fs: take the ACL checks to common code

2011-07-25T18:30:23Z

Replace the ->check_acl method with a ->get_acl method that simply reads an ACL from disk after having a cache miss. This means we can replace the ACL checking boilerplate code with a single implementation in namei.c. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers

2011-07-21T00:47:59Z

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

kill check_acl callback of generic_permission()

2011-07-20T05:43:16Z

its value depends only on inode and does not change; we might as well store it in ->i_op->check_acl and be done with that. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT

2010-09-16T18:52:58Z

All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous caller. To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous state machine ahead. So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout. For blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

Fix reiserfs_file_release()

2010-08-09T20:47:27Z

a) count file openers correctly; i_count use was completely wrong b) use new mutex for exclusion between final close/open/truncate, to protect tailpacking logics. i_mutex use was wrong and resulted in deadlocks. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

blkdev: generalize flags for blkdev_issue_fn functions

2010-04-28T17:47:36Z

The patch just convert all blkdev_issue_xxx function to common set of flags. Wait/allocation semantics preserved. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

dquot: move dquot initialization responsibility into the filesystem

2010-03-04T23:20:30Z

Currently various places in the VFS call vfs_dq_init directly. This means we tie the quota code into the VFS. Get rid of that and make the filesystem responsible for the initialization. For most metadata operations this is a straight forward move into the methods, but for truncate and open it's a bit more complicated. For truncate we currently only call vfs_dq_init for the sys_truncate case because open already takes care of it for ftruncate and open(O_TRUNC) - the new code causes an additional vfs_dq_init for those which is harmless. For open the initialization is moved from do_filp_open into the open method, which means it happens slightly earlier now, and only for regular files. The latter is fine because we don't need to initialize it for operations on special files, and we already do it as part of the namespace operations for directories. Add a dquot_file_open helper that filesystems that support generic quotas can use to fill in ->open. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: definitely drop the bkl from reiserfs_ioctl()

2009-10-14T21:28:12Z

The reiserfs ioctl path doesn't need the big kernel lock anymore , now that the filesystem synchronizes through its own lock. We can then turn reiserfs_ioctl() into an unlocked_ioctl callback.

reiserfs: rename [cn]_* variables

2009-03-30T19:16:40Z

This patch renames n_, c_, etc variables to something more sane. This is the sixth in a series of patches to rip out some of the awful variable naming in reiserfs. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
