Replace the ->check_acl method with a ->get_acl method that simply reads an
ACL from disk after having a cache miss. This means we can replace the ACL
checking boilerplate code with a single implementation in namei.c.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
which can lead to some confusion.This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
what to expect. In addition add some documentation for both methods.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Get rid of the initialize dquot operation - it is now always called from
the filesystem and if a filesystem really needs it's own (which none
currently does) it can just call into it's own routine directly.Rename the now static low-level dquot_initialize helper to __dquot_initialize
and vfs_dq_init to dquot_initialize to have a consistent namespace.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig
Signed-off-by: Jan Kara -
Currently various places in the VFS call vfs_dq_init directly. This means
we tie the quota code into the VFS. Get rid of that and make the
filesystem responsible for the initialization. For most metadata operations
this is a straight forward move into the methods, but for truncate and
open it's a bit more complicated.For truncate we currently only call vfs_dq_init for the sys_truncate case
because open already takes care of it for ftruncate and open(O_TRUNC) - the
new code causes an additional vfs_dq_init for those which is harmless.For open the initialization is moved from do_filp_open into the open method,
which means it happens slightly earlier now, and only for regular files.
The latter is fine because we don't need to initialize it for operations
on special files, and we already do it as part of the namespace operations
for directories.Add a dquot_file_open helper that filesystems that support generic quotas
can use to fill in ->open.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

When an IO error happens while writing metadata buffers, we should better
report it and call ext2_error since the filesystem is probably no longer
consistent. Sometimes such IO errors happen while flushing thread does
background writeback, the buffer gets later evicted from memory, and thus
the only trace of the error remains as AS_EIO bit set in blockdevice's
mapping. So we check this bit in ext2_fsync and report the error although
we cannot be really sure which buffer we failed to write.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

Any block based fs (this patch includes ext3) just has to declare its own
fiemap() function and then call this generic function with its own
get_block_t. This works well for block based filesystems that will map
multiple contiguous blocks at one time, but will work for filesystems that
only map one block at a time, you will just end up with an "extent" for each
block. One gotcha is this will not play nicely where there is hole+data
after the EOF. This function will assume its hit the end of the data as soon
as it hits a hole after the EOF, so if there is any data past that it will
not pick that up. AFAIK no block based fs does this anyway, but its in the
comments of the function anyway just in case.Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik

This patch removes xip_file_sendfile, the sendfile implementation for
xip without replacement. Those customers that use xip on s390 are not
using sendfile() as far as we know, and so far s390 is the only platform
this could potentially be used on so far.
Having sendfile is not a popular feature for execute in place file
systems, however we have a working implementation of splice_read() based
on fs/splice.c if anyone asks for it.
At this point in time, it does not seem preferable to merge
splice_read() for xip because it causes extra maintenence effort due to
code duplication and it requires struct page behind the xip memory
segment. We'd like to get rid of that in favor of supporting flash based
embedded platforms (Monta Vista work) soon.Signed-off-by: Carsten Otte

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 adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).From the splice.c comments:
"splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.
This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation
bugs.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

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 reworks filemap_xip.c with the goal to reduce code duplication
from mm/filemap.c. It applies agains 2.6.12-rc6-mm1. Instead of
implementing the aio functions, this one implements the synchronous
read/write functions only. For readv and writev, the generic fallback is
used. For aio, we rely on the application doing the fallback. Since our
"synchronous" function does memcpy immediately anyway, there is no
performance difference between using the fallbacks or implementing each
operation.Signed-off-by: Carsten Otte

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!
