Manfred Spraul 6ff2d39b91 lib/idr.c: fix rcu related race with idr_find
2nd part of the fixes needed for
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11796.

When the idr tree is either grown or shrunk, then the update to the number
of layers and the top pointer were not atomic.  This race caused crashes.

The attached patch fixes that by replicating the layers counter in each
layer, thus idr_find doesn't need idp->layers anymore.

Nadia Derbey 2027d1abc2 idr: change the idr structure
After scalability problems have been detected when using the sysV ipcs, I have
proposed to use an RCU based implementation of the IDR api instead (see
threads http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/11/212 and
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/295).

This resulted in many people asking to convert the idr API and make it rcu
safe (because most of the code was duplicated and thus unmaintanable and
unreviewable).

So here is a first attempt.

The important change wrt to the idr API itself is during idr removes: idr
layers are freed after a grace period, instead of being moved to the free
list.

The important change wrt to ipcs, is that idr_find() can now be called
locklessly inside a rcu read critical section.

Here are the results I've got for the pmsg test sent by Manfred:

Akinobu Mita 199f0ca514 idr: create idr_layer_cache at boot time
Avoid a possible kmem_cache_create() failure by creating idr_layer_cache
unconditionary at boot time rather than creating it on-demand when idr_init()
is called the first time.

This change also enables us to eliminate the check every time idr_init() is
called.

Kristian Hoegsberg 23936cc0b5 lib: add idr_remove_all
Remove all ids from the given idr tree.  idr_destroy() only frees up
unused, cached idp_layers, but this function will remove all id mappings
and leave all idp_layers unused.

A typical clean-up sequence for objects stored in an idr tree, will use
idr_for_each() to free all objects, if necessay, then idr_remove_all() to
remove all ids, and idr_destroy() to free up the cached idr_layers.

Kristian Hoegsberg 96d7fa421e lib: add idr_for_each()
This patch adds an iterator function for the idr data structure.  Compared
to just iterating through the idr with an integer and idr_find, this
iterator is (almost, but not quite) linear in the number of elements, as
opposed to the number of integers in the range covered by the idr.  This
makes a difference for sparse idrs, but more importantly, it's a nicer way
to iterate through the elements.

The drm subsystem is moving to idr for tracking contexts and drawables, and
with this change, we can use the idr exclusively for tracking these
resources.

Tejun Heo 72dba584b6 ida: implement idr based id allocator
Implement idr based id allocator.  ida is used the same way idr is
used but lacks id -> ptr translation and thus consumes much less
memory.  struct ida_bitmap is attached as leaf nodes to idr tree which
is managed by the idr code.  Each ida_bitmap is 128bytes long and
contains slightly less than a thousand slots.

ida is more aggressive with releasing extra resources acquired using
ida_pre_get().  After every successful id allocation, ida frees one
reserved idr_layer if possible.  Reserved ida_bitmap is not freed
automatically but only one ida_bitmap is reserved and it's almost
always used right away.  Under most circumstances, ida won't hold on
to memory for too long which isn't actively used.

Andrew Morton 8d3b35914a [PATCH] inotify/idr leak fix
Fix a bug which was reported and diagnosed by
Stefan Jones <stefan.jones@churchillrandoms.co.uk>

IDR trees include a cache of idr_layer objects.  There's no way to destroy
this cache, so when we discard an overall idr tree we end up leaking some
memory.

Add and use idr_destroy() for this.  v9fs and infiniband also need to use
idr_destroy() to avoid leaks.

Or, we make the cache global, like radix_tree_preload().  Which is probably
better.  Later.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
