2007-03-17[PATCH] nfs: fix congestion controlPeter Zijlstra1-0/+8
The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the backing device congested during each nfs_writepages() call but doesn't mirror this in nfs_writepage() which makes for deadlocks. Also it implements its own waitqueue. Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue. Also always use an interruptible wait since it makes sense to be able to SIGKILL the process even for mounts without 'intr'.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman1-1/+1
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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-11-06[PATCH] sysctl: implement CTL_UNNUMBEREDEric W. Biederman1-5/+0
This patch takes the CTL_UNNUMBERD concept from NFS and makes it available to all new sysctl users. At the same time the sysctl binary interface maintenance documentation is updated to mention and to describe what is needed to successfully maintain the sysctl binary interface.

2006-06-09NFS: Add timeout to submountsTrond Myklebust1-0/+10
Make automounted partitions expire using the mark_mounts_for_expiry() function. The timeout is controlled via a sysctl. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-01-06NFSv4: Allow entries in the idmap cache to expireTrond Myklebust1-0/+10
If someone changes the uid/gid mapping in userland, then we do eventually want those changes to be propagated to the kernel. Currently the kernel assumes that it may cache entries forever. Add an expiration time + garbage collector for idmap entries. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
