Instead, use d_path to find path from dentry/vfsmnt. This requires allocating a buffer at exp_open time, and releasing it when closing.

Don't print if default, which should be "-2", but is currently 65534.. We really need a 32bit uid interface for 2.6.

Neil Brown authored
I was never entirely sure what it was for, but it is not used now, only set, so it can go.

It is un-used and never will be. uid mapping will be done a different way (if at all).

lockd currently asks nfsd for a 'client handle' for each request. This is used as a key for finding (or creating) a 'nlm_host' structure, so that there is only one of these per client...almost. There can currently be up to 4 nlm_hosts for a given client, depending on protocol (udp/tcp) or version (v1 or v4). But this isn't handled very well. So the question is: is there any advantage in having only on nlm_host per real host, or have we simply have one for each IP address that makes requests, whether they are separate hosts or not. The nlm_host structure is used: 1/ to hold a lockd rpc client for talking to the remote lockd. Having multiple lockd clients cannot hurt except possibly to waste a little space. 2/ to identify resources to free when we receive notification from statd that a client has restarted. As statd gets a hostname and looks up all IP addresses, and then sends a notification for each IP for which it has a registration, there is no need to minimise the number of nlm_host structures (each of which register for monitoring). 3/ to identify resources to free when a client sends a "free_all" request. If a client uses multiple IP addresses to create locks, and then sends free_all from just one IP address we will loose here. However it is not clear that a client would ever want to send a free_all request, and the linux client doesn't seem to, so there is unlikely to be any loss here. This patch does not ask nfsd for a client identifier, but rather finds an nlm_host based on IP, version, protocol (udp/tcp) and whether we are acting as NFS server or client. All of this information is then placed in the cookie that is passed to statd and returned by statd when the client restarts. Previously only the IP address was passing the cookie, so possibly not all nlm_host structures would have been found. Because of these changes, lockd does not need to know anything about the nfsd export table, so the interface to nfsd is much more narrow. Another consequence is that when nfsd is told to delete a client, it cannot tell lockd to forget all the locks for that client. However it is not clear that lockd should ever forget any locks unless it is told to shutdown (or simulate a shutdown), and in anycase, the current nfsd admin tools never tell nfsd to delete a client anyway.

Currently, when lockd wants to invalidate all it's clients, it asks nfsd to iterate through them. Now it iterates itself.

both md.c and raid5.c can be compiled with debugging and compile errors in this code aren't normally noticed as they aren't even compiled. Now the debugging messages are compiled but optimised out so we will always see the errors. Current errors are fixed.

That recent bug fix in raid5 just changed the bug, it didn't fix it. I think that the original code was actually wrong, which didn't help. This time, the code actually matches the nearby comment, that has been expanded a bit, so I feel somewhat more confident that it is actually right.

Since 2.5.33, the blk_dev[].queue is called without the device open, so md_queue_proc can no-longer assume that the device is open.

Use the same rule as in Rules.make for preprocessing vmlinux.lds.S, that also gives automatic dependency tracking. This means we should also use the standard AFLAGS_... instead of CPPFLAGS_... to provide specific additional flags.

When using cp to copy the shipped file to its actual name, permissions would be preserved, particularly the copy would be read-only when the original was (BitKeeper) read-only, leading to an error when executing the rule a second time. So now we use cat, which will generate a writable file.

Linus spotted one cut-n-pasto ('tracing' argument) but didn't see the other: we were walking the ptrace_children list by the sibling field. So we got garbage for your task_structs when this happened. If the list wasn't empty, it would crash. Strace detaches from all tasks when it receives a Control-C so only with enough threads and SMP would this be easily seen.

I have changed the name of a local variable "l" to be "j", because with some fonts should be difficult to see if [1+l+i] means [2+i] or what.

using init_etherdev(0, 0) in probe is a race. The struct net_device must be allocate and filled before init_etherdev is called, or there's a race which creates a network interface that isn't usable. The patch for kaweth for 2.5 fixes it.

ata_attach in linux-2.5.34/drivers/ide/ide.c builds a list of IDE drives that do not yet have a device driver bound to them, in case ide-disk, ide-scsi, or whatever driver you want to use is not loaded yet. The problem was that ata_attach was adding to the head of the list, so the list was being built in reverse order. So, if you had two IDE disks, and ide-disk was a loadable module, the devfs entries for the disks would be numbered in reverse (the first disk would be /dev/discs/disc1, and the second would be /dev/discs/disc0). This fixes the problem by changing the relevant list_add to list_add_tail. Incidentally, the generic code in drivers/base/ already does it this way.

