  • The attached patch makes the kAFS filesystem in fs/afs/ use FS-Cache, and
    through it any attached caches. The kAFS filesystem will use caching
    automatically if it's available.

  • First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
    function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
    mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

    This patch
    a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
    b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
    c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
    d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
    e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
    getting them indirectly

    Net result is:
    a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
    they don't need sched.h
    b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
    on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
    after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

    Cross-compile tested on

    all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
    alpha alpha-up
    arm
    i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig
    ia64 ia64-up
    m68k
    mips
    parisc parisc-up
    powerpc powerpc-up
    s390 s390-up
    sparc sparc-up
    sparc64 sparc64-up
    um-x86_64
    x86_64 x86_64-up x86_64-defconfig x86_64-allnoconfig

    as well as my two usual configs.

  • Add support for the create, link, symlink, unlink, mkdir, rmdir and
    rename VFS operations to the in-kernel AFS filesystem.

    Also:

    (1) Fix dentry and inode revalidation. d_revalidate should only look at
    state of the dentry. Revalidation of the contents of an inode pointed to
    by a dentry is now separate.

    (2) Fix afs_lookup() to hash negative dentries as well as positive ones.

  • Add security support to the AFS filesystem. Kerberos IV tickets are added as
    RxRPC keys are added to the session keyring with the klog program. open() and
    other VFS operations then find this ticket with request_key() and either use
    it immediately (eg: mkdir, unlink) or attach it to a file descriptor (open).

  • Clean up the AFS sources.

    Also remove references to AFS keys. RxRPC keys are used instead.

  • 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!
