  • parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested},
    inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).

    Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
    ->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held
    only shared.

  • Convert the following where appropriate:

    (1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).

    (2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).

    (3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry). This is actually more
    complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
    d_can_lookup() instead. The difference is whether the directory in
    question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
    a ->d_automount op.

    In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being
    NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
    d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
    use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).

    Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
    DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
    manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer. In such a
    case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
    type of the lower dentry.

    However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
    the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.

    There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
    DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE. Strictly, this was
    intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.

    The following perl+coccinelle script was used:

    use strict;

    my @callers;
    open($fd, 'git grep -l \'S_IS[A-Z].*->d_inode\' |') ||
    die "Can't grep for S_ISDIR and co. callers";
    @callers = ;
    close($fd);
    unless (@callers) {
    print "No matches\n";
    exit(0);
    }

    my @cocci = (
    '@@',
    'expression E;',
    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISLNK(E->d_inode->i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_symlink(E)',
    '',
    '@@',
    'expression E;',
    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISDIR(E->d_inode->i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_dir(E)',
    '',
    '@@',
    'expression E;',
    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISREG(E->d_inode->i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_reg(E)' );

    my $coccifile = "tmp.sp.cocci";
    open($fd, ">$coccifile") || die $coccifile;
    print($fd "$_\n") || die $coccifile foreach (@cocci);
    close($fd);

    foreach my $file (@callers) {
    chomp $file;
    print "Processing ", $file, "\n";
    system("spatch", "--sp-file", $coccifile, $file, "--in-place", "--no-show-diff") == 0 ||
    die "spatch failed";
    }

  • Require filesystems be aware of .d_revalidate being called in rcu-walk
    mode (nd->flags & LOOKUP_RCU). For now do a simple push down, returning
    -ECHILD from all implementations.

  • Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
    flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
    This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
    situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
    have d_op but not the particular operation.

    Patched with:

    git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

  • Make d_count non-atomic and protect it with d_lock. This allows us to ensure a
    0 refcount dentry remains 0 without dcache_lock. It is also fairly natural when
    we start protecting many other dentry members with d_lock.

  • Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching
    advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent,
    and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback
    anyway.

    This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning
    much simpler.
