mnt
+        #mount --make-slave /tmp
+        [or smount /tmp slave]
+
+        lets mount /dev/sd0 on /mnt/a
+        #mount /dev/sd0 /mnt/a
+
+        #ls /mnt/a
+        t1 t2 t3
+
+        #ls /tmp/a
+        t1 t2 t3
+
+        Note the mount event has propagated to the mount at /tmp
+
+        However lets see what happens if we mount something on the mount at /tmp
+
+        #mount /dev/sd1 /tmp/b
+
+        #ls /tmp/b
+        s1 s2 s3
+
+        #ls /mnt/b
+
+        Note how the mount event has not propagated to the mount at
+        /mnt
+
+
+2c) A private mount does not forward or receive propagation.
+
+        This is the mount we are familiar with. Its the default type.
+
+
+2d) A unbindable mount is a unbindable private mount
+
+        lets say we have a mount at /mnt and we make is unbindable
+
+        #mount --make-unbindable /mnt
+         [ smount /mnt  unbindable ]
+
+         Lets try to bind mount this mount somewhere else.
+         # mount --bind /mnt /tmp
+         mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /mnt,
+                or too many mounted file systems
+
+        Binding a unbindable mount is a invalid operation.
+
+
+3) smount command
+
+        Currently the mount command is not aware of shared subtree features.
+        Work is in progress to add the support in mount ( util-linux package ).
+        Till then use the following program.

+
+                smount /mnt rshared
+                the corresponding syntax planned for mount command is

+
+            just to mark a mount /mnt as shared, execute the following

+                the corresponding syntax planned for mount command is
+                mount --make-private /mnt
+
+              NOTE: by default all the mounts are created as private. But if

+
+4) Use cases
+------------
+
+        A) A process wants to clone its own namespace, but still wants to
+           access the CD that got mounted recently.
+
+           Solution:
+
+                The system administrator can make the mount at /cdrom shared
+                mount --bind /cdrom /cdrom
+                mount --make-shared /cdrom
+
+                Now any process that clones off a new namespace will have a
+                mount at /cdrom which is a replica of the same mount in the
+                parent namespace.
+
+                So when a CD is inserted and mounted at /cdrom that mount gets
+                propagated to the other mount at /cdrom in all the other clone
+                namespaces.
+
+        B) A process wants its mounts invisible to any other process, but
+        still be able to see the other system mounts.
+
+           Solution:
+
+                To begin with, the administrator can mark the entire mount tree
+                as shareable.
+
+                mount --make-rshared /
+
+                A new process can clone off a new namespace. And mark some part
+                of its namespace as slave
+
+                mount --make-rslave /myprivatetree
+
+                Hence forth any mounts within the /myprivatetree done by the
+                process will not show up in any other namespace. However mounts
+                done in the parent namespace under /myprivatetree still shows
+                up in the process's namespace.
+
+
+        Apart from the above semantics this feature provides the
+        building blocks to solve the following problems:
+
+        C)  Per-user namespace
+
+                The above semantics allows a way to share mounts across
+                namespaces.  But namespaces are associated with processes. If
+                namespaces are made first class objects with user API to
+                associate/disassociate a namespace with userid, then each user
+                could have his/her own namespace and tailor it to his/her
+                requirements. Offcourse its needs support from PAM.
+
+        D)  Versioned files
+
+                If the entire mount tree is visible at multiple locations, then
+                a underlying versioning file system can return different
+                version of the file depending on the path used to access that
+                file.
+
+                An example is:
+
+                mount --make-shared /
+                mount --rbind / /view/v1
+                mount --rbind / /view/v2
+                mount --rbind / /view/v3
+                mount --rbind / /view/v4
+
+                and if /usr has a versioning filesystem mounted, than that
+                mount appears at /view/v1/usr, /view/v2/usr, /view/v3/usr and
+                /view/v4/usr too
+
+                A user can request v3 version of the file /usr/fs/namespace.c
+                by accessing /view/v3/usr/fs/namespace.c . The underlying
+                versioning filesystem can then decipher that v3 version of the
+                filesystem is being requested and return the corresponding
+                inode.
