• 1a1d77243   xfs: Fix open flag handling in open_by_handle code ... Browse Code »

  Sparse identified some unsafe handling of open flags in the xfs open
  by handle ioctl code. Update the code to use the correct access
  macros to ensure that we handle the open flags correctly.

• ad650f5b2   xfs: fallback to vmalloc for large buffers in xfs_attrmulti_attr_get ... Browse Code »

  xfsdump uses for a large buffer for extended attributes, which has a
  kmalloc'd shadow buffer in the kernel. This can fail after the
  system has been running for some time as it is a high order
  allocation. Add a fallback to vmalloc so that it doesn't require
  contiguous memory and so won't randomly fail while xfsdump is
  running.

• ddc3415ab   xfs: simplify xfs_trans_ijoin* again ... Browse Code »

  There is no reason to keep a reference to the inode even if we unlock
  it during transaction commit because we never drop a reference between
  the ijoin and commit. Also use this fact to merge xfs_trans_ijoin_ref
  back into xfs_trans_ijoin - the third argument decides if an unlock
  is needed now.

  I'm actually starting to wonder if allowing inodes to be unlocked
  at transaction commit really is worth the effort. The only real
  benefit is that they can be unlocked earlier when commiting a
  synchronous transactions, but that could be solved by doing the
  log force manually after the unlock, too.

• c59d87c46   xfs: remove subdirectories ... Browse Code »

  Use the move from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.x as an excuse to kill the
  annoying subdirectories in the XFS source code. Besides the large
  amount of file rename the only changes are to the Makefile, a few
  files including headers with the subdirectory prefix, and the binary
  sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from
  kernel/.
