2008-07-25ipc: get rid of ipc_lock_down()Nadia Derbey1-6/+0
Remove the ipc_lock_down() routines: they used to call idr_find() locklessly (given that the ipc ids lock was already held), so they are not needed anymore.

2008-04-29IPC: consolidate all xxxctl_down() functionsPierre Peiffer1-0/+2
semctl_down(), msgctl_down() and shmctl_down() are used to handle the same set of commands for each kind of IPC. They all start to do the same job (they retrieve the ipc and do some permission checks) before handling the commands on their own. This patch proposes to consolidate this by moving these same pieces of code into one common function called ipcctl_pre_down(). It simplifies a little these xxxctl_down() functions and increases a little the maintainability.

2008-04-29IPC: introduce ipc_update_perm()Pierre Peiffer1-0/+1

2008-04-29ipc: recompute msgmni on memory add / removeNadia Derbey1-0/+2
Introduce the registration of a callback routine that recomputes msg_ctlmni upon memory add / remove. A single notifier block is registered in the hotplug memory chain for all the ipc namespaces. Since the ipc namespaces are not linked together, they have their own notification chain: one notifier_block is defined per ipc namespace. Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it registers (unregisters) its notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain. The callback routine registered in the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier chain with the IPCNS_LOWMEM event. Each callback routine registered in the ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes msgmni for the owning namespace.

2008-02-08IPC: make struct ipc_ids static in ipc_namespacePierre Peiffer1-12/+4
Each ipc_namespace contains a table of 3 pointers to struct ipc_ids (3 for msg, sem and shm, structure used to store all ipcs) These 'struct ipc_ids' are dynamically allocated for each icp_namespace as the ipc_namespace itself (for the init namespace, they are initialized with pointers to static variables instead) It is so for historical reason: in fact, before the use of idr to store the ipcs, the ipcs were stored in tables of variable length, depending of the maximum number of ipc allowed. Now, these 'struct ipc_ids' have a fixed size. As they are allocated in any cases for each new ipc_namespace, there is no gain of memory in having them allocated separately of the struct ipc_namespace. This patch proposes to make this table static in the struct ipc_namespace. Thus, we can allocate all in once and get rid of all the code needed to allocate and free these ipc_ids separately.

2008-02-08ipc: uninline some code from util.hPavel Emelyanov1-56/+4
ipc_lock_check_down(), ipc_lock_check() and ipcget() seem too large to be inline. Besides, they give no optimization being inline as they perform calls inside in any case. Moving them into ipc/util.c saves 500 bytes of vmlinux and shortens IPC internal API. $ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux-orig vmlinux add/remove: 3/2 grow/shrink: 0/10 up/down: 490/-989 (-499) function old new delta ipcget - 392 +392 ipc_lock_check_down - 49 +49 ipc_lock_check - 49 +49 sys_semget 119 105 -14 sys_shmget 108 86 -22 sys_msgget 100 78 -22 do_msgsnd 665 631 -34 do_msgrcv 680 644 -36 do_shmat 771 733 -38 sys_msgctl 1302 1229 -73 ipcget_new 80 - -80 sys_semtimedop 1534 1452 -82 sys_semctl 2034 1922 -112 sys_shmctl 1919 1765 -154 ipcget_public 322 - -322 The ipcget() growth is the result of gcc inlining of currently static ipcget_new/_public.

2008-02-08namespaces: move the IPC namespace under IPC_NS optionPavel Emelyanov1-0/+2
Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files. I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed. The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case. This is done so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h. But the linux/ipc.h file itself in included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that good. On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required in 4 .c files only. Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c, msg.c and shm.c files. It turned out that moving these functions into namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros from the original file. Moving them would make this patch complicated. On the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a separate patch doing this a bit later.

2007-10-19fix idr_find() lockingNadia Derbey1-2/+26
This is a patch that fixes the way idr_find() used to be called in ipc_lock(): in all the paths that don't imply an update of the ipcs idr, it was called without the idr tree being locked. The changes are: . in ipc_ids, the mutex has been changed into a reader/writer semaphore. . ipc_lock() now takes the mutex as a reader during the idr_find(). . a new routine ipc_lock_down() has been defined: it doesn't take the mutex, assuming that it is being held by the caller. This is the routine that is now called in all the update paths.

2007-10-19ipc: store ipcs into IDRsNadia Derbey1-24/+8
This patch introduces ipcs storage into IDRs. The main changes are: . This ipc_ids structure is changed: the entries array is changed into a root idr structure. . The grow_ary() routine is removed: it is not needed anymore when adding an ipc structure, since we are now using the IDR facility. . The ipc_rmid() routine interface is changed: . there is no need for this routine to return the pointer passed in as argument: it is now declared as a void . since the id is now part of the kern_ipc_perm structure, no need to have it as an argument to the routine Signed-off-by: Nadia Derbey <Nadia.Derbey@bull.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2006-11-03[PATCH] Fix ipc entries removalPavel Emelianov1-0/+12
Fix two issuses related to ipc_ids->entries freeing. 1. When freeing ipc namespace we need to free entries allocated with ipc_init_ids(). 2. When removing old entries in grow_ary() ipc_rcu_putref() may be called on entries set to &ids->nullentry earlier in ipc_init_ids(). This is almost impossible without namespaces, but with them this situation becomes possible. Found during OpenVZ testing after obvious leaks in beancounters.

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!
