2006-04-02splice: add SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flagLinus Torvalds
It doesn't make the splice itself necessarily nonblocking (because the actual file descriptors that are spliced from/to may block unless they have the O_NONBLOCK flag set), but it makes the splice pipe operations nonblocking. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-31[CIFS] Incorrect signature sent on SMB ReadSteve French
Fixes Samba bug 3621 and kernel.org bug 6147 For servers which require SMB/CIFS packet signing, we were sending the wrong signature (all zeros) on SMB Read request. The new cifs routine to do signatures across an iovec was not complete - and SMB Read, unlike the new SMBWrite2, did not fall back to the older routine (ie use SendReceive vs. the more efficient SendReceive2 ie used the older cifs_sign_smb vs. the disabled cifs_sign_smb2) for calculating signatures. This finishes up cifs_sign_smb2/cifs_calc_signature2 so that the callers of SendReceive2 can get SMB/CIFS packet signatures. Now that cifs_sign_smb2 is supported, we could start using it in the write path but this smaller fix does not include the change to use SMBWrite2 when signatures are required (which when enabled will make more Writes more efficient and alloc less memory). Currently Write2 is only used when signatures are not required at the moment but after more testing we will enable that as well). Thanks to James Slepicka and Sam Flory for initial investigation.

2006-03-31[PATCH] avoid unaligned access when accessing poll stackJes Sorensen
Commit 70674f95c0a2ea694d5c39f4e514f538a09be36f: [PATCH] Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stack resulted in the poll stack being 4-byte aligned on 64-bit architectures, causing misaligned accesses to elements in the array. This patch fixes it by declaring the stack in terms of 'long' instead of 'char'. Force alignment of poll and select stacks to long to avoid unaligned access on 64 bit architectures.

2006-03-31[PATCH] dcache: Add helper d_hash_and_lookupEric W. Biederman
It is very common to hash a dentry and then to call lookup. If we take fs specific hash functions into account the full hash logic can get ugly. Further full_name_hash as an inline function is almost 100 bytes on x86 so having a non-inline choice in some cases can measurably decrease code size. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-03-31[PATCH] fs/locks.c: Fix sys_flock() raceTrond Myklebust
sys_flock() currently has a race which can result in a double free in the multi-thread case. Thread 1 Thread 2 sys_flock(file, LOCK_EX) sys_flock(file, LOCK_UN) If Thread 2 removes the lock from inode->i_lock before Thread 1 tests for list_empty(&lock->fl_link) at the end of sys_flock, then both threads will end up calling locks_free_lock for the same lock. Fix is to make flock_lock_file() do the same as posix_lock_file(), namely to make a copy of the request, so that the caller can always free the lock. This also has the side-effect of fixing up a reference problem in the lockd handling of flock.

IN_DELETE events are no longer generated for the removal of a file from a watched directory.

2006-03-31[PATCH] sys_sync_file_range()Andrew Morton
Remove the recently-added LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE and LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT fadvise() additions, do it in a new sys_sync_file_range() syscall instead. Reasons: - It's more flexible. Things which would require two or three syscalls with fadvise() can be done in a single syscall. - Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX. The patch wires up the syscall for x86. The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c. The intention is that we can move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later. Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c. A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz. The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC. I can skip the ->fsync call for NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common." Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if the queue is congested. This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set wbc->nonblocking. But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation details down to that level. Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing. Same with fsync() and fdatasync()). Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines. It makes such attempts appear to succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility. Perhaps it should make such requests fail...

2006-03-30[PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system callJens Axboe
This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only). From the splice.c comments: "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands. This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other. The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer. Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation bugs.

2006-03-28[PATCH] convert sighand_cache to use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCUOleg Nesterov
This patch borrows a clever Hugh's 'struct anon_vma' trick. Without tasklist_lock held we can't trust task->sighand until we locked it and re-checked that it is still the same. But this means we don't need to defer 'kmem_cache_free(sighand)'. We can return the memory to slab immediately, all we need is to be sure that sighand->siglock can't dissapear inside rcu protected section. To do so we need to initialize ->siglock inside ctor function, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU does the rest.

