shm: fix unused warnings on nommu

2009-06-09T23:59:03Z

The massive nommu update (8feae131) resulted in these warnings: ipc/shm.c: In function `sys_shmdt': ipc/shm.c:974: warning: unused variable `size' ipc/shm.c:972: warning: unused variable `next' Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger Cc: David Howells Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

namespaces: mqueue namespace: adapt sysctl

2009-04-07T15:31:09Z

Largely inspired from ipc/ipc_sysctl.c. This patch isolates the mqueue sysctl stuff in its own file.

namespaces: ipc namespaces: implement support for posix msqueues

2009-04-07T15:31:09Z

Implement multiple mounts of the mqueue file system, and link it to usage of CLONE_NEWIPC. Each ipc ns has a corresponding mqueuefs superblock. When a user does clone(CLONE_NEWIPC) or unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), the unshare will cause an internal mount of a new mqueuefs sb linked to the new ipc ns. When a user does 'mount -t mqueue mqueue /dev/mqueue', he mounts the mqueuefs superblock. Posix message queues can be worked with both through the mq_* system calls (see mq_overview(7)), and through the VFS through the mqueue mount. Any usage of mq_open() and friends will work with the acting task's ipc namespace. Any actions through the VFS will work with the mqueuefs in which the file was created. So if a user doesn't remount mqueuefs after unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), mq_open("/ab") will not be reflected in "ls /dev/mqueue". If task a mounts mqueue for ipc_ns:1, then clones task b with a new ipcns, ipcns:2, and then task a is the last task in ipc_ns:1 to exit, then (1) ipc_ns:1 will be freed, (2) it's superblock will live on until task b umounts the corresponding mqueuefs, and vfs actions will continue to succeed, but (3) sb->s_fs_info will be NULL for the sb corresponding to the deceased ipc_ns:1. To make this happen, we must protect the ipc reference count when a) a task exits and drops its ipcns->count, since it might be dropping it to 0 and freeing the ipcns b) a task accesses the ipcns through its mqueuefs interface, since it bumps the ipcns refcount and might race with the last task in the ipcns exiting. So the kref is changed to an atomic_t so we can use atomic_dec_and_lock(&ns->count,mq_lock), and every access to the ipcns through ns = mqueuefs_sb->s_fs_info is protected by the same lock.

namespaces: mqueue ns: move mqueue_mnt into struct ipc_namespace

2009-04-07T15:31:09Z

Move mqueue vfsmount plus a few tunables into the ipc_namespace struct. The CONFIG_IPC_NS boolean and the ipc_namespace struct will serve both the posix message queue namespaces and the SYSV ipc namespaces. The sysctl code will be fixed separately in patch 3. After just this patch, making a change to posix mqueue tunables always changes the values in the initial ipc namespace. Signed-off-by: Cedric Le Goater Signed-off-by: Serge E.

proc_sysctl: use CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL around ipc and utsname proc_handlers

2009-04-03T02:05:01Z

As pointed out by Cedric Le Goater (in response to Alexey's original comment wrt mqns), ipc_sysctl.c and utsname_sysctl.c are using CONFIG_PROC_FS, not CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL, to determine whether to define the proc_handlers. Change that. Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn Cc: Cedric Le Goater Acked-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ipc: make shm_get_stat() more robust

2009-04-03T02:05:01Z

shm_get_stat() assumes idr_find(&shm_ids(ns).ipcs_idr) returns "struct shmid_kernel *"; all other callers assume that it returns "struct kern_ipc_perm *". This works because "struct kern_ipc_perm" is currently the first member of "struct shmid_kernel", but it would be better to use container_of() to prevent future breakage.

New helper - current_umask()

2009-04-01T03:00:26Z

current->fs->umask is what most of fs_struct users are doing. Put that into a helper function. Signed-off-by: Al Viro
