[PATCH 2/2] Make UML use ptrace-abi.h

From: Jeff Dike
Date: Tue Sep 12 2006 - 11:56:10 EST


Modify the netlink code so that SOCK_VMIO has the desired effect on the
user-space side of the connection.

Modify sys_{send,recv}msg to use sk->sk_allocation instead of GFP_KERNEL,
this should not change existing behaviour because the default of
sk->sk_allocation is GFP_KERNEL, and no user-space exposed socket would
have it any different at this time.

This change allows the system calls to succeed for SOCK_VMIO sockets
(who have sk->sk_allocation |= GFP_EMERGENCY) even under extreme memory
pressure.

Since netlink_sendmsg is used to transfer msgs from user- to kernel-space
treat the skb allocation there as a receive allocation.

Also export netlink_lookup, this is needed to locate the kernel side struct
sock object associated with the user-space netlink socket.
