This is a preparatory patch for following work. account_pipe_buffers() performs accounting in the 'user_struct'. There is no need to pass a pointer to a 'pipe_inode_info' struct (which is then dereferenced to obtain a pointer to the 'user' field). Instead, pass a pointer directly to the 'user_struct'. This change is needed in preparation for a subsequent patch that the fixes the limit checking in alloc_pipe_info() (and the resulting code is a little more logical).

This is a preparatory patch for following work. Move the F_SETPIPE_SZ limit-checking logic from pipe_fcntl() into pipe_set_size(). This simplifies the code a little, and allows for reworking required in a later patch that fixes the limit checking in pipe_set_size() Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/3701b2c5-2c52-2c3e-226d-29b9deb29b50@gmail.comSigned-off-by: NMichael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: NVegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Cc: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Cc: <socketpair@gmail.com> Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Patch series "pipe: fix limit handling", v2. When changing a pipe's capacity with fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ), various limits defined by /proc/sys/fs/pipe-* files are checked to see if unprivileged users are exceeding limits on memory consumption. While documenting and testing the operation of these limits I noticed that, as currently implemented, these checks have a number of problems: (1) When increasing the pipe capacity, the checks against the limits in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made against existing consumption, and exclude the memory required for the increased pipe capacity. The new increase in pipe capacity can then push the total memory used by the user for pipes (possibly far) over a limit. This can also trigger the problem described next. (2) The limit checks are performed even when the new pipe capacity is less than the existing pipe capacity. This can lead to problems if a user sets a large pipe capacity, and then the limits are lowered, with the result that the user will no longer be able to decrease the pipe capacity. (3) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the limits is done as follows: (a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit. (b) Make new pipe buffer allocation. (c) Account new allocation against the limits. This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a) simultaneously, and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted for only in step (c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer allocation could be pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount, depending on how unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum for spotting this point, which I had missed.] This patch series addresses these three problems. This patch (of 8): This is a minor preparatory patch. After subsequent patches, round_pipe_size() will be called from pipe_set_size(), so place round_pipe_size() above pipe_set_size().

Having this in autofs_i.h gives illusion that uncommenting this enables pr_debug(), but it doesn't enable all the pr_debug() in autofs because inclusion order matters. XFS has the same DEBUG macro in its core header fs/xfs/xfs.h, however XFS seems to have a rule to include this prior to other XFS headers as well as kernel headers. This is not the case with autofs, and DEBUG could be enabled via Makefile, so autofs should just get rid of this comment to make the code less confusing. It's a comment, so there is literally no functional difference.

No functional changes, based on the following justification. 1. Make the code more consistent using the ioctl vector _ioctls[], rather than assigning NULL only for this ioctl command. 2. Remove goto done; for better maintainability in the long run. 3. The existing code is based on the fact that validate_dev_ioctl() sets ioctl version for any command, but AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_VERSION_CMD should explicitly set it regardless of the default behavior.

S_<FOO> uses should be avoided where octal is more intelligible. Linus didst say: : It's *much* easier to parse and understand the octal numbers, while the : symbolic macro names are just random line noise and hard as hell to : understand. You really have to think about it. : : So we should rather go the other way: convert existing bad symbolic : permission bit macro use to just use the octal numbers. : : The symbolic names are good for the *other* bits (ie sticky bit, and the : inode mode _type_ numbers etc), but for the permission bits, the symbolic : names are just insane crap. Nobody sane should ever use them. Not in the : kernel, not in user space.

Today there are platforms with many CPUs (up to 4K). Trying to boot only part of the CPUs may result in too long string. For example lets take NPS platform that is part of arch/arc. This platform have SMP system with 256 cores each with 16 HW threads (SMT machine) where HW thread appears as CPU to the kernel. In this example there is total of 4K CPUs. When one tries to boot only part of the HW threads from each core the string representing the map may be long... For example if for sake of performance we decided to boot only first half of HW threads of each core the map will look like: 0-7,16-23,32-39,...,4080-4087 This patch introduce new syntax to accommodate with such use case. I added an optional postfix to a range of CPUs which will choose according to given modulo the desired range of reminders i.e.: <cpus range>:sed_size/group_size For example, above map can be described in new syntax like this: 0-4095:8/16 Note that this patch is backward compatible with current syntax.

Set "overflow" bit upon encountering it instead of postponing to the end of the conversion. Somehow gcc unwedges itself and generates better code: $ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter ../vmlinux-000 ../obj/vmlinux _parse_integer 177 139 -38 Inspired by patch from Zhaoxiu Zeng.

Make isdigit into a simple range checking inline function: return '0' <= c && c <= '9'; This code is 1 branch, not 2 because any reasonable compiler can optimize this code into SUB+CMP, so the code while (isdigit((c = *s++))) ... remains 1 branch per iteration HOWEVER it suddenly doesn't do table lookup priming cacheline nobody cares about.
