tiny mq_open optimization

2008-05-03T20:50:33Z

A very small cleanup for mq_open. We do not have to call set_close_on_exit if we create the file descriptor right away with the flag set. We have a function for this now. The resulting code is smaller and a tiny bit faster. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: elevate write count for open()s

2008-04-19T04:29:25Z

This is the first really tricky patch in the series. It elevates the writer count on a mount each time a non-special file is opened for write. We used to do this in may_open(), but Miklos pointed out that __dentry_open() is used as well to create filps. This will cover even those cases, while a call in may_open() would not have. There is also an elevated count around the vfs_create() call in open_namei(). See the comments for more details, but we need this to fix a 'create, remount, fail r/w open()' race. Some filesystems forego the use of normal vfs calls to create struct files. Make sure that these users elevate the mnt writer count because they will get __fput(), and we need to make sure they're balanced.

Pidns: fix badly converted mqueues pid handling

2008-02-08T17:22:29Z

When sending the pid namespaces patches I wrongly converted the tsk->tgid into task_pid_vnr(tsk) in mqueue-s (the git id of this patch is b488893a390edfe027bae7a46e9af8083e740668). The proper behavior is to get the task_tgid_vnr(tsk). This seem to be the only mistake of that kind. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Cc: "Eric W.

Pidns: make full use of xxx_vnr() calls

2008-02-08T17:22:29Z

Some time ago the xxx_vnr() calls (e.g. pid_vnr or find_task_by_vpid) were _all_ converted to operate on the current pid namespace. After this each call like xxx_nr_ns(foo, current->nsproxy->pid_ns) is nothing but a xxx_vnr(foo) one. Switch all the xxx_nr_ns() callers to use the xxx_vnr() calls where appropriate.

ipc: lost unlock and fput in mqueue.c on error path

2007-11-29T17:24:52Z

The error path in sys_mq_getsetattr() after the call to audit_mq_getsetattr() is wrong - the info->lock is not unlocked and the struct file *filp is not put. Fix them both. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Cc: Pierre Peiffer Cc: Nadia Derbey Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[NETLINK]: Fix unicast timeouts

2007-11-07T12:15:12Z

Commit ed6dcf4a in the history.git tree broke netlink_unicast timeouts by moving the schedule_timeout() call to a new function that doesn't propagate the remaining timeout back to the caller. This means on each retry we start with the full timeout again. ipc/mqueue.c seems to actually want to wait indefinitely so this behaviour is retained.

pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to user

2007-10-19T18:53:40Z

This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids. The idea is: - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call; - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids; - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this task's namespace the global one is to be used; - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

sysctl mqueue: remove the binary sysctl numbers

2007-10-18T21:37:22Z

Because of a conflict with FS_INODE_NR none of the binary sysctl numbers use by mqueue, were available to user space. So just remove them. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Cc: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