+
+5) Detailed semantics:
+-------------------
+        The section below explains the detailed semantics of
+        bind, rbind, move, mount, umount and clone-namespace operations.
+
+        Note: the word 'vfsmount' and the noun 'mount' have been used
+        to mean the same thing, throughout this document.
+
+5a) Mount states
+
+        A given mount can be in one of the following states
+        1) shared
+        2) slave
+        3) shared and slave
+        4) private
+        5) unbindable
+
+        A 'propagation event' is defined as event generated on a vfsmount
+        that leads to mount or unmount actions in other vfsmounts.
+
+        A 'peer group' is defined as a group of vfsmounts that propagate
+        events to each other.
+
+        (1) Shared mounts
+
+                A 'shared mount' is defined as a vfsmount that belongs to a
+                'peer group'.
+
+                For example:
+                        mount --make-shared /mnt
+                        mount --bin /mnt /tmp
+
+                The mount at /mnt and that at /tmp are both shared and belong
+                to the same peer group. Anything mounted or unmounted under
+                /mnt or /tmp reflect in all the other mounts of its peer
+                group.
+
+
+        (2) Slave mounts
+
+                A 'slave mount' is defined as a vfsmount that receives
+                propagation events and does not forward propagation events.
+
+                A slave mount as the name implies has a master mount from which
+                mount/unmount events are received. Events do not propagate from
+                the slave mount to the master.  Only a shared mount can be made
+                a slave by executing the following command
+
+                        mount --make-slave mount
+
+                A shared mount that is made as a slave is no more shared unless
+                modified to become shared.
+
+        (3) Shared and Slave
+
+                A vfsmount can be both shared as well as slave.  This state
+                indicates that the mount is a slave of some vfsmount, and
+                has its own peer group too.  This vfsmount receives propagation
+                events from its master vfsmount, and also forwards propagation
+                events to its 'peer group' and to its slave vfsmounts.
+
+                Strictly speaking, the vfsmount is shared having its own
+                peer group, and this peer-group is a slave of some other
+                peer group.
+
+                Only a slave vfsmount can be made as 'shared and slave' by
+                either executing the following command
+                        mount --make-shared mount
+                or by moving the slave vfsmount under a shared vfsmount.
+
+        (4) Private mount
+
+                A 'private mount' is defined as vfsmount that does not
+                receive or forward any propagation events.
+
+        (5) Unbindable mount
+
+                A 'unbindable mount' is defined as vfsmount that does not
+                receive or forward any propagation events and cannot
+                be bind mounted.
+
+
+        State diagram:
+        The state diagram below explains the state transition of a mount,
+        in response to various commands.

+        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+        * if the shared mount is the only mount in its peer group, making it
+        slave, makes it private automatically. Note that there is no master to
+        which it can be slaved to.
+
+        ** slaving a non-shared mount has no effect on the mount.
+
+        Apart from the commands listed below, the 'move' operation also changes
+        the state of a mount depending on type of the destination mount. Its
+        explained in section 5d.
+
+5b) Bind semantics
+
+        Consider the following command
+
+        mount --bind A/a  B/b
+
+        where 'A' is the source mount, 'a' is the dentry in the mount 'A', 'B'
+        is the destination mount and 'b' is the dentry in the destination mount.
+
+        The outcome depends on the type of mount of 'A' and 'B'. The table
+        below contains quick reference.

+   ***************************************************************************
+
+        Details:
+
+        1. 'A' is a shared mount and 'B' is a shared mount. A new mount 'C'
+        which is clone of 'A', is created. Its root dentry is 'a' . 'C' is
+        mounted on mount 'B' at dentry 'b'. Also new mount 'C1', 'C2', 'C3' ...
+        are created and mounted at the dentry 'b' on all mounts where 'B'
+        propagates to. A new propagation tree containing 'C1',..,'Cn' is
+        created. This propagation tree is identical to the propagation tree of
+        'B'.  And finally the peer-group of 'C' is merged with the peer group
+        of 'A'.
