[XFS] Don't do I/O beyond eof when unreserving space

2008-09-17T06:52:50Z

When unreserving space with boundaries that are not block aligned we round up the start and round down the end boundaries and then use this function, xfs_zero_remaining_bytes(), to zero the parts of the blocks that got dropped during the rounding. The problem is we don't consider if these blocks are beyond eof. Worse still is if we encounter delayed allocations beyond eof we will try to use the magic delayed allocation block number as a real block number. If the file size is ever extended to expose these blocks then we'll go through xfs_zero_eof() to zero them anyway.

[XFS] Prevent lockdep false positives when locking two inodes.

2008-09-17T06:51:21Z

If we call xfs_lock_two_inodes() to grab both the iolock and the ilock, then drop the ilocks on both inodes, then grab them again (as xfs_swap_extents() does) then lockdep will report a locking order problem. This is a false positive. To avoid this, disallow xfs_lock_two_inodes() fom locking both inode locks at once - force calers to make two separate calls. This means that nested dropping and regaining of the ilocks will retain the same lockdep subclass and so lockdep will not see anything wrong with this code.

CRED: Introduce credential access wrappers

2008-08-13T23:35:23Z

The patches that are intended to introduce copy-on-write credentials for 2.6.28 require abstraction of access to some fields of the task structure, particularly for the case of one task accessing another's credentials where RCU will have to be observed. Introduced here are trivial no-op versions of the desired accessors for current and other tasks so that other subsystems can start to be converted over more easily. Wrappers are introduced into a new header (linux/cred.h) for UID/GID, EUID/EGID, SUID/SGID, FSUID/FSGID, cap_effective and current's subscribed user_struct. These wrappers are macros because the ordering between header files mitigates against making them inline functions. linux/cred.h is #included from linux/sched.h. Further, XFS is modified such that it no longer defines and uses parameterised versions of current_fs[ug]id(), thus getting rid of the namespace collision otherwise incurred.

[XFS] update timestamp in xfs_ialloc manually

2008-08-13T06:44:15Z

In xfs_ialloc we just want to set all timestamps to the current time. We don't need to mark the inode dirty like xfs_ichgtime does, and we don't need nor want the opimizations in xfs_ichgtime that I will introduce in the next patch. So just opencode the timestamp update in xfs_ialloc, and remove the new unused XFS_ICHGTIME_ACC case in xfs_ichgtime.

[XFS] kill bhv_vnode_t

2008-08-13T06:22:40Z

All remaining bhv_vnode_t instance are in code that's more or less Linux specific. (Well, for xfs_acl.c that could be argued, but that code is on the removal list, too). So just do an s/bhv_vnode_t/struct inode/ over the whole tree. We can clean up variable naming and some useless helpers later.

[XFS] remove some easy bhv_vnode_t instances

2008-08-13T06:22:09Z

In various places we can just move a VFS_I call into the argument list of called functions/macros instead of having a local bhv_vnode_t. SGI-PV: 981498 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:31776a Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Lachlan McIlroy

[XFS] kill xfs_lock_dir_and_entry

2008-08-13T06:18:07Z

When multiple inodes are locked in XFS it happens in order of the inode number, with the everything but the first inode trylocked if any of the previous inodes is in the AIL. Except for the sorting of the inodes this logic is implemented in xfs_lock_inodes, but also partially duplicated in xfs_lock_dir_and_entry in a particularly stupid way adds a lock roundtrip if the inode ordering is not optimal. This patch adds a new helper xfs_lock_two_inodes that takes two inodes and locks them in the most optimal way according to the above locking protocol and uses it for all places that want to lock two inodes. The only caller of xfs_lock_inodes is xfs_rename which might lock up to four inodes.

[XFS] kill vn_to_inode

2008-08-13T06:12:05Z

bhv_vnode_t is just a typedef for struct inode, so there's no need for a helper to convert between the two. SGI-PV: 981498 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:31761a Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Lachlan McIlroy
