The variables best_prio and best_prio_seen (inherited from the old\nmove_tasks()) were only required to handle problems caused by the\nactive/expired arrays, the order in which they were processed and the\npossibility that the task with the highest priority could be on either.\n These issues are no longer present and the extra overhead associated\nwith their use is unnecessary (and possibly wrong).\n\n2. In the absence of CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED being set, the same\nthis_best_prio variable needs to be used by all scheduling classes or\nthere is a risk of moving too much load. E.g. if the highest priority\ntask on this at the beginning is a fairly low priority task and the rt\nclass migrates a task (during its turn) then that moved task becomes the\nnew highest priority task on this_rq but when the sched_fair class\ninitializes its copy of this_best_prio it will get the priority of the\noriginal highest priority task as, due to the run queue locks being\nheld, the reschedule triggered by pull_task() will not have taken place.\n This could result in inappropriate overriding of skip_for_load and\nexcessive load being moved.\n\nThe attached patch addresses these problems by deleting all reference to\nbest_prio and best_prio_seen and making this_best_prio a reference\nparameter to the various functions involved.\n\nload_balance_fair() has also been modified so that this_best_prio is\nonly reset (in the loop) if CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is set.

However, the new modular\ndesign of the new CFS scheduler allows a simpler solution to be adopted\nand this patch addresses that solution by:\n\n1. adding a new function, move_one_task(), to be used by\nactive_load_balance(); and\n2. making move_tasks() a single purpose function that tries to move a\nspecified weighted load and returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.\n\nOne of the consequences of these changes is that neither move_one_task()\nor the new move_tasks() care how many tasks sched_class.load_balance()\nmoves and this enables its interface to be simplified by returning the\namount of load moved as its result and removing the load_moved pointer\nfrom the argument list. This helps simplify the new move_tasks() and\nslightly reduces the amount of work done in each of\nsched_class.load_balance()\u0027s implementations.\n\nFurther simplification, e.g. changes to balance_tasks(), are possible\nbut (slightly) complicated by the special needs of load_balance_fair()\nso I\u0027ve left them to a later patch (if this one gets accepted).\n\nNB Since move_tasks() gets called with two run queue locks held even\nsmall reductions in overhead are worthwhile.\n\n[ mingo@elte.hu ]\n\nthis change also reduces code size nicely:\n\n text data bss dec hex filename\n 39216 3618 24 42858 a76a sched.o.before\n 39173 3618 24 42815 a73f sched.o.after\n\nSigned-off-by: Peter Williams \u003cpwil3058@bigpond.net.au\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "94c18227d1e3f02de5b345bd3cd5c960214dc9c8", "tree": "c2cb18bf1deb097f61cea3ebec23bbd844e1e072", "parents": [ "6cfb0d5d06bea2b8791f32145eae539d524e5f6c" ], "author": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Thu Aug 02 17:41:40 2007 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Thu Aug 02 17:41:40 2007 +0200" }, "message": "[PATCH] sched: reduce task_struct size\n\nmore task_struct size reduction, by moving the debugging/instrumentation\nfields to under CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS:\n\n (i386, nodebug):\n\n size\n ----\n pre-CFS 1328\n CFS 1472\n CFS+patch 1376\n\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "cad60d93e18ba52b6f069b2edb031c89bf603b07", "tree": "dfe74c165e7607c233d223614ef400163c6ba44c", "parents": [ "4e6f96f313561d86d248edf0eaff2336d8217e1b" ], "author": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Thu Aug 02 17:41:40 2007 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Thu Aug 02 17:41:40 2007 +0200" }, "message": "[PATCH] sched: -\u003etask_new cleanup\n\nmake sched_class.task_new \u003d\u003d NULL a \u0027default method\u0027, this\nallows the removal of task_rt_new.