      procfs: new helper - PDE_DATA(inode) · d9dda78b
      Al Viro authored
      
      The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc
      really cares about is PDE(inode)->data.  Provide a helper
      for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved
      to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry
      layout.

      AFS: Implement an autocell mount capability [ver #2] · bec5eb61
      wanglei authored
      Implement the ability for the root directory of a mounted AFS filesystem to
      accept lookups of arbitrary directory names, to interpet the names as the names
      of cells, to look the cell names up in the DNS for AFSDB records and to mount
      the root.cell volume of the nominated cell on the pseudo-directory created by
      lookup.
      
      This facility is requested by passing:
      
      	-o autocell
      
      to the mountpoint for which this is desired, usually the /afs mount.
      
      To use this facility, a DNS upcall program is required for AFSDB records.  This
      can be obtained from:
      
      	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/afs/dns.afsdb.c
      
      
      
      It should be compiled with -lresolv and -lkeyutils and installed as, say:
      
      	/usr/sbin/dns.afsdb
      
      Then the following line needs to be added to /sbin/request-key.conf:
      
      	create	dns_resolver afsdb:*	*	/usr/sbin/dns.afsdb %k
      
      This can be tested by mounting AFS, say:
      
      	insmod dns_resolver.ko
      	insmod af-rxrpc.ko
      	insmod kafs.ko rootcell=grand.central.org
      	mount -t afs "#grand.central.org:root.cell." /afs -o autocell
      
      and doing:
      
      	ls /afs/grand.central.org/
      
      which should show:
      
      	archive/  cvs/  doc/  local/  project/  service/  software/  user/  www/
      
      if it works.

      proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner · 99b76233
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
      as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
      ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
      in module refcount underflow.
      
      We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
      and ->data.
      
      But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
      and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
      switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
      some thoughts.
      
      ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
      protection.
      
      rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
      And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
      We definitely don't want such modular code.
      
      Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
      
      So, let's nuke it.
      
      Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

      Detach sched.h from mm.h · e8edc6e0
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      
      First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
      function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
      mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
      
      This patch
      a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
      b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
      c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
      d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
      e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
         getting them indirectly
      
      Net result is:
      a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
         they don't need sched.h
      b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
         on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
         after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).
      
      Cross-compile tested on
      
      	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
      	alpha alpha-up
      	arm
      	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig
      	ia64 ia64-up
      	m68k
      	mips
      	parisc parisc-up
      	powerpc powerpc-up
      	s390 s390-up
      	sparc sparc-up
      	sparc64 sparc64-up
      	um-x86_64
      	x86_64 x86_64-up x86_64-defconfig x86_64-allnoconfig
      
      as well as my two usual configs.

      [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h · cd354f1a
      Tim Schmielau authored
      
      After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
      recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
      There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
      anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
      macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
      course of cleaning it up.
      
      To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
      removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
      
      Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
      arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
      allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
      configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
      introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
      by unnecessarily included header files).

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
