Return value of filldir callback is just "should we stop here"; it's
not a usable channel for passing error values (i.e. -&gt;readdir() will
forget anything except "is it non-zero").

OSF/1 brk(2) was broken by following one-liner in sys_brk()
(commit 4cc6028d4040f95cdb590a87db478b42b8be0508):

-	if (brk &lt; mm-&gt;end_code)
+	if (brk &lt; mm-&gt;start_brk)
		goto out;

The problem is that osf_set_program_attributes()
does update mm-&gt;end_code, but not mm-&gt;start_brk,
which still contains inappropriate value left from
binary loader, so brk() always fails.

<title>Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd-&gt;{dentry,mnt}</title>

<content type='text'>
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
  &lt;dentry,vfsmount&gt; 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:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

with patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd-&gt;{dentry,mnt} to nd-&gt;path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

<title>get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_open</title>

NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open
more than 1024*1024 handles.

Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high
value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process.

Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential
exhaust.

This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to
1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload
needs it.

<title>utimensat implementation</title>

<id>1c710c896eb461895d3c399e15bb5f20b39c9073</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement utimensat(2) which is an extension to futimesat(2) in that it

a) supports nano-second resolution for the timestamps
b) allows to selectively ignore the atime/mtime value
c) allows to selectively use the current time for either atime or mtime
d) supports changing the atime/mtime of a symlink itself along the lines
   of the BSD lutimes(3) functions

For this change the internally used do_utimes() functions was changed to
accept a timespec time value and an additional flags parameter.

Additionally the sys_utime function was changed to match compat_sys_utime
which already use do_utimes instead of duplicating the work.

Also, the completely missing futimensat() functionality is added.  We have
such a function in glibc but we have to resort to using /proc/self/fd/* which
not everybody likes (chroot etc).

Test application (the syscall number will need per-arch editing):

#include &lt;errno.h&gt;
#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
#include &lt;time.h&gt;
#include &lt;sys/time.h&gt;
#include &lt;stddef.h&gt;
#include &lt;syscall.h&gt;

#define __NR_utimensat 280

#define UTIME_NOW       ((1l &lt;&lt; 30) - 1l)
#define UTIME_OMIT      ((1l &lt;&lt; 30) - 2l)

Implement utimensat(2) which is an extension to futimesat(2) in that it

a) supports nano-second resolution for the timestamps
b) allows to selectively ignore the atime/mtime value
c) allows to selectively use the current time for either atime or mtime
d) supports changing the atime/mtime of a symlink itself along the lines
   of the BSD lutimes(3) functions

For this change the internally used do_utimes() functions was changed to
accept a timespec time value and an additional flags parameter.

Additionally the sys_utime function was changed to match compat_sys_utime
which already use do_utimes instead of duplicating the work.

Also, the completely missing futimensat() functionality is added.  We have
such a function in glibc but we have to resort to using /proc/self/fd/* which
not everybody likes (chroot etc).

Test application (the syscall number will need per-arch editing):