2006-03-28[PATCH] pidhash: kill switch_exec_pidsEric W. Biederman
switch_exec_pids is only called from de_thread by way of exec, and it is only called when we are exec'ing from a non thread group leader. Currently switch_exec_pids gives the leader the pid of the thread and unhashes and rehashes all of the process groups. The leader is already in the EXIT_DEAD state so no one cares about it's pids. The only concern for the leader is that __unhash_process called from release_task will function correctly. If we don't touch the leader at all we know that __unhash_process will work fine so there is no need to touch the leader. For the task becomming the thread group leader, we just need to give it the pid of the old thread group leader, add it to the task list, and attach it to the session and the process group of the thread group. Currently de_thread is also adding the task to the task list which is just silly. Currently the only leader of __detach_pid besides detach_pid is switch_exec_pids because of the ugly extra work that was being performed. So this patch removes switch_exec_pids because it is doing too much, it is creating an unnecessary special case in pid.c, duing work duplicated in de_thread, and generally obscuring what it is going on. The necessary work is added to de_thread, and it seems to be a little clearer there what is going on. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-03-28[PATCH] simplify exec from init's subthreadOleg Nesterov
I think it is enough to take tasklist_lock for reading while changing child_reaper: Reparenting needs write_lock(tasklist_lock) Only one thread in a thread group can do exec() sighand->siglock garantees that get_signal_to_deliver() will not see a stale value of child_reaper. This means that we can change child_reaper earlier, without calling zap_other_threads() twice. "child_reaper = current" is a NOOP when init does exec from main thread, we don't care.

2006-03-28[PATCH] exec: allow init to exec from any thread.Eric W. Biederman
After looking at the problem of init calling exec some more I figured out an easy way to make the code work. The actual symptom without out this patch is that all threads will die except pid == 1, and the thread calling exec. The thread calling exec will wait forever for pid == 1 to die. Since pid == 1 does not install a handler for SIGKILL it will never die. This modifies the tests for init from current->pid == 1 to the equivalent current == child_reaper. And then it causes exec in the ugly case to modify child_reaper. The only weird symptom is that you wind up with an init process that doesn't have the oldest start time on the box.

2006-03-28[PATCH] Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stackAndi Kleen
Optimize select and poll by a using stack space for small fd sets This brings back an old optimization from Linux 2.0. Using the stack is faster than kmalloc. On a Intel P4 system it speeds up a select of a single pty fd by about 13% (~4000 cycles -> ~3500) It also saves memory because a daemon hanging in select or poll will usually save one or two less pages. This can add up - e.g. if you have 10 daemons blocking in poll/select you save 40KB of memory. I did a patch for this long ago, but it was never applied. This version is a reimplementation of the old patch that tries to be less intrusive. I only did the minimal changes needed for the stack allocation. The cut off point before external memory is allocated is currently at 832bytes. The system calls always allocate this much memory on the stack. These 832 bytes are divided into 256 bytes frontend data (for the select bitmaps of the pollfds) and the rest of the space for the wait queues used by the low level drivers. There are some extreme cases where this won't work out for select and it falls back to allocating memory too early - especially with very sparse large select bitmaps - but the majority of processes who only have a small number of file descriptors should be ok. [TBD: 832/256 might not be the best split for select or poll] I suspect more optimizations might be possible, but they would be more complicated. One way would be to cache the select/poll context over multiple system calls because typically the input values should be similar. Problem is when to flush the file descriptors out though.

2006-03-27[PATCH] dm/md dependency tree in sysfs: bd_claim_by_kobjectJun'ichi Nomura
Adding bd_claim_by_kobject() function which takes kobject as additional signature of holder device and creates sysfs symlinks between holder device and claimed device. bd_release_from_kobject() is a counterpart of bd_claim_by_kobject.

2006-03-27[PATCH] dm-md-dependency-tree-in-sysfs-holders-slaves-subdirectory-tidyAndrew Morton
Remove all the CONFIG_SYSFS stuff. That's supposed to all be implemented up in header files. Yes, the CONFIG_SYSFS=n data structures will be a little larger than necessary, but that's a tradeoff we can decide to make.
