Sukadev Bhattiprolu 1f71ebedb3 devpts: correctly set default options
devpts_get_sb() calls memset(0) to clear mount options and calls
parse_mount_options() if user specified any mount options.

The memset(0) is bogus since the 'mode' and 'ptmxmode' options are
non-zero by default.  parse_mount_options() restores options to default
anyway and can properly deal with NULL mount options.

So in devpts_get_sb() remove memset(0) and call parse_mount_options() even
for NULL mount options.

Sukadev Bhattiprolu fdbf534866 Unroll essentials of do_remount_sb() into devpts
On remount, devpts fs only needs to parse the mount options. Users cannot
directly create/dirty files in /dev/pts so the MS_RDONLY flag and
shrinking the dcache does not really apply to devpts.

So effectively on remount, devpts only parses the mount options and updates
these options in its super block. As such, we could replace do_remount_sb()
call with a direct parse_mount_options().

Doing so enables subsequent patches to avoid parsing the mount options twice
and simplify the code.

Sukadev Bhattiprolu a3ec947c85 vfs: simple_set_mnt() should return void
simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0.
Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if
it were to _ever_ fail.  For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev()
should:

        up_write(sb->s_unmount);
        deactivate_super(sb);

if simple_set_mnt() fails.

Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not
return anything.

Sukadev Bhattiprolu 2a1b2dc0c8 Enable multiple instances of devpts
To support containers, allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem, such
that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of ptys
allocated in other instances of devpts.

But to preserve backward compatibility, enable this support for multiple
instances only if:

	- CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is set to Y, and
	- '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts

To use multi-instance mount, a container startup script could:

	$ ns_exec -cm /bin/bash
	$ umount /dev/pts
	$ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts
	$ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
	$ /usr/sbin/sshd -p 1234

where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' is calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs
/bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in
the original mount of /dev/pts.

USER-SPACE-IMPACT:
	- See Documentation/fs/devpts.txt (included in next patch) for user-
	  space impact in multi-instance and mixed-mode operation.
TODO:
	- Update mount(8), pts(4) man pages. Highlight impact of not
	  redirecting /dev/ptmx to /dev/pts/ptmx after a multi-instance mount.

Changelog[v6]:
	- [Dave Hansen] Use new get_init_pts_sb() interface
	- [Serge Hallyn] Don't bother displaying 'newinstance' in show_options
	- [Serge Hallyn] Use macros (PARSE_REMOUNT/PARSE_MOUNT) instead of 0/1.
	- [Serge Hallyn] Check error return from get_sb_single() (now
	  get_init_pts_sb())
	- devpts_pty_kill(): don't dput error dentries

Changelog[v5]:
	- Move get_sb_ref() definition to earlier patch
	- Move usage info to Documentation/filesystems/devpts.txt (next patch)
	- Make ptmx node even in init_pts_ns, now that default mode is 0000
	  (defined in earlier patch, enabled here).
	- Cache ptmx dentry and use to update mode during remount
	  (defined in earlier patch, enabled here).
	- Bugfix: explicitly ignore newinstance on remount (if newinstance was
	  specified on remount of initial mount, it would be ignored but
	  /proc/mounts would imply that the option was set)

Changelog[v4]:

	- Update patch description to address H. Peter Anvin's comments
	- Consolidate multi-instance mode code under new config token,
	  CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCE.
	- Move usage-details from patch description to
	  Documentation/fs/devpts.txt

Changelog[v3]:
	- Rename new mount option to 'newinstance'
	- Create ptmx nodes only in 'newinstance' mounts
	- Bugfix: parse_mount_options() modifies @data but since we need to
	  parse the @data twice (once in devpts_get_sb() and once during
	  do_remount_sb()), parse a local copy of @data in devpts_get_sb().
	  (restructured code in devpts_get_sb() to fix this)

Changelog[v2]:
	- Support both single-mount and multiple-mount semantics and
	  provide '-onewmnt' option to select the semantics.

Sukadev Bhattiprolu 1f8f1e2965 Define mknod_ptmx()
/dev/ptmx is closely tied to the devpts filesystem. An open of /dev/ptmx,
allocates the next pty index and the associated device shows up in the
devpts fs as /dev/pts/n.

Wih multiple instancs of devpts filesystem, during an open of /dev/ptmx
we would be unable to determine which instance of the devpts is being
accessed.

So we move the 'ptmx' node into /dev/pts and use the inode of the 'ptmx'
node to identify the superblock and hence the devpts instance.  This patch
adds ability for the kernel to internally create the [ptmx, c, 5:2] device
when mounting devpts filesystem.  Since the ptmx node in devpts is new and
may surprise some userspace scripts, the default permissions for the new
node is 0000.  These permissions can be changed either using chmod or by
remounting with the new '-o ptmxmode=0666' mount option.

Changelog[v5]:
	- [Serge Hallyn bugfix]: Letting new_inode() assign inode number to
	  ptmx can collide with hand-assigning inode numbers to ptys. So,
	  hand-assign specific inode number to ptmx node also.
	- [Serge Hallyn]: Maybe safer to grab root dentry mutex while creating
	  ptmx node
	- [Bugfix with Serge Hallyn] Replace lookup_one_len() in mknod_ptmx()
	  wih d_alloc_name() (lookup during ->get_sb() locks up system). To
	  simplify patchset, fold the ptmx_dentry patch into this.

Changelog[v4]:
	- Change default permissions of pts/ptmx node to 0000.
	- Move code for ptmxmode under #ifdef CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES.

Changelog[v3]:
	- Rename ptmx_mode to ptmxmode (for consistency with 'newinstance')

Changelog[v2]:
	- [H. Peter Anvin] Remove mknod() system call support and create the
	  ptmx node internally.

Changelog[v1]:
	- Earlier version of this patch enabled creating /dev/pts/tty as
	  well. As pointed out by Al Viro and H. Peter Anvin, that is not
	  really necessary.

on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).

This patch:

The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

David Howells 454e2398be [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.

The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).

The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.

This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.

The patch also makes the following changes:

 (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
     pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
     very little.

 (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
     normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
     always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().

 (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
     dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().

     This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
     aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
     currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
     and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
     dentries being left unculled.

     However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
     implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
     simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
     inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
     with child trees.

     [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.

 (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
     changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

Jes Sorensen 1b1dcc1b57 [PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_sem
This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.

Stephen Smalley f549d6c18c [PATCH] Generic VFS fallback for security xattrs
This patch modifies the VFS setxattr, getxattr, and listxattr code to fall
back to the security module for security xattrs if the filesystem does not
support xattrs natively.  This allows security modules to export the incore
inode security label information to userspace even if the filesystem does
not provide xattr storage, and eliminates the need to individually patch
various pseudo filesystem types to provide such access.  The patch removes
the existing xattr code from devpts and tmpfs as it is then no longer
needed.

The patch restructures the code flow slightly to reduce duplication between
the normal path and the fallback path, but this should only have one
user-visible side effect - a program may get -EACCES rather than
-EOPNOTSUPP if policy denied access but the filesystem didn't support the
operation anyway.  Note that the post_setxattr hook call is not needed in
the fallback case, as the inode_setsecurity hook call handles the incore
inode security state update directly.  In contrast, we do call fsnotify in
both cases.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