+
+        2. 'A' is a private mount and 'B' is a shared mount. A new mount 'C'
+        which is clone of 'A', is created. Its root dentry is 'a'. 'C' is
+        mounted on mount 'B' at dentry 'b'. Also new mount 'C1', 'C2', 'C3' ...
+        are created and mounted at the dentry 'b' on all mounts where 'B'
+        propagates to. A new propagation tree is set containing all new mounts
+        'C', 'C1', .., 'Cn' with exactly the same configuration as the
+        propagation tree for 'B'.
+
+        3. 'A' is a slave mount of mount 'Z' and 'B' is a shared mount. A new
+        mount 'C' which is clone of 'A', is created. Its root dentry is 'a' .
+        'C' is mounted on mount 'B' at dentry 'b'. Also new mounts 'C1', 'C2',
+        'C3' ... are created and mounted at the dentry 'b' on all mounts where
+        'B' propagates to. A new propagation tree containing the new mounts
+        'C','C1',..  'Cn' is created. This propagation tree is identical to the
+        propagation tree for 'B'. And finally the mount 'C' and its peer group
+        is made the slave of mount 'Z'.  In other words, mount 'C' is in the
+        state 'slave and shared'.
+
+        4. 'A' is a unbindable mount and 'B' is a shared mount. This is a
+        invalid operation.
+
+        5. 'A' is a private mount and 'B' is a non-shared(private or slave or
+        unbindable) mount. A new mount 'C' which is clone of 'A', is created.
+        Its root dentry is 'a'. 'C' is mounted on mount 'B' at dentry 'b'.
+
+        6. 'A' is a shared mount and 'B' is a non-shared mount. A new mount 'C'
+        which is a clone of 'A' is created. Its root dentry is 'a'. 'C' is
+        mounted on mount 'B' at dentry 'b'.  'C' is made a member of the
+        peer-group of 'A'.
+
+        7. 'A' is a slave mount of mount 'Z' and 'B' is a non-shared mount. A
+        new mount 'C' which is a clone of 'A' is created. Its root dentry is
+        'a'.  'C' is mounted on mount 'B' at dentry 'b'. Also 'C' is set as a
+        slave mount of 'Z'. In other words 'A' and 'C' are both slave mounts of
+        'Z'.  All mount/unmount events on 'Z' propagates to 'A' and 'C'. But
+        mount/unmount on 'A' do not propagate anywhere else. Similarly
+        mount/unmount on 'C' do not propagate anywhere else.
+
+        8. 'A' is a unbindable mount and 'B' is a non-shared mount. This is a
+        invalid operation. A unbindable mount cannot be bind mounted.
+
+5c) Rbind semantics
+
+        rbind is same as bind. Bind replicates the specified mount.  Rbind
+        replicates all the mounts in the tree belonging to the specified mount.
+        Rbind mount is bind mount applied to all the mounts in the tree.
+
+        If the source tree that is rbind has some unbindable mounts,
+        then the subtree under the unbindable mount is pruned in the new
+        location.
+
+        eg: lets say we have the following mount tree.
+
+                A
+              /   \
+              B   C
+             / \ / \
+             D E F G
+
+             Lets say all the mount except the mount C in the tree are
+             of a type other than unbindable.
+
+             If this tree is rbound to say Z
+
+             We will have the following tree at the new location.
+
+                Z
+                |
+                A'
+               /
+              B'                Note how the tree under C is pruned
+             / \                in the new location.

+5d) Move semantics
+
+        Consider the following command
+
+        mount --move A  B/b
+
+        where 'A' is the source mount, 'B' is the destination mount and 'b' is
+        the dentry in the destination mount.
+
+        The outcome depends on the type of the mount of 'A' and 'B'. The table
+        below is a quick reference.

+   |non-shared| shared        |      private   |    slave       | unbindable |
+   ***************************************************************************
+        NOTE: moving a mount residing under a shared mount is invalid.
