  • This gives the filesystem more information about the writeback that
    is happening. Trond requested this for the NFS unstable write handling,
    and other filesystems might benefit from this too by beeing able to
    distinguish between the different callers in more detail.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Rename the now static low-level dquot_transfer helper to __dquot_transfer

  • Currently notify_change calls vfs_dq_transfer directly. This means

  • Get rid of the alloc_inode and free_inode dquot operations - they are
    always called from the filesystem and if a filesystem really needs
    their own (which none currently does) it can just call into it's

    Also get rid of the vfs_dq_alloc/vfs_dq_free wrappers and always
    call the lowlevel dquot_alloc_inode / dqout_free_inode routines
    directly, which now lose the number argument which is always 1.

  • Get rid of the alloc_space, free_space, reserve_space, claim_space and

    Move shared logic into the common __dquot_alloc_space,
    dquot_claim_space_nodirty and __dquot_free_space low-level methods,
    and rationalize the wrappers around it to move as much as possible
    code into the common block for CONFIG_QUOTA vs not. Also rename
    all these helpers to be named dquot_* instead of vfs_dq_*.

    Commit 073aaa1b142461d91f83da66db1184d7c1b1edea "helpers for acl
    caching + switch to those" introduced new helper functions for
    acl handling but seems to have introduced a regression for jfs as
    the acl is released before returning it to the caller, instead of
    leaving this for the caller to do.
    This causes the acl object to be used after freeing it, leading
    to kernel panics in completely different places.

    Thanks to Christophe Dumez for reporting and bisecting into this.

  • Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller. A couple of
    filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of
    s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
    hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment. Most
    of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
    Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

    [AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are
    removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super()
    now]
    [AV: fuse, btrfs and xfs are known to need no damn BKL, exempt]

  • Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
    as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
    ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
    in module refcount underflow.

    We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
    and ->data.

    But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
    and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
    switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
    some thoughts.

    ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
    protection.

    rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
    And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
    We definitely don't want such modular code.

    Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

    So, let's nuke it.

    Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

  • Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
    suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
    filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
    replication) while it is mounted.

    In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature
    and it would be used to get the consistent backup.

    If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
    without a commercial filesystem.

    So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
    I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
    1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
    2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
    with the storage device's feature.
    3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
    4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
    or the snapshot.

    This patch:

    VFS:
    Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
    to "int" so that they can return an error.
    Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
    freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.

    ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
    Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
    to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
    and unlockfs always returns 0.

    reiserfs:
    Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
    to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

  • xtLookupList() was a more generalized version of xtLookup() with a
    nastier interface. Its only caller, extHint(), is actually better
    suited to using xtLookup() than xtLookupList(). This also lets us
    remove the definition of lxd_t, an obnoxious packed structure that was
    only used in-memory.
