[O_TMPFILE] it's still short a few helpers, but infrastructure should be OK now...

don't expose I_NEW inodes via dentry->d_inode

2012-07-22T20:00:58Z

d_instantiate(dentry, inode); unlock_new_inode(inode); is a bad idea; do it the other way round... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

don't pass nameidata to ->create()

2012-07-14T12:34:47Z

boolean "does it have to be exclusive?" flag is passed instead; Local filesystem should just ignore it - the object is guaranteed not to be there yet. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

stop passing nameidata to ->lookup()

2012-07-14T12:34:32Z

Just the flags; only NFS cares even about that, but there are legitimate uses for such argument. And getting rid of that completely would require splitting ->lookup() into a couple of methods (at least), so let's leave that alone for now... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entry

2012-05-11T02:54:35Z

This allows comparing hash and len in one operation on 64-bit architectures. Right now only __d_lookup_rcu() takes advantage of this, since that is the case we care most about. The use of anonymous struct/unions hides the alternate 64-bit approach from most users, the exception being a few cases where we initialize a 'struct qstr' with a static initializer. This makes the problematic cases use a new QSTR_INIT() helper function for that (but initializing just the name pointer with a "{ .name = xyzzy }" initializer remains valid, as does just copying another qstr structure).

vfs: check i_nlink limits in vfs_{mkdir,rename_dir,link}

2012-03-21T01:29:32Z

New field of struct super_block - ->s_max_links. Maximal allowed value of ->i_nlink or 0; in the latter case all checks still need to be done in ->link/->mkdir/->rename instances. Note that this limit applies both to directoris and to non-directories. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

switch ->create() to umode_t

2012-01-04T03:54:53Z

vfs_create() ignores everything outside of 16bit subset of its mode argument; switching it to umode_t is obviously equivalent and it's the only caller of the method Signed-off-by: Al Viro

switch vfs_mkdir() and ->mkdir() to umode_t

2012-01-04T03:54:53Z

vfs_mkdir() gets int, but immediately drops everything that might not fit into umode_t and that's the only caller of ->mkdir()... Signed-off-by: Al Viro