+
+      Details follow:
+
+        1. 'A' is a shared mount and 'B' is a shared mount.  The mount 'A' is
+        mounted on mount 'B' at dentry 'b'.  Also new mounts 'A1', 'A2'...'An'
+        are created and mounted at dentry 'b' on all mounts that receive
+        propagation from mount 'B'. A new propagation tree is created in the
+        exact same configuration as that of 'B'. This new propagation tree
+        contains all the new mounts 'A1', 'A2'...  'An'.  And this new
+        propagation tree is appended to the already existing propagation tree
+        of 'A'.
+
+        2. 'A' is a private mount and 'B' is a shared mount. The mount 'A' is
+        mounted on mount 'B' at dentry 'b'. Also new mount 'A1', 'A2'... 'An'
+        are created and mounted at dentry 'b' on all mounts that receive
+        propagation from mount 'B'. The mount 'A' becomes a shared mount and a
+        propagation tree is created which is identical to that of
+        'B'. This new propagation tree contains all the new mounts 'A1',
+        'A2'...  'An'.
+
+        3. 'A' is a slave mount of mount 'Z' and 'B' is a shared mount.  The
+        mount 'A' is mounted on mount 'B' at dentry 'b'.  Also new mounts 'A1',
+        'A2'... 'An' are created and mounted at dentry 'b' on all mounts that
+        receive propagation from mount 'B'. A new propagation tree is created
+        in the exact same configuration as that of 'B'. This new propagation
+        tree contains all the new mounts 'A1', 'A2'...  'An'.  And this new
+        propagation tree is appended to the already existing propagation tree of
+        'A'.  Mount 'A' continues to be the slave mount of 'Z' but it also
+        becomes 'shared'.
+
+        4. 'A' is a unbindable mount and 'B' is a shared mount. The operation
+        is invalid. Because mounting anything on the shared mount 'B' can
+        create new mounts that get mounted on the mounts that receive
+        propagation from 'B'.  And since the mount 'A' is unbindable, cloning
+        it to mount at other mountpoints is not possible.
+
+        5. 'A' is a private mount and 'B' is a non-shared(private or slave or
+        unbindable) mount. The mount 'A' is mounted on mount 'B' at dentry 'b'.
+
+        6. 'A' is a shared mount and 'B' is a non-shared mount.  The mount 'A'
+        is mounted on mount 'B' at dentry 'b'.  Mount 'A' continues to be a
+        shared mount.
+
+        7. 'A' is a slave mount of mount 'Z' and 'B' is a non-shared mount.
+        The mount 'A' is mounted on mount 'B' at dentry 'b'.  Mount 'A'
+        continues to be a slave mount of mount 'Z'.
+
+        8. 'A' is a unbindable mount and 'B' is a non-shared mount. The mount
+        'A' is mounted on mount 'B' at dentry 'b'. Mount 'A' continues to be a
+        unbindable mount.
+
+5e) Mount semantics
+
+        Consider the following command
+
+        mount device  B/b
+
+        'B' is the destination mount and 'b' is the dentry in the destination
+        mount.
+
+        The above operation is the same as bind operation with the exception
+        that the source mount is always a private mount.
+
+
+5f) Unmount semantics
+
+        Consider the following command
+
+        umount A
+
+        where 'A' is a mount mounted on mount 'B' at dentry 'b'.
+
+        If mount 'B' is shared, then all most-recently-mounted mounts at dentry
+        'b' on mounts that receive propagation from mount 'B' and does not have
+        sub-mounts within them are unmounted.
+
+        Example: Lets say 'B1', 'B2', 'B3' are shared mounts that propagate to
+        each other.
+
+        lets say 'A1', 'A2', 'A3' are first mounted at dentry 'b' on mount
+        'B1', 'B2' and 'B3' respectively.
+
+        lets say 'C1', 'C2', 'C3' are next mounted at the same dentry 'b' on
+        mount 'B1', 'B2' and 'B3' respectively.
+
+        if 'C1' is unmounted, all the mounts that are most-recently-mounted on
+        'B1' and on the mounts that 'B1' propagates-to are unmounted.
+
+        'B1' propagates to 'B2' and 'B3'. And the most recently mounted mount
+        on 'B2' at dentry 'b' is 'C2', and that of mount 'B3' is 'C3'.
+
+        So all 'C1', 'C2' and 'C3' should be unmounted.
+
+        If any of 'C2' or 'C3' has some child mounts, then that mount is not
+        unmounted, but all other mounts are unmounted. However if 'C1' is told
+        to be unmounted and 'C1' has some sub-mounts, the umount operation is
+        failed entirely.
+
+5g) Clone Namespace
+
+        A cloned namespace contains all the mounts as that of the parent
+        namespace.
+
+        Lets say 'A' and 'B' are the corresponding mounts in the parent and the
+        child namespace.
+
+        If 'A' is shared, then 'B' is also shared and 'A' and 'B' propagate to
+        each other.
+
+        If 'A' is a slave mount of 'Z', then 'B' is also the slave mount of
+        'Z'.
+
+        If 'A' is a private mount, then 'B' is a private mount too.
+
+        If 'A' is unbindable mount, then 'B' is a unbindable mount too.

+6) Quiz
+
+        A. What is the result of the following command sequence?
+
+                mount --bind /mnt /mnt
+                mount --make-shared /mnt
+                mount --bind /mnt /tmp
+                mount --move /tmp /mnt/1
+
+                what should be the contents of /mnt /mnt/1 /mnt/1/1 should be?
+                Should they all be identical? or should /mnt and /mnt/1 be
+                identical only?
+
+
+        B. What is the result of the following command sequence?
+
+                mount --make-rshared /
+                mkdir -p /v/1
+                mount --rbind / /v/1
+
+                what should be the content of /v/1/v/1 be?
+
+
+        C. What is the result of the following command sequence?
+
+                mount --bind /mnt /mnt
+                mount --make-shared /mnt
+                mkdir -p /mnt/1/2/3 /mnt/1/test
+                mount --bind /mnt/1 /tmp
+                mount --make-slave /mnt
+                mount --make-shared /mnt
+                mount --bind /mnt/1/2 /tmp1
+                mount --make-slave /mnt
+
+                At this point we have the first mount at /tmp and
+                its root dentry is 1. Lets call this mount 'A'
+                And then we have a second mount at /tmp1 with root
+                dentry 2. Lets call this mount 'B'
+                Next we have a third mount at /mnt with root dentry
+                mnt. Lets call this mount 'C'
+
+                'B' is the slave of 'A' and 'C' is a slave of 'B'
+                A -> B -> C
+
+                at this point if we execute the following command
+
+                mount --bind /bin /tmp/test
+
+                The mount is attempted on 'A'
+
+                will the mount propagate to 'B' and 'C' ?
+
+                what would be the contents of
+                /mnt/1/test be?
+
+7) FAQ
+
+        Q1. Why is bind mount needed? How is it different from symbolic links?
+                symbolic links can get stale if the destination mount gets
+                unmounted or moved. Bind mounts continue to exist even if the
+                other mount is unmounted or moved.
+
+        Q2. Why can't the shared subtree be implemented using exportfs?
+
+                exportfs is a heavyweight way of accomplishing part of what
+                shared subtree can do. I cannot imagine a way to implement the
+                semantics of slave mount using exportfs?
+
+        Q3 Why is unbindable mount needed?
+
+                Lets say we want to replicate the mount tree at multiple
+                locations within the same subtree.
+
+                if one rbind mounts a tree within the same subtree 'n' times
+                the number of mounts created is an exponential function of 'n'.
+                Having unbindable mount can help prune the unneeded bind
+                mounts. Here is a example.
+
+                step 1:
+                   lets say the root tree has just two directories with
+                   one vfsmount.