\n\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "362a7016637648c6aefc98b706298baedfaa1543", "tree": "cb3f434fb71d29b247686b6dcfc76864cea4f57a", "parents": [ "1ed4395035a6791ebbbf618429a58ab9c207cc83" ], "author": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Thu Aug 02 17:41:40 2007 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Thu Aug 02 17:41:40 2007 +0200" }, "message": "[PATCH] sched: remove cache_hot_time\n\nremove the last unused remains of cache_hot_time.\n\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "d02c7a8cf208eb80a3ccbff40a6bebe8902af35a", "tree": "b6e2a0393bf917e5e04be955d6c6d5384caa4dfa", "parents": [ "b762f3ffb797c1281a38a1c82194534055fba5ec" ], "author": { "name": "Con Kolivas", "email": "kernel@kolivas.org", "time": "Thu Jul 26 13:40:43 2007 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Thu Jul 26 13:40:43 2007 +0200" }, "message": "[PATCH] sched: add above_background_load() function\n\nAdd an above_background_load() function which can be used by other\nsubsystems to detect if there is anything besides niced tasks running.\n\nPlace it in sched.h to allow it to be compiled out if not used.\n\nUnused for now, but it is a useful hint to the IO scheduler and to\nswap-prefetch.\n\nSigned-off-by: Con Kolivas \u003ckernel@kolivas.org\u003e\nCc: Peter Williams \u003cpwil3058@bigpond.net.au\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "e107be36efb2a233833e8c9899039a370e4b2318", "tree": "655955aa81aefeff441c412adaafe9b51a00ff56", "parents": [ "b47e8608a08766ef8121cd747d3aaf6c3dc22649" ], "author": { "name": "Avi Kivity", "email": "avi@qumranet.com", "time": "Thu Jul 26 13:40:43 2007 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Thu Jul 26 13:40:43 2007 +0200" }, "message": "[PATCH] sched: arch preempt notifier mechanism\n\nThis adds a general mechanism whereby a task can request the scheduler to\nnotify it whenever it is preempted or scheduled back in.

This is\nrequired by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide\nnon-repudiation of administrator\u0027s actions and to allow a review of past\nactions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system\nbecomes misconfigured for unknown reasons. These requirements do not make it\nnecessary to audit TTY output as well.\n\nCompared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the\naudit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely\ntransparent to the user-space application (e.g. the console ioctls still\nwork).\n\nTTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls\nwithin the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly\nuseless audit events.\n\nAdd an \"audit_tty\" attribute, inherited across fork (). Data read from TTYs\nby process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel.\nThe audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty\nattribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for\nexample, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the\ninteractive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which\nmight be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone).\n\nBecause the \"audit_tty\" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set\ne.g. for sshd restarted within an audited session. To prevent this, the\naudit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file\ndescriptors (e.g. after daemon startup) opens a TTY.\n\nSee https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a\nmore detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix]\nSigned-off-by: Miloslav Trmac \u003cmitr@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nCc: Alan Cox \u003calan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk\u003e\nCc: Paul Fulghum \u003cpaulkf@microgate.com\u003e\nCc: Casey Schaufler \u003ccasey@schaufler-ca.com\u003e\nCc: Steve Grubb \u003csgrubb@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "924b42d5a2dbe508407a0a6290d3751f826bccdd", "tree": "c13a647ae93bcf033bddb713c1e117e84698c679", "parents": [ "7c3f1a573237b90ef331267260358a0ec4ac9079" ], "author": { "name": "Tomas Janousek", "email": "tjanouse@redhat.com", "time": "Sun Jul 15 23:39:42 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Mon Jul 16 09:05:41 2007 -0700" }, "message": "Use boot based time for process start time and boot time in /proc\n\nCommit 411187fb05cd11676b0979d9fbf3291db69dbce2 caused boot time to move and\nprocess start times to become invalid after suspend.

