Subject[BK SUMMARY] fix NGROUPS hard limit (resend)
Date
Linus,

This patchset removes the hard NGROUPS limit. It has been in use in a similar
form (but with a sysctl-set limit) on our systems for some time.

The last changeset is of questionable value - nfsiod is not included by or
referenced by anything. Perhaps it should just be removed?

I have a separate patch to convert XFS to the generic qsort(), which I will
bounce to SGI if/when this gets pulled.

There is a small change needed for glibc, and I will send that patch to the
glibc people if/when this gets pulled.

Lastly, this does not fixup all the architectures. I have other patchsets for
that, which need to be reviewed by arch maintainers.

Tim


Please do a

bk pull http://suncobalt.bkbits.net/ngroups-2.5

This will update the following files:

fs/nfsd/auth.c | 11 +-
fs/proc/array.c | 2
include/asm-i386/param.h | 4
include/linux/init_task.h | 1

17 files changed, 380 insertions(+), 103 deletions(-)

through these ChangeSets (diffs in separate email):

<thockin@freakshow.cobalt.com> (02/10/21 1.812)
no one references nfsiod.h anymore - nix it.

<thockin@freakshow.cobalt.com> (02/10/21 1.811)
fix usage of NGROUPS in nfsd and svcauth

<thockin@freakshow.cobalt.com> (02/10/21 1.810)
Remove the limit of 32 groups. We now have a per-task, dynamic array of
groups, which is kept sorted and refcounted.

This ChangeSet incorporates all the core functionality. but does not fixup
all the incorrect usages of groups. That is in a seperate ChangeSet.

<thockin@freakshow.cobalt.com> (02/10/21 1.809)
Add generic qsort() and bsearch(): qsort() from BSD, bsearch() from glibc
