Provide a place in sysfs (/sys/class/bdi) for the backing_dev_info object. This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific variables. In particular this properly exposes the read-ahead window for all relevant users and /sys/block/<block>/queue/read_ahead_kb should be deprecated. With patient help from Kay Sievers and Greg KH [mszeredi@suse.cz] - split off NFS and FUSE changes into separate patches - document new sysfs attributes under Documentation/ABI - do bdi_class_init as a core_initcall, otherwise the "default" BDI won't be initialized - remove bdi_init_fmt macro, it's not used very much [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 warning] Signed-off-by:

These values represent the nesting level of a namespace and pids living in it, and it's always non-negative. Turning this from int to unsigned int saves some space in pid.c (11 bytes on x86 and 64 on ia64) by letting the compiler optimize the pid_nr_ns a bit. E.g. on ia64 this removes the sign extension calls, which compiler adds to optimize access to pid->nubers[ns->level]. Signed-off-by:

1. sys_getpgid() needs rcu_read_lock() to derive the pgrp _nr, even if the task is current, otherwise we can race with another thread which does sys_setpgid(). 2. Use rcu_read_lock() instead of tasklist_lock when pid != 0, make sure that we don't use the NULL pid if the task exits right after successful find_task_by_vpid(). Signed-off-by:

1. sys_getsid() needs rcu_read_lock() to derive the session _nr, even if the task is current, otherwise we can race with another thread which does sys_setsid(). 2. The task can exit between find_task_by_vpid() and task_session_vnr(), in that unlikely case sys_getsid() returns 0 instead of -ESRCH. Signed-off-by:

Use change_pid() instead of detach_pid() + attach_pid() in __set_special_pids(). This way task_session() is not NULL in between. Signed-off-by:

Based on Eric W. Biederman's idea. Without tasklist_lock held task_session()/task_pgrp() can return NULL if the caller races with setprgp()/setsid() which does detach_pid() + attach_pid(). This can happen even if task == current. Intoduce the new helper, change_pid(), which should be used instead. This way the caller always sees the special pid != NULL, either old or new. Also change the prototype of attach_pid(), it always returns 0 and nobody check the returned value. Signed-off-by:

Based on Eric W. Biederman's idea. Unless task == current, without tasklist_lock held task_session()/task_pgrp() can return NULL if the caller races with de_thread() which switches the group leader. Change transfer_pid() to not clear old->pids[type].pid for the old leader. This means that its .pid can point to "nowhere", but this is already true for sub-threads, and the old leader is not group_leader() any longer. IOW, with or without this change we can't trust task's special pids unless it is the group leader. With this change the following code rcu_read_lock(); task = find_task_by_xxx(); do_something(task_pgrp(task), task_session(task)); rcu_read_unlock(); can't race with exec and hit the NULL pid.

There are some places that are known to operate on tasks' global pids only: * the rest_init() call (called on boot) * the kgdb's getthread * the create_kthread() (since the kthread is run in init ns) So use the find_task_by_pid_ns(..., &init_pid_ns) there and schedule the find_task_by_pid for removal.

The pid to lookup a task by is passed inside taskstats code via genetlink message. Since netlink packets are now processed in the context of the sending task, this is correct to lookup the task with find_task_by_vpid() here. Besides, I fix the call to fill_pid() from taskstats_exit(), since the tsk->pid is not required in fill_pid() in this case, and the pid field on task_struct is going to be deprecated as well.

The callers of free_pidmap() pass 2 members of "struct upid", we can just pass "struct upid *" instead. Shaves off 10 bytes from pid.o. Also, simplify the alloc_pid's "out_free:" error path a little bit. This way it looks more clear which subset of pid->numbers[] we are freeing. Signed-off-by:

We are about to change the tty layer to avoid keeping private copies of all the methods in each tty. We have to update the pty layer first as it currently patches the ioctl method according to the tty type. Use multiple tty operations sets instead. Signed-off-by:
