This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.
Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
<dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

Long ago when the CLONE_THREAD support first went it someone thought it
would be wise to point /proc/self at /proc/<tgid> instead of /proc/<pid>.
Given that /proc/<tgid> can return information about a very different task
(if enough things have been unshared) then our current process /proc/<tgid>
seems blatantly wrong. So far I have yet to think up an example where the
current behavior would be advantageous, and I can see several places where
it is seriously non-intuitive.
We may be stuck with the current broken behavior for backwards
compatibility reasons but lets try fixing our ancient bug for the 2.6.25
time frame and see if anyone screams.

Currently (as pointed out by Oleg) do_task_stat has a race when calling
task_pid_nr_ns with the task exiting. In addition do_task_stat is not
currently displaying information in the context of the pid namespace that
mounted the /proc filesystem. So "cut -d' ' -f 1 /proc/<pid>/stat" may not
equal <pid>.
This patch fixes the problem by converting to a single_open seq_file show
method. Getting the pid namespace from the filesystem superblock instead of
current, and simply using the the struct pid from the inode instead of
attempting to get that same pid from the task.

This patch fixes a sles9 system hang in start_this_handle from a customer
with some heavy workload where all tasks are waiting on kjournald to commit
the transaction, but kjournald waits on t_updates to go down to zero (it
never does).
This was reported as a lowmem shortage deadlock but when checking the debug
data I noticed the VM wasn't under pressure at all (well it was really
under vm pressure, because lots of tasks hanged in the VM prune_dcache
methods trying to flush dirty inodes, but no task was hanging in GFP_NOFS
mode, the holder of the journal handle should have if this was a vm issue
in the first place).
No task was apparently holding the leftover handle in the committing
transaction, so I deduced t_updates was stuck to 1 because a journal_stop
was never run by some path (this turned out to be correct). With a debug
patch adding proper reverse links and stack trace logging in ext3 deployed
in production, I found journal_stop is never run because
mark_inode_dirty_sync is called inside release_task called by do_exit.
(that was quite fun because I would have never thought about this
subtleness, I thought a regular path in ext3 had a bug and it forgot to
call journal_stop)
do_exit->release_task->mark_inode_dirty_sync->schedule() (will never
come back to run journal_stop)
The reason is that shrink_dcache_parent is racy by design (feature not
a bug) and it can do blocking I/O in some case, but the point is that
calling shrink_dcache_parent at the last stage of do_exit isn't safe
for self-reaping tasks.
I guess the memory pressure of the unbalanced highmem system allowed
to trigger this more easily.
Now mainline doesn't have this line in iput (like sles9 has):
if (inode->i_state & I_DIRTY_DELAYED)
mark_inode_dirty_sync(inode);
so it will probably not crash with ext3, but for example ext2 implements an
I/O-blocking ext2_put_inode that will lead to similar screwups with
ext2_free_blocks never coming back and it's definitely wrong to call
blocking-IO paths inside do_exit. So this should fix a subtle bug in
mainline too (not verified in practice though). The equivalent fix for
ext3 is also not verified yet to fix the problem in sles9 but I don't have
doubt it will (it usually takes days to crash, so it'll take weeks to be
sure).
An alternate fix would be to offload that work to a kernel thread, but I
don't think a reschedule for this is worth it, the vm should be able to
collect those entries for the synchronous release_task.

Oleg noticed that the call of task_pid_nr_ns() in proc_pid_readdir
is racy with respect to tasks exiting.
After a bit of examination it also appears that the call itself
is completely unnecessary.
So to fix the problem this patch modifies next_tgid() to return
both a tgid and the task struct in question.
A structure is introduced to return these values because it is
slightly cleaner and easier to optimize, and the resulting code
is a little shorter.

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.

