The last in-kernel user of errno is gone, so we should remove the definition and everything referring to it. This also removes the now-unused lib/execve.c file that was introduced earlier. Also remove every trace of __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ that still remained in the kernel. Signed-off-by:

sh64 is using system call macros to call some functions from the kernel. The old debug code can simply be removed, since we don't really have that much of a need for it anymore, it was mostly something that was handy during the initial bringup. This also brings us closer to something that looks like readable code again.. I also added a sane kernel_thread() implementation that gets away from this, so that should take care of sh64 at least.

User mode linux uses _syscallX() to call into the host kernel. The recommended way to do this is to use the syscall() function from libc. Signed-off-by:

This adds the new kernel_execve function on all architectures that were using _syscall3() to implement execve. The implementation uses code from the _syscall3 macros provided in the unistd.h header file. I don't have cross-compilers for any of these architectures, so the patch is untested with the exception of i386. Most architectures can probably implement this in a nicer way in assembly or by combining it with the sys_execve implementation itself, but this should do it for now.

Some architectures provide an execve function that does not set errno, but instead returns the result code directly. Rename these to kernel_execve to get the right semantics there. Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so remove these right away.

The use of execve() in the kernel is dubious, since it relies on the __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ mechanism that stores the result in a global errno variable. As a first step of getting rid of this, change all users to a global kernel_execve function that returns a proper error code. This function is a terrible hack, and a later patch removes it again after the kernel syscalls are gone. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes copy_namespaces()'s error path. when new nsproxy (new_ns) is created pointers to namespaces (ipc, uts) are copied from the old nsproxy. Later in copy_utsname, copy_ipcs, etc. according namespaces are get-ed. On error path needed namespaces are put-ed, so there's no need to put new nsproxy itelf as it woud cause putting namespaces for the second time. Found when incorporating namespaces into OpenVZ kernel. Signed-off-by:

This patch set allows to unshare IPCs and have a private set of IPC objects (sem, shm, msg) inside namespace. Basically, it is another building block of containers functionality.

This patch defines the uts namespace and some manipulators. Adds the uts namespace to task_struct, and initializes a system-wide init namespace.

In some places, particularly drivers and __init code, the init utsns is the appropriate one to use. This patch replaces those with a the init_utsname helper. Changes: Removed several uses of init_utsname(). Hope I picked all the right ones in net/ipv4/ipconfig.c.

exit_task_namespaces() has replaced the former exit_namespace(). It invalidates task->nsproxy and associated namespaces.

This moves the mount namespace into the nsproxy. The mount namespace count now refers to the number of nsproxies point to it, rather than the number of tasks. As a result, the unshare_namespace() function in kernel/fork.c no longer checks whether it is being shared. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a nsproxy structure to the task struct. Later patches will move the fs namespace pointer into this structure, and introduce a new utsname namespace into the nsproxy. The vserver and openvz functionality, then, would be implemented in large part by virtualizing/isolating more and more resources into namespaces, each contained in the nsproxy.

Actually implement multiple pools. On NUMA machines, allocate a svc_pool per NUMA node; on SMP a svc_pool per CPU; otherwise a single global pool. Enqueue sockets on the svc_pool corresponding to the CPU on which the socket bh is run (i.e. the NIC interrupt CPU). Threads have their cpu mask set to limit them to the CPUs in the svc_pool that owns them. This is the patch that allows an Altix to scale NFS traffic linearly beyond 4 CPUs and 4 NICs. Incorporates changes and feedback from Neil Brown, Trond Myklebust, and Christoph Hellwig. Signed-off-by:

Currently knfsd keeps its own list of all nfsd threads in nfssvc.c; add a new way of managing the list of all threads in a svc_serv.

Split out the list of idle threads and pending sockets from svc_serv into a new svc_pool structure, and allocate a fixed number (in this patch, 1) of pools per svc_serv. The new structure contains a lock which takes over several of the duties of svc_serv->sv_lock, which is now relegated to protecting only sv_tempsocks, sv_permsocks, and sv_tmpcnt in svc_serv. The point is to move the hottest fields out of svc_serv and into svc_pool, allowing a following patch to arrange for a svc_pool per NUMA node or per CPU. This is a major step towards making the NFS server NUMA-friendly. Signed-off-by:

The SK_BUSY bit in svc_sock->sk_flags ensures that we do not attempt to enqueue a socket twice. Currently, setting and clearing the bit is protected by svc_serv->sv_lock. As I intend to reduce the data that the lock protects so it's not held when svc_sock_enqueue() tests and sets SK_BUSY, that test and set needs to be atomic. Signed-off-by:

Following are 11 patches from Greg Banks which combine to make knfsd more Numa-aware. They reduce hitting on 'global' data structures, and create some data-structures that can be node-local. knfsd threads are bound to a particular node, and the thread to handle a new request is chosen from the threads that are attach to the node that received the interrupt. The distribution of threads across nodes can be controlled by a new file in the 'nfsd' filesystem, though the default approach of an even spread is probably fine for most sites. Some (old) numbers that show the efficacy of these patches: N == number of NICs == number of CPUs == nmber of clients. Number of NUMA nodes == N/2 N Throughput, MiB/s CPU usage, % (max=N*100) Before After Before After --- ------ ---- ----- ----- 4 312 435 350 228 6 500 656 501 418 8 562 804 690 589 This patch: Move the aging of RPC/TCP connection sockets from the main svc_recv() loop to a timer which uses a mark-and-sweep algorithm every 6 minutes. This reduces the amount of work that needs to be done in the main RPC loop and the length of time we need to hold the (effectively global) svc_serv->sv_lock. [akpm@osdl.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by:
