7adae489fe [PATCH] knfsd: Prepare knfsd for support of rsize/wsize of up to 1MB, over TCP
The limit over UDP remains at 32K.  Also, make some of the apparently
arbitrary sizing constants clearer.

The biggest change here involves replacing NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE by a function of
the rqstp.  This allows it to be different for different protocols (udp/tcp)
and also allows it to depend on the servers declared sv_bufsiz.

Note that we don't actually increase sv_bufsz for nfs yet.  That comes next.

3cc03b164c [PATCH] knfsd: Avoid excess stack usage in svc_tcp_recvfrom
..  by allocating the array of 'kvec' in 'struct svc_rqst'.

As we plan to increase RPCSVC_MAXPAGES from 8 upto 256, we can no longer
allocate an array of this size on the stack.  So we allocate it in 'struct
svc_rqst'.

However svc_rqst contains (indirectly) an array of the same type and size
(actually several, but they are in a union).  So rather than waste space, we
move those arrays out of the separately allocated union and into svc_rqst to
share with the kvec moved out of svc_tcp_recvfrom (various arrays are used at
different times, so there is no conflict).

4452435948 [PATCH] knfsd: Replace two page lists in struct svc_rqst with one
We are planning to increase RPCSVC_MAXPAGES from about 8 to about 256.  This
means we need to be a bit careful about arrays of size RPCSVC_MAXPAGES.

struct svc_rqst contains two such arrays.  However the there are never more
that RPCSVC_MAXPAGES pages in the two arrays together, so only one array is
needed.

The two arrays are for the pages holding the request, and the pages holding
the reply.  Instead of two arrays, we can simply keep an index into where the
first reply page is.

This patch also removes a number of small inline functions that probably
server to obscure what is going on rather than clarify it, and opencode the
needed functionality.

Also remove the 'rq_restailpage' variable as it is *always* 0.  i.e.  if the
response 'xdr' structure has a non-empty tail it is always in the same pages
as the head.

 check counters are initilised and incr properly
 check for consistant usage of ++ etc
 maybe extra some inlines for common approach

37a034729a [PATCH] knfsd: call lockd_down when closing a socket via a write to nfsd/portlist
The refcount that nfsd holds on lockd is based on the number of open sockets.
So when we close a socket, we should decrement the ref (with lockd_down).

Currently when a socket is closed via writing to the portlist file, that
doesn't happen.

So: make sure we get an error return if the socket that was requested does is
not found, and call lockd_down if it was.

Given that these variables are only used in the debug printk, and they
merely remove a deref, we can easily kill the warning by adding the

afefdbb28a [PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbers
These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when
communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system.  They are required
because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS
for example.  The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace
automatically where the arch supports it.

Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode
number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and
failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and
so overlaps occur.

This patch:

Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit
inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace.

The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where
available and where possible.  If it is not possible to represent the inode
number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then
error EOVERFLOW will be issued.

Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode
number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a
directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented.

Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit
system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that
there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to.

Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a
32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the
same reasons.

It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc
uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions
exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter
unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

48516ced21 [GFS2] Remove uneeded endian conversion
In many places GFS2 was calling the endian conversion routines
for an inode even when only a single field, or a few fields might
have changed. As a result we were copying lots of data needlessly.

This patch replaces those calls with conversion of just the
required fields in each case. This should be faster and easier
to understand. There are still other places which suffer from this
problem, but this is a start in the right direction.

61a2878402 [PATCH] proc: Remove the hard coded inode numbers
The hard coded inode numbers in proc currently limit its maintainability,
its flexibility, and what can be done with the rest of system.  /proc limits
pid-max to 32768 on 32 bit systems it limits fd-max to 32768 on all systems,
and placing the pid in the inode number really gets in the way of implementing
subdirectories of per process information.

Ever since people started adding to the middle of the file type enumeration we
haven't been maintaing the historical inode numbers, all we have really
succeeded in doing is keeping the pid in the proc inode number.  The pid is
already available in the directory name so no information is lost removing it
from the inode number.

So if something in user space cares if we remove the inode number from the
/proc inode it is almost certainly broken.

444ceed8d1 [PATCH] proc: Factor out an instantiate method from every lookup method
To remove the hard coded proc inode numbers it is necessary to be able to
create the proc inodes during readdir.  The instantiate methods are the subset
of lookup that is needed to accomplish that.

This first step just splits the lookup methods into 2 functions.

801199ce80 [PATCH] proc: Make the generation of the self symlink table driven
This patch generalizes the concept of files in /proc that are related to
processes but live in the root directory of /proc

Ideally this would reuse infrastructure from the rest of the process specific
parts of proc but unfortunately security_task_to_inode must not be called on
files that are not strictly per process.  security_task_to_inode really needs
to be reexamined as the security label can change in important places that we
are not currently catching, but I'm not certain that simplifies this problem.

By at least matching the structure of the rest of proc we get more idiom reuse
and it becomes easier to spot problems in the way things are put together.

Later things like /proc/mounts are likely to be moved into proc_base as well.
If union mounts are ever supported we may be able to make /proc a union mount,
and properly split it into 2 filesystems.

96b644bdec [PATCH] namespaces: utsname: use init_utsname when appropriate
In some places, particularly drivers and __init code, the init utsns is the
appropriate one to use.  This patch replaces those with a the init_utsname
helper.

Changes: Removed several uses of init_utsname().  Hope I picked all the
	right ones in net/ipv4/ipconfig.c.  These are now changed to
	utsname() (the per-process namespace utsname) in the previous
	patch (2/7)

e9ff3990f0 [PATCH] namespaces: utsname: switch to using uts namespaces
Replace references to system_utsname to the per-process uts namespace
where appropriate.  This includes things like uname.

Changes: Per Eric Biederman's comments, use the per-process uts namespace
	for ELF_PLATFORM, sunrpc, and parts of net/ipv4/ipconfig.c
