New and rewritten pages
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||

William Woodruff
|

Document get_phys_pages() and get_avphys_pages()

loop.4

Urs Thuermann, Michael Kerrisk
|

New page documenting the loop device
|
||||
|
||||
xattr.7
|
||||
Andreas Gruenbacher
|
||||
Import attr(5) man page from the 'attr' project
|
||||
After discussions with Andreas Gruenbacher, it makes sense to
|
||||
move this page into man-pages, since it mostly relates to
|
||||
kernel details. Since this is an overview page,
|
||||
we'll move it to Section 7.
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Rename page
|
||||
"xattr" is a more meaningful name than "attr" (it resonates
|
||||
with the names of the system calls), so as long as we are
|
||||
moving the page to a new section, we'll change the name as well,
|
||||
and retain an acl(5) link so that old references remain valid.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
mmap.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Remove text that implies that munmap() syncs MAP_SHARED mapping to file
|
||||
The existing text in this page:
|
||||
|
||||
MAP_SHARED Share this mapping. Updates to the mapping
|
||||
are visible to other processes that map this
|
||||
file, and are carried through to the underly‐
|
||||
ing file. The file may not actually be
|
||||
updated until msync(2) or munmap() is called.
|
||||
|
||||
implies that munmap() will sync the mapping to the underlying
|
||||
file. POSIX doesn't require this, and some light reading of the
|
||||
code and some light testing (fsync() after munmap() of a large
|
||||
file) also indicates that Linux doesn't do this.
|
||||
|
||||
msync.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||

||||

||||
open() honors the S_ISVTX, S_ISUID, and S_ISGID bits in 'mode'

||||
Tighten wording: use 'mode bit' rather than 'permission bit'

||||

|
||||
|
||||
poll.2

Add text on POSIX terms "file mode bits" and "file permission bits"

|
||||
Michael Kerrisk

||||
Tighten wording: use 'mode bit' rather than 'permission bit'
|
||||
According to POSIX, the the 9 UGO*RWX bits are permissions, and
|
||||
'mode' is used to refer to collectively to those bits plus sticky,

|
||||
CPU_SET.3
|
||||
Chris Metcalf
|
||||
Clarify language about "available" cpus
|
||||
The CPU_SET.3 man page uses the adjective "available" when
|
||||
explaining what the argument to CPU_SET() means. This is
|
||||
confusing, since "available" isn't well-defined. The kernel
|
||||
has a set of adjectives (possible, present, online, and active)
|
||||
that qualify cpus, but normally none of these are what the
|
||||
cpu_set_t bit index means: it's just "which cpu", using the
|
||||
kernel's internal numbering system, even if that cpu isn't
|
||||
possible or present.
|
||||
|
||||
This change removes the word "available" and adds a sentence
|
||||
warning that cpu sets may not be contiguous due to dynamic
|
||||
cpu hotplug, etc.

Document VFS-imposed limits on EAs

VFS imposes a 255-byte limit on EA names, and a 64kB limit on

EA values.
|

Michael Kerrisk
|

The ext[234] block limitation applies to sum of all EAs
|

It is not a per-EA limit.

|

Summary of multiple changes: remove cruft from this page.
|
||||
Much of the detail on hardware specifics in this page dates
|
||||
from the 20th century. (The last major update to this page was in
|
||||
man-pages-1.14!) It's hugely out of date now (many of these
|
||||
devices disappeared from the kernel years ago.) So, I've taken
|
||||
a large scythe to the page to remove anything that looks
|
||||
seriously dated. In the process, the page has shrunk to less
|
||||
than 50% of its previous size.
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Remove crufty floppy disk driver options
|
||||
In the specific case of floppy drives: the drivers still
|
||||
exist, but it's been a while since most of saw these devices
|
||||
in the wild. So, just refer the reader to the kernel source
|
||||
file for details. (The detail in this man page was after all
|
||||
originally drawn from that file.)
|
||||
Remove crufty "ISDN drivers" options

