      [PATCH] saner handling of auto_acct_off() and DQUOT_OFF() in umount · 7b7b1ace
      Al Viro 提交于
      The way we currently deal with quota and process accounting that might
      keep vfsmount busy at umount time is inherently broken; we try to turn
      them off just in case (not quite correctly, at that) and
      
        a) pray umount doesn't fail (otherwise they'll stay turned off)
        b) pray nobody doesn anything funny just as we turn quota off
      
      Moreover, LSM provides hooks for doing the same sort of broken logics.
      
      The proper way to deal with that is to introduce the second kind of
      reference to vfsmount.  Semantics:
      
       - when the last normal reference is dropped, all special ones are
         converted to normal ones and if there had been any, cleanup is done.
       - normal reference can be cloned into a special one
       - special reference can be converted to normal one; that's a no-op if
         we'd already passed the point of no return (i.e.  mntput() had
         converted special references to normal and started cleanup).
      
      The way it works: e.g. starting process accounting converts the vfsmount
      reference pinned by the opened file into special one and turns it back
      to normal when it gets shut down; acct_auto_close() is done when no
      normal references are left.  That way it does *not* obstruct umount(2)
      and it silently gets turned off when the last normal reference to
      vfsmount is gone.  Which is exactly what we want...
      
      The same should be done by LSM module that holds some internal
      references to vfsmount and wants to shut them down on umount - it should
      make them special and security_sb_umount_close() will be called exactly
      when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone.
      
      quota handling is even simpler - we don't use normal file IO anymore, so
      there's no need to hold vfsmounts at all.  DQUOT_OFF() is done from
      deactivate_super(), where it really belongs.

      [PATCH] mm: rss = file_rss + anon_rss · 4294621f
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as
      possible.  So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss
      and in anon_rss.  Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some
      configurations.
      
      Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them
      together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two
      atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics.  And update anon_rss
      upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.

      [PATCH] largefile support for accounting · 6c9c0b52
      Peter Staubach 提交于
      There is a problem in the accounting subsystem in the kernel can not
      correctly handle files larger than 2GB.  The output file containing the
      process accounting data can grow very large if the system is large enough
      and active enough.  If the 2GB limit is reached, then the system simply
      stops storing process accounting data.
      
      Another annoying problem is that once the system reaches this 2GB limit,
      then every process which exits will receive a signal, SIGXFSZ.  This signal
      is generated because an attempt was made to write beyond the limit for the
      file descriptor.  This signal makes it look like every process has exited
      due to a signal, when in fact, they have not.
      
      The solution is to add the O_LARGEFILE flag to the list of flags used to
      open the accounting file.  The rest of the accounting support is already
      largefile safe.
      
      The changes were tested by constructing a large file (just short of 2GB),
      enabling accounting, and then running enough commands to cause the
      accounting data generated to increase the size of the file to 2GB.  Without
      the changes, the file grows to 2GB and the last command run in the test
      script appears to exit due a signal when it has not.  With the changes,
      things work as expected and quietly.
      
      There are some user level changes required so that it can deal with
      largefiles, but those are being handled separately.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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!
