namespaces: move the IPC namespace under IPC_NS option Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files. I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed. The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case. This is done so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h. But the linux/ipc.h file itself in included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that good. On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required in 4 .c files only. Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c, msg.c and shm.c files. It turned out that moving these functions into namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros from the original file. Moving them would make this patch complicated. On the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a separate patch doing this a bit later.

ipc: do not use a negative value to re-enable msgmni automatic recomputing This patch proposes an alternative to the "magical positive-versus-negative number trick" Andrew complained about last week in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/24/418. This had been introduced with the patches that scale msgmni to the amount of lowmem. With these patches, msgmni has a registered notification routine that recomputes msgmni value upon memory add/remove or ipc namespace creation/ removal. When msgmni is changed from user space (i.e. value written to the proc file), that notification routine is unregistered, and the way to make it registered back is to write a negative value into the proc file. This is the "magical positive-versus-negative number trick". To fix this, a new proc file is introduced: /proc/sys/kernel/auto_msgmni. This file acts as ON/OFF for msgmni automatic recomputing. With this patch, the process is the following: 1) kernel boots in "automatic recomputing mode" /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni contains the value that has been computed (depends on lowmem) /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni contains "1" 2) echo <val> > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni . sets msg_ctlmni to <val> . de-activates automatic recomputing (i.e. if, say, some memory is added msgmni won't be recomputed anymore) . /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni now contains "0" 3) echo "0" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni . de-activates msgmni automatic recomputing this has the same effect as 2) except that msg_ctlmni's value stays blocked at its current value) 3) echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni . recomputes msgmni's value based on the current available memory size and number of ipc namespaces . re-activates automatic recomputing for msgmni.

ipc: do not use a negative value to re-enable msgmni automatic recomputing This patch proposes an alternative to the "magical positive-versus-negative number trick" Andrew complained about last week in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/24/418. This had been introduced with the patches that scale msgmni to the amount of lowmem. With these patches, msgmni has a registered notification routine that recomputes msgmni value upon memory add/remove or ipc namespace creation/ removal. When msgmni is changed from user space (i.e. value written to the proc file), that notification routine is unregistered, and the way to make it registered back is to write a negative value into the proc file. This is the "magical positive-versus-negative number trick". To fix this, a new proc file is introduced: /proc/sys/kernel/auto_msgmni. This file acts as ON/OFF for msgmni automatic recomputing. With this patch, the process is the following: 1) kernel boots in "automatic recomputing mode" /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni contains the value that has been computed (depends on lowmem) /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni contains "1" 2) echo <val> > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni . sets msg_ctlmni to <val> . de-activates automatic recomputing (i.e. if, say, some memory is added msgmni won't be recomputed anymore) . /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni now contains "0" 3) echo "0" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni . de-activates msgmni automatic recomputing this has the same effect as 2) except that msg_ctlmni's value stays blocked at its current value) 3) echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni . recomputes msgmni's value based on the current available memory size and number of ipc namespaces . re-activates automatic recomputing for msgmni.

[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