+                                    root
+                                   /    \
+                                  tmp    usr
+
+                    And we want to replicate the tree at multiple
+                    mountpoints under /root/tmp
+
+                step2:
+                      mount --make-shared /root
+
+                      mkdir -p /tmp/m1
+
+                      mount --rbind /root /tmp/m1
+
+                      the new tree now looks like this:
+
+                                    root
+                                   /    \
+                                 tmp    usr
+                                /
+                               m1
+                              /  \
+                             tmp  usr
+                             /
+                            m1
+
+                          it has two vfsmounts
+
+                step3:
+                            mkdir -p /tmp/m2
+                            mount --rbind /root /tmp/m2
+
+                        the new tree now looks like this:
+
+                                      root
+                                     /    \
+                                   tmp     usr
+                                  /    \
+                                m1       m2
+                               / \       /  \
+                             tmp  usr   tmp  usr
+                             / \          /
+                            m1  m2      m1
+                                / \     /  \
+                              tmp usr  tmp   usr
+                              /        / \
+                             m1       m1  m2
+                            /  \
+                          tmp   usr
+                          /  \
+                         m1   m2
+
+                       it has 6 vfsmounts
+
+                step 4:
+                          mkdir -p /tmp/m3
+                          mount --rbind /root /tmp/m3
+
+                          I wont' draw the tree..but it has 24 vfsmounts
+
+
+                at step i the number of vfsmounts is V[i] = i*V[i-1].
+                This is an exponential function. And this tree has way more
+                mounts than what we really needed in the first place.
+
+                One could use a series of umount at each step to prune
+                out the unneeded mounts. But there is a better solution.
+                Unclonable mounts come in handy here.
+
+                step 1:
+                   lets say the root tree has just two directories with
+                   one vfsmount.
+                                    root
+                                   /    \
+                                  tmp    usr
+
+                    How do we set up the same tree at multiple locations under
+                    /root/tmp
+
+                step2:
+                      mount --bind /root/tmp /root/tmp
+
+                      mount --make-rshared /root
+                      mount --make-unbindable /root/tmp
+
+                      mkdir -p /tmp/m1
+
+                      mount --rbind /root /tmp/m1
+
+                      the new tree now looks like this:
+
+                                    root
+                                   /    \
+                                 tmp    usr
+                                /
+                               m1
+                              /  \
+                             tmp  usr
+
+                step3:
+                            mkdir -p /tmp/m2
+                            mount --rbind /root /tmp/m2
+
+                      the new tree now looks like this:
+
+                                    root
+                                   /    \
+                                 tmp    usr
+                                /   \
+                               m1     m2
+                              /  \     / \
+                             tmp  usr tmp usr
+
+                step4:
+
+                            mkdir -p /tmp/m3

+                      the new tree now looks like this:
+
+                                          root
+                                      /           \

+
+8) Implementation
+
+8A) Datastructure
+
+        4 new fields are introduced to struct vfsmount
+        ->mnt_share
+        ->mnt_slave_list
+        ->mnt_slave
+        ->mnt_master
+
+        ->mnt_share links togather all the mount to/from which this vfsmount
+                send/receives propagation events.
+
+        ->mnt_slave_list links all the mounts to which this vfsmount propagates
+                to.
+
+        ->mnt_slave links togather all the slaves that its master vfsmount
+                propagates to.
+
+        ->mnt_master points to the master vfsmount from which this vfsmount
+                receives propagation.
+
+        ->mnt_flags takes two more flags to indicate the propagation status of
+                the vfsmount.  MNT_SHARE indicates that the vfsmount is a shared
+                vfsmount.  MNT_UNCLONABLE indicates that the vfsmount cannot be
+                replicated.
+
+        All the shared vfsmounts in a peer group form a cyclic list through
+        ->mnt_share.
+
+        All vfsmounts with the same ->mnt_master form on a cyclic list anchored
+        in ->mnt_master->mnt_slave_list and going through ->mnt_slave.
+
+         ->mnt_master can point to arbitrary (and possibly different) members
+         of master peer group.  To find all immediate slaves of a peer group
+         you need to go through _all_ ->mnt_slave_list of its members.
+         Conceptually it's just a single set - distribution among the
+         individual lists does not affect propagation or the way propagation
+         tree is modified by operations.
+
+        A example propagation tree looks as shown in the figure below.
+        [ NOTE: Though it looks like a forest, if we consider all the shared
+        mounts as a conceptual entity called 'pnode', it becomes a tree]
+
+
+                        A <--> B <--> C <---> D
+                       /|\            /|      |\
+                      / F G          J K      H I
+                     /
+                    E<-->K
+                        /|\
+                       M L N
+
+        In the above figure  A,B,C and D all are shared and propagate to each
+        other.   'A' has got 3 slave mounts 'E' 'F' and 'G' 'C' has got 2 slave
+        mounts 'J' and 'K'  and  'D' has got two slave mounts 'H' and 'I'.
+        'E' is also shared with 'K' and they propagate to each other.  And
+        'K' has 3 slaves 'M', 'L' and 'N'
+
+        A's ->mnt_share links with the ->mnt_share of 'B' 'C' and 'D'
+
+        A's ->mnt_slave_list links with ->mnt_slave of 'E', 'K', 'F' and 'G'
+
+        E's ->mnt_share links with ->mnt_share of K
+        'E', 'K', 'F', 'G' have their ->mnt_master point to struct
+                                vfsmount of 'A'
+        'M', 'L', 'N' have their ->mnt_master point to struct vfsmount of 'K'
+        K's ->mnt_slave_list links with ->mnt_slave of 'M', 'L' and 'N'
+
+        C's ->mnt_slave_list links with ->mnt_slave of 'J' and 'K'
+        J and K's ->mnt_master points to struct vfsmount of C
+        and finally D's ->mnt_slave_list links with ->mnt_slave of 'H' and 'I'
+        'H' and 'I' have their ->mnt_master pointing to struct vfsmount of 'D'.
+
+
+        NOTE: The propagation tree is orthogonal to the mount tree.
+
+
+8B Algorithm:
+
+        The crux of the implementation resides in rbind/move operation.
+
+        The overall algorithm breaks the operation into 3 phases: (look at
+        attach_recursive_mnt() and propagate_mnt())
+
+        1. prepare phase.
+        2. commit phases.
+        3. abort phases.
+
+        Prepare phase:
+
+        for each mount in the source tree:
+                   a) Create the necessary number of mount trees to
+                        be attached to each of the mounts that receive
+                        propagation from the destination mount.
+                   b) Do not attach any of the trees to its destination.
+                      However note down its ->mnt_parent and ->mnt_mountpoint
+                   c) Link all the new mounts to form a propagation tree that
+                      is identical to the propagation tree of the destination
+                      mount.
+
+                   If this phase is successful, there should be 'n' new
+                   propagation trees; where 'n' is the number of mounts in the
+                   source tree.  Go to the commit phase
+
+                   Also there should be 'm' new mount trees, where 'm' is
+                   the number of mounts to which the destination mount
+                   propagates to.
+
+                   if any memory allocations fail, go to the abort phase.
+
+        Commit phase
+                attach each of the mount trees to their corresponding
+                destination mounts.
+
+        Abort phase
+                delete all the newly created trees.
+
+        NOTE: all the propagation related functionality resides in the file
+        pnode.c

-INTRODUCTION
-
-  The USB Bluetooth driver supports any USB Bluetooth device.
-  It currently works well with the Linux USB Bluetooth stack from Axis 
-  (available at http://developer.axis.com/software/bluetooth/ ) and 
-  has been rumored to work with other Linux USB Bluetooth stacks.
-
-
-CONFIGURATION
-
-  Currently the driver can handle up to 256 different USB Bluetooth 
-  devices at once. 
-
-  If you are not using devfs:
-    The major number that the driver uses is 216 so to use the driver,
-    create the following nodes:
-        mknod /dev/ttyUB0 c 216 0
-        mknod /dev/ttyUB1 c 216 1
-        mknod /dev/ttyUB2 c 216 2
-        mknod /dev/ttyUB3 c 216 3
-                .
-                .
-                .
-        mknod /dev/ttyUB254 c 216 254
-        mknod /dev/ttyUB255 c 216 255
-
-  If you are using devfs:
-    The devices supported by this driver will show up as
-    /dev/usb/ttub/{0,1,...}
-
-  When the device is connected and recognized by the driver, the driver
-  will print to the system log, which node the device has been bound to.
-
-
-CONTACT:
-
-  If anyone has any problems using this driver, please contact me, or 
-  join the Linux-USB mailing list (information on joining the mailing 
-  list, as well as a link to its searchable archive is at 
-  http://www.linux-usb.org/ )
