An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation. Also unbindable mount disallows bind mounts. The semantics is as follows. Bind semantics: It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount. Move semantics: It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount. Clone-namespace semantics: If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too. Note: there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted but can be cloned during clone-namespace. Signed-off-by:

This makes bind, rbind, move, clone namespace and umount operations aware of the semantics of slave mount (see Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt in the last patch of the series for detailed description). Signed-off-by:

A slave mount always has a master mount from which it receives mount/umount events. Unlike shared mount the event propagation does not flow from the slave mount to the master. Signed-off-by:

An unmount of a mount creates a umount event on the parent. If the parent is a shared mount, it gets propagated to all mounts in the peer group. Signed-off-by:

This creates shared mounts. A shared mount when bind-mounted to some mountpoint, propagates mount/umount events to each other. All the shared mounts that propagate events to each other belong to the same peer-group. Signed-off-by:

This removes the per-namespace semaphore in favor of a global semaphore. This can have an effect on namespace scalability. Signed-off-by:

- clean up the ugliness in may_umount_tree() - fix a bug in do_loopback(). after cloning a tree, do_loopback() unlinks only the topmost mount of the cloned tree, leaving behind the children mounts on their corresponding expiry list. Signed-off-by:

umount is done under the protection of the namespace semaphore. This can lead to intresting deadlocks when the last reference to a mount is released, if filesystem code is in sufficiently nasty state. This collects all the to-be-released-mounts and releases them after releasing the namespace semaphore. That both reduces the time we are holding namespace semaphore and gets the things more robust.

Old semantics: graft_tree() grabs a reference on the vfsmount before returning success. New one: graft_tree() leaves that to caller. All the callers of graft_tree() immediately dropped that reference anyway. Changing the interface takes care of this unnecessary overhead. Idea proposed by Al Viro. Signed-off-by:

Allow caller of seq_open() to kmalloc() seq_file + whatever else they want and set ->private_data to it. seq_open() will then abstain from doing allocation itself. Signed-off-by:

- check_mnt() on the source of binding should've been unconditional from the very beginning. My fault - as far I could've trace it, that's an old thinko made back in 2001. Kudos to Miklos for spotting it... Fixed. - code cleaned up. Signed-off-by:

The way we currently deal with quota and process accounting that might keep vfsmount busy at umount time is inherently broken; we try to turn them off just in case (not quite correctly, at that) and a) pray umount doesn't fail (otherwise they'll stay turned off) b) pray nobody doesn anything funny just as we turn quota off Moreover, LSM provides hooks for doing the same sort of broken logics. The proper way to deal with that is to introduce the second kind of reference to vfsmount. Semantics: - when the last normal reference is dropped, all special ones are converted to normal ones and if there had been any, cleanup is done. - normal reference can be cloned into a special one - special reference can be converted to normal one; that's a no-op if we'd already passed the point of no return (i.e. mntput() had converted special references to normal and started cleanup). The way it works: e.g. starting process accounting converts the vfsmount reference pinned by the opened file into special one and turns it back to normal when it gets shut down; acct_auto_close() is done when no normal references are left. That way it does *not* obstruct umount(2) and it silently gets turned off when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone. Which is exactly what we want... The same should be done by LSM module that holds some internal references to vfsmount and wants to shut them down on umount - it should make them special and security_sb_umount_close() will be called exactly when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone. quota handling is even simpler - we don't use normal file IO anymore, so there's no need to hold vfsmounts at all. DQUOT_OFF() is done from deactivate_super(), where it really belongs. Signed-off-by:

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek Since we have to use XCB=101 instead of XCB=000 on the ixp2400 to prevent it from regularly falling over, and since we have to deal with manual write buffer flushing because of that, we might as well use XCB=101 on all ixp2000 platforms since it's faster than XCB=000.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek nwfpe extended precision emulation used to be broken on big-endian and was therefore disabled. This patch fixes nwfpe so that it copies extended precision floats to/from userspace in the proper word order (similar to patch #2046, see the description of that patch for an explanation) and reenables the Kconfig option.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The routine that nwfpe uses for converting floats/doubles to extended precision fails to zero two bytes of kernel stack. This is not immediately obvious, as the floatx80 structure has 16 bits of implicit padding (by design.) These two bytes are copied to userspace when an stfe is emulated, causing a possible info leak. Make the padding explicit and zero it out in the relevant places. Signed-off-by:
