2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2007-02-13[PATCH] Fix SAK_work workqueue initialization.Eric W. Biederman
Somewhere in the rewrite of the work queues my cleanup of SAK handling got broken. Maybe I didn't retest it properly or possibly the API was changing so fast I missed something. Regardless currently triggering a SAK now generates an ugly BUG_ON and kills the kernel. Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@openvz.org> for spotting this. This modifies the use of SAK_work to initialize it when the data structure it resides in is initialized, and to simply call schedule_work when we need to generate a SAK. I update both data structures that have a SAK_work member for consistency. All of the old PREPARE_WORK calls that are now gone. If we call schedule_work again before it has processed it has generated the first SAK it will simply ignore the duplicate schedule_work request. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-12[PATCH] tty: update the tty layer to work with struct pidEric W. Biederman
Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest consumer. But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only lasts until the session leader exits. Which means that no reference counting is required. So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to avoid hash table lookups. In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid spaces mixed everything will work correctly. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-12[PATCH] pid: replace is_orphaned_pgrp with is_current_pgrp_orphanedEric W. Biederman
Every call to is_orphaned_pgrp passed in process_group(current) which is racy with respect to another thread changing our process group. It didn't bite us because we were dealing with integers and the worse we would get would be a stale answer. In switching the checks to use struct pid to be a little more efficient and prepare the way for pid namespaces this race became apparent. So I simplified the calls to the more specialized is_current_pgrp_orphaned so I didn't have to worry about making logic changes to avoid the race. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-12[PATCH] pid: make session_of_pgrp use struct pid instead of pid_tEric W. Biederman
To properly implement a pid namespace I need to deal exclusively in terms of struct pid, because pid_t values become ambiguous. To this end session_of_pgrp is transformed to take and return a struct pid pointer. To avoid the need to worry about reference counting I now require my caller to hold the appropriate locks. Leaving callers repsonsible for increasing the reference count if they need access to the result outside of the locks. Since session_of_pgrp currently only has one caller and that caller simply uses only test the result for equality with another process group, the locking change means I don't actually have to acquire the tasklist_lock at all. tiocspgrp is also modified to take and release the lock. The logic there is a little more complicated but nothing I won't need when I convert pgrp of a tty to a struct pid pointer. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-12[PATCH] tty: make __proc_set_tty staticEric W. Biederman
The aim of this patch set is to start wrapping up the struct pid conversions. As such this patchset culminates with the removal of kill_pg, kill_pg_info, __kill_pg_info, do_each_task_pid, and while_each_task_pid. kill_proc, daemonize, and kernel_thread are still in my sights but there is still work to get to them. The first three are basic cleanups around disassociate_ctty, while working on converting it I found several issues. tty_old_pgrp can be a tricky concept to wrap your head around. 1 tty: Make __proc_set_tty static. 2 tty: Clarify disassociate_ctty 3 tty: Fix the locking for signal->session in disassociate_ctty These just stop using the old helper functions. 4 signal: Use kill_pgrp not kill_pg in the sunos compatibility code. 5 signal: Rewrite kill_something_info so it uses newer helpers. Then the grind to convert the tty layer and all of it's helper functions to struct pid. 6 pid: Make session_of_pgrp use struct pid instead of pid_t. 7 pid: Use struct pid for talking about process groups in exit.c 8 pid: Replace is_orphaned_pgrp with is_current_pgrp_orphaned 9 tty: Update the tty layer to work with struct pid. A final helper function update. 10 pid: Replace do/while_each_task_pid with do/while_each_pid_task And the removal of the functions that are now unused. 11 pid: Remove now unused do_each_task_pid and while_each_task_pid 12 pid: Remove the now unused kill_pg kill_pg_info and __kill_pg_info All of these should be fairly simple and to the point. This patch: Currently all users of __proc_set_tty are in tty_io.c so make the function static. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-11[PATCH] raw: don't allow the creation of a raw device with minor number 0Jeff Moyer
Minor number 0 (under the raw major) is reserved for the rawctl device file, which is used to query, set, and unset raw device bindings. However, the ioctl interface does not protect the user from specifying a raw device with minor number 0: $ sudo ./raw /dev/raw/raw0 /dev/VolGroup00/swap /dev/raw/raw0: bound to major 253, minor 2 $ ls -l /dev/rawctl ls: /dev/rawctl: No such file or directory $ ls -l /dev/raw/raw0 crw------- 1 root root 162, 0 Jan 12 10:51 /dev/raw/raw0 $ sudo ./raw -qa Cannot open master raw device '/dev/rawctl' (No such file or directory) As you can see, this prevents any further raw operations from succeeding. The fix (from Steve Fernandez) is quite simple--do not allow the allocation of minor number 0.

2007-02-11[PATCH] tty: improve encode_baud_rate logicAlan Cox
Mostly so people can see the work in progress. This enhances the encode function which isn't currently used in the base tree but is when using some of the testing tty patches. This resolves a problem with some hardware where applications got confusing information from the tty ioctls. Correct but confusing. In some situations asking for, say, 9600 baud actually gets you 9595 baud or similar near-miss values. With the old code this meant that a request for B9600 got a return of BOTHER, 9595 which programs interpreted as a failure. The new code now works on the following basis - If you ask for specific rate via BOTHER, you get a precise return - If you ask for a standard Bfoo rate and the result is close you get a Bfoo return - If you ask for a standard Bfoo rate and get something way off you get a BOTHER/rate return This seems to fix up the cases I've found where this broke compatibility.

2007-02-11[PATCH] IPMI: Fix some RCU problemsCorey Minyard
Fix some RCU problem pointed out by Paul McKenney of IBM. These are: The wholesale move of the command receivers list into a new list was not safe because the list will point to the new tail during a traversal, so the traversal will never end on a reader if this happens during a read. Memory barriers were needed to handle proper ordering of the setting of the IPMI interface as valid. Readers might not see proper ordering of data otherwise. In ipmi_smi_watcher_register(), the use of the _rcu suffix on the list is unnecessary. This require the list_splice_init_rcu() patch previously posted.
