      NFS: new idmapper · 955a857e
      Bryan Schumaker authored
      
      This patch creates a new idmapper system that uses the request-key function to
      place a call into userspace to map user and group ids to names.  The old
      idmapper was single threaded, which prevented more than one request from running
      at a single time.  This means that a user would have to wait for an upcall to
      finish before accessing a cached result.
      
      The upcall result is stored on a keyring of type id_resolver.  See the file
      Documentation/filesystems/nfs/idmapper.txt for instructions.

      [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl · 0b4d4147
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      
      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.
