linear currently uses division by the size of the smallest componenet device
to find which device a request goes to. If that smallest device is larger
than 2 terabytes, then the division will not work on some systems.

If a device is flagged 'WriteMostly' and the array has a bitmap, and the
bitmap superblock indicates that write_behind is allowed, then write_behind is
enabled for WriteMostly devices.
Write requests will be acknowledges as complete to the caller (via b_end_io)
when all non-WriteMostly devices have completed the write, but will not be
cleared from the bitmap until all devices complete.
This requires memory allocation to make a local copy of the data being
written. If there is insufficient memory, then we fall-back on normal write
semantics.

channel (a file descriptor refering to a disk-file) to transfer directory
contents from userspace to the kernel.
The patch adds three new operations (OPENDIR, READDIR, RELEASEDIR), which
have semantics and implementation exactly maching the respective file

This simplifies the directory reading code. Also disk space is not

o fuse_i.h

Requirements
============
The most important difference between orinary filesystems and FUSE is
the fact, that the filesystem data/metadata is provided by a userspace
process run with the privileges of the mount "owner" instead of the
kernel, or some remote entity usually running with elevated
privileges.
The security implication of this is that a non-privileged user must
not be able to use this capability to compromise the system. Obvious
requirements arising from this are:
- mount owner should not be able to get elevated privileges with the
help of the mounted filesystem
- mount owner should not be able to induce undesired behavior in
other users' or the super user's processes
- mount owner should not get illegitimate access to information from
other users' and the super user's processes
These are currently ensured with the following constraints:
1) mount is only allowed to directory or file which the mount owner
can modify without limitation (write access + no sticky bit for
directories)
2) nosuid,nodev mount options are forced
3) any process running with fsuid different from the owner is denied
all access to the filesystem
1) and 2) are ensured by the "fusermount" mount utility which is a
setuid root application doing the actual mount operation.
3) is ensured by a check in the permission() method in kernel
I started thinking about doing 3) in a different way because Christoph
H. made a big deal out of it, saying that FUSE is unacceptable into
mainline in this form.
The suggested use of private namespaces would be OK, but in their
current form have many limitations that make their use impractical (as
discussed in this thread).
Suggested improvements that would address these limitations:
- implement shared subtrees
- allow a process to join an existing namespace (make namespaces
first-class objects)
- implement the namespace creation/joining in a PAM module
With all that in place the check of owner against current->fsuid may
be removed from the FUSE kernel module, without compromising the
security requirements.
Suid programs still interesting questions, since they get access even
to the private namespace causing some information leak (exact
order/timing of filesystem operations performed), giving some
ptrace-like capabilities to unprivileged users. BTW this problem is
not strictly limited to the namespace approach, since suid programs
setting fsuid and accessing users' files will succeed with the current
approach too.

The Coordinated Video Timings (CVT) is the latest standard approved by VESA
concerning video timings generation. It addresses the limitation of GTF which
is designed mainly for CRT displays. CRT's have a high blanking requirement
(as much as 25% of the horizontal frame length) which artificially increases
the pixelclock. Digital displays, on the other hand, needs to conserve the
pixelclock as much as possible. The GTF also does not take into account the
different aspect ratios in its calculation.
The new function added is fb_find_mode_cvt(). It is called by fb_find_mode()
if it recognizes a mode option string formatted for CVT. The format is:
<xres>x<yres>[M][R][-<bpp>][<at-sign><refresh>][i][m]
The 'M' tells the function to calculate using CVT. On it's own, it will
compute a timing for CRT displays at 60Hz. If the 'R' is specified, 'reduced
blanking' computation will be used, best for flatpanels. The 'i' and the 'm'
is for 'interlaced mode' and 'with margins' respectively.
To determine if CVT was used, check for dmesg for something like this:
CVT Mode - <pix>M<n>[-R], ie: .480M3-R (800x600 reduced blanking)
where: pix - product of xres and yres, in MB
M - is a CVT mode
n - the aspect ratio (3 - 4:3; 4 - 5:4; 9 - 16:9, 15:9; A - 16:10)
-R - reduced blanking

Patch to eliminate struct files_struct.file_lock spinlock on the reader side
and use rcu refcounting rcuref_xxx api for the f_count refcounter. The
updates to the fdtable are done by allocating a new fdtable structure and
setting files->fdt to point to the new structure. The fdtable structure is
protected by RCU thereby allowing lock-free lookup. For fd arrays/sets that
are vmalloced, we use keventd to free them since RCU callbacks can't sleep. A
global list of fdtable to be freed is not scalable, so we use a per-cpu list.
If keventd is already handling the current cpu's work, we use a timer to defer
queueing of that work.
Since the last publication, this patch has been re-written to avoid using
explicit memory barriers and use rcu_assign_pointer(), rcu_dereference()
premitives instead. This required that the fd information is kept in a
separate structure (fdtable) and updated atomically.

First of a number of files_lock scaability patches.
Here are the x86 numbers -
tiobench on a 4(8)-way (HT) P4 system on ramdisk :
(lockfree)
Test 2.6.10-vanilla Stdev 2.6.10-fd Stdev

Seqwrite 242.72 3.47 238.46 6.53
Randwrite 445.74 9.15 446.4 9.75
The performance improvement is very significant.
We are getting killed by the cacheline bouncing of the files_struct
lock here. Writes on ramdisk (ext2) seems to vary just too
much to get any meaningful number.
Also, With Tridge's thread_perf test on a 4(8)-way (HT) P4 xeon system :
2.6.12-rc5-vanilla :

2.6.12-rc5-fd :
Running test 'readwrite' with 8 tasks
Threads 0.17 +/- 0.02 seconds
Processes 0.17 +/- 0.02 seconds
I repeated the measurements on ramfs (as opposed to ext2 on ramdisk in
the earlier measurement) and I got more consistent results from tiobench :

2.6.12-rc5-fd
--------------------
Running test 'readwrite' with 4 tasks
Threads 0.18 +/- 0.04 seconds
Processes 0.16 +/- 0.01 seconds
The benefits are huge (upto ~60%) in some cases on x86 primarily
due to the atomic operations during acquisition of ->file_lock
and cache line bouncing in fast path. ppc64 benefits are modest
due to LL/SC based locking, but still statistically significant.

The following patch set enables atomic security labeling of newly created
inodes by altering the fs code to invoke a new LSM hook to obtain the security
attribute to apply to a newly created inode and to set up the incore inode
security state during the inode creation transaction. This parallels the
existing processing for setting ACLs on newly created inodes. Otherwise, it
is possible for new inodes to be accessed by another thread via the dcache
prior to complete security setup (presently handled by the
post_create/mkdir/... LSM hooks in the VFS) and a newly created inode may be
left unlabeled on the disk in the event of a crash. SELinux presently works
around the issue by ensuring that the incore inode security label is
initialized to a special SID that is inaccessible to unprivileged processes
(in accordance with policy), thereby preventing inappropriate access but
potentially causing false denials on legitimate accesses. A simple test
program demonstrates such false denials on SELinux, and the patch solves the
problem. Similar such false denials have been encountered in real
applications.
This patch defines a new inode_init_security LSM hook to obtain the security
attribute to apply to a newly created inode and to set up the incore inode
security state for it, and adds a corresponding hook function implementation
to SELinux.

29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:
This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."
An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."
Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."
Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."
