You haven't explained what an luid is at this point in the patch series.
Patch 0 says:

diff-ubc-syscalls.patch:
Patch adds system calls for UB management:
1. sys_getluid - get current UB id

But I have no idea what that l is there for. Why not sys_get_ubid() for
instance?
it is a historical name given by Alan Cox (imho) and Andrey Savochkin.
will rename it to sys_getubid, sys_setubid and field
ub_uid will be renamed into ub_id.

+ * The resource structure itself is tagged both to the process and
+ * the charging resources (a socket doesn't want to have to search for
+ * things at irq time for example). Reference counters keep things in
+ * hand.
+ *
+ * The case where a user creates resource, kills all his processes and
+ * then starts new ones is correctly handled this way. The refcounters
+ * will mean the old entry is still around with resource tied to it.
+ */
+


So we create one beancounter object for every resource the user's tasks
allocate? For instance, one per socket? Or does "resource structure"
refer to something else?
no, user_beancounter structure exists one for a set of processes and its resources.

to here. You could make a flag variable that holds GFP_ATOMIC or
GFP_KERNEL based on mask & UB_ALLOC_ATOMIC and perhaps turn this block
into a small helper.
yeah, Oleg Nesterov already pointed to this. will cleanup.

From what I can see this patch doesn't really justify the need for the
EXPORT_SYMBOL. Shouldn't that be done in the patch where it's needed
outside of the kernel/ub code itself?
AFAIK these exports were used in our checkpointing code (OpenVZ)
ok, will remove exports from this patch series...

This seems to be for debugging purposes only. If not, perhaps this
printk ought to be rate limited?
this is BUG_ON with more description. there is no much need to ratelimit it
as when it happens something really wrong happened in your system.

Same thing for this printk.
will replace it with real BUG_ON here.

Couldn't this be replaced by a do { } while (ub != NULL); loop?
this is ugly from indentation POV. also restarts are frequently used everywhere...

Seems rather expensive to walk up the tree for every charge. Especially
if the administrator wants a fine degree of resource control and makes a
tall tree. This would be a problem especially when it comes to resources
that require frequent and fast allocation.
in heirarchical accounting you always have to update all the nodes :/
with flat UBC this doesn't introduce significant overhead.

This can be factored by passing a flag that breaks the loop on an error:

if (retval && do_break_err)
return retval;
how about uncharge here?
didn't get your idea, sorry...

Again, this could be factored with charge_beancounter using a helper

Looks like your unroll: label in charge_beancounter above.
