2013-02-19locking: Various static lock initializer fixesThomas Gleixner
The static lock initializers want to be fed the proper name of the lock and not some random string. In mainline random strings are obfuscating the readability of debug output, but for RT they prevent the spinlock substitution. Fix it up. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2013-01-03misc: remove __dev* attributes.Greg Kroah-Hartman
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the last of the __dev* markings from the kernel from a variety of different, tiny, places. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

2012-10-30Return the right error value when dup[23]() newfd argument is too largeAl Viro
Jack Lin reports that the error return from dup3() for the RLIMIT_NOFILE case changed incorrectly after 3.6. The culprit is commit f33ff9927f42 ("take rlimit check to callers of expand_files()") which when it moved the "return -EMFILE" out to the caller, didn't notice that the dup3() had special code to turn the EMFILE return into EBADF.

Similar situation to that of __alloc_fd(); do not use unless you really have to. You should not touch any descriptor table other than your own; it's a sure sign of a really bad API design. As with __alloc_fd(), you *must* use a first-class reference to struct files_struct; something obtained by get_files_struct(some task) (let alone direct task->files) will not do. It must be either current->files, or obtained by get_files_struct(current) by the owner of that sucker and given to you. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-02-19Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longsDavid Howells
Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs and then use the standard non-atomic bit operations rather than the FD_* macros. This: (1) Removes the abuses of struct fd_set: (a) Since we don't want to allocate a full fd_set the vast majority of the time, we actually, in effect, just allocate a just-big-enough array of unsigned longs and cast it to an fd_set type - so why bother with the fd_set at all? (b) Some places outside of the core fdtable handling code (such as SELinux) want to look inside the array of unsigned longs hidden inside the fd_set struct for more efficient iteration over the entire set. (2) Eliminates the use of FD_*() macros in the kernel completely. (3) Permits the __FD_*() macros to be deleted entirely where not exposed to userspace.

2012-02-19Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtableDavid Howells
Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable (for recording open files and close-on-exec flags) so that we can move away from using fd_sets since we abuse the fd_set structs by not allocating the full-sized structure under normal circumstances and by non-core code looking at the internals of the fd_sets. The first abuse means that use of FD_ZERO() on these fd_sets is not permitted, since that cannot be told about their abnormal lengths. This introduces six wrapper functions for setting, clearing and testing close-on-exec flags and fd-is-open flags: void __set_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); void __clear_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); bool close_on_exec(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt); void __set_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); void __clear_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); bool fd_is_open(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt); Note that I've prepended '__' to the names of the set/clear functions because they require the caller to hold a lock to use them. Note also that I haven't added wrappers for looking behind the scenes at the the array. Possibly that should exist too.

2011-04-28vfs: avoid large kmalloc()s for the fdtableAndrew Morton
Azurit reports large increases in system time after 2.6.36 when running Apache. It was bisected down to a892e2d7dcdfa6c76e6 ("vfs: use kmalloc() to allocate fdmem if possible"). That patch caused the vfs to use kmalloc() for very large allocations and this is causing excessive work (and presumably excessive reclaim) within the page allocator. Fix it by falling back to vmalloc() earlier - when the allocation attempt would have been considered "costly" by reclaim.

2008-05-16[PATCH] dup_fd() part 4 - race fixAl Viro
Parent _can_ be a clone task, contrary to the comment. Moreover, more files could be opened while we allocate a copy, in which case we end up copying only part into new descriptor table. Since what we get _is_ affected by all changes in the old range, we can get rather weird effects - e.g. dup2(0, 1024); close(0); in parallel with fork() resulting in child that sees the effect of close(), but not that of dup2() done just before that close(). What we need is to recalculate the open_count after having reacquired ->file_lock and if external fdtable we'd just allocated is too small for it, free the sucker and redo allocation.

2008-02-06get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_openEric Dumazet
NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open more than 1024*1024 handles. Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process. Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential exhaust. This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to 1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload needs it.
