      [XFS] Move memory allocations for log tracing out of the critical path · 31bd61f2
      Lachlan McIlroy 提交于
      Memory allocations for log->l_grant_trace and iclog->ic_trace are done on
      demand when the first event is logged. In xlog_state_get_iclog_space() we
      call xlog_trace_iclog() under a spinlock and allocating memory here can
      cause us to sleep with a spinlock held and deadlock the system.
      
      For the log grant tracing we use KM_NOSLEEP but that means we can lose
      trace entries. Since there is no locking to serialize the log grant
      tracing we could race and have multiple allocations and leak memory.
      
      So move the allocations to where we initialize the log/iclog structures.
      Use KM_NOFS to avoid recursing into the filesystem and drop log->l_trace
      since it's not even used.

      CRED: Introduce credential access wrappers · 9e2b2dc4
      David Howells 提交于
      The patches that are intended to introduce copy-on-write credentials for 2.6.28
      require abstraction of access to some fields of the task structure,
      particularly for the case of one task accessing another's credentials where RCU
      will have to be observed.
      
      Introduced here are trivial no-op versions of the desired accessors for current
      and other tasks so that other subsystems can start to be converted over more
      easily.
      
      Wrappers are introduced into a new header (linux/cred.h) for UID/GID,
      EUID/EGID, SUID/SGID, FSUID/FSGID, cap_effective and current's subscribed
      user_struct.  These wrappers are macros because the ordering between header
      files mitigates against making them inline functions.
      
      linux/cred.h is #included from linux/sched.h.
      
      Further, XFS is modified such that it no longer defines and uses parameterised
      versions of current_fs[ug]id(), thus getting rid of the namespace collision
      otherwise incurred.
