2007-07-10[PATCH] configsfs buffer: use mutexJohannes Berg
Seems copied from sysfs, but I don't see a reason here nor there to use a semaphore instead of a mutex. Convert. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2007-07-10configfs: consistent attribute sizeJoel Becker
The attribute store/show code currently limits attributes at PAGE_SIZE. This code comes from sysfs, where it still works that way. However, PAGE_SIZE is not constant. A 16k attribute string works on ia64 but not on x86. Really a subsystem shouldn't allow different attribute sizes based on platform. As such, limit all simple attributes to 4k. This works on all platforms, and is consistent with all current code. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

2007-02-07configfs: Zero terminate data in configfs attribute writes.Joel Becker
Attributes in configfs are text files. As such, most handlers expect to be able to call functions like simple_strtoul() without checking the bounds of the buffer. Change the call to zero terminate the buffer before calling the client's ->store() method. This does reduce the attribute size from PAGE_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE-1. Also, change get_zeroed_page() to alloc_page(), as we are handling the termination. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

2006-03-28[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ constArjan van de Ven
This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-02-03configfs: Add permission and ownership to configfs objects.Joel Becker
configfs always made item and attribute ownership root.root and permissions based on a umask of 022. Add ->setattr() to allow chown(2)/chmod(2), and persist the changes for the lifetime of the items and attributes.

2006-01-09[PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_semJes Sorensen
This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your luck with it might be different.
