2010-12-16lockd: Introduce new-style XDR functions for NLMv4Chuck Lever
We'd like to prevent local buffer overflows caused by malicious or broken servers. New xdr_stream style decoders can do that. For efficiency, we also want to be able to pass xdr_streams from call_encode() to all XDR encoding functions, rather than building an xdr_stream in every XDR encoding function in the kernel. Same idea as the NLM v3 XDR overhaul. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Tested-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2010-12-16lockd: Introduce new-style XDR functions for NLMv3Chuck Lever
We'd like to prevent local buffer overflows caused by malicious or broken servers. New xdr_stream style decoders can do that. For efficiency, we also eventually want to be able to pass xdr_streams from call_encode() and call_decode() to all XDR encoding functions, rather than building an xdr_stream in every XDR encoding and decoding function in the kernel. To do all of this, rewrite the XDR encoding and decoding functions in fs/lockd/xdr.c to use xdr_streams. This makes them more or less incompatible with server-side XDR helper functions, so break them out into a separate source file. Static helper functions are left without the "inline" directive. This allows the compiler to choose automatically how to optimize these for size or speed. SHARE-related functionality doesn't seem to be used, as those functions are hiding behind a #define that isn't set anywhere that I can find. And, they've been in there forever (at least as far back as the kernel's git history goes), yet remain unused. Let's take the opportunity to bin them. It should be easy enough for someone to introduce proper XDR functions if at some point SHARE-related NLM functionality is desired. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Tested-by: J.

2008-10-03nfsd: common grace period controlJ. Bruce Fields
Rewrite grace period code to unify management of grace period across lockd and nfsd. The current code has lockd and nfsd cooperate to compute a grace period which is satisfactory to them both, and then individually enforce it. This creates a slight race condition, since the enforcement is not coordinated. It's also more complicated than necessary. Here instead we have lockd and nfsd each inform common code when they enter the grace period, and when they're ready to leave the grace period, and allow normal locking only after both of them are ready to leave. We also expect the locks_start_grace()/locks_end_grace() interface here to be simpler to build on for future cluster/high-availability work, which may require (for example) putting individual filesystems into grace, or enforcing grace periods across multiple cluster nodes.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
