ocfs: stop using do_sync_mapping_range · 2cfd30ad

Christoph Hellwig authored Sep 23, 2009

do_sync_mapping_range(..., SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE) is a very awkward way
to perform a filemap_fdatawrite_range.

cleanup blockdev_direct_IO locking · 1e431f5c

Christoph Hellwig authored Nov 03, 2009

Currently the locking in blockdev_direct_IO is a mess, we have three different
locking types and very confusing checks for some of them. The most
complicated one is DIO_OWN_LOCKING for reads, which happens to not actually be
used.

This patch gets rid of the DIO_OWN_LOCKING - as mentioned above the read case
is unused anyway, and the write side is almost identical to DIO_NO_LOCKING.
The difference is that DIO_NO_LOCKING always sets the create argument for
the get_blocks callback to zero, but we can easily move that to the actual
get_blocks callbacks. There are four users of the DIO_NO_LOCKING mode:
gfs already ignores the create argument and thus is fine with the new
version, ocfs2 only errors out if create were ever set, and we can remove
this dead code now, the block device code only ever uses create for an
error message if we are fully beyond the device which can never happen,
and last but not least XFS will need the new behavour for writes.

Now we can replace the lock_type variable with a flags one, where no flag
means the DIO_NO_LOCKING behaviour and DIO_LOCKING is kept as the first
flag. Separate out the check for not allowing to fill holes into a separate
flag, although for now both flags always get set at the same time.

Also revamp the documentation of the locking scheme to actually make sense.

make generic_acl slightly more generic · 1c7c474c

Christoph Hellwig authored Nov 03, 2009

Now that we cache the ACL pointers in the generic inode all the generic_acl
cruft can go away and generic_acl.c can directly implement xattr handlers
dealing with the full Posix ACL semantics for in-memory filesystems.

sanitize xattr handler prototypes · 431547b3

Christoph Hellwig authored Nov 13, 2009

Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr
handler methods.  This allows using the same methods for multiple
handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action
for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
attribute.  With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.

Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,
e.g. cifs.

libfs: move EXPORT_SYMBOL for d_alloc_name · ef26ca97

H Hartley Sweeten authored Sep 29, 2009

The EXPORT_SYMBOL for d_alloc_name is in fs/libfs.c but the function
is in fs/dcache.c.  Move the EXPORT_SYMBOL to the line immediately
after the closing function brace line in fs/dcache.c as mentioned
in Documentation/CodingStyle.

vfs: force reval of target when following LAST_BIND symlinks (try #7) · 39159de2

Jeff Layton authored Dec 07, 2009

procfs-style symlinks return a last_type of LAST_BIND without an actual
path string. This causes __follow_link to skip calling __vfs_follow_link
and so the dentry isn't revalidated.

This is a problem when the link target sits on NFSv4 as it depends on
the VFS to revalidate the dentry before using it on an open call. Ensure
that this occurs by forcing a revalidation of the target dentry of
LAST_BIND symlinks.

ima: limit imbalance msg · d1625436

Mimi Zohar authored Dec 04, 2009

Limit the number of imbalance messages to once per filesystem type instead of
once per system boot.  (it's actually slightly racy and could give you a
couple per fs, but this isn't a real issue)

Untangling ima mess, part 3: kill dead code in ima · 1429b3ec

Al Viro authored Dec 16, 2009

Kill the 'update' argument of ima_path_check(), kill
dead code in ima.

Current rules: ima counters are bumped at the same time
when the file switches from put_filp() fodder to fput()
one.  Which happens exactly in two places - alloc_file()
and __dentry_open().  Nothing else needs to do that at
all.

Untangling ima mess, part 1: alloc_file() · 0552f879

Al Viro authored Dec 16, 2009

There are 2 groups of alloc_file() callers:
	* ones that are followed by ima_counts_get
	* ones giving non-regular files
So let's pull that ima_counts_get() into alloc_file();
it's a no-op in case of non-regular files.
