Joe Korty b231cca438 message queues: increase range limits
Increase the range of various posix message queue limits.

Posix gives the message queue user the ability to 'trade off' the maximum
size of messages with the number of possible messages that can be 'in
flight'.  Linux currently makes this trade off more restrictive than it
needs to be.

In particular, the maximum message size today can be made no smaller than
8192.  This greatly restricts those applications that would like to have
the ability to post large numbers of very small messages.

So this task lowers the limit that the maximum message size can be set to,
from 8192 to 128.  It also lowers the limit that the maximum #number of
messages in flight can be set to, from 10 to 1.

With these changes the message queue user can make better trade offs
between #messages and message size, in order to get everything to fit
within the setrlimit(RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE) limit for that particular user.

This patch also applies the values in

	/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max
	/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_max

as the defaults for the max #messages allowed and the max message size
allowed, respectively, for those applications that do not supply these.
Previously, the defaults were hardwired to 10 and 8192, respectively.

Non-trivial places are:

Dave Hansen 4a3fd211cc [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: elevate write count for open()s
This is the first really tricky patch in the series.  It elevates the writer
count on a mount each time a non-special file is opened for write.

We used to do this in may_open(), but Miklos pointed out that __dentry_open()
is used as well to create filps.  This will cover even those cases, while a
call in may_open() would not have.

There is also an elevated count around the vfs_create() call in open_namei().
See the comments for more details, but we need this to fix a 'create, remount,
fail r/w open()' race.

Some filesystems forego the use of normal vfs calls to create
struct files.   Make sure that these users elevate the mnt
writer count because they will get __fput(), and we need
to make sure they're balanced.

Pavel Emelyanov 56496c1d83 Pidns: fix badly converted mqueues pid handling
When sending the pid namespaces patches I wrongly converted the tsk->tgid into
task_pid_vnr(tsk) in mqueue-s (the git id of this patch is
b488893a39).

The proper behavior is to get the task_tgid_vnr(tsk).

This seem to be the only mistake of that kind.

Some time ago the xxx_vnr() calls (e.g.  pid_vnr or find_task_by_vpid) were
_all_ converted to operate on the current pid namespace.  After this each call
like xxx_nr_ns(foo, current->nsproxy->pid_ns) is nothing but a xxx_vnr(foo)
one.

Switch all the xxx_nr_ns() callers to use the xxx_vnr() calls where
appropriate.

Pavel Emelyanov b488893a39 pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to user
This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.

The idea is:
 - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
   or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
 - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
   should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
 - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
   should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
   task's namespace the global one is to be used;
 - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
   the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

Christoph Lameter 50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

Eric W. Biederman 0b4d414714 [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.

Miklos Szeredi 75e1fcc0b1 [PATCH] vfs: add lock owner argument to flush operation
Pass the POSIX lock owner ID to the flush operation.

This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state
in inode->i_flock but want to handle locking/unlocking POSIX locks
internally.  FUSE is one such filesystem but I think it possible that some
network filesystems would need this also.

Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by
close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking
request in this case.

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.

George C. Wilson 20ca73bc79 [PATCH] Audit of POSIX Message Queue Syscalls v.2
This patch adds audit support to POSIX message queues.  It applies cleanly to
the lspp.b15 branch of Al Viro's git tree.  There are new auxiliary data
structures, and collection and emission routines in kernel/auditsc.c.  New hooks
in ipc/mqueue.c collect arguments from the syscalls.

I tested the patch by building the examples from the POSIX MQ library tarball.
Build them -lrt, not against the old MQ library in the tarball.  Here's the URL:
http://www.geocities.com/wronski12/posix_ipc/libmqueue-4.41.tar.gz
Do auditctl -a exit,always -S for mq_open, mq_timedsend, mq_timedreceive,
mq_notify, mq_getsetattr.  mq_unlink has no new hooks.  Please see the
corresponding userspace patch to get correct output from auditd for the new
record types.

Alexey Kuznetsov a70ea994a0 [NETLINK]: Fix a severe bug
netlink overrun was broken while improvement of netlink.
Destination socket is used in the place where it was meant to be source socket,
so that now overrun is never sent to user netlink sockets, when it should be,
and it even can be set on kernel socket, which results in complete deadlock
of rtnetlink.

Suggested fix is to restore status quo passing source socket as additional
argument to netlink_attachskb().

A little explanation: overrun is set on a socket, when it failed
to receive some message and sender of this messages does not or even
have no way to handle this error. This happens in two cases:
1. when kernel sends something. Kernel never retransmits and cannot
   wait for buffer space.
2. when user sends a broadcast and the message was not delivered
   to some recipients.

Alexander Viro 7c7dce9209 [PATCH] Fix double decrement of mqueue_mnt->mnt_count in sys_mq_open
Fixed the refcounting on failure exits in sys_mq_open() and
cleaned the logics up.  Rules are actually pretty simple - dentry_open()
expects vfsmount and dentry to be pinned down and it either transfers
them into created struct file or drops them.  Old code had been very
confused in that area - if dentry_open() had failed either in do_open()
or do_create(), we ended up dentry and mqueue_mnt dropped twice, once
by dentry_open() cleanup and then by sys_mq_open().

Fix consists of making the rules for do_create() and do_open()
same as for dentry_open() and updating the sys_mq_open() accordingly;
that actually leads to more straightforward code and less work on
normal path.