The namespace's proc_mnt must be kern_mount-ed to make this pointer always
valid, independently of whether the user space mounted the proc or not. This
solves raced in proc_flush_task, etc. with the proc_mnt switching from NULL
to not-NULL.
The initialization is done after the init's pid is created and hashed to make
proc_get_sb() finr it and get for root inode.
Sice the namespace holds the vfsmnt, vfsmnt holds the superblock and the
superblock holds the namespace we must explicitly break this circle to destroy
all the stuff. This is done after the init of the namespace dies. Running a
few steps forward - when init exits it will kill all its children, so no
proc_mnt will be needed after its death.

The first part is trivial - we just make the proc_flush_task() to operate on
arbitrary vfsmount with arbitrary ids and pass the pid and global proc_mnt to
it.
The other change is more tricky: I moved the proc_flush_task() call in
release_task() higher to address the following problem.
When flushing task from many proc trees we need to know the set of ids (not
just one pid) to find the dentries' names to flush. Thus we need to pass the
task's pid to proc_flush_task() as struct pid is the only object that can
provide all the pid numbers. But after __exit_signal() task has detached all
his pids and this information is lost.
This creates a tiny gap for proc_pid_lookup() to bring some dentries back to
tree and keep them in hash (since pids are still alive before __exit_signal())
till the next shrink, but since proc_flush_task() does not provide a 100%
guarantee that the dentries will be flushed, this is OK to do so.

When someone wants to deal with some other taks's namespaces it has to lock
the task and then to get the desired namespace if the one exists. This is
slow on read-only paths and may be impossible in some cases.
E.g. Oleg recently noticed a race between unshare() and the (sent for
review in cgroups) pid namespaces - when the task notifies the parent it
has to know the parent's namespace, but taking the task_lock() is
impossible there - the code is under write locked tasklist lock.
On the other hand switching the namespace on task (daemonize) and releasing
the namespace (after the last task exit) is rather rare operation and we
can sacrifice its speed to solve the issues above.
The access to other task namespaces is proposed to be performed
like this:
rcu_read_lock();
nsproxy = task_nsproxy(tsk);
if (nsproxy != NULL) {
/ *
* work with the namespaces here
* e.g. get the reference on one of them
* /
} / *
* NULL task_nsproxy() means that this task is
* almost dead (zombie)
* /
rcu_read_unlock();
This patch has passed the review by Eric and Oleg :) and,
of course, tested.

Fix f_version type: should be u64 instead of long
There is a type inconsistency between struct inode i_version and struct file
f_version.
fs.h:
struct inode
u64 i_version;
and
struct file
unsigned long f_version;
Users do:
fs/ext3/dir.c:
if (filp->f_version != inode->i_version) {
So why isn't f_version a u64 ? It becomes a problem if versions gets
higher than 2^32 and we are on an architecture where longs are 32 bits.
This patch changes the f_version type to u64, and updates the users accordingly.
It applies to 2.6.23-rc2-mm2.

This patch marks a number of allocations that are either short-lived such as
network buffers or are reclaimable such as inode allocations. When something
like updatedb is called, long-lived and unmovable kernel allocations tend to
be spread throughout the address space which increases fragmentation.
This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a
new MIGRATE_TYPE. The MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE type is for allocations that can be
reclaimed on demand, but not moved. i.e. they can be migrated by deleting
them and re-reading the information from elsewhere.

rename all 'cnt' fields and variables to the less yucky 'count' name.
yuckage noticed by Andrew Morton.
no change in code, other than the /proc/sched_debug bkl_count string got
a bit larger:
text data bss dec hex filename
38236 3506 24 41766 a326 sched.o.before
38240 3506 24 41770 a32a sched.o.after

This patch adds an interface to set/reset flags which determines each memory
segment should be dumped or not when a core file is generated.
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter file is provided to access the flags. You can
change the flag status for a particular process by writing to or reading from
the file.
The flag status is inherited to the child process when it is created.

This patch changes mm_struct.dumpable to a pair of bit flags.
set_dumpable() converts three-value dumpable to two flags and stores it into
lower two bits of mm_struct.flags instead of mm_struct.dumpable.
get_dumpable() behaves in the opposite way.

KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller
forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.
This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.
* off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
is fixed.
* Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
trailing '\0'. Fix it.
