... and the same for reiserfs. The difference here is that we need insert_inode_locked4() to match iget5_locked(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Al Viro authored
* make ext2_new_inode() put the inode into icache in locked state * do not unlock until the inode is fully set up; otherwise nfsd might pick it in half-baked state. * make sure that ext2_new_inode() does *not* lead to two inodes with the same inumber hashed at the same time; otherwise a bogus fhandle coming from nfsd might race with inode creation: nfsd: iget_locked() creates inode nfsd: try to read from disk, block on that. ext2_new_inode(): allocate inode with that inumber ext2_new_inode(): insert it into icache, set it up and dirty ext2_write_inode(): get the relevant part of inode table in cache, set the entry for our inode (and start writing to disk) nfsd: get CPU again, look into inode table, see nice and sane on-disk inode, set the in-core inode from it oops - we have two in-core inodes with the same inumber live in icache, both used for IO.

new helpers - insert_inode_locked() and insert_inode_locked4(). Hash new inode, making sure that there's no such inode in icache already. If there is and it does not end up unhashed (as would happen if we have nfsd trying to resolve a bogus fhandle), fail. Otherwise insert our inode into hash and succeed. In either case have i_state set to new+locked; cleanup ends up being simpler with such calling conventions. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Creating a generic filesystem notification interface, fsnotify, which will be used by inotify, dnotify, and eventually fanotify is really starting to clutter the fs directory. This patch simply moves inotify and dnotify into fs/notify/inotify and fs/notify/dnotify respectively to make both current fs/ and future notification tidier.

- iget5_locked in bdget really needs blockdev_superblock, instead of bd_mnt, so bd_mnt could be just a local variable; - blockdev_superblock really needs __read_mostly, while local var bd_mnt not; - make use of sb_is_blkdev_sb in bd_forget, instead of direct reference to blockdev_superblock.

Remove the hopelessly misguided ->dir_notify(). The only instance (cifs) has been broken by design from the very beginning; the objects it creates are never destroyed, keep references to struct file they can outlive, nothing that could possibly evict them exists on close(2) path *and* no locking whatsoever is done to prevent races with close(), should the previous, er, deficiencies someday be dealt with.

With all the nameidata removal there's no point anymore for this helper. Of the three callers left two will go away with the next lookup series anyway.

struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's sad to see it going neglected. With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here (64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab. I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on... I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant: why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection. At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it would require 4. I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are <= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for 33-36 byte names. Performance is a feature...

Reorder struct inotify_device to remove 8 bytes of padding on 64bit builds, reducing size to 128 bytes . Therefore allocating from a smaller slab & using one fewer cachelines. Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk> ---- Hi, patch against 2.6.28-rc7. built & tested on AMDX2 desktop. I've not been able to send this to the listed inotify maintainers, I just get mail failures. So I guessed filesystem was the best home for it, hope that's ok. regards Richard Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