But it looks very stupid.\n I would think about removal of shift of ownership in wake_futex_pi()\n and making all the work in context of process taking lock.\n\nFrom: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\n\nFix 1) Avoid the tasklist lock variant of the exit race fix by adding\n an additional state transition to the exit code.\n\n This fixes also the issue, when a task with recursive segfaults\n is not able to release the futexes.\n\nFix 2) Cleanup the lookup_pi_state() failure path and solve the -ESRCH\n problem finally.\n\nFix 3) Solve the fixup_pi_state_owner() problem which needs to do the fixup\n in the lock protected section by using the in_atomic userspace access\n functions.\n\n This removes also the ugly lock drop / unqueue inside of fixup_pi_state()\n\nFix 4) Fix a stale lock in the error path of futex_wake_pi()\n\nAdded some error checks for verification.\n\nThe -EDEADLK problem is solved by the rtmutex fixups.\n\nSigned-off-by: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\nAcked-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nCc: Steven Rostedt \u003crostedt@goodmis.org\u003e\nCc: Ulrich Drepper \u003cdrepper@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Eric Dumazet \u003cdada1@cosmosbay.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "7bb44adef39ad3bda2be40bb34686bc56bd563a5", "tree": "1e9eecbd03877c7ac8b00a8cb1d4ae54ebec3bb1", "parents": [ "3c6df2a9177c010bf811c361149069e4bfd9bb11" ], "author": { "name": "Roland McGrath", "email": "roland@redhat.com", "time": "Wed May 23 13:57:44 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed May 23 20:14:12 2007 -0700" }, "message": "recalc_sigpending_tsk fixes\n\nSteve Hawkes discovered a problem where recalc_sigpending_tsk was called in\ndo_sigaction but no signal_wake_up call was made, preventing later signals\nfrom waking up blocked threads with TIF_SIGPENDING already set.\n\nIn fact, the few other calls to recalc_sigpending_tsk outside the signals\ncode are also subject to this problem in other race conditions.\n\nThis change makes recalc_sigpending_tsk private to the signals code.

If you want to reliably fetch signals on\nthe signalfd file, you need to block them with sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK). This\nseems to be working fine on my Dual Opteron machine. I made a quick test\nprogram for it:\n\nhttp://www.xmailserver.org/signafd-test.c\n\nThe signalfd() system call implements signal delivery into a file descriptor\nreceiver. The signalfd file descriptor if created with the following API:\n\nint signalfd(int ufd, const sigset_t *mask, size_t masksize);\n\nThe \"ufd\" parameter allows to change an existing signalfd sigmask, w/out going\nto close/create cycle (Linus idea). Use \"ufd\" \u003d\u003d -1 if you want a brand new\nsignalfd file.\n\nThe \"mask\" allows to specify the signal mask of signals that we are interested\nin. The \"masksize\" parameter is the size of \"mask\".\n\nThe signalfd fd supports the poll(2) and read(2) system calls. The poll(2)\nwill return POLLIN when signals are available to be dequeued. As a direct\nconsequence of supporting the Linux poll subsystem, the signalfd fd can use\nused together with epoll(2) too.\n\nThe read(2) system call will return a \"struct signalfd_siginfo\" structure in\nthe userspace supplied buffer. The return value is the number of bytes copied\nin the supplied buffer, or -1 in case of error. The read(2) call can also\nreturn 0, in case the sighand structure to which the signalfd was attached,\nhas been orphaned. The O_NONBLOCK flag is also supported, and read(2) will\nreturn -EAGAIN in case no signal is available.\n\nIf the size of the buffer passed to read(2) is lower than sizeof(struct\nsignalfd_siginfo), -EINVAL is returned. A read from the signalfd can also\nreturn -ERESTARTSYS in case a signal hits the process. The format of the\nstruct signalfd_siginfo is, and the valid fields depends of the (-\u003ecode \u0026\n__SI_MASK) value, in the same way a struct siginfo would:\n\nstruct signalfd_siginfo {\n\t__u32 signo;\t/* si_signo */\n\t__s32 err;\t/* si_errno */\n\t__s32 code;\t/* si_code */\n\t__u32 pid;\t/* si_pid */\n\t__u32 uid;\t/* si_uid */\n\t__s32 fd;\t/* si_fd */\n\t__u32 tid;\t/* si_fd */\n\t__u32 band;\t/* si_band */\n\t__u32 overrun;\t/* si_overrun */\n\t__u32 trapno;\t/* si_trapno */\n\t__s32 status;\t/* si_status */\n\t__s32 svint;\t/* si_int */\n\t__u64 svptr;\t/* si_ptr */\n\t__u64 utime;\t/* si_utime */\n\t__u64 stime;\t/* si_stime */\n\t__u64 addr;\t/* si_addr */\n};\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix signalfd_copyinfo() on i386]\nSigned-off-by: Davide Libenzi \u003cdavidel@xmailserver.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "6eaeeaba39e5fa3d52a0bb8de15e995516ae251a", "tree": "5b4052fabfe107ad5332cb758ad8d86ea5a87848", "parents": [ "02239c29967418284c05d58971894d658575e78c" ], "author": { "name": "Eric Dumazet", "email": "dada1@cosmosbay.com", "time": "Thu May 10 22:22:37 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Fri May 11 08:29:34 2007 -0700" }, "message": "getrusage(): fill ru_inblock and ru_oublock fields if possible\n\nIf CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING is defined, we update io accounting counters for\neach task.\n\nThis patch permits reporting of values using the well known getrusage()\nsyscall, filling ru_inblock and ru_oublock instead of null values.\n\nAs TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING currently counts bytes counts, we approximate blocks\ncount doing : nr_blocks \u003d nr_bytes / 512\n\nExample of use :\n----------------------\nAfter patch is applied, /usr/bin/time command can now give a good\napproximation of IO that the process had to do.\n\n$ /usr/bin/time grep tototo /usr/include/*\nCommand exited with non-zero status 1\n0.00user 0.02system 0:02.11elapsed 1%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k\n24288inputs+0outputs (0major+259minor)pagefaults 0swaps\n\n$ /usr/bin/time dd if\u003d/dev/zero of\u003d/tmp/testfile count\u003d1000\n1000+0 enregistrements lus\n1000+0 enregistrements écrits\n512000 octets (512 kB) copiés, 0,00326601 seconde, 157 MB/s\n0.00user 0.00system 0:00.00elapsed 80%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k\n0inputs+3000outputs (0major+299minor)pagefaults 0swaps\n\nSigned-off-by: Eric Dumazet \u003cdada1@cosmosbay.com\u003e\nCc: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@tv-sign.ru\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "d89d87965dcbe6fe4f96a2a7e8421b3a75f634d1", "tree": "8e87952d6e016192220aa090a8121e357a951d8f", "parents": [ "129a84de2347002f09721cda3155ccfd19fade40" ], "author": { "name": "Neil Brown", "email": "neilb@suse.de", "time": "Tue May 01 09:53:42 2007 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Jens Axboe", "email": "axboe@nelson.home.kernel.dk", "time": "Fri May 11 13:28:37 2007 +0200" }, "message": "When stacked block devices are in-use (e.g. md or dm), the recursive calls\n\nto generic_make_request can use up a lot of space, and we would rather they\ndidn\u0027t.\n\nAs generic_make_request is a void function, and as it is generally not\nexpected that it will have any effect immediately, it is safe to delay any\ncall to generic_make_request until there is sufficient stack space\navailable.\n\nAs -\u003ebi_next is reserved for the driver to use, it can have no valid value\nwhen generic_make_request is called, and as __make_request implicitly\nassumes it will be NULL (ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE fork of switch) we can be\ncertain that all callers set it to NULL.

