Johannes Berg reports (Thanks!) that &struct names are not highlighted in html output format when they are inside a DOC: block. DOC: blocks were not escaped thru xml_escape() like other kernel-doc comments were. Fixed that. However, that left a problem with <p> ($blankline_html) being processed thru xml_escape(), converting it to <p>, which isn't good for the generated html output (the <p> should remain unchanged), so this patch also introduces the notion of "local" kernel-doc meta-characters ('\\\\mnemonic:'), which are converted to html just before writing the stream to its output file. Please report any problems that you (anyone) see in "highlighting" in any output mode (text, man, html, xml). Also update copyright to include me.

I'm going to be modifying nfsd_rename() shortly to support read-only bind mounts. This #ifdef is around the area I'm patching, and it starts to get really ugly if I just try to add my new code by itself. Using this little helper makes things a lot cleaner to use. Signed-off-by:

First of all, this makes the structure jumping look a little bit cleaner. So, this stands alone as a tiny cleanup. But, we also need 'mnt' by itself a few more times later in this series, so this isn't _just_ a cleanup. Signed-off-by:

may_open() calls vfs_permission() before it does checks for IS_RDONLY(inode). It checks _again_ inside of vfs_permission(). The check inside of vfs_permission() is going away eventually. With the mnt_want/drop_write() functions, all of the r/o checks (except for this one) are consistently done before calling permission(). Because of this, I'd like to use permission() to hold a debugging check to make sure that the mnt_want/drop_write() calls are actually being made. So, to do this: 1. remove the IS_RDONLY() check from permission() 2. enforce that you must mnt_want_write() before even calling permission() 3. actually add the debugging check to permission() We need to rearrange may_open() to do r/o checks before calling permission(). Here's the patch. Signed-off-by:

Why do we need r/o bind mounts? This feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem. In the process of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of the number of writers to any given mount. This has a number of uses. It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems writable. It will be useful for containers in the future because users may have root inside a container, but should not be allowed to write to somefilesystems. This also replaces patches that vserver has had out of the tree for several years. It allows security enhancement by making sure that parts of your filesystem read-only (such as when you don't trust your FTP server), when you don't want to have entire new filesystems mounted, or when you want atime selectively updated. I've been using the following script to test that the feature is working as desired. It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o bind mount of it. It then performs some normal filesystem operations on the three directories, including ones that are expected to fail, like creating a file on the r/o mount. This patch: Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct file's. This patch creates a couple of helper functions which can be used by these filesystems, and will provide a unified place which the r/o bind mount code may patch. Also, rename an existing, static-scope init_file() to a less generic name. Signed-off-by:

Most drivers for devices supporting ISA DMA can operate without DMA as well (falling back zo PIO). Thus it seems inappropriate for PNP to fail device initialization in case none of the possible DMA channels are available. Instead, it should be left to the driver to decide what to do if request_dma() fails. The patch at once adjusts the code to account for the fact that pnp_assign_dma() now doesn't need to report failure anymore. Signed-off-by:

pnpacpi_suspend() doesn't check the result returned by acpi_pm_device_sleep_state() before passing it to acpi_bus_set_power(), which may not be desirable. Make it select the target power state of the device using its second argument if acpi_pm_device_sleep_state() fails. Signed-off-by:

Define a new function fuse_refresh_attributes() that conditionally refreshes the attributes based on the validity timeout. In fuse_permission() only refresh the attributes for checking the execute bits if necessary. Signed-off-by:

Don't return -ENOENT for a read() on the fuse device when the request was aborted. Instead return -ENODEV, meaning the filesystem has been force-umounted or aborted. Previously ENOENT meant that the request was interrupted, but now the 'aborted' flag is not set in case of interrupts. Signed-off-by:

Don't set 'aborted' flag on a request if it's interrupted. We have to wait for the answer anyway, and this would only a very little time while copying the reply. This means, that write() on the fuse device will not return -ENOENT during normal operation, only if the filesystem is aborted by a forced umount or through the fusectl interface. This could simplify userspace code somewhat when backward compatibility with earlier kernel versions is not required. Signed-off-by:

