Hi,
This patch series is version 3 of the core dump masking feature,
which provides a per-process flag not to dump anonymous shared
memory segments.
In this version, /proc/pid/coredump_omit_anonymous_shared file
is provided as an interface instead of the previous
/proc/pid/core_flags. If you

Page-based NUMA pagecache replication.
This is a scheme for page replication replicates read-only pagecache pages
opportunistically, at pagecache lookup time (at points where we know the
page is being looked up for read only).
The page will be replicated if it resides on a different node to
Trial the replicated pagecache on non-NUMA machines by doing per-CPU
replication. Actually there is a slight change in one algorithm because
there is no such thing as page_to_cpuid.
To minimise the code change, this just pretends smp_processor_id returns
a node id. Technically this will blow up
This patch adds an interface to set/reset a flag which determines
anonymous shared memory segments should be dumped or not when a core
file is generated.
/proc/pid/coredump_omit_anonymous_shared file is provided to access
the flag. You can change the flag status for a particular process by

This patch enables to omit anonymous shared memory from an ELF-FDPIC
formatted core file when it is generated.
The debug messages from maydump() in fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c are changed
appropriately so that we can know what kind of memory segments are
dumped or not.

Hi Greg,
This is a resubmission of a patch that fell through the
cracks long ago. I've posted it a couple of times, and don't recall
anyone objecting to it.
struct sysfs_dirent is private to the fs/sysfs/ subtree. It is
not even referenced as an opaque structure outside of that

I did not implement this function in my tty driver.
Does it help to work my driver with cat Linux operation?

Since cwq-wq is unset for other than singlethread_cpu when singlethread

Does it mean I have to change nothing in my tty driver (based on serial_core.c)
