This is a rewrite of the ramdisk block device driver.
The old one is really difficult because it effectively implements a block
device which serves data out of its own buffer cache. It relies on the dirty
bit being set, to pin its backing store in cache, however there are non
trivial paths which can clear the dirty bit (eg. try_to_free_buffers()),
which had recently lead to data corruption. And in general it is completely
wrong for a block device driver to do this.
The new one is more like a regular block device driver. It has no idea about
vm/vfs stuff. It's backing store is similar to the buffer cache (a simple
radix-tree of pages), but it doesn't know anything about page cache (the pages
in the radix tree are not pagecache pages).
There is one slight downside -- direct block device access and filesystem
metadata access goes through an extra copy and gets stored in RAM twice.
However, this downside is only slight, because the real buffercache of the
device is now reclaimable (because we're not playing crazy games with it), so
under memory intensive situations, footprint should effectively be the same --
maybe even a slight advantage to the new driver because it can also reclaim
buffer heads.
The fact that it now goes through all the regular vm/fs paths makes it
much more useful for testing, too.
text data bss dec hex filename
2837 849 384 4070 fe6 drivers/block/rd.o
3528 371 12 3911 f47 drivers/block/brd.o
Text is larger, but data and bss are smaller, making total size smaller.
A few other nice things about it:
- Similar structure and layout to the new loop device handlinag.
- Dynamic ramdisk creation.
- Runtime flexible buffer head size (because it is no longer part of the
ramdisk code).
- Boot / load time flexible ramdisk size, which could easily be extended
to a per-ramdisk runtime changeable size (eg. with an ioctl).
- Can use highmem for the backing store.

Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.
Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.
To make this work, this patch also does the following:
(1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.
(2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
core dumping code.
(3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This
is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch
code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
the core kernel.
(4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
needed) and FRV.
This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.

Some time ago the xxx_vnr() calls (e.g. pid_vnr or find_task_by_vpid) were
_all_ converted to operate on the current pid namespace. After this each call
like xxx_nr_ns(foo, current->nsproxy->pid_ns) is nothing but a xxx_vnr(foo)
one.
Switch all the xxx_nr_ns() callers to use the xxx_vnr() calls where
appropriate.

signal_struct->tsk points to the ->group_leader and thus we have the nasty
code in de_thread() which has to change it and restart ->real_timer if the
leader is changed.
Use "struct pid *leader_pid" instead. This also allows us to kill now
unneeded send_group_sig_info().

Typical PDE creation code looks like:
pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL);
if (pde)
pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops;
Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to
final value. This is a problem because right after creation
a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and
b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's
possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below).
The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are
set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like:
pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops);
if (!pde)
return -ENOMEM;
Fix most networking users for a start.
In the long run, create_proc_entry() for regular files will go.

Long ago when the CLONE_THREAD support first went it someone thought it
would be wise to point /proc/self at /proc/<tgid> instead of /proc/<pid>.
Given that /proc/<tgid> can return information about a very different task
(if enough things have been unshared) then our current process /proc/<tgid>
seems blatantly wrong. So far I have yet to think up an example where the
current behavior would be advantageous, and I can see several places where
it is seriously non-intuitive.
We may be stuck with the current broken behavior for backwards
compatibility reasons but lets try fixing our ancient bug for the 2.6.25
time frame and see if anyone screams.

Currently if you access a /proc that is not mounted with your processes
current pid namespace /proc/self will point at a completely random task.
This patch fixes /proc/self to point to the current process if it is
available in the particular mount of /proc or to return -ENOENT if the
current process is not visible.

Currently (as pointed out by Oleg) do_task_stat has a race when calling
task_pid_nr_ns with the task exiting. In addition do_task_stat is not
currently displaying information in the context of the pid namespace that
mounted the /proc filesystem. So "cut -d' ' -f 1 /proc/<pid>/stat" may not
equal <pid>.
This patch fixes the problem by converting to a single_open seq_file show
method. Getting the pid namespace from the filesystem superblock instead of
current, and simply using the the struct pid from the inode instead of
attempting to get that same pid from the task.

Currently many /proc/pid files use a crufty precursor to the current seq_file
api, and they don't have direct access to the pid_namespace or the pid of for
which they are displaying data.
So implement proc_single_file_operations to make the seq_file routines easy to
use, and to give access to the full state of the pid of we are displaying data
for.

