[PATCH 0/3 v4] Fixups for l_pid

Show all headers | View raw

LTP fcntl tests (fcntl11 fcntl14 fcntl17 fcntl19 fcntl20 fcntl21) have been
failing for NFSv4 mounts due to an unexpected l_pid.  What follows are some
fixups:

v2: - Rebase onto linux-next
    - Revert back to using the stack in locks_mandatory_area(), and fixup
	patch description for 1/3

v3: - The lkp-robot found some serious per_thread_ops performance
	regressions for v1 and v2, so this version changes things around to not
	acquire a reference to struct pid in fl_nspid for every lock.  Instead,
	it drops fl_nspid altogether, and defers the lookup of the
	namespace-translated pid until it actually needed.

v4: - Instead of looking up the virtual pid by way of referencing the struct
	task of the that pid, instead use find_pid_ns() and pid_nr_ns(), which
	avoids a the problem where we race to get a reference to the struct task
	while it may be freed.

Benjamin Coddington (3):
  fs/locks: Use allocation rather than the stack in fcntl_getlk()
  fs/locks: Remove fl_nspid
  fs/locks: Use fs-specific l_pid for remote locks
