2007-10-12sysfs: Use kill_anon_superEric W. Biederman
Since sysfs no longer stores fs directory information in the dcache on a permanent basis kill_litter_super it is inappropriate and actively wrong. It will decrement the count on all dentries left in the dcache before trying to free them. At the moment this is not biting us only because we never unmount sysfs. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-12sysfs: make sysfs_add/remove_one() call link/unlink_sibling() implictlyTejun Heo
When adding or removing a sysfs_dirent, the user used to be required to call link/unlink separately. It was for two reasons - code looked like that before sysfs_addrm_cxt conversion and to avoid looping through parent_sd->children list twice during removal. Performance optimization during removal just isn't worth it. Make sysfs_add/remove_one() call sysfs_link/unlink_sibing() implicitly. This makes code simpler albeit slightly less efficient.

2007-10-12sysfs: Remove first pass at shadow directory supportEric W. Biederman
While shadow directories appear to be a good idea, the current scheme of controlling their creation and destruction outside of sysfs appears to be a locking and maintenance nightmare in the face of sysfs directories dynamically coming and going. Which can now occur for directories containing network devices when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set. This patch removes everything from the initial shadow directory support that allowed the shadow directory creation to be controlled at a higher level. So except for a few bits of sysfs_rename_dir everything from commit b592fcfe7f06c15ec11774b5be7ce0de3aa86e73 is now gone. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-12ocfs2: Optionally return filldir errorsMark Fasheh
Modify ocfs2_dir_foreach_blk() to optionally return any error from the filldir callback. This way ocfs2_dirforeach() can terminate early, as opposed to always passing through the entire directory.

2007-10-12ocfs2: Write support for directories with inline dataMark Fasheh
Create all new directories with OCFS2_INLINE_DATA_FL and the inline data bytes formatted as an empty directory. Inode size field reflects the actual amount of inline data available, which makes searching for dirent space very similar to the regular directory search.

This fixes up write, truncate, mmap, and RESVSP/UNRESVP to understand inline inode data. For the most part, the changes to the core write code can be relied on to do the heavy lifting. Any code calling ocfs2_write_begin (including shared writeable mmap) can count on it doing the right thing with respect to growing inline data to an extent tree. Size reducing truncates, including UNRESVP can simply zero that portion of the inode block being removed. Size increasing truncatesm, including RESVP have to be a little bit smarter and grow the inode to an extent tree if necessary.

2007-10-12ocfs2: Small refactor of truncate zeroing codeMark Fasheh
We'll want to reuse most of this when pushing inline data back out to an extent. Keeping this part as a seperate patch helps to keep the upcoming changes for write support uncluttered. The core portion of ocfs2_zero_cluster_pages() responsible for making sure a page is mapped and properly dirtied is abstracted out into it's own function, ocfs2_map_and_dirty_page(). Actual functionality doesn't change, though zeroing becomes optional. We also turn part of ocfs2_free_write_ctxt() into a common function for unlocking and freeing a page array. This operation is very common (and uniform) for Ocfs2 cluster sizes greater than page size, so it makes sense to keep the code in one place.

2007-10-12NTFS: Fix a mount time deadlock.Anton Altaparmakov
Big thanks go to Mathias Kolehmainen for reporting the bug, providing debug output and testing the patches I sent him to get it working. The fix was to stop calling ntfs_attr_set() at mount time as that causes balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to be called which on systems with little memory actually tries to go and balance the dirty pages which tries to take the s_umount semaphore but because we are still in fill_super() across which the VFS holds s_umount for writing this results in a deadlock. We now do the dirty work by hand by submitting individual buffers. This has the annoying "feature" that mounting can take a few seconds if the journal is large as we have clear it all. One day someone should improve on this by deferring the journal clearing to a helper kernel thread so it can be done in the background but I don't have time for this at the moment and the current solution works fine so I am leaving it like this for now.

2007-10-10[NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchroniousDenis V. Lunev
This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious. This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced asynchronious user -> kernel communication. The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the user. Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing may occur in the arbitrary process context. This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet processing right in the netlink_unicast. Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched. EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Acked-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-10-10[NETNS]: Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=nPavel Emelyanov
With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section, thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before. Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot. Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes" for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS is not set to save more space in memory. The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section, as noticed by David, since the init section will have references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already done with the __init_refok.
