The "proportional set size" (PSS) of a process is the count of pages it has
in memory, where each page is divided by the number of processes sharing
it. So if a process has 1000 pages all to itself, and 1000 shared with one
other process, its PSS will be 1500.
- lwn.net: "ELC: How much memory are applications really using?"
The PSS proposed by Matt Mackall is a very nice metic for measuring an
process's memory footprint. So collect and export it via
/proc/<pid>/smaps.
Matt Mackall's pagemap/kpagemap and John Berthels's exmap can also do the
job. They are comprehensive tools. But for PSS, let's do it in the simple
way.

The constructor for buffer_head slabs was removed recently. We need the
constructor back in slab defrag in order to insure that slab objects always
have a definite state even before we allocated them.
I think we mistakenly merged the removal of the constuctor into a cleanup
patch. You (ie: akpm) had a test that showed that the removal of the
constructor led to a small regression. The prior state makes things easier
for slab defrag.

Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions
zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2)
Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to
start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and
makes code clearer.
zero_user_segment(page, start, end)
Same for a single segment.
zero_user(page, start, length)
Length variant for the case where we know the length.
We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues:
1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable.
2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM.
Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the
code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always
KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code.
Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing
with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with
kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those
configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other
functions defined in highmem.h.
Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page
function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced
here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these
functions are called.
Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.

This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:
int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
const struct itimerspec *utmr,
struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);
The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.
The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).
The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time.
The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.
Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:

Actually, given the implementation of simple_transaction_get(), buf[-1]

buf[size-1] will catch this case.

Neither EPERM and ENOENT map to valid errors for PUTROOTFH according to
rfc 3530, and, if anything, ENOENT is likely to be slightly more
informative; so don't bother mapping ENOENT to EPERM. (Probably this
was originally done because one likely cause was that there is an fsid=0
export but that it isn't permitted to this particular client. Now that
we allow WRONGSEC returns, this is somewhat less likely.)
In the long term we should work to make this situation less likely,
perhaps by turning off nfsv4 service entirely in the absence of the
pseudofs root, or constructing a pseudofilesystem root ourselves in the
kernel as necessary.

Update the write handler for the portlist file to allow creating new
listening endpoints on a transport. The general form of the string is:
<transport_name><space><port number>
For example:
echo "tcp 2049" > /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist
This is intended to support the creation of a listening endpoint for
RDMA transports without adding #ifdef code to the nfssvc.c file.
Transports can also be removed as follows:
'-'<transport_name><space><port number>
For example:
echo "-tcp 2049" > /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist
Attempting to add a listener with an invalid transport string results
in EPROTONOSUPPORT and a perror string of "Protocol not supported".
Attempting to remove an non-existent listener (.e.g. bad proto or port)
results in ENOTCONN and a perror string of

the moving of these lists to svc_xprt with making close transport independent.
The svc_force_sock_close has been changed to svc_close_all and takes a list

Based on the comment, this appears to have been done to prevent some

Perhaps we should remove that hack completely. For now, at least, it
makes sense to allow root (when no_root_squash is set) to set uid and
gid.
While we're there, since nfsd_create and nfsd_create_v3 share the same

This patch addresses a compatibility issue with a Linux NFS server and
AIX NFS client.
I have exported /export as fsid=0 with sec=krb5:krb5i
I have mount --bind /home onto /export/home
I have exported /export/home with sec=krb5i
The AIX client mounts / -o sec=krb5:krb5i onto /mnt
If I do an ls /mnt, the AIX client gets a permission error. Looking at
the network traceIwe see a READDIR looking for attributes
FATTR4_RDATTR_ERROR and FATTR4_MOUNTED_ON_FILEID. The response gives a
NFS4ERR_WRONGSEC which the AIX client is not expecting.
Since the AIX client is only asking for an attribute that is an
attribute of the parent file system (pseudo root in my example), it
seems reasonable that there should not be an error.
In discussing this issue with Bruce Fields, I initially proposed
ignoring the error in nfsd4_encode_dirent_fattr() if all that was being
asked for was FATTR4_RDATTR_ERROR and FATTR4_MOUNTED_ON_FILEID, however,
Bruce suggested that we avoid calling cross_mnt() if only these
attributes are requested.
The following patch implements bypassing cross_mnt() if only
FATTR4_RDATTR_ERROR and FATTR4_MOUNTED_ON_FILEID are called. Since there
is some complexity in the code in nfsd4_encode_fattr(), I didn't want to
duplicate code (and introduce a maintenance nightmare), so I added a
parameter to nfsd4_encode_fattr() that indicates whether it should
ignore cross mounts and simply fill in the attribute using the passed in
dentry as opposed to it's parent.

The failure to return a stateowner from nfs4_preprocess_seqid_op() means
in the case where a lock request is of a type incompatible with an open
(due to, e.g., an application attempting a write lock on a file open for
read), means that fs/nfsd/nfs4xdr.c:ENCODE_SEQID_OP_TAIL() never bumps
the seqid as it should. The client, attempting to close the file
afterwards, then gets an (incorrect) bad sequence id error. Worse, this
prevents the open file from ever being closed, so we leak state.

When the callback channel fails, we inform the client of that by
returning a cb_path_down error the next time it tries to renew its
lease.
If we wait most of a lease period before deciding that a callback has
failed and that the callback channel is down, then we decrease the
chances that the client will find out in time to do anything about it.
So, mark the channel down as soon as we recognize that an rpc has
failed. However, continue trying to recall delegations anyway, in hopes
it will come back up. This will prevent more delegations from being
given out, and ensure cb_path_down is returned to renew calls earlier,
while still making the best effort to deliver recalls of existing
delegations.

