      [PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros · 46a82b2d
      Dave McCracken 提交于
      One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
      pxx_page macros.  pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
      page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
      have returned the kernel virtual address.  pud_page and pgd_page, on the
      other hand, return the kernel virtual address.
      
      Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
      structures.  There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
      simple to standardize their usage.
      
      Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
      patch.  Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
      pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

      [PATCH] remove set_wmb - arch removal · 52393ccc
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      set_wmb should not be used in the kernel because it just confuses the
      code more and has no benefit.  Since it is not currently used in the
      kernel this patch removes it so that new code does not include it.
      
      All archs define set_wmb(var, value) to do { var = value; wmb(); }
      while(0) except ia64 and sparc which use a mb() instead.  But this is
      still moot since it is not used anyway.
      
      Hasn't been tested on any archs but x86 and x86_64 (and only compiled
      tested)

      [AF_UNIX]: Datagram getpeersec · 877ce7c1
      Catherine Zhang 提交于
      This patch implements an API whereby an application can determine the
      label of its peer's Unix datagram sockets via the auxiliary data mechanism of
      recvmsg.
      
      Patch purpose:
      
      This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the
      security context of the peer of a Unix datagram socket.  The application
      can then use this security context to determine the security context for
      processing on behalf of the peer who sent the packet.
      
      Patch design and implementation:
      
      The design and implementation is very similar to the UDP case for INET
      sockets.  Basically we build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for
      retrieving user credentials.  Linux offers the API for obtaining user
      credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages
      that are bundled together with a normal message).  To retrieve the security
      context, the application first indicates to the kernel such desire by
      setting the SO_PASSSEC option via getsockopt.  Then the application
      retrieves the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism.
      
      An example server application for Unix datagram socket should look like this:
      
      toggle = 1;
      toggle_len = sizeof(toggle);
      
      setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len);
      recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0);
      if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) {
          cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr);
          if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) &&
              cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_SOCKET &&
              cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) {
              memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext));
          }
      }
      
      sock_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option SOCK_PASSSEC to allow
      a server socket to receive security context of the peer.
      
      Testing:
      
      We have tested the patch by setting up Unix datagram client and server
      applications.  We verified that the server can retrieve the security context
      using the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

      [PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFT · c80d79d7
      Yasunori Goto 提交于
      Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for
      each arch.  Its definition is sometimes configurable.  Indeed, ia64 defines 5
      NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree.  But it looks a bit messy.
      
      SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has
      been changeable by config.  Suitable node's number may be changed in the
      future even if it is other architecture.  So, I wrote configurable node's
      number.
      
      This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi
      nodes except ia64.  But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary.
      
      On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2
      config.  But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too.  So, I
      changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT.  It
      would be simpler.

      [PATCH] 2TB files: st_blocks is invalid when calling stat64 · abcb6c9f
      Takashi Sato 提交于
      This patch series fixes the following problems on 32 bits architecture.
      
      o stat64 returns the lower 32 bits of blocks, although userland st_blocks
        has 64 bits, because i_blocks has only 32 bits.  The ioctl with FIOQSIZE has
        the same problem.
      
      o As Dave Kleikamp said, making >2TB file on JFS results in writing an
        invalid block number to disk inode.  The cause is the same as above too.
      
      o In generic quota code dquot_transfer(), the file usage is calculated from
        i_blocks via inode_get_bytes().  If the file is over 2TB, the change of
        usage is less than expected.  The cause is the same as above too.
      
      o As Trond Myklebust said, statfs64's entries related to blocks are invalid
        on statfs64 for a network filesystem which has more than 2^32-1 blocks with
        CONFIG_LBD disabled.  [PATCH 3/3]
      
      We made patches to fix problems that occur when handling a large filesystem
      and a large file.  It was discussed on the mails titled "stat64 for over 2TB
      file returned invalid st_blocks".

      [PATCH] POLLRDHUP/EPOLLRDHUP handling for half-closed devices notifications · f348d70a
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP
      (and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets.  Since the
      existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed
      devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current
      POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few
      places where it makes sense.  The same thing was discussed and conceptually
      agreed quite some time ago:
      
      http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116
      
      Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture,
      even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it.  As far
      as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is.  The
      pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing
      archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files.  The other attached diff
      is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP
      definition.
      
      There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here:
      
       http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c
      
      It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

      [PATCH] madvise MADV_DONTFORK/MADV_DOFORK · f8225661
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the
      user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by
      get_user_pages).  This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent
      writes to that page.  As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of
      get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMA's into
      this page after the COW.  In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting
      the realtime/security benefits of mlock.
      
      In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into
      user pages all the time.
      
      This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited
      across fork.  Useful e.g.  for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these
      pages.  Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks
      by cutting large areas out of consideration.
