Userspace should create and bind a socket (but not connectted) and write the 'fd' to portlist. This will cause the nfs server to listen on that socket. To close a socket, the name of the socket - as read from 'portlist' can be written to 'portlist' with a preceding '-'. Signed-off-by:

This file will list all ports that nfsd has open. Default when TCP enabled will be ipv4 udp 0.0.0.0 2049 ipv4 tcp 0.0.0.0 2049 Later, the list of ports will be settable. 'portlist' chosen rather than 'ports', to avoid unnecessary confusion with non-mainline patches which created 'ports' with different semantics. [akpm@osdl.org: cleanups, build fix] Signed-off-by:

We have an array 'nfsd_version' which lists the available versions of nfsd, and 'nfsd_versions' (poor choice there :-() which lists the currently active versions. Then we have a bitmap - nfsd_versbits which says which versions are wanted. The bits in this bitset cause content to be copied from nfsd_version to nfsd_versions when nfsd starts. This patch removes nfsd_versbits and moves information directly from nfsd_version to nfsd_versions when requests for version changes arrive. Note that this doesn't make it possible to change versions while the server is running. This is because serv->sv_xdrsize is calculated when a service is created, and used when threads are created, and xdrsize depends on the active versions. Signed-off-by:

Currently lockd listens on UDP always, and TCP if CONFIG_NFSD_TCP is set. However as lockd performs services of the client as well, this is a problem. If CONFIG_NfSD_TCP is not set, and a tcp mount is used, the server will not be able to call back to lockd. So: - add an option to lockd_up saying which protocol is needed - Always open sockets for which an explicit port was given, otherwise only open a socket of the type required - Change nfsd to do one lockd_up per socket rather than one per thread. This - removes the dependancy on CONFIG_NFSD_TCP - means that lockd may open sockets other than at startup - means that lockd will *not* listen on UDP if the only mounts are TCP mount (and nfsd hasn't started). The latter is the only one that concerns me at all - I don't know if this might be a problem with some servers. Signed-off-by:

nfsd has some cleanup that it wants to do when the last thread exits, and there will shortly be some more. So collect this all into one place and define a callback for an rpc service to call when the service is about to be destroyed. [akpm@osdl.org: cleanups, build fix] Signed-off-by:

As reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6970, ISDN can issue excessively-long udelays, which triggers a build-time error on ARM. This is very sucky of ISDN, but I doubt if anyone is going to suddenly fix it. So change the macro to do the microsecond counting itself.

A simple module to test Linux Kernel Dump mechanism. This module uses jprobes to install/activate pre-defined crash points. At different crash points, various types of crashing scenarios are created like a BUG(), panic(), exception, recursive loop and stack overflow. The user can activate a crash point with specific type by providing parameters at the time of module insertion. Please see the file header for usage information. The module is based on the Linux Kernel Dump Test Tool by Fernando <http://lkdtt.sourceforge.net>. This module could be merged with mainline. Jprobes is used here so that the context in which crash point is hit, could be maintained. This implements all the crash points as done by LKDTT except the one in the middle of tasklet_action().

Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli authored
In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that: o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe. The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have to specify the ".symbols" o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to specify an offset into a symbol. o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported. However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified, probe registration fails with an -EINVAL. o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't work, say, on powerpc) Signed-off-by:

The problem with remembering a user space process by its pid is that it is possible that the process will exit, pid wrap around will occur. Converting to a struct pid avoid that problem, and paves the way for implementing a pid namespace. Also since usb is the only user of kill_proc_info_as_uid rename kill_proc_info_as_uid to kill_pid_info_as_uid and have the new version take a struct pid. Signed-off-by:

This has been needed for a long time, but now with the advent of a reference counted struct pid there are real consequences for getting this wrong. Someone I think it was Oleg Nesterov pointed out that this construct was missing locking, when I introduced struct pid. After taking time to review the locking construct already present I figured out which lock needs to be taken. The other paths that access f_owner.pid take either the f_owner read or the write lock.

As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to be fixed. This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra warnings. 53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

Only touch inode's i_mtime and i_ctime to make them equal to "now" in case they aren't yet (don't just update timestamp unconditionally). Uninline the hash function to save 259 Bytes. This tiny inode change which may improve cache behaviour also shaves off 8 Bytes from file_update_time() on i386. Included a tiny codestyle cleanup, too. Signed-off-by:

I took a good hard look at the locking and it appears the locking on vt_pid is the console semaphore. Every modified path is called under the console semaphore except reset_vc when it is called from fn_SAK or do_SAK both of which appear to be in interrupt context. In addition I need to be careful because in the presence of an oops the console_sem may be arbitrarily dropped. Which leads me to conclude the current locking is inadequate for my needs. Given the weird cases we could hit because of oops printing instead of introducing an extra spin lock to protect the data and keep the pid to signal and the signal to send in sync, I have opted to use xchg on just the struct pid * pointer instead. Due to console_sem we will stay in sync between vt_pid and vt_mode except for a small window during a SAK, or oops handling. SAK handling should kill any user space process that care, and oops handling we are broken anyway. Besides the worst that can happen is that I try to send the wrong signal. Signed-off-by:

This is such a rare path it took me a while to figure out how to test this after soring out the locking. This patch does several things. - The variables used are moved into a structure and declared in vt_kern.h - A spinlock is added so we don't have SMP races updating the values. - Instead of raw pid_t value a struct_pid is used to guard against pid wrap around issues, if the daemon to spawn a new console dies.

As we stop storing pid_t's and move to storing struct pid *. We need a way to get the pid_t from the struct pid to report to user space what we have stored. Having a clean well defined way to do this is especially important as we move to multiple pid spaces as may need to report a different value to the caller depending on which pid space the caller is in.
