* [PATCH] remove remaining errno and __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ referencesArnd Bergmann2006-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The last in-kernel user of errno is gone, so we should remove the definition and everything referring to it. This also removes the now-unused lib/execve.c file that was introduced earlier. Also remove every trace of __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ that still remained in the kernel.

* [PATCH] rename the provided execve functions to kernel_execveArnd Bergmann2006-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some architectures provide an execve function that does not set errno, but instead returns the result code directly. Rename these to kernel_execve to get the right semantics there. Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so remove these right away.

Enqueue sockets on the svc_pool corresponding to the CPU on which the socket bh is run (i.e. the NIC interrupt CPU). Threads have their cpu mask set to limit them to the CPUs in the svc_pool that owns them. This is the patch that allows an Altix to scale NFS traffic linearly beyond 4 CPUs and 4 NICs.

The new structure contains a lock which takes over several of the duties of svc_serv->sv_lock, which is now relegated to protecting only sv_tempsocks, sv_permsocks, and sv_tmpcnt in svc_serv. The point is to move the hottest fields out of svc_serv and into svc_pool, allowing a following patch to arrange for a svc_pool per NUMA node or per CPU.

* [PATCH] knfsd: move tempsock aging to a timerGreg Banks2006-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following are 11 patches from Greg Banks which combine to make knfsd more Numa-aware. They reduce hitting on 'global' data structures, and create some data-structures that can be node-local. knfsd threads are bound to a particular node, and the thread to handle a new request is chosen from the threads that are attach to the node that received the interrupt. The distribution of threads across nodes can be controlled by a new file in the 'nfsd' filesystem, though the default approach of an even spread is probably fine for most sites. Some (old) numbers that show the efficacy of these patches: N == number of NICs == number of CPUs == nmber of clients. Number of NUMA nodes == N/2 N Throughput, MiB/s CPU usage, % (max=N*100) Before After Before After --- ------ ---- ----- ----- 4 312 435 350 228 6 500 656 501 418 8 562 804 690 589 This patch: Move the aging of RPC/TCP connection sockets from the main svc_recv() loop to a timer which uses a mark-and-sweep algorithm every 6 minutes. This reduces the amount of work that needs to be done in the main RPC loop and the length of time we need to hold the (effectively global) svc_serv->sv_lock.

To close a socket, the name of the socket - as read from 'portlist' can be written to 'portlist' with a preceding '-'.

* [PATCH] knfsd: remove nfsd_versbits as intermediate storage for desired versionsNeilBrown2006-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have an array 'nfsd_version' which lists the available versions of nfsd, and 'nfsd_versions' (poor choice there :-() which lists the currently active versions. Then we have a bitmap - nfsd_versbits which says which versions are wanted. The bits in this bitset cause content to be copied from nfsd_version to nfsd_versions when nfsd starts. This patch removes nfsd_versbits and moves information directly from nfsd_version to nfsd_versions when requests for version changes arrive. Note that this doesn't make it possible to change versions while the server is running. This is because serv->sv_xdrsize is calculated when a service is created, and used when threads are created, and xdrsize depends on the active versions.

* [PATCH] knfsd: be more selective in which sockets lockd listens onNeilBrown2006-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently lockd listens on UDP always, and TCP if CONFIG_NFSD_TCP is set. However as lockd performs services of the client as well, this is a problem. If CONFIG_NfSD_TCP is not set, and a tcp mount is used, the server will not be able to call back to lockd. So: - add an option to lockd_up saying which protocol is needed - Always open sockets for which an explicit port was given, otherwise only open a socket of the type required - Change nfsd to do one lockd_up per socket rather than one per thread. This - removes the dependancy on CONFIG_NFSD_TCP - means that lockd may open sockets other than at startup - means that lockd will *not* listen on UDP if the only mounts are TCP mount (and nfsd hasn't started). The latter is the only one that concerns me at all - I don't know if this might be a problem with some servers.

* [PATCH] const struct tty_operationsJeff Dike2006-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to be fixed. This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra warnings. 53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

* [PATCH] vt: Make vt_pid a struct pid (making it pid wrap around safe).Eric W. Biederman2006-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I took a good hard look at the locking and it appears the locking on vt_pid is the console semaphore. Every modified path is called under the console semaphore except reset_vc when it is called from fn_SAK or do_SAK both of which appear to be in interrupt context. In addition I need to be careful because in the presence of an oops the console_sem may be arbitrarily dropped. Which leads me to conclude the current locking is inadequate for my needs. Given the weird cases we could hit because of oops printing instead of introducing an extra spin lock to protect the data and keep the pid to signal and the signal to send in sync, I have opted to use xchg on just the struct pid * pointer instead. Due to console_sem we will stay in sync between vt_pid and vt_mode except for a small window during a SAK, or oops handling. SAK handling should kill any user space process that care, and oops handling we are broken anyway. Besides the worst that can happen is that I try to send the wrong signal. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] pid: implement signal functions that take a struct pid *Eric W. Biederman2006-10-02

After all of the users have been update it is my intention to remove the variants that take a pid_t as using pid_t can be more work (an extra hash table lookup) and difficult to get right in the presence of multiple pid namespaces. There are two kinds of functions introduced in this patch. The are the general use functions kill_pgrp and kill_pid which take a priv argument that is ultimately used to create the appropriate siginfo information, Then there are _kill_pgrp_info, kill_pgrp_info, kill_pid_info the internal implementation helpers that take an explicit siginfo.

Currently there is not an iterator that walks through all of the tasks of a given pid type starting with a struct pid. This prevents us replacing some pid_t instances with struct pid.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the last round of cleaning up the pid hash table a more general struct pid was introduced, that can be referenced counted. With the more general struct pid most if not all places where we store a pid_t we can now store a struct pid * and remove the need for a hash table lookup, and avoid any possible problems with pid roll over. Looking forward to the pid namespaces struct pid * gives us an absolute form a pid so we can compare and use them without caring which pid namespace we are in. This patchset introduces the infrastructure needed to use struct pid instead of pid_t, and then it goes on to convert two different kernel users that currently store a pid_t value. There are a lot more places to go but this is enough to get the basic idea. Before we can merge a pid namespace patch all of the kernel pid_t users need to be examined. Those that deal with user space processes need to be converted to using a struct pid *. Those that deal with kernel processes need to converted to using the kthread api. A rare few that only use their current processes pid values get to be left alone. This patch: task_session returns the struct pid of a tasks session. task_pgrp returns the struct pid of a tasks process group. task_tgid returns the struct pid of a tasks thread group. task_pid returns the struct pid of a tasks process id. These can be used to avoid unnecessary hash table lookups, and to implement safe pid comparisions in the face of a pid namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] proc: readdir race fix (take 3)Eric W. Biederman2006-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem: An opendir, readdir, closedir sequence can fail to report process ids that are continually in use throughout the sequence of system calls. For this race to trigger the process that proc_pid_readdir stops at must exit before readdir is called again. This can cause ps to fail to report processes, and it is in violation of posix guarantees and normal application expectations with respect to readdir. Currently there is no way to work around this problem in user space short of providing a gargantuan buffer to user space so the directory read all happens in on system call. This patch implements the normal directory semantics for proc, that guarantee that a directory entry that is neither created nor destroyed while reading the directory entry will be returned. For directory that are either created or destroyed during the readdir you may or may not see them. Furthermore you may seek to a directory offset you have previously seen. These are the guarantee that ext[23] provides and that posix requires, and more importantly that user space expects. Plus it is a simple semantic to implement reliable service. It is just a matter of calling readdir a second time if you are wondering if something new has show up. These better semantics are implemented by scanning through the pids in numerical order and by making the file offset a pid plus a fixed offset. The pid scan happens on the pid bitmap, which when you look at it is remarkably efficient for a brute force algorithm. Given that a typical cache line is 64 bytes and thus covers space for 64*8 == 200 pids. There are only 40 cache lines for the entire 32K pid space. A typical system will have 100 pids or more so this is actually fewer cache lines we have to look at to scan a linked list, and the worst case of having to scan the entire pid bitmap is pretty reasonable. If we need something more efficient we can go to a more efficient data structure for indexing the pids, but for now what we have should be sufficient. In addition this takes no additional locks and is actually less code than what we are doing now. Also another very subtle bug in this area has been fixed. It is possible to catch a task in the middle of de_thread where a thread is assuming the thread of it's thread group leader. This patch carefully handles that case so if we hit it we don't fail to return the pid, that is undergoing the de_thread dance.
