[PATCH] rt-mutex: fixup rt-mutex debug code

2006-10-17T15:18:48+00:00

BUG: warning at kernel/rtmutex-debug.c:125/rt_mutex_debug_task_free() (Not tainted) [] show_trace_log_lvl+0x58/0x16a [] show_trace+0xd/0x10 [] dump_stack+0x19/0x1b [] rt_mutex_debug_task_free+0x35/0x6a [] free_task+0x15/0x24 [] copy_process+0x12bd/0x1324 [] do_fork+0x42/0x113 [] sys_fork+0x19/0x1b [] syscall_call+0x7/0xb In copy_process(), dup_task_struct() also duplicates the ->pi_lock, ->pi_waiters and ->pi_blocked_on members. rt_mutex_debug_task_free() called from free_task() validates these members. However free_task() can be invoked before these members are reset for the new task. Move the initialization code before the first bail that can hit free_task().

[PATCH] IPC namespace - utils

2006-10-02T14:57:22+00:00

This patch adds basic IPC namespace functionality to IPC utils: - init_ipc_ns - copy/clone/unshare/free IPC ns - /proc preparations Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelianov Signed-off-by: Kirill Korotaev Cc: "Eric W. Biederman" Cc: Cedric Le Goater Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] IPC namespace core

2006-10-02T14:57:22+00:00

This patch set allows to unshare IPCs and have a private set of IPC objects (sem, shm, msg) inside namespace. Basically, it is another building block of containers functionality. This patch implements core IPC namespace changes: - ipc_namespace structure - new config option CONFIG_IPC_NS - adds CLONE_NEWIPC flag - unshare support [clg@fr.ibm.com: small fix for unshare of ipc namespace] [akpm@osdl.org: build fix] Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelianov Signed-off-by: Kirill Korotaev Signed-off-by: Cedric Le Goater Cc: "Eric W.

[PATCH] uts: copy nsproxy only when needed

2006-10-02T14:57:22+00:00

The nsproxy was being copied in unshare() when anything was being unshared, even if it was something not referenced from nsproxy. This should end up in some cases with far more memory usage than necessary. Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn Cc: Kirill Korotaev Cc: "Eric W.

[PATCH] namespaces: utsname: implement CLONE_NEWUTS flag

2006-10-02T14:57:22+00:00

[PATCH] namespaces: incorporate fs namespace into nsproxy

2006-10-02T14:57:20+00:00

This moves the mount namespace into the nsproxy. The mount namespace count now refers to the number of nsproxies point to it, rather than the number of tasks. As a result, the unshare_namespace() function in kernel/fork.c no longer checks whether it is being shared. Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn Cc: Kirill Korotaev Cc: "Eric W.

[PATCH] namespaces: add nsproxy

2006-10-02T14:57:20+00:00

This patch adds a nsproxy structure to the task struct. Later patches will move the fs namespace pointer into this structure, and introduce a new utsname namespace into the nsproxy. The vserver and openvz functionality, then, would be implemented in large part by virtualizing/isolating more and more resources into namespaces, each contained in the nsproxy.

[PATCH] csa: convert CONFIG tag for extended accounting routines

2006-10-01T07:39:29+00:00

There were a few accounting data/macros that are used in CSA but are #ifdef'ed inside CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT. This patch is to change those ifdef's from CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT to CONFIG_TASK_XACCT. A few defines are moved from kernel/acct.c and include/linux/acct.h to kernel/tsacct.c and include/linux/tsacct_kern.h.

[PATCH] copy_process: cosmetic ->ioprio tweak

2006-09-29T16:18:18+00:00

copy_process: // holds tasklist_lock + ->siglock /* * inherit ioprio */ p->ioprio = current->ioprio; Why? ->ioprio was already copied in dup_task_struct(). I guess this is needed to ensure that the child can't escape sys_ioprio_set(IOPRIO_WHO_{PGRP,USER}), yes? In that case we don't need ->siglock held, and the comment should be updated.
