[PATCH] namespaces: fix task exit disaster

2007-01-30T21:40:36+00:00

This is based on a patch by Eric W.  Biederman, who pointed out that pid
namespaces are still fake, and we only have one ever active.

So for the time being, we can modify any code which could access
tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns during task exit to just use &init_pid_ns instead,
and move the exit_task_namespaces call in do_exit() back above
exit_notify(), so that an exiting nfs server has a valid tsk->sighand to
work with.

Long term, pulling pid_ns out of nsproxy might be the cleanest solution.

[PATCH] add child reaper to pid_namespace

2006-12-08T16:28:52+00:00

Add a per pid_namespace child-reaper.  This is needed so processes are reaped
within the same pid space and do not spill over to the parent pid space.  Its
also needed so containers preserve existing semantic that pid == 1 would reap
orphaned children.

This is based on Eric Biederman's patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/285

[PATCH] to nsproxy

2006-12-08T16:28:52+00:00

Add the pid namespace framework to the nsproxy object.  The copy of the pid
namespace only increases the refcount on the global pid namespace,
init_pid_ns, and unshare is not implemented.

There is no configuration option to activate or deactivate this feature
because this not relevant for the moment.

[PATCH] rename struct pspace to struct pid_namespace

2006-12-08T16:28:52+00:00

Rename struct pspace to struct pid_namespace for consistency with other
namespaces (uts_namespace and ipc_namespace).  Also rename
include/linux/pspace.h to include/linux/pid_namespace.h and variables from
pspace to pid_ns.

[PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t

2006-12-07T16:39:25+00:00

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

[PATCH] introduce get_task_pid() to fix unsafe get_pid()

2006-10-02T14:57:25+00:00

proc_pid_make_inode:

	ei->pid = get_pid(task_pid(task));

I think this is not safe.  get_pid() can be preempted after checking "pid
!= NULL".  Then the task exits, does detach_pid(), and RCU frees the pid.

[PATCH] Define struct pspace

2006-10-02T14:57:15+00:00

Define a per-container pid space object.  And create one instance of this
object, init_pspace, to define the entire pid space.  Subsequent patches
will provide/use interfaces to create/destroy pid spaces.

Its a subset/rework of Eric Biederman's patch

Move struct pidmap and PIDMAP_ENTRIES to a new file, include/linux/pspace.h
where it will be used in subsequent patches to define pid spaces.
