Now that sys_sysctl is a generic wrapper around /proc/sys .ctl_name and .strategy members of sysctl tables are dead code. Remove them. The deleted strategy routines here surprise me. ctl_name was CTL_UNNUMBERED so they would not have been called at all. Acked-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Looking at the arlan code it appears all of the sysctl entries are disabled debug code, and have not been enabled since the driver was merged in feb of 2003. Since except for a select few that userspace can't get along without the binary sysctl table entries are going away. Kill the unused arlan binary sysctls. Cc: John W.

A malicious user could have passed in a ctl_name of 0 and triggered the well know ctl_name to procname mapping code, instead of the wild card matching code. This is a slight problem as wild card entries don't have procnames, and because in some alternate universe a network device might have ifindex 0. So test for and handle wild card entries first.

dev_get_by_index does not exist when the network stack is not compiled in, so only include the code to follow wild card paths when the network stack is present. I have shuffled the code around a little to make it clear that dev_put is called after dev_get_by_index showing that there is no leak. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

The ctl_name and strategy fields are unused, now that sys_sysctl is a compatibility wrapper around /proc/sys. No longer looking at them in the generic code is effectively what we are doing now and provides the guarantee that during further cleanups we can just remove references to those fields and everything will work ok.

Now that the sys_sysctl is now a compatibility wrapper around /proc/sys we can remove much of sysctl_check and reduce it to a few remaining sanity checks. This completely decouples it from the binary sysctl system call. Little things like ensuring that the sysctl has not already been registered are all that remain. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

To simply maintenance and to be able to remove all of the binary sysctl support from various subsystems I have rewritten the binary sysctl code as a compatibility wrapper around proc/sys. The code is built around a hard coded table based on the table in sysctl_check.c that lists all of our current binary sysctls and provides enough information to convert from the sysctl binary input into into ascii and back again. New in this patch is the realization that the only dynamic entries that need to be handled have ifname as the asscii string and ifindex as their ctl_name. When a sys_sysctl is called the code now looks in the translation table converting the binary name to the path under /proc where the value is to be found. Opens that file, and calls into a format conversion wrapper that calls fop->read and then fop->write as appropriate. Since in practice the practically no one uses or tests sys_sysctl rewritting the code to be beautiful is a little silly. The redeeming merit of this work is it allows us to rip out all of the binary sysctl syscall support from everywhere else in the tree. Allowing us to remove a lot of dead (after this patch) and barely maintained code. In addition it becomes much easier to optimize the sysctl implementation for being the backing store of /proc/sys, without having to worry about sys_sysctl. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

This uses compat_alloc_userspace to remove the various hacks to allow do_sysctl to write to throuh oldlenp. The rest of our mature compat syscall helper facitilies are used as well to ensure we have a nice clean maintainable compat syscall that can be used on all architectures. The motiviation for a generic compat sysctl (besides the obvious hack removal) is to reduce the number of compat sysctl defintions out there so I can refactor the binary sysctl implementation. ppc already used the name compat_sys_sysctl so I remove the ppcs version here.

Read in the binary sysctl path once, instead of reread it from user space each time the code needs to access a path element. The deprecated sysctl warning is moved to do_sysctl so that the compat_sysctl entries syscalls will also warn. The return of -ENOSYS when !CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL is moved to binary_sysctl. Always leaving a do_sysctl available that handles !CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL and printing the deprecated sysctl warning allows for a single defitition of the sysctl syscall. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

nr_processes() returns the sum of the per cpu counter process_counts for all online CPUs. This counter is incremented for the current CPU on fork() and decremented for the current CPU on exit(). Since a process does not necessarily fork and exit on the same CPU the process_count for an individual CPU can be either positive or negative and effectively has no meaning in isolation. Therefore calculating the sum of process_counts over only the online CPUs omits the processes which were started or stopped on any CPU which has since been unplugged. Only the sum of process_counts across all possible CPUs has meaning. The only caller of nr_processes() is proc_root_getattr() which calculates the number of links to /proc as stat->nlink = proc_root.nlink + nr_processes(); You don't have to be all that unlucky for the nr_processes() to return a negative value leading to a negative number of links (or rather, an apparently enormous number of links). If this happens then you can get failures where things like "ls /proc" start to fail because they got an -EOVERFLOW from some stat() call. Example with some debugging inserted to show what goes on: # ps haux|wc -l nr_processes: CPU0: 90 nr_processes: CPU1: 1030 nr_processes: CPU2: -900 nr_processes: CPU3: -136 nr_processes: TOTAL: 84 proc_root_getattr. nlink 12 + nr_processes() 84 = 96 84 # echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # ps haux|wc -l nr_processes: CPU0: 85 nr_processes: CPU2: -901 nr_processes: CPU3: -137 nr_processes: TOTAL: -953 proc_root_getattr. nlink 12 + nr_processes() -953 = -941 75 # stat /proc/ nr_processes: CPU0: 84 nr_processes: CPU2: -901 nr_processes: CPU3: -137 nr_processes: TOTAL: -954 proc_root_getattr. nlink 12 + nr_processes() -954 = -942 File: `/proc/' Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 1024 directory Device: 3h/3d Inode: 1 Links: 4294966354 Access: (0555/dr-xr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2009-11-03 09:06:55.000000000 +0000 Modify: 2009-11-03 09:06:55.000000000 +0000 Change: 2009-11-03 09:06:55.000000000 +0000 I'm not 100% convinced that the per_cpu regions remain valid for offline CPUs, although my testing suggests that they do. If not then I think the correct solution would be to aggregate the process_count for a given CPU into a global base value in cpu_down(). This bug appears to pre-date the transition to git and it looks like it may even have been present in linux-2.6.0-test7-bk3 since it looks like the code Rusty patched in http://lwn.net/Articles/64773/ was already wrong.
