      [PATCH] sunrpc: cache_register can use wrong module reference · f35279d3
      Bruce Allan 提交于
      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.

      [PATCH] nfsd to unlock kernel before exiting · c4f92dba
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The nfsd holds the big kernel lock upon exit, when it really shouldn't.
      Not to mention that this breaks Ingo's RT patch. This is a trivial fix
      to release the lock.
      
      Ingo, this patch also works with your kernel, and stops the problem with
      nfsd.
      
      Note, there's a "goto out;" where "out:" is right above svc_exit_thread.
      The point of the goto also holds the kernel_lock, so I don't see any
      problem here in releasing it.

      [PATCH] inotify · 0eeca283
      Robert Love 提交于
      inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
      its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:
      
              * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
                that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
                open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
              * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
                directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
                the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
                stat structures.
              * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful.  Signals?
      
      inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
      notification:
      
              * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
      	  You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
              * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
                you were watching is on was unmounted."
              * inotify can watch directories or files.
      
      Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
      Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.
