This patch allows hostfs_setattr() to work on unlinked open files by calling
set_attr() (the userspace part) with the inode's fd.Without this, applications that depend on doing attribute changes to unlinked
open files will fail.It works by using the fd versions instead of the path ones (for example
fchmod() instead of chmod(), fchown() instead of chown()) when an fd is
available.Signed-off-by: Alberto Bertogli

When a given host directory is specified to be mounted both in hostfs=path1
and with mount option -o path2, we should give access to path1/path2, but this
does not happen. Fix that in the simpler way.Also, root_ino can be the empty string, since we use %s/%s as format.

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 patch cleans up generic_file_*_read/write() interfaces. Christoph
Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups.In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use
do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods. This allows us
to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.Final available interfaces:
generic_file_aio_read() - read handler
generic_file_aio_write() - write handler
generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler__generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine

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

This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h. The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched. In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.quilt vi `find * -type f -name "*.[ch]"|xargs grep -El '(UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|KERNEL_VERSION|linux/version.h)'|grep -Ev '(/(boot|coda|drm)/|~$)'`

Calling truncate() on hostfs spits a kernel warning "Something isn't
implemented here", but it still works fine.Indeed, hostfs i_op->truncate doesn't do anything. But hostfs_setattr() ->
set_attr() correctly detects ATTR_SIZE and calls truncate() on the host. So
we should be safe (using ftruncate() may be better, in case the file is
unlinked on the host, but we aren't sure to have the file open for writing,
and reopening it would cause the same races; plus nobody should expect UML to
be so careful).So, the warning is wrong, because the current implementation is working. Al,
am I correct, and can the warning be therefore dropped?CC: Al Viro

Update the file systems in fs/ implementing a delete_inode() callback to
call truncate_inode_pages(). One implementation note: In developing this
patch I put the calls to truncate_inode_pages() at the very top of those
filesystems delete_inode() callbacks in order to retain the previous
behavior. I'm guessing that some of those could probably be optimized.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

backing block device for this FS."Without having looked at it, I'm sure that hostfs does not use buffer_heads.
So setting your ->set_page_dirty a_op to point at __set_page_dirty_nobuffers()
is a reasonable thing to do - it'll provide a slight speedup."This speedup is one less spinlock held and one less conditional branch, which

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!
