      autofs4: don't make expiring dentry negative · 5f6f4f28
      Ian Kent 提交于
      Correct the error of making a positive dentry negative after it has been
      instantiated.
      
      The code that makes this error attempts to re-use the dentry from a
      concurrent expire and mount to resolve a race and the dentry used for the
      lookup must be negative for mounts to trigger in the required cases.  The
      fact is that the dentry doesn't need to be re-used because all that is
      needed is to preserve the flag that indicates an expire is still
      incomplete at the time of the mount request.
      
      This change uses the the dentry to check the flag and wait for the expire
      to complete then discards it instead of attempting to re-use it.

      pid namespaces: round up the API · a47afb0f
      Pavel Emelianov 提交于
      The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and
      task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking
      at the code for a long time.
      
      The proposals are to
      * equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
        represent that fact,
      * and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
        the common prefix of the same name.
      
      For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
      replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
      are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

      [PATCH] autofs4: fix another race between mount and expire · f50b6f86
      Ian Kent 提交于
      Jeff Moyer has identified a race between mount and expire.
      
      What happens is that during an expire the situation can arise that a directory
      is removed and another lookup is done before the expire issues a completion
      status to the kernel module.  In this case, since the the lookup gets a new
      dentry, it doesn't know that there is an expire in progress and when it posts
      its mount request, matches the existing expire request and waits for its
      completion.  ENOENT is then returned to user space from lookup (as the dentry
      passed in is now unhashed) without having performed the mount request.
      
      The solution used here is to keep track of dentrys in this unhashed state and
      reuse them, if possible, in order to preserve the flags.  Additionally, this
      infrastructure will provide the framework for the reintroduction of caching of
      mount fails removed earlier in development.

      [PATCH] autofs4: NFY_NONE wait race fix · a5370553
      Ian Kent 提交于
      This patch fixes two problems.
      
      First, the comparison of entries in the waitq.c was incorrect.
      
      Second, the NFY_NONE check was incorrect. The test of whether the dentry
      is mounted if ineffective, for example, if an expire fails then we could
      wait forever on a non existant expire. The bug was identified by Jeff
      Moyer.
      
      The patch changes autofs4 to wait on expires only as this is all that's
      needed.  If there is no existing wait when autofs4_wait is call with a type
      of NFY_NONE it delays until either a wait appears or the the expire flag is
      cleared.

      [PATCH] shrink dentry struct · 5160ee6f
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
      UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
      of memory cache lines.
      
      Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
      results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
      (128 + 8 = 136 bytes)
      
      This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
      where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
      memory needs.
      
      At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
      to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.
      
      Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
      the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
      but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)
      
      As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
      worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

      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!