||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
get_phys_pages.3
|
||||
William Woodruff
|
||||
Document get_phys_pages() and get_avphys_pages()
|
||||
|
||||
loop.4
|
||||
Urs Thuermann, Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
New page documenting the loop device
|
||||
|
||||
xattr.7
|
||||
Andreas Gruenbacher
|
||||
Import attr(5) man page from the 'attr' project
|
||||
After discussions with Andreas Gruenbacher, it makes sense to
|
||||
move this page into man-pages, since it mostly relates to
|
||||
kernel details. Since this is an overview page,
|
||||
we'll move it to Section 7.
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Rename page
|
||||
"xattr" is a more meaningful name than "attr" (it resonates
|
||||
with the names of the system calls), so as long as we are
|
||||
moving the page to a new section, we'll change the name as well,
|
||||
and retain an acl(5) link so that old references remain valid.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
mknod.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Rewordings + point reader at stat(2) for details of mode bits
|
||||
|
||||
mmap.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Remove text that implies that munmap() syncs MAP_SHARED mapping to file
|
||||
The existing text in this page:
|
||||
|
||||
MAP_SHARED Share this mapping. Updates to the mapping
|
||||
are visible to other processes that map this
|
||||
file, and are carried through to the underly‐
|
||||
ing file. The file may not actually be
|
||||
updated until msync(2) or munmap() is called.
|
||||
|
||||
implies that munmap() will sync the mapping to the underlying
|
||||
file. POSIX doesn't require this, and some light reading of the
|
||||
code and some light testing (fsync() after munmap() of a large
|
||||
file) also indicates that Linux doesn't do this.
|
||||
|
||||
msync.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Rework text of DESCRIPTION
|
||||
Rewrite the text somewhat, for easier comprehension.

|
||||
|
||||
open.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [Andreas Gruenbacher]
|
||||
open() honors the S_ISVTX, S_ISUID, and S_ISGID bits in 'mode'
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Tighten wording: use 'mode bit' rather than 'permission bit'

Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Add text on POSIX terms "file mode bits" and "file permission bits"
|

|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Tighten wording: use 'mode bit' rather than 'permission bit'
|
||||
According to POSIX, the the 9 UGO*RWX bits are permissions, and
|
||||
'mode' is used to refer to collectively to those bits plus sticky,
|
||||
set-UID, and set_GID bits.

CPU_SET.3
|
||||
Chris Metcalf
|
||||
Clarify language about "available" cpus
|
||||
The CPU_SET.3 man page uses the adjective "available" when
|
||||
explaining what the argument to CPU_SET() means. This is
|
||||
confusing, since "available" isn't well-defined. The kernel
|
||||
has a set of adjectives (possible, present, online, and active)
|
||||
that qualify cpus, but normally none of these are what the
|
||||
cpu_set_t bit index means: it's just "which cpu", using the
|
||||
kernel's internal numbering system, even if that cpu isn't
|
||||
possible or present.
|
||||
|
||||
This change removes the word "available" and adds a sentence
|
||||
warning that cpu sets may not be contiguous due to dynamic
|
||||
cpu hotplug, etc.

|

Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Summary of multiple changes: remove cruft from this page.
|
||||
Much of the detail on hardware specifics in this page dates
|
||||
from the 20th century. (The last major update to this page was in
|
||||
man-pages-1.14!) It's hugely out of date now (many of these
|
||||
devices disappeared from the kernel years ago.) So, I've taken
|
||||
a large scythe to the page to remove anything that looks
|
||||
seriously dated. In the process, the page has shrunk to less
|
||||
than 50% of its previous size.

|
||||
In the specific case of floppy drives: the drivers still
|
||||
exist, but it's been a while since most of saw these devices
|
||||
in the wild. So, just refer the reader to the kernel source
|
||||
file for details. (The detail in this man page was after all

originally drawn from that file.)
