2009-01-19xfs: fix dentry aliasing issues in open_by_handleChristoph Hellwig
Open by handle just grabs an inode by handle and then creates itself a dentry for it. While this works for regular files it is horribly broken for directories, where the VFS locking relies on the fact that there is only just one single dentry for a given inode, and that these are always connected to the root of the filesystem so that it's locking algorithms work (see Documentations/filesystems/Locking) Remove all the existing open by handle code and replace it with a small wrapper around the exportfs code which deals with all these issues. At the same time we also make the checks for a valid handle strict enough to reject all not perfectly well formed handles - given that we never hand out others that's okay and simplifies the code.

2008-12-11[XFS] add a FMODE flag to make XFS invisible I/O less hackyChristoph Hellwig
XFS has a mode called invisble I/O that doesn't update any of the timestamps. It's used for HSM-style applications and exposed through the nasty open by handle ioctl. Instead of doing directly assignment of file operations that set an internal flag for it add a new FMODE_NOCMTIME flag that we can check in the normal file operations. (addition of the generic VFS flag has been ACKed by Al as an interims solution) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Lachlan McIlroy <lachlan@sgi.com>

2008-12-04[XFS] fix compile on 32 bit systemsChristoph Hellwig
The recent compat patches make xfs_file.c include xfs_ioctl32.h unconditional, which breaks the build on 32 bit systems which don't have the various compat defintions. Remove the include and move the defintion of xfs_file_compat_ioctl to xfs_ioctl.h so that we can avoid including all the compat defintions in xfs_file.c Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Tested-by: Kamalesh Babulal <kamalesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Lachlan McIlroy <lachlan@sgi.com>

2008-12-02[XFS] Clean up some existing compat ioctl callssandeen@sandeen.net
Create a new xfs_ioctl.h file which has prototypes for ioctl helpers that may be called in compat mode. Change several compat ioctl cases which are IOW to simply copy in the userspace argument, then call the common ioctl helper. This also fixes xfs_compat_ioc_fsgeometry_v1(), which had it backwards before; it copied in an (empty) arg, then copied out the native result, which probably corrupted userspace. It should be translating on the copyout. Also, a bit of formatting cleanup for consistency, and conversion of all error returns to use XFS_ERROR().
