Don't pass inode to ->d_hash() and ->d_compare()

2013-06-29T08:57:36Z

Instances either don't look at it at all (the majority of cases) or only want it to find the superblock (which can be had as dentry->d_sb). A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry->d_inode - the only precaution needed is the check that it hadn't been replaced with NULL by rmdir() or by overwriting rename(), which case should be simply treated as cache miss.

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: 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

sysv: remove unnecessary dentry_unhash from rmdir, dir rename

2011-05-28T05:02:50Z

sysv does not have problems with references to unlinked directories. CC: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Sage Weil Signed-off-by: Al Viro

vfs: push dentry_unhash on rename_dir into file systems

2011-05-26T11:26:48Z

Only a few file systems need this. Start by pushing it down into each rename method (except gfs2 and xfs) so that it can be dealt with on a per-fs basis. Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Sage Weil Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Only a few file systems need this. Start by pushing it down into each fs rmdir method (except gfs2 and xfs) so it can be dealt with on a per-fs basis. This does not change behavior for any in-tree file systems. Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Sage Weil Signed-off-by: Al Viro
