new helper: mount_bdev()

2010-10-29T08:16:13Z

... and switch of the obvious get_sb_bdev() users to ->mount() Signed-off-by: Al Viro

switch minix to ->evict_inode(), fix write_inode/delete_inode race

2010-08-09T20:47:53Z

We need to wait for completion of possible writeback in progress before we clear on-disk inode during deletion. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

get rid of block_write_begin_newtrunc

2010-08-09T20:47:33Z

Move the call to vmtruncate to get rid of accessive blocks to the callers in preparation of the new truncate sequence and rename the non-truncating version to block_write_begin. While we're at it also remove several unused arguments to block_write_begin. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

introduce __block_write_begin

2010-08-09T20:47:32Z

Split up the block_write_begin implementation - __block_write_begin is a new trivial wrapper for block_prepare_write that always takes an already allocated page and can be either called from block_write_begin or filesystem code that already has a page allocated. Remove the handling of already allocated pages from block_write_begin after switching all callers that do it to __block_write_begin. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

clean up write_begin usage for directories in pagecache

2010-08-09T20:47:31Z

For filesystem that implement directories in pagecache we call block_write_begin with an already allocated page for this code, while the normal regular file write path uses the default block_write_begin behaviour. Get rid of the __foofs_write_begin helper and opencode the normal write_begin call in foofs_write_begin, while adding a new foofs_prepare_chunk helper for the directory code. The added benefit is that foofs_prepare_chunk has a much saner calling convention. Note that the interruptible flag passed into block_write_begin is always ignored if we already pass in a page (see next patch for details), and we never were doing truncations of exessive blocks for this case either so we can switch directly to block_write_begin_newtrunc.

pass writeback_control to ->write_inode

2010-03-05T18:25:52Z

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.

switch minix to simple_fsync()

2009-06-12T01:36:12Z

* get minix_write_inode() to honour the second argument * now we can use simple_fsync() for minixfs Signed-off-by: Al Viro

push BKL down into ->put_super

2009-06-12T01:36:07Z

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] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro
