When a file is truncated with truncate()/ftruncate() and then closed,
iversion is not updated. This patch uses ATTR_SIZE flag as an indication
to increment iversion.Mimi said:
On fput(), i_version is used to detect and flag files that have changed
and need to be re-measured in the IMA measurement policy. When a file
is truncated with truncate()/ftruncate() and then closed, i_version is
not updated. As a result, although the file has changed, it will not be
re-measured and added to the IMA measurement list on subsequent access.Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin

file_remove_suid() is a generic function operates on struct file,
it almost has no relations with file mapping, so move it to fs/inode.c.Cc: Alexander Viro

Currently JFFS2 file-system maps the VFS "superblock" abstraction to the
write-buffer. Namely, it uses VFS services to synchronize the write-buffer
periodically.The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the
'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and
writes out all dirty superblock using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the
problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every
5 seconds no matter what. So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to
make file-systems to stop using the '->write_super' VFS service, and then
remove it together with the kernel thread.This patch switches the JFFS2 write-buffer management from
'->write_super()'/'->s_dirt' to a delayed work. Instead of setting the 's_dirt'
flag we just schedule a delayed work for synchronizing the write-buffer.Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

We do not need to call 'jffs2_write_super()' on sync. This function
causes a GC pass to make sure the current contents is pushed out with
the data which we already have on the media.But this is not needed on unmount and only slows sync down unnecessarily.
It is enough to just sync the write-buffer.This call was added by one of the generic VFS rework patch-sets,

lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros
in lglock.h. But there's no reason to not just use common utility
functions and put all the data into a common data structure.In preparation, this patch changes the API to look more like normal
function calls with pointers, not magic macros.The patch is rather large because I move over all users in one go to keep
it bisectable. This impacts the VFS somewhat in terms of lines changed.
But no actual behaviour change.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes]

lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros
in lglock.h. But there's no reason to not just use common utility
functions and put all the data into a common data structure.Since there are at least two users it makes sense to share this code in a
library. This is also easier maintainable than a macro forest.This will also make it later possible to dynamically allocate lglocks and
also use them in modules (this would both still need some additional, but
now straightforward, code)[akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes]