If conf and unconf are both found in the lookup by cl_clientid, then

"probable callback update" case in setclientid, where we copy the old

Therefore two clients with the same cl_client field also always share
the same cl_name field, and a couple of the checks here are redundant.

Newer server features such as nfsv4 and gss depend on proc to work, so a
failure to initialize the proc files they need should be treated as
fatal.

I assume the reason failure of creation was ignored here was just to
continue support embedded systems that want nfsd but not proc.
However, in cases where proc is supported it would be clearer to fail
entirely than to come up with some features disabled.

If the reply cache initialization fails due to a kmalloc failure,
currently we try to soldier on with a reduced (or nonexistant) reply
cache.
Better to just fail immediately: the failure is then much easier to
understand and debug, and it could save us complexity in some later
code. (But actually, it doesn't help currently because the cache is
also turned off in some odd failure cases; we should probably find a
better way to handle those failure cases some day.)
Fix some minor style problems while we're at it, and rename
nfsd_cache_init() to remove the need for a comment describing it.

The length "nbytes" passed into read_buf should never be negative, but
we check only for too-large values of "nbytes", not for too-small
values. Make nbytes unsigned, so it's clear that the former tests are
sufficient. (Despite this read_buf() currently correctly returns an xdr
error in the case of a negative length, thanks to an unsigned
comparison with size_of() and bounds-checking in kmalloc(). This seems
very fragile, though.)

The whole reason to move this callback-channel probe into a separate

Our callback code doesn't actually handle concurrent attempts to probe
the callback channel. Some rethinking of the locking may be required.
However, we can also just move the callback probing to this case. Since
this is the only time a client is "confirmed" (and since that can only
happen once in the lifetime of a client), this ensures we only probe
once.

To prevent the master of an rsb from changing rapidly, an unused rsb is kept
on the "toss list" for a period of time to be reused. The toss list was
being cleared completely for each recovery, which is unnecessary. Much of
the benefit of the toss list can be maintained if nodes keep rsb's in their
toss list that they are the master of. These rsb's need to be included

There was some hit and miss validation of messages that has now been
cleaned up and unified. Before processing a message, the new
validate_message() function checks that the lkb is the appropriate type,
process-copy or master-copy, and that the message is from the correct
nodeid for the the given lkb. Other checks and assertions on the
lkb type and nodeid have been removed. The assertions were particularly
bad since they would panic the machine instead of just ignoring the bad
message.
Although other recent patches have made processing old message unlikely,
it still may be possible for an old message to be processed and caught
by these checks.

Messages from nodes that are no longer members of the lockspace should be

sometimes complete quickly enough that messages arrive from a removed node

The lkb_ast_type field indicates whether the lkb is on the astqueue list.
When clearing locks for a process, lkb's were being removed from the astqueue

immediately afterward, it could try to remove the lkb from the list a second
time.
Appears when process calls libdlm dlm_release_lockspace() which first
closes the ls dev triggering clear_proc_locks, and then removes the ls

This adds fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c, a wrapper around fs/binfmt_elf.c for
32-bit ELF support on 64-bit kernels. It can replace all the hand-rolled
versions of this that each 32/64 arch has, which are all about the same.
To use this, an arch's asm/elf.h has to define at least a few compat_*
macros that parallel the various macros that fs/binfmt_elf.c uses for
native support.
There is no attempt to deal with compat macros for the core dump format
support. To use this file, the arch has to define compat_gregset_t for
linux/elfcore-compat.h and #define CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET. The 32-bit
compatible formats should come automatically from task_user_regset_view
called on a 32-bit task.

This modifies the ELF core dump code under #ifdef CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET.
It changes nothing when this macro is not defined. When it's #define'd
by some arch header (e.g. asm/elf.h), the arch must support the
user_regset (linux/regset.h) interface for reading thread state.
This provides an alternate version of note segment writing that is based
purely on the user_regset interfaces. When CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET is set,
the arch need not define macros such as ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and ELF_ARCH.
All that information is taken from the user_regset data structures.
The core dumps come out exactly the same if arch's definitions for its
user_regset details are correct.

The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
a potentially less optimal trylock.
Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
__raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
not set.
Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
with that break_lock then?).

Randomize the location of the heap (brk) for i386 and x86_64. The range is
randomized in the range starting at current brk location up to 0x02000000
offset for both architectures. This, together with
pie-executable-randomization.patch and
pie-executable-randomization-fix.patch, should make the address space
randomization on i386 and x86_64 complete.
Arjan says:
This is known to break older versions of some emacs variants, whose dumper
code assumed that the last variable declared in the program is equal to the
start of the dynamically allocated memory region.
(The dumper is the code where emacs effectively dumps core at the end of it's
compilation stage; this coredump is then loaded as the main program during
normal use)
iirc this was 5 years or so; we found this way back when I was at RH and we
first did the security stuff there (including this brk randomization). It
wasn't all variants of emacs, and it got fixed as a result (I vaguely remember
that emacs already had code to deal with it for other archs/oses, just
ifdeffed wrongly).
It's a rare and wrong assumption as a general thing, just on x86 it mostly
happened to be true (but to be honest, it'll break too if gcc does
something fancy or if the linker does a non-standard order). Still its
something we should at least document.
Note 2: afaik it only broke the emacs *build*. I'm not 100% sure about that
(it IS 5 years ago) though.