Unfortunately there\nare two SMP-related problems with this approach. First, a task running on\nanother CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set\nPF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task\u0027s flags in an inconsistent\nstate. Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and\nrefrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a\ntask\u0027s PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just\nset PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it. If\nthe refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE\nhasn\u0027t been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task\nwill go to the refrigerator once again after it\u0027s been thawed.\n\nTo solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell\ntasks that they should go to the refrigerator. Instead, we can introduce a\nspecial TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to\nchange the other tasks\u0027 TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it.\n\nTo avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make\nfreeze_process() to always check the task\u0027s PF_FROZEN flag after it\u0027s read\nits \"freeze\" flag. We should also make sure that refrigerator() will\nalways reset the task\u0027s \"freeze\" flag after it\u0027s set PF_FROZEN for it.\n\nSigned-off-by: Rafael J.

It simply counts the\nnumber of bytes passed into read() and write(). So if a process reads 1MB\nfrom an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O,\nwhich is wrong.\n\n(David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting:\n\n For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very\n useful\n\n read_bytes/read_calls average read request size\n write_bytes/write_calls average write request size\n\n read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing\n write_bytes/write_blocks ie logical/physical guess since pdflush writes can\n be missed\n\n I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache\n problems. And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are\n dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache\n contention.\n\n I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing\n efficient IO. Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high\n IO commands).\n\nThis patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate. We account\nfor three things:\n\nreads:\n\n attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause\n to be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it\n is accurate for block-backed filesystems. I also attempt to wire up NFS and\n CIFS.\n\nwrites:\n\n attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent\n to the storage layer. This is done at page-dirtying time.\n\n The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file\n and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will\n have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write.\n\n So...\n\ncancelled_writes:\n\n account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by\n truncating pagecache.\n\n We _could_ just subtract this from the process\u0027s `write\u0027 accounting. But\n that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative\n amounts of write IO, which is silly.\n\n So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace.\n\nNow, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level. But\n\n- This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page\n level (would require a new pointer in struct page).\n\n- It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available\n long after that process has exitted. Which means that we probably cannot\n communicate this info via taskstats.\n\nThis patch:\n\nWire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to\nmanipulate them.\n\nCc: Jay Lan \u003cjlan@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Shailabh Nagar \u003cnagar@watson.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Balbir Singh \u003cbalbir@in.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Chris Sturtivant \u003ccsturtiv@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Tony Ernst \u003ctee@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Guillaume Thouvenin \u003cguillaume.thouvenin@bull.net\u003e\nCc: David Wright \u003cdaw@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "f4f154fd920b2178382a6a24a236348e4429ebc1", "tree": "0bba747eb50b5d7e18d2b828f8c707b2781d7544", "parents": [ "c17bb4951752d3e0f49cd1ea9d2e868422f9e0d6" ], "author": { "name": "Akinobu Mita", "email": "akinobu.mita@gmail.com", "time": "Fri Dec 08 02:39:47 2006 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.osdl.org", "time": "Fri Dec 08 08:29:02 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] fault injection: process filtering for fault-injection capabilities\n\nThis patch provides process filtering feature.\nThe process filter allows failing only permitted processes\nby /proc/\u003cpid\u003e/make-it-fail\n\nPlease see the example that demostrates how to inject slab allocation\nfailures into module init/cleanup code\nin Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt\n\nSigned-off-by: Akinobu Mita \u003cakinobu.mita@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "84d737866e2babdeab0c6b18ea155c6a649663b8", "tree": "e504da826174c2804d8c680828800aa680090686", "parents": [ "6cc1b22a4acef3816eaa5f8c227d93d749b23195" ], "author": { "name": "Sukadev Bhattiprolu", "email": "sukadev@us.ibm.com", "time": "Fri Dec 08 02:38:01 2006 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.osdl.org", "time": "Fri Dec 08 08:28:52 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] add child reaper to pid_namespace\n\nAdd a per pid_namespace child-reaper.
