We have an array 'nfsd_version' which lists the available versions of nfsd,
and 'nfsd_versions' (poor choice there :-() which lists the currently active
versions.
Then we have a bitmap - nfsd_versbits which says which versions are wanted.
The bits in this bitset cause content to be copied from nfsd_version to
nfsd_versions when nfsd starts.
This patch removes nfsd_versbits and moves information directly from
nfsd_version to nfsd_versions when requests for version changes arrive.
Note that this doesn't make it possible to change versions while the server is
running. This is because serv->sv_xdrsize is calculated when a service is

Currently lockd listens on UDP always, and TCP if CONFIG_NFSD_TCP is set.
However as lockd performs services of the client as well, this is a problem.
If CONFIG_NfSD_TCP is not set, and a tcp mount is used, the server will not be
able to call back to lockd.
So:
- add an option to lockd_up saying which protocol is needed
- Always open sockets for which an explicit port was given, otherwise
only open a socket of the type required
- Change nfsd to do one lockd_up per socket rather than one per thread.
This
- removes the dependancy on CONFIG_NFSD_TCP
- means that lockd may open sockets other than at startup
- means that lockd will *not* listen on UDP if the only
mounts are TCP mount (and nfsd hasn't started).
The latter is the only one that concerns me at all - I don't know if this

The problem: An opendir, readdir, closedir sequence can fail to report
process ids that are continually in use throughout the sequence of system
calls. For this race to trigger the process that proc_pid_readdir stops at
must exit before readdir is called again.
This can cause ps to fail to report processes, and it is in violation of
posix guarantees and normal application expectations with respect to
readdir.
Currently there is no way to work around this problem in user space short
of providing a gargantuan buffer to user space so the directory read all
happens in on system call.
This patch implements the normal directory semantics for proc, that
guarantee that a directory entry that is neither created nor destroyed
while reading the directory entry will be returned. For directory that are
either created or destroyed during the readdir you may or may not see them.
Furthermore you may seek to a directory offset you have previously seen.
These are the guarantee that ext[23] provides and that posix requires, and
more importantly that user space expects. Plus it is a simple semantic to
implement reliable service. It is just a matter of calling readdir a
second time if you are wondering if something new has show up.
These better semantics are implemented by scanning through the pids in
numerical order and by making the file offset a pid plus a fixed offset.
The pid scan happens on the pid bitmap, which when you look at it is
remarkably efficient for a brute force algorithm. Given that a typical
cache line is 64 bytes and thus covers space for 64*8 == 200 pids. There
are only 40 cache lines for the entire 32K pid space. A typical system
will have 100 pids or more so this is actually fewer cache lines we have to
look at to scan a linked list, and the worst case of having to scan the
entire pid bitmap is pretty reasonable.
If we need something more efficient we can go to a more efficient data
structure for indexing the pids, but for now what we have should be
sufficient.
In addition this takes no additional locks and is actually less code than
what we are doing now.
Also another very subtle bug in this area has been fixed. It is possible
to catch a task in the middle of de_thread where a thread is assuming the
thread of it's thread group leader. This patch carefully handles that case
so if we hit it we don't fail to return the pid, that is undergoing the
de_thread dance.

