Linus,
This patchset removes the hard NGROUPS limit. It has been in use in a similar form on our systems for some time.
There is a small change needed for glibc, and I will send that patch to the glibc people if/when this gets pulled.
Unlike prior versions of this patch, I have changed qsort() to a simple non-recursive sort. Several people indicated that this change would solve their objections.
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 include/linux/kernel.h | 3 + include/linux/limits.h | 3 - include/linux/sched.h | 3 - include/linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h | 3 - kernel/exit.c | 6 ++ kernel/fork.c | 4 + kernel/sys.c | 115 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- kernel/uid16.c | 63 +++++++++++++++++----- lib/Makefile | 4 - lib/bsearch.c | 49 +++++++++++++++++ net/sunrpc/svcauth_unix.c | 4 - 15 files changed, 224 insertions(+), 51 deletions(-)
through these ChangeSets (diffs in separate email):
<thockin@freakshow.cobalt.com> (02/11/11 1.855) fix usage of NGROUPS in nfsd and svcauth
<thockin@freakshow.cobalt.com> (02/11/11 1.854) 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.
