[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: unlink: monitor i_nlink

2006-10-01T07:39:30Z

When a filesystem decrements i_nlink to zero, it means that a write must be performed in order to drop the inode from the filesystem. We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs. So, add a little helper function to do the decrements. We'll tie into it in a bit to note when i_nlink hits zero. Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanups

2006-10-01T07:39:28Z

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 Signed-off-by: Badari Pulavarty Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structure

2006-09-27T15:26:18Z

This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function. Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect) values for i_blksize.

[PATCH] Really ignore kmem_cache_destroy return value

2006-09-27T15:26:10Z

* Rougly half of callers already do it by not checking return value * Code in drivers/acpi/osl.c does the following to be sure: (void)kmem_cache_destroy(cache); * Those who check it printk something, however, slab_error already printed the name of failed cache. * XFS BUGs on failed kmem_cache_destroy which is not the decision low-level filesystem driver should make. Converted to ignore. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Fix for minix crash

2006-08-27T18:01:30Z

Mounting a (corrupt) minix filesystem with zero s_zmap_blocks gives a spectacular crash on my 2.6.17.8 system, no doubt because minix/inode.c does an unconditional minix_set_bit(0,sbi->s_zmap[0]->b_data); [akpm@osdl.org: make labels conistent while we're there] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] mark address_space_operations const

Same as with already do with the file operations: keep them in .rodata and prevents people from doing runtime patching. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Steven French Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] read_mapping_page for address space

2006-06-23T14:43:02Z

Add read_mapping_page() which is used for callers that pass mapping->a_ops->readpage as the filler for read_cache_page. This removes some duplication from filesystem code. Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentry

2006-06-23T14:42:45Z

Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock pointer. This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits the root in the vfsmount to be used instead. linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build successfully. Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems. Signed-off-by: David Howells Acked-by: Al Viro Cc: Nathan Scott Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
