This allows userspace to control resync/reshape progress and synchronise it
with other activities, such as shared access in a SAN, or backing up critical
sections during a tricky reshape.
Writing a number of sectors (which must be a multiple of the chunk size if
such is meaningful) causes a resync to pause when it gets to that point.

NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open
more than 1024*1024 handles.
Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high
value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process.
Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential
exhaust.
This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to
1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload
needs it.

The following patch is a generalization of the latency.c implementation done
by Arjan last year. It provides infrastructure for more than one parameter,
and exposes a user mode interface for processes to register pm_qos
expectations of processes.
This interface provides a kernel and user mode interface for registering
performance expectations by drivers, subsystems and user space applications on
one of the parameters.
Currently we have {cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput} as
the initial set of pm_qos parameters.
The infrastructure exposes multiple misc device nodes one per implemented
parameter. The set of parameters implement is defined by pm_qos_power_init()
and pm_qos_params.h. This is done because having the available parameters
being runtime configurable or changeable from a driver was seen as too easy to
abuse.
For each parameter a list of performance requirements is maintained along with
an aggregated target value. The aggregated target value is updated with
changes to the requirement list or elements of the list. Typically the
aggregated target value is simply the max or min of the requirement values
held in the parameter list elements.
>From kernel mode the use of this interface is simple:
pm_qos_add_requirement(param_id, name, target_value):
Will insert a named element in the list for that identified PM_QOS
parameter with the target value. Upon change to this list the new target is
recomputed and any registered notifiers are called only if the target value
is now different.
pm_qos_update_requirement(param_id, name, new_target_value):
Will search the list identified by the param_id for the named list element
and then update its target value, calling the notification tree if the
aggregated target is changed. with that name is already registered.
pm_qos_remove_requirement(param_id, name):
Will search the identified list for the named element and remove it, after
removal it will update the aggregate target and call the notification tree
if the target was changed as a result of removing the named requirement.
>From user mode:
Only processes can register a pm_qos requirement. To provide for
automatic cleanup for process the interface requires the process to register
its parameter requirements in the following way:
To register the default pm_qos target for the specific parameter, the
process must open one of /dev/[cpu_dma_latency, network_latency,
network_throughput]
As long as the device node is held open that process has a registered
requirement on the parameter. The name of the requirement is
"process_<PID>" derived from the current->pid from within the open system
call.
To change the requested target value the process needs to write a s32
value to the open device node. This translates to a
pm_qos_update_requirement call.
To remove the user mode request for a target value simply close the device
node.

Smack is the Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel.
Smack implements mandatory access control (MAC) using labels
attached to tasks and data containers, including files, SVIPC,
and other tasks. Smack is a kernel based scheme that requires
an absolute minimum of application support and a very small
amount of configuration data.
Smack uses extended attributes and
provides a set of general mount options, borrowing technics used
elsewhere. Smack uses netlabel for CIPSO labeling. Smack provides
a pseudo-filesystem smackfs that is used for manipulation of
system Smack attributes.
The patch, patches for ls and sshd, a README, a startup script,
and x86 binaries for ls and sshd are also available on
http://www.schaufler-ca.com
Development has been done using Fedora Core 7 in a virtual machine
environment and on an old Sony laptop.
Smack provides mandatory access controls based on the label attached
to a task and the label attached to the object it is attempting to
access. Smack labels are deliberately short (1-23 characters) text
strings. Single character labels using special characters are reserved
for system use. The only operation applied to Smack labels is equality
comparison. No wildcards or expressions, regular or otherwise, are
used. Smack labels are composed of printable characters and may not
include "/".
A file always gets the Smack label of the task that created it.
Smack defines and uses these labels:
"*" - pronounced "star"
"_" - pronounced "floor"
"^" - pronounced "hat"
"?" - pronounced "huh"
The access rules enforced by Smack are, in order:
1. Any access requested by a task labeled "*" is denied.
2. A read or execute access requested by a task labeled "^"
is permitted.
3. A read or execute access requested on an object labeled "_"
is permitted.
4. Any access requested on an object labeled "*" is permitted.
5. Any access requested by a task on an object with the same
label is permitted.
6. Any access requested that is explicitly defined in the loaded
rule set is permitted.
7. Any other access is denied.
Rules may be explicitly defined by writing subject,object,access
triples to /smack/load.
Smack rule sets can be easily defined that describe Bell&LaPadula
sensitivity, Biba integrity, and a variety of interesting
configurations. Smack rule sets can be modified on the fly to
accommodate changes in the operating environment or even the time
of day.
Some practical use cases:
Hierarchical levels. The less common of the two usual uses
for MLS systems is to define hierarchical levels, often
unclassified, confidential, secret, and so on. To set up smack
to support this, these rules could be defined:
C Unclass rx
S C rx
S Unclass rx
TS S rx
TS C rx
TS Unclass rx
A TS process can read S, C, and Unclass data, but cannot write it.
An S process can read C and Unclass. Note that specifying that
TS can read S and S can read C does not imply TS can read C, it
has to be explicitly stated.
Non-hierarchical categories. This is the more common of the
usual uses for an MLS system. Since the default rule is that a
subject cannot access an object with a different label no
access rules are required to implement compartmentalization.
A case that the Bell & LaPadula policy does not allow is demonstrated
with this Smack access rule:
A case that Bell&LaPadula does not allow that Smack does:
ESPN ABC r
ABC ESPN r
On my portable video device I have two applications, one that
shows ABC programming and the other ESPN programming. ESPN wants
to show me sport stories that show up as news, and ABC will
only provide minimal information about a sports story if ESPN
is covering it. Each side can look at the other's info, neither
can change the other. Neither can see what FOX is up to, which
is just as well all things considered.
Another case that I especially like:
SatData Guard w
Guard Publish w
A program running with the Guard label opens a UDP socket and
accepts messages sent by a program running with a SatData label.
The Guard program inspects the message to ensure it is wholesome
and if it is sends it to a program running with the Publish label.
This program then puts the information passed in an appropriate
place. Note that the Guard program cannot write to a Publish
file system object because file system semanitic require read as
well as write.
The four cases (categories, levels, mutual read, guardbox) here
are all quite real, and problems I've been asked to solve over
the years. The first two are easy to do with traditonal MLS systems
while the last two you can't without invoking privilege, at least
for a while.

Add vm.highmem_is_dirtyable toggle
A 32 bit machine with HIGHMEM64 enabled running DCC has an MMAPed file of
approximately 2Gb size which contains a hash format that is written
randomly by the dbclean process. On 2.6.16 this process took a few
minutes. With lowmem only accounting of dirty ratios, this takes about 12
hours of 100% disk IO, all random writes.
Include a toggle in /proc/sys/vm/highmem_is_dirtyable which can be set to 1 to
add the highmem back to the total available memory count.

A reset function solves three problems:
1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
guest driver without rebooting the guest.
2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and
3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.
So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
feature bits is via reset.
We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
remove function.

The other side (host) can set the NO_NOTIFY flag as an optimization,
to say "no need to kick me when you add things". Make it clear that
this is advisory only; especially that we should always notify when
the ring is full.

Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the
layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended
at the end.
The main driver-visible changes:
1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

I was struggling to get my email-client no to mangle my patch files,
and I didn't find enough information in the SubmittingPatches file.
By looking for more information on the web, I eventually found the
email-clients.txt file, and it answered all my needs
This patch adds a reference to email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches,
and Mozilla related information which is no longer accurate
(as opposed to the details found in email-clients.txt).
This should be helpful for people sending their first patches,
or not sending patches on a frequent basis.

My first guess for "fujitsu" was it might be related to the
fujitsu-laptop.c driver...
Move the frv directory one level up since frv is the name of the
architecture in the Linux kernel.

After seeing the filename I'd have expected something about the
implementation of SMP in the Linux kernel - not some notes on kernel
configuration and building trivialities noone would search at this
place.
