      exec: make prepare_bprm_creds static · 4addd264
      Chanho Min authored 
      

prepare_bprm_creds is not used outside exec.c, so there's no reason for it
to have external linkage.

      genheaders: %-<width>s had been there since v6; %-*s - since v7 · a40612ef
      Al Viro authored 
      

Please, use at least K&R C; printf had been able to left-adjust
a field for as long as stdio existed and use of '*' for variable
width had been there since v7.  Yes, the first edition of K&R
didn't cover the latter feature (it slightly predates v7), but
you are using a much later feature of the language than that -
in K&R C
static char *stoupperx(const char *s)
{
...
}
would've been spelled as
static char *stoupperx(s)
char *s;
{
...
}

While we are at it, the use of strstr() is bogus - it finds the
_first_ instance of substring, so it's a lousy fit for checking
if a string ends with given suffix...

      VFS: use synchronize_rcu_expedited() in namespace_unlock() · 22cb7405
      NeilBrown authored 
      

The synchronize_rcu() in namespace_unlock() is called every time
a filesystem is unmounted.  If a great many filesystems are mounted,
this can cause a noticable slow-down in, for example, system shutdown.

The sequence:
  mkdir -p /tmp/Mtest/{0..5000}
  time for i in /tmp/Mtest/*; do mount -t tmpfs tmpfs $i ; done
  time umount /tmp/Mtest/*

on a 4-cpu VM can report 8 seconds to mount the tmpfs filesystems, and
100 seconds to unmount them.

Boot the same VM with 1 CPU and it takes 18 seconds to mount the
tmpfs filesystems, but only 36 to unmount.

If we change the synchronize_rcu() to synchronize_rcu_expedited()
the umount time on a 4-cpu VM drop to 0.6 seconds

I think this 200-fold speed up is worth the slightly high system
impact of using synchronize_rcu_expedited().

      exportfs: do not read dentry after free · 2084ac6c
      Pan Bian authored 
      The function dentry_connected calls dput(dentry) to drop the previously
acquired reference to dentry. In this case, dentry can be released.
After that, IS_ROOT(dentry) checks the condition
(dentry == dentry->d_parent), which may result in a use-after-free bug.
This patch directly compares dentry with its parent obtained before
dropping the reference.

Fixes: a056cc89

("exportfs: stop retrying once we race with
rename/remove")
