2007-05-08Merge sys_clone()/sys_unshare() nsproxy and namespace handlingBadari Pulavarty
sys_clone() and sys_unshare() both makes copies of nsproxy and its associated namespaces. But they have different code paths. This patch merges all the nsproxy and its associated namespace copy/clone handling (as much as possible). Posted on container list earlier for feedback. - Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it back to caller to attach it to right process. - Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to return a new copy of namespace instead of attaching it to task->nsproxy. - Moved the CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks out of copy_*_ns() routines. - Removed unnessary !ns checks from copy_*_ns() and added BUG_ON() just incase. - Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make use of copy_*_ns() instead.

2007-03-27[PATCH] ipcns: fix !CONFIG_IPC_NS behaviorSerge E. Hallyn
When CONFIG_IPC_NS=n, clone(CLONE_NEWIPC) claims success, but did not actually clone a new IPC namespace. Fix this to return -EINVAL so the caller knows his request was denied.

2006-10-02[PATCH] IPC namespace coreKirill Korotaev
This patch set allows to unshare IPCs and have a private set of IPC objects (sem, shm, msg) inside namespace. Basically, it is another building block of containers functionality. This patch implements core IPC namespace changes: - ipc_namespace structure - new config option CONFIG_IPC_NS - adds CLONE_NEWIPC flag - unshare support [clg@fr.ibm.com: small fix for unshare of ipc namespace] [akpm@osdl.org: build fix] Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Kirill Korotaev <dev@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Cedric Le Goater <clg@fr.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.

2002-10-31[PATCH] use RCU for IPC lockingAndrew Morton
Patch from Mingming, Rusty, Hugh, Dipankar, me: - It greatly reduces the lock contention by having one lock per id. The global spinlock is removed and a spinlock is added in kern_ipc_perm structure. - Uses ReadCopyUpdate in grow_ary() for locking-free resizing. - In the places where ipc_rmid() is called, delay calling ipc_free() to RCU callbacks. This is to prevent ipc_lock() returning an invalid pointer after ipc_rmid(). In addition, use the workqueue to enable RCU freeing vmalloced entries. Also some other changes: - Remove redundant ipc_lockall/ipc_unlockall - Now ipc_unlock() directly takes IPC ID pointer as argument, avoid extra looking up the array. The changes are made based on the input from Huge Dickens, Manfred Spraul and Dipankar Sarma. In addition, Cliff White has run OSDL's dbt1 test on a 2 way against the earlier version of this patch. Results shows about 2-6% improvement on the average number of transactions per second. Here is the summary of his tests: 2.5.42-mm2 2.5.42-mm2-ipclock ----------------------------- Average over 5 runs 85.0 BT 89.8 BT Std Deviation 5 runs 7.4 BT 1.0 BT Average over 4 best 88.15 BT 90.2 BT Std Deviation 4 best 2.8 BT 0.5 BT Also, another test today from Bill Hartner: I tested Mingming's RCU ipc lock patch using a *new* microbenchmark - semopbench. semopbench was written to test the performance of Mingming's patch. I also ran a 3 hour stress and it completed successfully. Explanation of the microbenchmark is below the results. Here is a link to the microbenchmark source. http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linuxperf/semopbench/semopbench.c SUT : 8-way 700 Mhz PIII I tested 2.5.44-mm2 and 2.5.44-mm2 + RCU ipc patch >semopbench -g 64 -s 16 -n 16384 -r > sem.results.out >readprofile -m /boot/System.map | sort -n +0 -r > sem.profile.out The metric is seconds / per repetition. Lower is better. kernel run 1 run 2 seconds seconds ================== ======= ======= 2.5.44-mm2 515.1 515.4 2.5.44-mm2+rcu-ipc 46.7 46.7 With Mingming's patch, the test completes 10X faster.
2002-10-08[PATCH] Base set of LSM hooks for SysV IPCStephen D. Smalley
The patch below adds the base set of LSM hooks for System V IPC to the 2.5.41 kernel. These hooks permit a security module to label semaphore sets, message queues, and shared memory segments and to perform security checks on these objects that parallel the existing IPC access checks. Additional LSM hooks for labeling and controlling individual messages sent on a single message queue and for providing fine-grained distinctions among IPC operations will be submitted separately after this base set of LSM IPC hooks has been accepted.