The VFS checks sticky bits on the parent directory even if the filesystem defines it's own ->permission(). In some situations (sshfs, mountlo, etc) the user does have permission to delete a file even if the attribute based checking would not allow it. So work around this by storing the permission bits separately and returning them in stat(), but cutting the permission bits off from inode->i_mode. This is slightly hackish, but it's probably not worth it to add new infrastructure in VFS and a slight performance penalty for all filesystems, just for the sake of fuse.

fuse_permission() didn't refresh inode attributes before using them, even if the validity has already expired. Thanks to Junjiro Okajima for spotting this. Also remove some old code to unconditionally refresh the attributes on the root inode. Signed-off-by:

Aufs seems to depend on a positive i_nlink value. So fill in a dummy but sane value for the root inode at mount time. The inode attributes are refreshed with the correct values at the first opportunity. Signed-off-by:

Other than truncate, there are two cases, when fuse tries to get rid of cached pages: a) in open, if KEEP_CACHE flag is not set b) in getattr, if file size changed spontaneously Until now invalidate_mapping_pages() were used, which didn't get rid of mapped pages. This is wrong, and becomes more wrong as dirty pages are introduced. So instead properly invalidate all pages with invalidate_inode_pages2(). Signed-off-by:

Memory mappings were only truncated on an explicit truncate, but not when the file size was changed externally. Fix this by moving the truncation code from fuse_setattr to fuse_change_attributes. Yes, there are races between write and and external truncation, but we can't really do anything about them. Signed-off-by:

Make lifetime of 'struct fuse_file' independent from 'struct file' by adding a reference counter and destructor. This will enable asynchronous page writeback, where it cannot be guaranteed, that the file is not released while a request with this file handle is being served. The actual RELEASE request is only sent when there are no more references to the fuse_file. Signed-off-by:

Use wake_up_all instead of wake_up in put_reserved_req(), otherwise it is possible that the right task is not woken up. Also create a separate reserved_req_waitq in addition to the blocked_waitq, since they fulfill totally separate functions. Signed-off-by:

The floppy drive is slow. These days I see absolutely no good reason why the floppy driver should try to gain a tiny bit of speed by telling gcc to optimize access to some variables via the register keyword. Better to just leave gcc free to do whatever optimizations it deduces to be sane and not hamper it by telling it that some variables in the floppy driver are special and need to be fast (they don't).

A good initial step for a cleanup seems to me to be getting rid of old dead code. This stuff is either commented out or inside '#if 0' so it is not currently in use at all, let's just get rid of it once and for all. That's a few lines less to deal with. Signed-off-by:

Yes, some of this will likely be replaced in later patches, but I do not see anyone else coming out of the woodwork with any patches for this driver, so I'll ignore comments about churn. I want to get this driver cleaned up, and if I'm going to do so I want to start with this basic style cleanup to reduce the reading pain a bit. Signed-off-by:

Change migration_call(CPU_DEAD) to use direct spin_lock_irq() instead of task_rq_lock(rq->idle), rq->idle can't change its task_rq(). This makes the code a bit more symmetrical with migrate_dead_tasks()'s path which uses spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq. Signed-off-by:

Currently move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called under write_lock_irq(tasklist). This means it can't use task_lock() which is needed to improve migrating to take task's ->cpuset into account. Change the code to call move_task_off_dead_cpu() with irqs enabled, and change migrate_live_tasks() to use read_lock(tasklist). This all is a preparation for the futher changes proposed by Cliff Wickman, see http://marc.info/?t=117327786100003Signed-off-by:

Whenever a read error is found, we should attempt to overwrite with correct data to 'fix' it. However when do a 'check' pass (which compares data blocks that are successfully read, but doesn't normally overwrite) we don't do that. We should. Signed-off-by:
