2009-01-05ocfs2/xattr: Only set buffer update if it doesn't exist in cache.Tao Ma
When we call ocfs2_init_xattr_bucket, we deem that the new buffer head will be written to disk immediately, so we just use sb_getblk. But in some cases the buffer may have already been in ocfs2 uptodate cache, so we only call ocfs2_set_buffer_uptodate if the buffer head isn't in the cache.

2009-01-05ocfs2/xattr: Remove additional bucket allocation in bucket defragment.Tao Ma
Joel has refactored xattr bucket and make xattr bucket a general wrapper. So in ocfs2_defrag_xattr_bucket, we have already passed the bucket in, so there is no need to allocate a new one and read it.

Use the ocfs2_xattr_bucket abstraction in ocfs2_xattr_create_index_block() and its helpers. We get more efficient reads, a lot less buffer_head munging, and nicer code to boot.

2009-01-05ocfs2: Take ocfs2_xattr_bucket structures off of the stack.Joel Becker
The ocfs2_xattr_bucket structure is a nice abstraction, but it is a bit large to have on the stack. Just like ocfs2_path, let's allocate it with a ocfs2_xattr_bucket_new() function. We can now store the inode on the bucket, cleaning up all the other bucket functions. While we're here, we catch another place or two that wasn't using ocfs2_read_xattr_bucket(). Updates: - No longer allocating xis.bucket, as it will never be used. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

2009-01-05ocfs2: Wrap journal_access/journal_dirty for xattr buckets.Joel Becker
A common action is to call ocfs2_journal_access() and ocfs2_journal_dirty() on the buffer heads of an xattr bucket. Let's create nice wrappers. While we're there, let's drop the places that try to be smart by writing only the first and last blocks of a bucket. A bucket is contiguous, so writing the whole thing is actually more efficient.

2009-01-05ocfs2: Improve ocfs2_read_xattr_bucket().Joel Becker
The ocfs2_read_xattr_bucket() function would read an xattr bucket into a list of buffer heads. However, we have a nice ocfs2_xattr_bucket structure. Let's have it fill that out instead. In addition, ocfs2_read_xattr_bucket() would initialize buffer heads for a bucket that's never been on disk before. That's confusing. Let's call that functionality ocfs2_init_xattr_bucket(). The functions ocfs2_cp_xattr_bucket() and ocfs2_half_xattr_bucket() are updated to use the ocfs2_xattr_bucket structure rather than raw bh lists. That way they can use the new read/init calls. In addition, they drop the wasted read of an existing target bucket. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

2009-01-04fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

2009-01-02Enable multiple instances of devptsSukadev Bhattiprolu
To support containers, allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem, such that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of ptys allocated in other instances of devpts. But to preserve backward compatibility, enable this support for multiple instances only if: - CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is set to Y, and - '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts To use multi-instance mount, a container startup script could: $ ns_exec -cm /bin/bash $ umount /dev/pts $ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts $ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx $ /usr/sbin/sshd -p 1234 where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' is calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs /bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in the original mount of /dev/pts. USER-SPACE-IMPACT: - See Documentation/fs/devpts.txt (included in next patch) for user- space impact in multi-instance and mixed-mode operation. TODO: - Update mount(8), pts(4) man pages. Highlight impact of not redirecting /dev/ptmx to /dev/pts/ptmx after a multi-instance mount. Changelog[v6]: - [Dave Hansen] Use new get_init_pts_sb() interface - [Serge Hallyn] Don't bother displaying 'newinstance' in show_options - [Serge Hallyn] Use macros (PARSE_REMOUNT/PARSE_MOUNT) instead of 0/1. - [Serge Hallyn] Check error return from get_sb_single() (now get_init_pts_sb()) - devpts_pty_kill(): don't dput error dentries Changelog[v5]: - Move get_sb_ref() definition to earlier patch - Move usage info to Documentation/filesystems/devpts.txt (next patch) - Make ptmx node even in init_pts_ns, now that default mode is 0000 (defined in earlier patch, enabled here). - Cache ptmx dentry and use to update mode during remount (defined in earlier patch, enabled here). - Bugfix: explicitly ignore newinstance on remount (if newinstance was specified on remount of initial mount, it would be ignored but /proc/mounts would imply that the option was set) Changelog[v4]: - Update patch description to address H. Peter Anvin's comments - Consolidate multi-instance mode code under new config token, CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCE. - Move usage-details from patch description to Documentation/fs/devpts.txt Changelog[v3]: - Rename new mount option to 'newinstance' - Create ptmx nodes only in 'newinstance' mounts - Bugfix: parse_mount_options() modifies @data but since we need to parse the @data twice (once in devpts_get_sb() and once during do_remount_sb()), parse a local copy of @data in devpts_get_sb().

2009-01-02Define mknod_ptmx()Sukadev Bhattiprolu
/dev/ptmx is closely tied to the devpts filesystem. An open of /dev/ptmx, allocates the next pty index and the associated device shows up in the devpts fs as /dev/pts/n. Wih multiple instancs of devpts filesystem, during an open of /dev/ptmx we would be unable to determine which instance of the devpts is being accessed. So we move the 'ptmx' node into /dev/pts and use the inode of the 'ptmx' node to identify the superblock and hence the devpts instance. This patch adds ability for the kernel to internally create the [ptmx, c, 5:2] device when mounting devpts filesystem. Since the ptmx node in devpts is new and may surprise some userspace scripts, the default permissions for the new node is 0000. These permissions can be changed either using chmod or by remounting with the new '-o ptmxmode=0666' mount option. Changelog[v5]: - [Serge Hallyn bugfix]: Letting new_inode() assign inode number to ptmx can collide with hand-assigning inode numbers to ptys. So, hand-assign specific inode number to ptmx node also. - [Serge Hallyn]: Maybe safer to grab root dentry mutex while creating ptmx node - [Bugfix with Serge Hallyn] Replace lookup_one_len() in mknod_ptmx() wih d_alloc_name() (lookup during ->get_sb() locks up system). To simplify patchset, fold the ptmx_dentry patch into this. Changelog[v4]: - Change default permissions of pts/ptmx node to 0000. - Move code for ptmxmode under #ifdef CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES. Changelog[v3]: - Rename ptmx_mode to ptmxmode (for consistency with 'newinstance') Changelog[v2]: - [H. Peter Anvin] Remove mknod() system call support and create the ptmx node internally. Changelog[v1]: - Earlier version of this patch enabled creating /dev/pts/tty as well. As pointed out by Al Viro and H. Peter Anvin, that is not really necessary.

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.

2008-12-31fs/block_dev.c: __read_mostly improvement and sb_is_blkdev_sb utilizationDenis ChengRq
- 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.

2008-12-31kill ->dir_notify()Al Viro
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.

2008-12-31filp_cachep can be static in fs/file_table.cEric Dumazet
Instead of creating the "filp" kmem_cache in vfs_caches_init(), we can do it a litle be later in files_init(), so that filp_cachep is static to fs/file_table.c Acked-by: Paul E.

2008-12-31make INIT_FS use the __RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED initializationSteven Rostedt
[AV: rediffed on top of unification of init_fs] Initialization of init_fs still uses the deprecated RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED macro. This patch updates it to use the __RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED(lock) macro. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2008-12-31kill vfs_permissionChristoph Hellwig
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. Also add proper kerneldoc to inode_permission as this is the main permission check routine now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
