Subject: [BK SUMMARY] fix NGROUPS hard limit (resend)
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2002 11:32:44 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200210291932.g9TJWiC30564@scl2.sfbay.sun.com> (raw)
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.
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

no one references nfsiod.h anymore - nix it.

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
