  • 754661f14   [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1 ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • ff7954475   [PATCH] fuse: fix bug in control filesystem mount ... Browse Code »

    The BUG in fuse_ctl_add_dentry() could be triggered if the control
    filesystem was unmounted and mounted again while one or more fuse
    filesystems were present.

    The fix is to reset the dentry counter in fuse_ctl_kill_sb().

    Bug reported by Florent Mertens.

  • 8e18e2941   [PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private ... Browse Code »

    The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
    on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
    in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
    (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
    save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
    disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
    in the VFS inode structure).

    This patch:

    The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
    which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
    using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
    a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
    cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
    the union will actually be used.

    Add a control filesystem to fuse, replacing the attributes currently exported
    through sysfs. An empty directory '/sys/fs/fuse/connections' is still created
    in sysfs, and mounting the control filesystem here provides backward
    compatibility.

    Advantages of the control filesystem over the previous solution:

    - allows the object directory and the attributes to be owned by the
    filesystem owner, hence letting unpriviled users abort the
    filesystem connection

    - does not suffer from module unload race