One more patch: this turns off async schedule processing if there are no control or bulk transactions for a while (currently HZ/3). Consequence: no PCI accesses unless there's work to do. (And a FIXME comment is gone!)

Minor nit: the subject driver depends on ATM, so a config-time check to see if ATM support is enabled is appropriate.

This removes some bugs: - a short read problem with control requests - only creates one control qh (memleak fix) - adds an omitted hardware handshake - reset timeout in octal, say what? - a couple BUG()s outlived their value Plus it deletes unused stub code for split ISO and updates some internal doc.

HandyTech's Braille displays support a USB port, those are implemented with a GoHubs usb serial converter. The only difference is that the pID is 0x1200, not 0x1000.

This fixes the old-pthreads breakage i can reproduce. the fix is to only do the thread-group exit-completion logic in case of thread-groups.

This is another step to have better threading support under Linux, it implements the sys_exit_group() system call. It's a straightforward extension of the generic 'thread group' concept, which extension also comes handy to solve a number of problems when implementing POSIX threads. POSIX exit() [the C library function] has the following semantics: all thread have to exit and the waiting parent has to get the exit code that was specified for the exit() function. It also has to be ensured that every thread has truly finished its work by the time the parent gets the notification. The exit code has to be propagated properly to the parent thread even if not the thread group leader calls the exit() function. Normal single-thread exit is done via the pthread_exit() function, which calls sys_exit(). Previous incarnations of Linux POSIX threads implementations chose the following solution: send a 'thread management' signal to the thread group leader via tkill(), which thread goes around and kills every thread in the group (except itself), then calls sys_exit() with the proper exit code. Both old libpthreads and NGPT use this solution. This works to a certain degree, unless a userspace threading library uses the initial thread for normal thread work [like the new libpthreads], which 'work' can cause the initial thread to exit prematurely. At this point the threading library has to catch the group leader in pthread_exit() and has to keep the management thread 'hanging around' artificially, waiting for the management signal. Besides being slightly confusing to users ('why is this thread still around?') even this variant is unrobust: if the initial thread is killed by the kernel (SIGSEGV or any other thread-specific event that triggers do_exit()) then the thread goes away without the thread library having a chance to intervene. the sys_exit_group() syscall implements the mechanism within the kernel, which, besides robustness, is also *much* faster. Instead of the threading library having to tkill() every thread available, the kernel can use the already existing 'broadcast signal' capability. (the threading library cannot use broadcast signals because that would kill the initial thread as well.) as a side-effect of the completion mechanism used by sys_exit_group() it was also possible to make the initial thread hang around as a zombie until every other thread in the group has exited. A 'Z' state thread is much easier to understand by users - it's around because it has to wait for all other threads to exit first. and as a side-effect of the initial thread hanging around in a guaranteed way, there are three advantages: - signals sent to the thread group via sys_kill() work again. Previously if the initial thread exited then all subsequent sys_kill() calls to the group PID failed with a -ESRCH. - the get_pid() function got faster: it does not have to check for tgid collision anymore. - procps has an easier job displaying threaded applications - since the thread group leader is always around, no thread group can 'hide' from procps just because the thread group leader has exited. [ - NOTE: the same mechanism can/will also be used by the upcoming threaded-coredumps patch. ] there's also another (small) advantage for threading libraries: eg. the new libpthreads does not even have any notion of 'group of threads' anymore - it does not maintain any global list of threads. Via this syscall it can purely rely on the kernel to manage thread groups. the patch itself does some internal changes to the way a thread exits: now the unhashing of the PID and the signal-freeing is done atomically. This is needed to make sure the thread group leader unhashes itself precisely when the last thread group member has exited. (the sys_exit_group() syscall has been used by glibc's new libpthreads code for the past couple of weeks and the concept is working just fine.)
