2010-08-11DNS: If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached [ver #2]Wang Lei1-0/+4
If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached in the DNS resolver key in lieu of a value. Userspace passes the desired error number as an option in the payload: "#dnserror=<number>" Userspace must map h_errno from the name resolution routines to an appropriate Linux error before passing it up. Something like the following mapping is recommended: [HOST_NOT_FOUND] = ENODATA, [TRY_AGAIN] = EAGAIN, [NO_RECOVERY] = ECONNREFUSED, [NO_DATA] = ENODATA, in lieu of Linux errors specifically for representing name service errors. The filesystem must map these errors appropropriately before passing them to userspace. AFS is made to map ENODATA and EAGAIN to EDESTADDRREQ for the return to userspace; ECONNREFUSED is allowed to stand as is. The error can be seen in /proc/keys as a negative number after the description of the key. Compare, for example, the following key entries: 2f97238c I--Q-- 1 53s 3f010000 0 0 dns_resol afsdb:grand.centrall.org: -61 338bfbbe I--Q-- 1 59m 3f010000 0 0 dns_resol afsdb:grand.central.org: 37 If the error option is supplied in the payload, the main part of the payload is discarded. The key should have an expiry time set by userspace.

2010-08-11signalfd: fill in ssi_int for posix timers and message queuesNathan Lynch1-0/+2
If signalfd is used to consume a signal generated by a POSIX interval timer or POSIX message queue, the ssi_int field does not reflect the data (sigevent->sigev_value) supplied to timer_create(2) or mq_notify(3). (The ssi_ptr field, however, is filled in.) This behavior differs from signalfd's treatment of sigqueue-generated signals -- see the default case in signalfd_copyinfo. It also gives results that differ from the case when a signal is handled conventionally via a sigaction-registered handler. So, set signalfd_siginfo->ssi_int in the remaining cases (__SI_TIMER, __SI_MESGQ) where ssi_ptr is set. akpm: a non-back-compatible change.

2010-08-11blkdev: cgroup whitelist permission fixChris Wright1-4/+6
The cgroup device whitelist code gets confused when trying to grant permission to a disk partition that is not currently open. Part of blkdev_open() includes __blkdev_get() on the whole disk. Basically, the only ways to reliably allow a cgroup access to a partition on a block device when using the whitelist are to 1) also give it access to the whole block device or 2) make sure the partition is already open in a different context. The patch avoids the cgroup check for the whole disk case when opening a partition.

2010-08-11isofs: Fix lseek() to position beyond 4 GBJan Andres1-1/+6
isofs supports files larger than 4 GB by using multi-extent files. However an lseek() to a position beyond 4 GB in such a file will fail with EINVAL, because s_maxbytes in the isofs superblock is initialized to 2^32-1, and generic_file_llseek() checks against that value. I therefore suggest increasing the value of s_maxbytes to have full support for large files in isofs. With multi-extent files, file size is only limited by the maximum size of the file system (8 TB), so this seems a reasonable value for s_maxbytes.

2010-08-11vfs: only add " (deleted)" where necessaryMiklos Szeredi1-10/+22
__d_path() has 4 callers: d_path() sys_getcwd() seq_path_root() tomoyo_realpath_from_path2() Of these the only one which needs the " (deleted)" ending is d_path(). sys_getcwd() checks for existence before calling __d_path(). seq_path_root() is used to show the mountpoint path in /proc/PID/mountinfo, which is always a positive. And tomoyo doesn't want the deleted ending. Create a helper "path_with_deleted()" as subsequent patches will need this in multiple places.

