Typical PDE creation code looks like:
pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL);
if (pde)
pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops;
Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to
final value. This is a problem because right after creation
a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and
b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's
possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below).
The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are
set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like:
pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops);
if (!pde)
return -ENOMEM;
Fix most networking users for a start.
In the long run, create_proc_entry() for regular files will go.

Long ago when the CLONE_THREAD support first went it someone thought it
would be wise to point /proc/self at /proc/<tgid> instead of /proc/<pid>.
Given that /proc/<tgid> can return information about a very different task
(if enough things have been unshared) then our current process /proc/<tgid>
seems blatantly wrong. So far I have yet to think up an example where the
current behavior would be advantageous, and I can see several places where
it is seriously non-intuitive.
We may be stuck with the current broken behavior for backwards
compatibility reasons but lets try fixing our ancient bug for the 2.6.25
time frame and see if anyone screams.

Currently (as pointed out by Oleg) do_task_stat has a race when calling
task_pid_nr_ns with the task exiting. In addition do_task_stat is not
currently displaying information in the context of the pid namespace that
mounted the /proc filesystem. So "cut -d' ' -f 1 /proc/<pid>/stat" may not
equal <pid>.
This patch fixes the problem by converting to a single_open seq_file show
method. Getting the pid namespace from the filesystem superblock instead of
current, and simply using the the struct pid from the inode instead of
attempting to get that same pid from the task.

Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files.
I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed.
The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the
functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case. This is done
so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the
CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h. But the linux/ipc.h file itself in
included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the
sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that
good. On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required
in 4 .c files only.
Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c,
msg.c and shm.c files. It turned out that moving these functions into
namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros
from the original file. Moving them would make this patch complicated. On
the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a
separate patch doing this a bit later.

This patch adds extra information to the mirror status output, so that
it can be determined which device(s) have failed. For each mirror device,
a character is printed indicating the most severe error encountered. The
characters are:
* A => Alive - No failures
* D => Dead - A write failure occurred leaving mirror out-of-sync
* S => Sync - A sychronization failure occurred, mirror out-of-sync
* R => Read - A read failure occurred, mirror data unaffected
This allows userspace to properly reconfigure the mirror set.

This patch gives the ability to respond-to/record device failures
that happen during read operations. It also adds the ability to
read from mirror devices that are not the primary if they are
in-sync.
There are essentially two read paths in mirroring; the direct path
and the queued path. When a read request is mapped, if the region
is 'in-sync' the direct path is taken; otherwise the queued path
is taken.
If the direct path is taken, we must record bio information so that
if the read fails we can retry it. We then discover the status of
a direct read through mirror_end_io. If the read has failed, we will
mark the device from which the read was attempted as failed (so we
don't try to read from it again), restore the bio and try again.
If the queued path is taken, we discover the results of the read
from 'read_callback'. If the device failed, we will mark the device
as failed and attempt the read again if there is another device
where this region is known to be 'in-sync'.

This patch adds the ability to requeue write I/O to
core device-mapper when there is a log device failure.
If a write to the log produces and error, the pending writes are
put on the "failures" list. Since the log is marked as failed,
they will stay on the failures list until a suspend happens.
Suspends come in two phases, presuspend and postsuspend. We must
make sure that all the writes on the failures list are requeued
in the presuspend phase (a requirement of dm core). This means
that recovery must be complete (because writes may be delayed
behind it) and the failures list must be requeued before we
return from presuspend.
The mechanisms to ensure recovery is complete (or stopped) was
already in place, but needed to be moved from postsuspend to
presuspend. We rely on 'flush_workqueue' to ensure that the
mirror thread is complete and therefore, has requeued all writes
in the failures list.
Because we are using flush_workqueue, we must ensure that no
additional 'queue_work' calls will produce additional I/O
that we need to requeue (because once we return from
presuspend, we are unable to do anything about it). 'queue_work'
is called in response to the following functions:
- complete_resync_work = NA, recovery is stopped
- rh_dec (mirror_end_io) = NA, only calls 'queue_work' if it
is ready to recover the region
(recovery is stopped) or it needs
to clear the region in the log*
**this doesn't get called while
suspending**
- rh_recovery_end = NA, recovery is stopped
- rh_recovery_start = NA, recovery is stopped
- write_callback = 1) Writes w/o failures simply call
bio_endio -> mirror_end_io -> rh_dec
(see rh_dec above)
2) Writes with failures are put on

- add_mirror (initialization) = NA, only done on mirror creation
- queue_bio = NA, 1) delayed I/O scheduled before flush_workqueue
is called. 2) No more I/Os are being issued.
3) Re-attempted READs can still be handled.
(Write completions are handled through rh_dec/
write_callback - mention above - and do not
use queue_bio.)

This patch adds the calls to 'fail_mirror' if an error occurs during
mirror recovery (aka resynchronization). 'fail_mirror' is responsible
for recording the type of error by mirror device and ensuring an event
gets raised for the purpose of notifying userspace.

This patch gives mirror the ability to handle device failures
during normal write operations.
The 'write_callback' function is called when a write completes.
If all the writes failed or succeeded, we report failure or
success respectively. If some of the writes failed, we call
fail_mirror; which increments the error count for the device, notes
the type of error encountered (DM_RAID1_WRITE_ERROR), and
selects a new primary (if necessary). Note that the primary
device can never change while the mirror is not in-sync (IOW,
while recovery is happening.) This means that the scenario
where a failed write changes the primary and gives
recovery_complete a chance to misread the primary never happens.
The fact that the primary can change has necessitated the change
to the default_mirror field. We need to protect against reading
garbage while the primary changes. We then add the bio to a new
list in the mirror set, 'failures'. For every bio in the 'failures'
list, we call a new function, '__bio_mark_nosync', where we mark
the region 'not-in-sync' in the log and properly set the region
state as, RH_NOSYNC. Userspace must also be notified of the
failure. This is done by 'raising an event' (dm_table_event()).
If fail_mirror is called in process context the event can be raised
right away. If in interrupt context, the event is deferred to the
kmirrord thread - which raises the event if 'event_waiting' is set.
Backwards compatibility is maintained by ignoring errors if
the DM_FEATURES_HANDLE_ERRORS flag is not present.

This patch adds additional information to the status line. It is added at the
end of the returned text so it will not interfere with existing
implementations using this data. The addition of this information will allow
for a common return interface to match that returned with the dm-raid1.c
status line (with Jonathan Brassow's patches).
Here is a sample of what is returned with a mirror "status" call:
isw_eeaaabgfg_mirror: 0 488390920 mirror 2 8:16 8:32 3727/3727 1 AA 1 core
Here's what's returned with this patch for a stripe "status" call:
isw_dheeijjdej_stripe: 0 976783872 striped 2 8:16 8:32 1 AA
