When using kthreads that call into svc_recv, we want to make sure that they do not block there for a long time when we're trying to take down the kthread. This patch changes svc_recv() to check kthread_should_stop() at the same places that it checks to see if it's signalled(). Also check just before svc_recv() tries to schedule(). By making sure that we check it just after setting the task state we can avoid having to use any locking or signalling to ensure it doesn't block for a long time. There's still a chance of a 500ms sleep if alloc_page() fails, but that should be a rare occurrence and isn't a terribly long time in the context of a kthread being taken down.

Needed since the plan is to not have a svc_create_thread helper and to have current users of that function just call kthread_run directly. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

Lockd caches information about hosts that have recently held locks to expedite the taking of further locks. It periodically discards this information for hosts that have not been used for a few minutes. lockd currently has a value NLM_HOST_MAX, and changes the 'garbage collection' behaviour when the number of hosts exceeds this threshold. However its behaviour is strange, and likely not what was intended. When the number of hosts exceeds the max, it scans *less* often (every 2 minutes vs every minute) and allows unused host information to remain around longer (5 minutes instead of 2). Having this limit is of dubious value anyway, and we have not suffered from the code not getting the limit right, so remove the limit altogether. We go with the larger values (discard 5 minute old hosts every 2 minutes) as they are probably safer. Maybe the periodic garbage collection should be replace to with 'shrinker' handler so we just respond to memory pressure....

PNP_MAX_IRQ is 2 If a device invokes pnpacpi_parse_allocated_irqresource() 0, 1, or 2 times, we are happy. The 3rd time, we will fail and print "pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of IRQ resources: 2" The 4th and subsequent calls (if this ever happened) would silently scribble on irq_resource[2], which doesn't actualy exist.

[mszeredi@suse.cz] rewrite and split big patch into managable chunks /proc/mounts in its current form lacks important information: - propagation state - root of mount for bind mounts - the st_dev value used within the filesystem - identifier for each mount and it's parent It also suffers from the following problems: - not easily extendable - ambiguity of mountpoints within a chrooted environment - doesn't distinguish between filesystem dependent and independent options - doesn't distinguish between per mount and per super block options This patch introduces /proc/<pid>/mountinfo which attempts to address all these deficiencies. Code shared between /proc/<pid>/mounts and /proc/<pid>/mountinfo is extracted into separate functions. Thanks to Al Viro for the help in getting the design right.

Add a unique ID to each peer group using the IDR infrastructure. The identifiers are reused after the peer group dissolves. The IDR structures are protected by holding namepspace_sem for write while allocating or deallocating IDs. IDs are allocated when a previously unshared vfsmount becomes the first member of a peer group. When a new member is added to an existing group, the ID is copied from one of the old members. IDs are freed when the last member of a peer group is unshared. Setting the MNT_SHARED flag on members of a subtree is done as a separate step, after all the IDs have been allocated. This way an allocation failure can be cleaned up easilty, without affecting the propagation state. Based on design sketch by Al Viro.

Commit 88452565 ("PCI: clean up resource alignment management") didn't set the alignment information for the cardbus window resources, causing their subsequent allocations to fail miserably with a message like yenta_cardbus 0000:15:00.0: device not available because of BAR 7 [100:1ff] collisions yenta_cardbus: probe of 0000:15:00.0 failed with error -16 or similar. This fixes it and clarifies the code a bit too (we used to have to use the insane PCI bridge alignment logic that put the alignment in the "start" field, this makes it use the slightly easier-to-understand size-based alignment, and allows us to set the resource start to zero until it gets allocated).