2010-08-11vfs: __d_path: dont prepend the name of the root dentryMiklos Szeredi1-3/+9
In the old times pseudo-filesystems set the name of theroot dentry to some prefix like "pipe:" and the name of the child dentry to "[123]" and relied on a hack in __d_path() to replace the preceding slash with the root's name to get "pipe:[123]". Then the d_dname() dentry operation was introduced which solved the same problem without having to pre-fill the name in each dentry. Currently the following pseudo filesystems exist in the kernel: perfmon mtd anon_inode bdev pipe socket Of these only perfmon, anon_inode, pipe and socket create sub-dentries, all of which have now been switched to using d_dname(). bdev and mtd only create inodes. This means that now the hack to overwrite the slash can be removed, so for unreachable paths (e.g. within a detached mount) the path string won't be polluted with garbage. For these cases a subsequent patch will add a prefix, indicating that the path is unreachable. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2010-08-10tty: Add EXTPROC support for LINEMODEhyc@symas.com1-0/+1
This patch is against the 2.6.34 source. Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com: These are the changes needed for the kernel to support LINEMODE in the server. There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC. When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of what state the user wants the terminal to be in. New ioctl: TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the current process group of the pty. There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit. When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state. Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for any remote terminal protocol, including ssh. The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.

2010-08-09vfs: fix warning: 'dirent' is used uninitialized in this functionKevin Winchester2-8/+10
Using: gcc (GCC) 4.5.0 20100610 (prerelease) The following warnings appear: fs/readdir.c: In function `filldir64': fs/readdir.c:240:15: warning: `dirent' is used uninitialized in this function fs/readdir.c: In function `filldir': fs/readdir.c:155:15: warning: `dirent' is used uninitialized in this function fs/compat.c: In function `compat_filldir64': fs/compat.c:1071:11: warning: `dirent' is used uninitialized in this function fs/compat.c: In function `compat_filldir': fs/compat.c:984:15: warning: `dirent' is used uninitialized in this function The warnings are related to the use of the NAME_OFFSET() macro. Luckily, it appears as though the standard offsetof() macro is what is being implemented by NAME_OFFSET(), thus we can fix the warning and use a more standard code construct at the same time.

2010-08-09mm: avoid resetting wb_start after each writeback roundJan Kara1-2/+3
WB_SYNC_NONE writeback is done in rounds of 1024 pages so that we don't write out some huge inode for too long while starving writeout of other inodes. To avoid livelocks, we record time we started writeback in wbc->wb_start and do not write out inodes which were dirtied after this time. But currently, writeback_inodes_wb() resets wb_start each time it is called thus effectively invalidating this logic and making any WB_SYNC_NONE writeback prone to livelocks. This patch makes sure wb_start is set only once when we start writeback.

2010-08-09oom: deprecate oom_adj tunableDavid Rientjes1-0/+8
/proc/pid/oom_adj is now deprecated so that that it may eventually be removed. The target date for removal is August 2012. A warning will be printed to the kernel log if a task attempts to use this interface. Future warning will be suppressed until the kernel is rebooted to prevent spamming the kernel log.

2010-08-09oom: badness heuristic rewriteDavid Rientjes1-4/+90
This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions. The goal is to make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace. Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's rss and swap space is used instead. This is a better indication of the amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen and subsequently exits. This helps specifically in cases where KDE or GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory hogging task. The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable" memory. "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit. The proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill), roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap space. The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of nodes or mems, respectively. Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory() provides in LSMs. In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of memory, it is generally better to save root's task. Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it. It's not possible to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability. Instead, a new tunable, /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000. It may be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never considered for oom kill while others may always be considered. The value is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset, or sharing the same memory controller. /proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa. Changing one of these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an equivalent meaning. Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as /proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity. This is required so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to be deprecated for future removal.

2010-08-09oom: /proc/<pid>/oom_score treat kernel thread honestlyKOSAKI Motohiro1-2/+3
If a kernel thread is using use_mm(), badness() returns a positive value. This is not a big issue because caller take care of it correctly. But there is one exception, /proc/<pid>/oom_score calls badness() directly and doesn't care that the task is a regular process. Another example, /proc/1/oom_score return !0 value. But it's unkillable. This incorrectness makes administration a little confusing. This patch fixes it.
