new helper: ihold()

2010-10-26T01:26:11Z

Clones an existing reference to inode; caller must already hold one. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

rename the generic fsync implementations

2010-05-28T02:06:06Z

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 Signed-off-by: Al Viro

headers: smp_lock.h redux

2009-07-12T19:22:34Z

* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!) * Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it * Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW) Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the BFS filesystem

2008-11-13T23:38:47Z

Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds. Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id(). Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.

[PATCH] fix ->llseek for more directories

2008-10-23T09:13:21Z

With this patch all directory fops instances that have a readdir that doesn't take the BKL are switched to generic_file_llseek. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

iget: stop BFS from using iget() and read_inode()

2008-02-07T16:42:27Z

Stop the BFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Replace bfs_read_inode() with bfs_iget(), and call that instead of iget(). bfs_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code instead of an inode in the event of an error. bfs_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode instead of EINVAL.
