sched: rt-bandwidth for user grouping interface

2008-08-19T11:10:09Z

rt_runtime is a signed value Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

alloc_uid: cleanup

2008-04-30T15:29:53Z

Use kmem_cache_zalloc(), remove large amounts of initialisation code and ifdeffery. Note: this assumes that memset(*atomic_t, 0) correctly initialises the atomic_t. This is true for all present archtiectures and if it becomes false for a future architecture then we'll need to make large changes all over the place anyway.

keys: don't generate user and user session keyrings unless they're accessed

2008-04-29T15:06:17Z

Don't generate the per-UID user and user session keyrings unless they're explicitly accessed. This solves a problem during a login process whereby set*uid() is called before the SELinux PAM module, resulting in the per-UID keyrings having the wrong security labels. This also cures the problem of multiple per-UID keyrings sometimes appearing due to PAM modules (including pam_keyinit) setuiding and causing user_structs to come into and go out of existence whilst the session keyring pins the user keyring. This is achieved by first searching for extant per-UID keyrings before inventing new ones. The serial bound argument is also dropped from find_keyring_by_name() as it's not currently made use of (setting it to 0 disables the feature).

sched: fix the task_group hierarchy for UID grouping

2008-04-19T17:45:00Z

UID grouping doesn't actually have a task_group representing the root of the task_group tree. Add one. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

sched: allow the group scheduler to have multiple levels

2008-04-19T17:44:59Z

This patch makes the group scheduler multi hierarchy aware. [a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl: rt-parts and assorted fixes] Signed-off-by: Dhaval Giani Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

sched: rt-group: synchonised bandwidth period

2008-04-19T17:44:57Z

Various SMP balancing algorithms require that the bandwidth period run in sync. Possible improvements are moving the rt_bandwidth thing into root_domain and keeping a span per rt_bandwidth which marks throttled cpus. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

sched: rt-group: make rt groups scheduling configurable

2008-02-13T14:45:40Z

Make the rt group scheduler compile time configurable. Keep it experimental for now. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

sched: rt-group: interface

2008-02-13T14:45:39Z

Change the rt_ratio interface to rt_runtime_us, to match rt_period_us. This avoids picking a granularity for the ratio. Extend the /sys/kernel/uids// interface to allow setting the group's rt_runtime. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

namespaces: cleanup the code managed with the USER_NS option

2008-02-08T17:22:23Z

Make the user_namespace.o compilation depend on this option and move the init_user_ns into user.c file to make the kernel compile and work without the namespaces support. This make the user namespace code be organized similar to other namespaces'. Also mask the USER_NS option as "depend on NAMESPACES".

uids: merge multiple error paths in alloc_uid() into one

2008-01-25T20:08:26Z

There are already 4 error paths in alloc_uid() that do incremental rollbacks. I think it's time to merge them. This costs us 8 lines of code :) Maybe it would be better to merge this patch with the previous one, but I remember that some time ago I sent a similar patch (fixing the error path and cleaning it), but I was told to make two patches in such cases.
