Fix this: fs/block_dev.c: In function 'bd_claim_by_disk': fs/block_dev.c:970: warning: 'found' may be used uninitialized in this function and given that free_bd_holder() now needs free(NULL)-is-legal behaviour, we can simplify bd_release_from_kobject().

Add custom dentry hash and comparison operations for HFS+ filesystems that are case-insensitive and/or do automatic unicode decomposition. The new operations reuse the existing HFS+ ASCII to unicode conversion, unicode decomposition and case folding functionality. Signed-off-by:

The HFS+ filesystem is case-insensitive and does automatic unicode decomposition by default, but does not provide custom dentry operations. This can lead to multiple dentries being cached for lookups on a filename with varying case and/or character (de)composition. These patches add custom dentry hash and comparison operations for case-sensitive and/or automatically decomposing HFS+ filesystems. Unicode decomposition and case-folding are performed as required to ensure equivalent filenames are hashed to the same values and compare as equal. This patch: Refactor existing HFS+ ASCII to unicode string conversion routine to split out character conversion functionality. This will be reused by the custom dentry hash and comparison routines. This approach avoids unnecessary memory allocation compared to using the string conversion routine directly in the new functions.

Improve performance of sys_time(). sys_time() returns time in seconds, but it does so by calling do_gettimeofday() and then returning the tv_sec portion of the GTOD time. But the data structure "xtime", which is updated by every timer/scheduler tick, already offers HZ granularity time. The patch improves the sysbench OLTP macrobenchmark significantly: 2.6.22-rc6: #threads 1: transactions: 3733 (373.21 per sec.) 2: transactions: 6676 (667.46 per sec.) 3: transactions: 6957 (695.50 per sec.) 4: transactions: 7055 (705.48 per sec.) 5: transactions: 6596 (659.33 per sec.) 2.6.22-rc6 + sys_time.patch: 1: transactions: 4005 (400.47 per sec.) 2: transactions: 7379 (737.77 per sec.) 3: transactions: 7347 (734.49 per sec.) 4: transactions: 7468 (746.65 per sec.) 5: transactions: 7428 (742.47 per sec.) Mixed API uses of gettimeofday() and time() are guaranteed to be coherent via the use of a at-most-once-per-second slowpath that updates xtime. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by:

sys_ioctl() was only exported for our first version of compat ioctl handling. Now that the whole compat ioctl handling mess is more or less sorted out there are no more modular users left and we can kill it. There's one exception and that's sparc64's solaris compat module, but sparc64 has it's own export predating the generic one by years for that which this patch leaves untouched. Signed-off-by:

While working on unshare support for the network namespace I noticed we were putting clone flags in an int. Which is weird because the syscall uses unsigned long and we at least need an unsigned to properly hold all of the unshare flags. So to make the code consistent, this patch updates the code to use unsigned long instead of int for the clone flags in those places where we get it wrong today. Signed-off-by:

The procfs-guide claims that 'the parameter start doesn't seem to be used anywhere in the kernel'. This is out of date. In linux/fs/proc/generic.c we find a very nice description of the parameters to read_func. The appended patch replaces the bogus description with this (as far as I know) accurate one.

OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered the problem with 32bit quota tools working on 64bit architectures. In 2.6.10 kernel sys32_quotactl() function was replaced by sys_quotactl() with the comment "sys_quotactl seems to be 32/64bit clean, enable it for 32bit" However this isn't right. Look at if_dqblk structure: struct if_dqblk { __u64 dqb_bhardlimit; __u64 dqb_bsoftlimit; __u64 dqb_curspace; __u64 dqb_ihardlimit; __u64 dqb_isoftlimit; __u64 dqb_curinodes; __u64 dqb_btime; __u64 dqb_itime; __u32 dqb_valid; }; For 32 bit quota tools sizeof(if_dqblk) == 0x44. But for 64 bit kernel its size is 0x48, 'cause of alignment! Thus we got a problem. Attached patch reintroduce sys32_quotactl() function, that handles this and related situations.

One common problem with 32 bit system call and ioctl emulation is the different alignment rules between i386 and 64 bit machines. A number of drivers work around this by marking the compat structures as 'attribute((packed))', which is not the right solution because it breaks all the non-x86 architectures that want to use the same compat code. Hopefully, this patch improves the situation, it introduces two new types, compat_u64 and compat_s64. These are defined on all architectures to have the same size and alignment as the 32 bit version of u64 and s64. Signed-off-by:

ext4_orphan_add() and ext4_orphan_del() functions lock sb->s_lock with a transaction started with ext4_mark_recovery_complete() waits for a transaction holding sb->s_lock, thus leading to a possible deadlock. At the moment we call ext4_mark_recovery_complete() from ext4_remount() we have done all the work needed for remounting and thus we are safe to drop sb->s_lock before we wait for transactions to commit. Note that at this moment we are still guarded by s_umount lock against other remounts/umounts. Signed-off-by:

dup_mnt_ns() and clone_uts_ns() return NULL on failure. This is wrong, create_new_namespaces() uses ERR_PTR() to catch an error. This means that the subsequent create_new_namespaces() will hit BUG_ON() in copy_mnt_ns() or copy_utsname(). Modify create_new_namespaces() to also use the errors returned by the copy_*_ns routines and not to systematically return ENOMEM. [oleg@tv-sign.ru: better changelog] Signed-off-by:

This patch enables the unshare of user namespaces. It adds a new clone flag CLONE_NEWUSER and implements copy_user_ns() which resets the current user_struct and adds a new root user (uid == 0) For now, unsharing the user namespace allows a process to reset its user_struct accounting and uid 0 in the new user namespace should be contained using appropriate means, for instance selinux The plan, when the full support is complete (all uid checks covered), is to keep the original user's rights in the original namespace, and let a process become uid 0 in the new namespace, with full capabilities to the new namespace.

Basically, it will allow a process to unshare its user_struct table, resetting at the same time its own user_struct and all the associated accounting. A new root user (uid == 0) is added to the user namespace upon creation. Such root users have full privileges and it seems that theses privileges should be controlled through some means (process capabilities ?) The unshare is not included in this patch. Changes since [try #4]: - Updated get_user_ns and put_user_ns to accept NULL, and get_user_ns to return the namespace. Changes since [try #3]: - moved struct user_namespace to files user_namespace.{c,h} Changes since [try #2]: - removed struct user_namespace* argument from find_user() Changes since [try #1]: - removed struct user_namespace* argument from find_user() - added a root_user per user namespace Signed-off-by:
