Attach creds to file structs and discard f_uid/f_gid.
file_operations::open() methods (such as hppfs_open()) should use file->f_cred
rather than current_cred(). At the moment file->f_cred will be current_cred()
at this point.Signed-off-by: David Howells

Pass credentials through dentry_open() so that the COW creds patch can have
SELinux's flush_unauthorized_files() pass the appropriate creds back to itself
when it opens its null chardev.The security_dentry_open() call also now takes a creds pointer, as does the
dentry_open hook in struct security_operations.Signed-off-by: David Howells

hppfs tidying and fixes noticed during hch's get_inode work -
style fixes
a copy_to_user got its return value checked
hppfs_write no longer fiddles file->f_pos because it gets and
returns pos in its arguments
hppfs_delete_inode dputs the underlyng procfs dentry stored in
its private data and mntputs the vfsmnt stashed in s_fs_info
hppfs_put_super no longer needs to mntput the s_fs_info, so it
no longer needs to exist
hppfs_readlink and hppfs_follow_link were doing a bunch of stuff
with a struct file which they didn't use
there is now a ->permission which calls generic_permission
get_inode was always returning 0 for some reason - it now
returns an inode if nothing bad happenedSigned-off-by: Jeff Dike

* hppfs_iget() and its users are racy; there's no need to pollute icache
anyway, new_inode() works fine and is safe, unlike the current kludges
(these relied on overwriting ->i_ino before another iget_locked() gets
to that one - and did it after unlocking).
* merge hppfs_iget()/init_inode()/hppfs_read_inode(), while we are
at it.
* to pass proper vfsmount to dentry_open() store the reference
in hppfs superblock.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Here's patch for hppfs that uses vfs_kern_mount to make sure it always has a
procfs instance and passed the vfsmount on through the inode private data.
Also fixes a procfs file_system_type leak for every attempted hppfs mount.[ jdike - gave this file a style workover, plus deleted hppfs_dentry_ops ]

Stop the HPPFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Provide an
hppfs_iget(), and call that instead of iget(). hppfs_iget() then uses
iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code instead of an inode in
the event of an error.hppfs_fill_sb_common() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.Note that the contents of hppfs_kern.c need to be examined:
(*) The HPPFS inode retains a pointer to the proc dentry it is shadowing, but
whilst it does appear to retain a reference to it, it doesn't appear to
destroy the reference if the inode goes away.(*) hppfs_iget() should perhaps subsume init_inode() and hppfs_read_inode().
(*) It would appear that all hppfs inodes are the same inode because iget()
was being called with inode number 0, which forms the lookup key.Signed-off-by: David Howells

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven

This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.[bunk@stusta.de: cleanup]

Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
pointer.This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of
sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does
require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
successfully.Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.[akpm@osdl.org: convert ipath_fs, do other stuff]

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixupsThe goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
