kernel.git/fs/ocfs2, branch linux-3.6.y

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2012-08-01T17:26:23Z

Pull second vfs pile from Al Viro: "The stuff in there: fsfreeze deadlock fixes by Jan (essentially, the deadlock reproduced by xfstests 068), symlink and hardlink restriction patches, plus assorted cleanups and fixes. Note that another fsfreeze deadlock (emergency thaw one) is *not* dealt with - the series by Fernando conflicts a lot with Jan's, breaks userland ABI (FIFREEZE semantics gets changed) and trades the deadlock for massive vfsmount leak; this is going to be handled next cycle. There probably will be another pull request, but that stuff won't be in it."

ocfs2: Convert to new freezing mechanism

2012-07-31T05:45:49Z

Protect ocfs2_page_mkwrite() and ocfs2_file_aio_write() using the new freeze protection. We also protect several ioctl entry points which were missing the protection. Finally, we add freeze protection to the journaling mechanism so that iput() of unlinked inode cannot modify a frozen filesystem.

ocfs2: use memweight()

pull mnt_want_write()/mnt_drop_write() into kern_path_create()/done_path_create() resp.

2012-07-29T17:24:15Z

One side effect - attempt to create a cross-device link on a read-only fs fails with EROFS instead of EXDEV now. Makes more sense, POSIX allows, etc. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

new helper: done_path_create()

releases what needs to be released after {kern,user}_path_create() 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

stop passing nameidata * to ->d_revalidate()

2012-07-14T12:34:14Z

Just the lookup flags. Die, bastard, die... Signed-off-by: Al Viro
