  • 5cbded585   [PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls ... Browse Code »

    Run this:

    #!/bin/sh
    for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
    echo "De-casting $f..."
    perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
    done

    And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
    to non-pointers.

    And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

    When a filesystem decrements i_nlink to zero, it means that a write must be
    performed in order to drop the inode from the filesystem.

    We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between
    the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs.

    So, add a little helper function to do the decrements. We'll tie into it in a
    bit to note when i_nlink hits zero.

  • 543ade1fc   [PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanups ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • 726c33422   [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentry ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • 454e2398b   [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • b964638ff   JFS: Fix multiple errors in metapage_releasepage ... Browse Code »

    It looks like metapage_releasepage was making in invalid assumption that
    the releasepage method would not be called on a dirty page. Instead of
    issuing a warning and releasing the metapage, it should return 0, indicating
    that the private data for the page cannot be released.

    I also realized that metapage_releasepage had the return code all wrong. If
    it is successful in releasing the private data, it should return 1, otherwise
    it needs to return 0.

    Lastly, there is no need to call wait_on_page_writeback, since
    try_to_release_page will not call us with a page in writback state.

    This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/

    The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to

    things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
    cache clean)

    b_size represents the amount of disk mapping that needs to mapped. On the
