New locking/refcounting for fs_struct

2009-04-01T03:00:26+00:00

* all changes of current->fs are done under task_lock and write_lock of
  old fs->lock
* refcount is not atomic anymore (same protection)
* its decrements are done when removing reference from current; at the
  same time we decide whether to free it.
* put_fs_struct() is gone
* new field - ->in_exec.  Set by check_unsafe_exec() if we are trying to do
  execve() and only subthreads share fs_struct.  Cleared when finishing exec
  (success and failure alike).  Makes CLONE_FS fail with -EAGAIN if set.
* check_unsafe_exec() may fail with -EAGAIN if another execve() from subthread
  is in progress.

Take fs_struct handling to new file (fs/fs_struct.c)

2009-04-01T03:00:26+00:00

Pure code move; two new helper functions for nfsd and daemonize
(unshare_fs_struct() and daemonize_fs_struct() resp.; for now -
the same code as used to be in callers).  unshare_fs_struct()
exported (for nfsd, as copy_fs_struct()/exit_fs() used to be),
copy_fs_struct() and exit_fs() don't need exports anymore.

Annotate struct fs_struct's usage count restriction

2009-03-29T00:30:00+00:00

Annotate struct fs_struct's usage count to indicate the restrictions upon it.
It may not be incremented, except by clone(CLONE_FS), as this affects the
check in check_unsafe_exec() in fs/exec.c.

Make set_fs_{root,pwd} take a struct path

2008-02-15T05:13:33+00:00

In nearly all cases the set_fs_{root,pwd}() calls work on a struct
path. Change the function to reflect this and use path_get() here.

[PATCH] Move fs_cachep to linux/fs_struct.h

2006-12-07T16:39:23+00:00

fs_cachep is only used in kernel/exit.c and in kernel/fork.c.

It is used to store fs_struct items so it should be placed in linux/fs_struct.h

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
