below.  Note however that the use of the private flag here could be confusing,
as these inodes are _not_ private to the fs, are exposed to userspace, and

when removing a sysctl table.

For a cost of 2K code we will save about 4K of static tables (when we remove
de from ctl_table) and 70K in proc_dir_entries that we will not allocate, or
about half that on a 32bit arch.

The speed feels about the same, even though we can now cache the sysctl
dentries :(

We get the core advantage that we don't need to have a 1 to 1 mapping between
ctl table entries and proc files.  Making it possible to have /proc/sys vary
depending on the namespace you are in.  The currently merged namespaces don't
have an issue here but the network namespace under /proc/sys/net needs to have
different directories depending on which network adapters are visible.  By
simply being a cache different directories being visible depending on who you
are is trivial to implement.

[PATCH] sysctl: factor out sysctl_head_next from do_sysctl

The current logic to walk through the list of sysctl table headers is slightly
painful and implement in a way it cannot be used by code outside sysctl.c

I am in the process of implementing a version of the sysctl proc support that
instead of using the proc generic non-caching monster, just uses the existing
sysctl data structure as backing store for building the dcache entries and for
doing directory reads.  To use the existing data structures however I need a
way to get at them.

[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

[PATCH] sysctl: C99 convert arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon and remove ABI breakage

This convters the sysctl ctl_tables to use C99 initializers.  While I was
looking at it I discovered it was using a portion of the sysctl binary
addresses space under CTL_KERN KERN_OSTYPE which was completely inappropriate.
 So I completely removed all of the sysctl binary names, to remove and avoid
the ABI conflict.

[PATCH] sysctl: sn: remove sysctl ABI BREAKAGE

By not using the enumeration in sysctl.h (or even understanding it) the SN
platform placed their arch specific xpc directory on top of CTL_KERN and only
because they didn't have 4 entries in their xpc directory got lucky and didn't
break glibc.

This is totally irresponsible.  So this patch entirely removes sys_sysctl
support from their sysctl code.  Hopefully they don't have ascii name
conflicts as well.

And now that they have no ABI numbers add them to the end instead of the
sysctl list instead of the head so nothing else will be overridden.

[PATCH] sysctl: x25: remove unnecessary insert_at_head from register_sysctl_table

There has not been much maintenance on sysctl in years, and as a result is
there is a lot to do to allow future interesting work to happen, and being
ambitious I'm trying to do it all at once :)

The patches in this series fall into several general categories.

- Removal of useless attempts to override the standard sysctls

- Registers of sysctl numbers in sysctl.h so someone else does not use
  the magic number and conflict.

- C99 conversions so it becomes possible to change the layout of
  struct ctl_table without breaking everything.

- Removal of useless claims of module ownership, in the proc dir entries

- Removal of sys_sysctl support where people had used conflicting sysctl
  numbers. Trying to break glibc or other applications by changing the
  ABI is not cool.  9 instances of this in the kernel seems a little
  extreme.

- General enhancements when I got the junk I could see out.

This patch:

Since x25 uses unique binary numbers inserting yourself at the head of the
search list for sysctls so you can override already registered sysctls is
pointless.

[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,

[PATCH] knfsd: allow the server to provide a gid list when using AUTH_UNIX authentication

AUTH_UNIX authentication (the standard with NFS) has a limit of 16 groups ids.
 This causes problems for people in more than 16 groups.

So allow the server to map a uid into a list of group ids based on local
knowledge rather depending on the (possibly truncated) list from the client.

If there is no process on the server responding to upcalls, the gidlist in the
request will still be used.

[PATCH] knfsd: add some new fsid types

Add support for using a filesystem UUID to identify and export point in the
filehandle.

For NFSv2, this UUID is xor-ed down to 4 or 8 bytes so that it doesn't take up
too much room.  For NFSv3+, we use the full 16 bytes, and possibly also a
64bit inode number for exports beneath the root of a filesystem.

When generating an fsid to return in 'stat' information, use the UUID (hashed
down to size) if it is available and a small 'fsid' was not specifically
provided.

[PATCH] knfsd: tidy up choice of filesystem-identifier when creating a filehandle

If we are using the same version/fsid as a current filehandle, then there is
no need to verify the the numbers are valid for this export, and they must be
(we used them to find this export).

This allows us to simplify the fsid selection code.

Also change "ref_fh_version" and "ref_fh_fsid_type" to "version" and
"fsid_type", as the important thing isn't that they are the version/type of
the reference filehandle, but they are the chosen type for the new filehandle.

And tidy up some indenting.

[PATCH] knfsd: fix return value for writes to some files in 'nfsd' filesystem

Most files in the 'nfsd' filesystem are transactional.  When you write, a
reply is generated that can be read back only on the same 'file'.

If the reply has zero length, the 'write' will incorrectly return a value of
'0' instead of the length that was written.  This causes 'rpc.nfsd' to give an
annoying warning.

This patch fixes the test.
