      ->write_super lock_super pushdown · ebc1ac16
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      
      Push down lock_super into ->write_super instances and remove it from the
      caller.
      
      Following filesystem don't need ->s_lock in ->write_super and are skipped:
      
       * bfs, nilfs2 - no other uses of s_lock and have internal locks in
      	->write_super
       * ext2 - uses BKL in ext2_write_super and has internal calls without s_lock
       * reiserfs - no other uses of s_lock as has reiserfs_write_lock (BKL) in
       	->write_super
       * xfs - no other uses of s_lock and uses internal lock (buffer lock on
      	superblock buffer) to serialize ->write_super.  Also xfs_fs_write_super
      	is superflous and will go away in the next merge window

      jffs2: move jffs2_write_super to super.c · 01ba6875
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      
      jffs2_write_super is only called from super.c and doesn't use any
      functionality from fs.c.  So move it over to super.c and make it
      static there.

      push BKL down into ->put_super · 6cfd0148
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      
      Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller.  A couple of
      filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of
      s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
      hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment.  Most
      of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
      Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.
      
      [AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are
      removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super()
      now]

      remove ->write_super call in generic_shutdown_super · 8c85e125
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      
      We just did a full fs writeout using sync_filesystem before, and if
      that's not enough for the filesystem it can perform it's own writeout
      in ->put_super, which many filesystems already do.
      
      Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to
      guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual
      filesystem maintainers.
      
      Exceptions:
      
       - affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of
         affs_put_super so no need to do it twice.
       - xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for
         the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts
         here..

      mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create(). · 20c2df83
      Paul Mundt authored
      Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
      c59def9f
      
       change. They've been
      BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
      either.
      
      This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
      completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
      about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
      or the documentation references).

      slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag · 50953fe9
      Christoph Lameter authored
      
      I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
      SLAB.
      
      I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
      to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
      performed before each freeing of an object.
      
      I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
      before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
      manipulation of the object.
      
      Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
      compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
      handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
      SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
      in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
      use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
      same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).
      
      There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
      clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
      pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.
      
      This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
      unimplemented flags from SLUB.

      In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting
      Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke
      that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright
      assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on
      the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason.
      
      We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception
      licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody
      has the right to license it differently.

      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount · 454e2398
      David Howells authored
      
      Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
      permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
      
      The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
      pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
      which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
      superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
      
      The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
      superblock pointer.
      
      This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
      points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
      such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
      and mnt_sb would be set directly.
      
      The patch also makes the following changes:
      
       (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
           pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
           very little.
      
       (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
           normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
           always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
      
       (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
           dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
      
           This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
           aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
           currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
           and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
           dentries being left unculled.
      
           However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
           implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
           simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
           inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
           with child trees.
      
           [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
      
       (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
           changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

      [JFFS2] Don't pack on-medium structures, because GCC emits crappy code · 3e68fbb5
      David Woodhouse authored
      
      If we use __attribute__((packed)), GCC will _also_ assume that the
      structures aren't sensibly aligned, and it'll emit code to cope with
      that instead of straight word load/save. This can be _very_ suboptimal
      on architectures like ARM.
      
      Ideally, we want an attribute which just tells GCC not to do any
      padding, without the alignment side-effects. In the absense of that,
      we'll just drop the 'packed' attribute and hope that everything stays as
      it was (which to be fair is fairly much what we expect). And add some
      paranoia checks in the initialisation code, which should be optimised
      away completely in the normal case.

      [JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5) · aa98d7cf
      KaiGai Kohei authored
      
      This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and
      SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5).
      
      There are some significant differences from previous version posted
      at last December.
      The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support.
      Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize
      xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype.
      
      In addition, some bugs are fixed.
      - A potential race condition was fixed.
      - Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed.
      - A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed.
      
      The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion
      mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed
      and updated if necessary.
      Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to
      load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.

      [PATCH] cpuset memory spread: slab cache filesystems · 4b6a9316
      Paul Jackson authored
      
      Mark file system inode and similar slab caches subject to SLAB_MEM_SPREAD
      memory spreading.
      
      If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's
      in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate
      from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the
      memory nodes (task->mems_allowed) allowed to that task, instead of favoring
      allocation on the node local to the current cpu.
      
      The following inode and similar caches are marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD:

      The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple.  I marked
      those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
      inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch.  Even
      though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
      potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
      spreading.
      
      Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
      SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
      the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
      Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
      slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.

      [PATCH] vfs: MS_VERBOSE should be MS_SILENT · 9b04c997
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      
      The meaning of MS_VERBOSE is backwards; if the bit is set, it really means,
      "don't be verbose".  This is confusing and counter-intuitive.
      
      In addition, there is also no way to set the MS_VERBOSE flag in the
      mount(8) program in util-linux, but interesting, it does define options
      which would do the right thing if MS_SILENT were defined, which
      unfortunately we do not:
      
      #ifdef MS_SILENT
        { "quiet",    0, 0, MS_SILENT    },   /* be quiet  */
        { "loud",     0, 1, MS_SILENT    },   /* print out messages. */
      #endif
      
      So the obvious fix is to deprecate the use of MS_VERBOSE and replace it
      with MS_SILENT.

      [JFFS2] Fix the slab cache constructor of 'struct jffs2_inode_info' objects. · 21eeb7aa
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      
      JFFS2 initialize f->sem mutex as "locked" in the slab constructor which is a
      bug. Objects are freed with unlocked f->sem mutex. So, when they allocated
      again, f->sem is unlocked because the slab cache constructor is not called for
      them. The constructor is called only once when memory pages are allocated for
      objects (namely, when the slab layer allocates new slabs). So, sometimes
      'struct jffs2_inode_info' are allocated with unlocked f->sem, sometimes with
      locked. This is a bug. Instead, initialize f->sem as unlocked in the
      constructor. I.e., in the "constructed" state f->sem must be unlocked.

      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!