LOCK kernel
LOCK proc_subdir_lock
find PDE
UNLOCK proc_subdir_lock
get inode
LOCK proc_subdir_lock
goto unlock
UNLOCK proc_subdir_lock

We can get rid of LOCK/UNLOCK pair after getting inode simply by jumping
to unlock_kernel() directly.

Trond and Bruce,
This is a patch for 2.6.25. This is the same version that was sent out
on December 12 for review (no comments to date).
To simplify the RPC/RDMA client and server build configuration, make
SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA a hidden config option that continues to depend on
SUNRPC and INFINIBAND. The value of SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA will be:
- N if either SUNRPC or INFINIBAND are N
- M if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are on (M or Y) and at least one is M
- Y if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are Y
In 2.6.25, all of the RPC/RDMA related files are grouped in
net/sunrpc/xprtrdma and the net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/Makefile builds both
the client and server RPC/RDMA support using this config option.

If the inode is flagged as having an invalid mapping, then we can't rely on
the PageUptodate() flag. Ensure that we don't use the "anti-fragmentation"
write optimisation in nfs_updatepage(), since that will cause NFS to write
out areas of the page that are no longer guaranteed to be up to date.
A potential corruption could occur in the following scenario:
client 1 client 2
=============== ===============
fd=open("f",O_CREAT|O_WRONLY,0644);
write(fd,"fubar\n",6); // cache last page
close(fd);
fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
write(fd,"foo\n",4);
close(fd);
fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
write(fd,"bar\n",4);
close(fd);
-----
The bug may lead to the file "f" reading 'fubar\n\0\0\0\nbar\n' because
client 2 does not update the cached page after re-opening the file for
write. Instead it keeps it marked as PageUptodate() until someone calls
invaldate_inode_pages2() (typically by calling read()).

struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all
architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an
a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers,
which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it
just makes the code messy.
Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer
on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof()
instead of hand-coded arithmetic.

Remove the old iget() call and the read_inode() superblock operation it uses
as these are really obsolete, and the use of read_inode() does not produce
proper error handling (no distinction between ENOMEM and EIO when marking an
inode bad).
Furthermore, this removes the temptation to use iget() to find an inode by
number in a filesystem from code outside that filesystem.
iget_locked() should be used instead. A new function is added in an earlier
patch (iget_failed) that is to be called to mark an inode as bad, unlock it
and release it should the get routine fail. Mark iget() and read_inode() as
being obsolete and remove references to them from the documentation.
Typically a filesystem will be modified such that the read_inode function
becomes an internal iget function, for example the following:
void thingyfs_read_inode(struct inode *inode)
{
...
}
would be changed into something like:
struct inode *thingyfs_iget(struct super_block *sp, unsigned long ino)
{
struct inode *inode;
int ret;
inode = iget_locked(sb, ino);
if (!inode)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
if (!(inode->i_state & I_NEW))
return inode;
...
unlock_new_inode(inode);
return inode;
error:
iget_failed(inode);
return ERR_PTR(ret);
}
and then thingyfs_iget() would be called rather than iget(), for example:
ret = -EINVAL;
inode = iget(sb, ino);
if (!inode || is_bad_inode(inode))
goto error;
becomes:
inode = thingyfs_iget(sb, ino);
if (IS_ERR(inode)) {
ret = PTR_ERR(inode);
goto error;
}
Note that is_bad_inode() does not need to be called. The error returned by
thingyfs_iget() should render it unnecessary.

Stop the HPPFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Provide an
hppfs_iget(), and call that instead of iget(). hppfs_iget() then uses
iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code instead of an inode in
the event of an error.
hppfs_fill_sb_common() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.
Note that the contents of hppfs_kern.c need to be examined:
(*) The HPPFS inode retains a pointer to the proc dentry it is shadowing, but
whilst it does appear to retain a reference to it, it doesn't appear to
destroy the reference if the inode goes away.
(*) hppfs_iget() should perhaps subsume init_inode() and hppfs_read_inode().
(*) It would appear that all hppfs inodes are the same inode because iget()
was being called with inode number 0, which forms the lookup key.
