2008-12-05Fix a race condition in FASYNC handlingJonathan Corbet
Changeset a238b790d5f99c7832f9b73ac8847025815b85f7 (Call fasync() functions without the BKL) introduced a race which could leave file->f_flags in a state inconsistent with what the underlying driver/filesystem believes. Revert that change, and also fix the same races in ioctl_fioasync() and ioctl_fionbio(). This is a minimal, short-term fix; the real fix will not involve the BKL.

2008-10-03generic block based fiemap implementationJosef Bacik
Any block based fs (this patch includes ext3) just has to declare its own fiemap() function and then call this generic function with its own get_block_t. This works well for block based filesystems that will map multiple contiguous blocks at one time, but will work for filesystems that only map one block at a time, you will just end up with an "extent" for each block. One gotcha is this will not play nicely where there is hole+data after the EOF. This function will assume its hit the end of the data as soon as it hits a hole after the EOF, so if there is any data past that it will not pick that up. AFAIK no block based fs does this anyway, but its in the comments of the function anyway just in case.

2008-10-08vfs: vfs-level fiemap interfaceMark Fasheh
Basic vfs-level fiemap infrastructure, which sets up a new ->fiemap inode operation. Userspace can get extent information on a file via fiemap ioctl. As input, the fiemap ioctl takes a struct fiemap which includes an array of struct fiemap_extent (fm_extents). Size of the extent array is passed as fm_extent_count and number of extents returned will be written into fm_mapped_extents. Offset and length fields on the fiemap structure (fm_start, fm_length) describe a logical range which will be searched for extents. All extents returned will at least partially contain this range. The actual extent offsets and ranges returned will be unmodified from their offset and range on-disk. The fiemap ioctl returns '0' on success. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set. If errno is equal to EBADR, then fm_flags will contain those flags which were passed in which the kernel did not understand. On all other errors, the contents of fm_extents is undefined. As fiemap evolved, there have been many authors of the vfs patch.

2008-02-07VFS: factor out three helpers for FIBMAP/FIONBIO/FIOASYNC file ioctlsErez Zadok

2008-02-07VFS: swap do_ioctl and vfs_ioctl namesErez Zadok
Rename old vfs_ioctl to do_ioctl, because the comment above it clearly indicates that it is an internal function not to be exported to modules; therefore it should have a more traditional do_XXX name. The new do_ioctl is exported in fs.h but not to modules. Rename the old do_ioctl to vfs_ioctl because the names vfs_XXX should preferably be reserved to callable VFS functions which modules may call, as many other vfs_XXX functions already do. Export the new vfs_ioctl to GPL modules so others can use it (including Unionfs and eCryptfs). Add DocBook for new vfs_ioctl.

2007-07-16drop obsolete sys_ioctl exportChristoph Hellwig
sys_ioctl() was only exported for our first version of compat ioctl handling. Now that the whole compat ioctl handling mess is more or less sorted out there are no more modular users left and we can kill it. There's one exception and that's sparc64's solaris compat module, but sparc64 has it's own export predating the generic one by years for that which this patch leaves untouched.

2007-06-04vanishing ioctl handler debuggingAndrew Morton
We've had several reoprts of the CPU jumping to 0x00000000 is do_ioctl(). I assume that there's a race and someone is zeroing out the ioctl handler while this CPU waits for the lock_kernel(). The patch adds code to detect this, then emits stuff which will hopefuly lead us to the culprit.

2006-12-08[PATCH] VFS: change struct file to use struct pathJosef "Jeff" Sipek
This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}. Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