Using the infrastructure created in previous patches implement support to
pipe core dumps into programs.
This is done by overloading the existing core_pattern sysctl
with a new syntax:
|program
When the first character of the pattern is a '|' the kernel will instead
threat the rest of the pattern as a command to run. The core dump will be
written to the standard input of that program instead of to a file.
This is useful for having automatic core dump analysis without filling up
disks. The program can do some simple analysis and save only a summary of
the core dump.
The core dump proces will run with the privileges and in the name space of
the process that caused the core dump.
I also increased the core pattern size to 128 bytes so that longer command
lines fit.
Most of the changes comes from allowing core dumps without seeks. They are
fairly straight forward though.
One small incompatibility is that if someone had a core pattern previously
that started with '|' they will get suddenly new behaviour. I think that's
unlikely to be a real problem though.
Additional background:
> Very nice, do you happen to have a program that can accept this kind of
> input for crash dumps? I'm guessing that the embedded people will
> really want this functionality.
I had a cheesy demo/prototype. Basically it wrote the dump to a file again,
ran gdb on it to get a backtrace and wrote the summary to a shared directory.
Then there was a simple CGI script to generate a "top 10" crashes HTML
listing.
Unfortunately this still had the disadvantage to needing full disk space for a
dump except for deleting it afterwards (in fact it was worse because over the
pipe holes didn't work so if you have a holey address map it would require
more space).
Fortunately gdb seems to be happy to handle /proc/pid/fd/xxx input pipes as
cores (at least it worked with zsh's =(cat core) syntax), so it would be
likely possible to do it without temporary space with a simple wrapper that
calls it in the right way. I ran out of time before doing that though.
The demo prototype scripts weren't very good. If there is really interest I
can dig them out (they are currently on a laptop disk on the desk with the
laptop itself being in service), but I would recommend to rewrite them for any
serious application of this and fix the disk space problem.
Also to be really useful it should probably find a way to automatically fetch
the debuginfos (I cheated and just installed them in advance). If nobody else
does it I can probably do the rewrite myself again at some point.
My hope at some point was that desktops would support it in their builtin
crash reporters, but at least the KDE people I talked too seemed to be happy
with their user space only solution.
Alan sayeth:
I don't believe that piping as such as neccessarily the right model, but
the ability to intercept and processes core dumps from user space is asked
for by many enterprise users as well. They want to know about, capture,
analyse and process core dumps, often centrally and in automated form.

When a file system becomes fragmented (using MythTV, for example), the
bigalloc window searching ends up causing huge performance problems. In a
file system presented by a user experiencing this bug, the file system was
90% free, but no 32-block free windows existed on the entire file system.
This causes the allocator to scan the entire file system for each 128k
write before backing down to searching for individual blocks.
In the end, finding a contiguous window for all the blocks in a write is an
advantageous special case, but one that can be found naturally when such a
window exists anyway.

This is the patch the three previous ones have been leading up to.
It changes the behavior of ReiserFS from loading and caching all the bitmaps
as special, to treating the bitmaps like any other bit of metadata and just
letting the system-wide caches figure out what to hang on to.
Buffer heads are allocated on the fly, so there is no need to retain pointers
to all of them. The caching of the metadata occurs when the data is read and
updated, and is considered invalid and uncached until then.
I needed to remove the vs-4040 check for performing a duplicate operation on a
particular bit. The reason is that while the other sites for working with
bitmaps are allowed to schedule, is_reusable() is called from do_balance(),
which will panic if a schedule occurs in certain places.
The benefit of on-demand bitmaps clearly outweighs a sanity check that depends
on a compile-time option that is discouraged.

This patch moves the bitmap loading code from super.c to bitmap.c
The code is also restructured somewhat. The only difference between new
format bitmaps and old format bitmaps is where they are. That's a two liner
before loading the block to use the correct one. There's no need for an
entirely separate code path.
The load path is generally the same, with the pattern being to throw out a
bunch of requests and then wait for them, then cache the metadata from the
contents.
Again, like the previous patches, the purpose is to set up for later ones.
Update: There was a bug in the previously posted version of this that resulted
in corruption. The problem was that bitmap 0 on new format file systems must
be treated specially, and wasn't. A stupid bug with an easy fix.
This is hopefully the last fix for the disaster that is the reiserfs bitmap
patch set.
If a bitmap block was full, first_zero_hint would end up at zero since it
would never be changed from it's zeroed out value. This just sets it
beyond the end of the bitmap block. If any bits are freed, it will be
reset to a valid bit. When info->free_count = 0, then we already know it's
full.

It also uses proper reference counting, doing a get_bh() after using the

In the very low memory systems is in the init_bio call
scale parameter set to zero and it leads to creating
zero sized mempool.
This patch prevents pool_entries parameter become zero,
so the created pool have at least 1 entry.
Mempool with 0 entries lead to incorrect behaviour
of mempool_free. (Alloc requests are not waken up
and system stalls in mempool_alloc->ioschedule).

Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.
This patch does the following:
(*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
support.
(*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
an item that uses the block layer. This includes:
(*) Block I/O tracing.
(*) Disk partition code.
(*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.
(*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.
(*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
drivers.
(*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.
(*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.
(*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is,
however, still used in places, and so is still available.
(*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
parts of linux/fs.h.
(*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
is not enabled.
(*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:
(*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).
(*) Makes some /proc changes:
(*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.
(*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.
(*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.
(*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).
(*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.
