2005-09-23	[PATCH] RPC: Eliminate socket.h includes in RPC client	Chuck Lever	1	-1/+0
	Clean-up: get rid of unnecessary socket.h and in.h includes in the generic parts of the RPC client. Test-plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled. Version: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 16:06:23 -0400 Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2005-09-07	[PATCH] sunrpc: cache_register can use wrong module reference	Bruce Allan	1	-2/+4
	When registering an RPC cache, cache_register() always sets the owner as the sunrpc module. However, there are RPC caches owned by other modules. With the incorrect owner setting, the real owning module can be removed potentially with an open reference to the cache from userspace. For example, if one were to stop the nfs server and unmount the nfsd filesystem, the nfsd module could be removed eventhough rpc.idmapd had references to the idtoname and nametoid caches (i.e. /proc/net/rpc/nfs4.<cachename>/channel is still open). This resulted in a system panic on one of our machines when attempting to restart the nfs services after reloading the nfsd module. The following patch adds a 'struct module *owner' field in struct cache_detail. The owner is further assigned to the struct proc_dir_entry in cache_register() so that the module cannot be unloaded while user-space daemons have an open reference on the associated file under /proc.

2005-06-24	[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: fix probe_callback	NeilBrown	1	-0/+1
	rpc_create_client was modified recently to do its own (synchronous) NULL ping of the server. We'd rather do that on our own, asynchronously, so that we don't have to block the nfsd thread doing the probe, and so that setclientid handling (hence, client mounts) can proceed normally whether the callback is succesful or not. (We can still function fine without the callback channel--we just won't be able to give out delegations till it's verified to work.) Signed-off-by: J.

2005-06-22	[PATCH] RPC: Make rpc_create_client() destroy the transport on failure.	Trond Myklebust	1	-1/+0

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+185
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
