2012-07-22hfs: push lock_super downArtem Bityutskiy3-6/+2
HFS uses 'lock_super()'/'unlock_super()' around 'hfs_mdb_commit()' in order to serialize MDB (Master Directory Block) changes. Push it down to 'hfs_mdb_commit()' in order to simplify the code a bit.

2012-07-22hfsplus: get rid of write_superArtem Bityutskiy5-16/+43
This patch makes hfsplus stop using the VFS '->write_super()' method along with the 's_dirt' superblock flag, because they are on their way out. The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and writes out all dirty superblocks using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every 5 seconds, even if there are no diry superblocks, or there are no client file-systems which would need this (e.g., btrfs does not use '->write_super()'). So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make file-systems to stop using the '->write_super()' VFS service, and then remove it together with the kernel thread. Tested using fsstress from the LTP project. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-07-22hfsplus: remove useless checkArtem Bityutskiy1-3/+0
This check is useless because we always have 'sb->s_fs_info' to be non-NULL. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-07-22get rid of ->scm_work_listAl Viro3-21/+3
recursion in __scm_destroy() will be cut by delaying final fput() Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-07-22aio: now fput() is OK from interrupt context; get rid of manual delayed __fput()Al Viro1-70/+3
Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-07-22switch fput to task_work_addAl Viro3-3/+75
... and schedule_work() for interrupt/kernel_thread callers (and yes, now it *is* OK to call from interrupt). We are guaranteed that __fput() will be done before we return to userland (or exit). Note that for fput() from a kernel thread we get an async behaviour; it's almost always OK, but sometimes you might need to have __fput() completed before you do anything else. There are two mechanisms for that - a general barrier (flush_delayed_fput()) and explicit __fput_sync(). Both should be used with care (as was the case for fput() from kernel threads all along). See comments in fs/file_table.c for details. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-07-22deal with task_work callbacks adding more workAl Viro1-12/+14
It doesn't matter on normal return to userland path (we'll recheck the NOTIFY_RESUME flag anyway), but in case of exit_task_work() we'll need that as soon as we get callbacks capable of triggering more task_work_add(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-07-22merge task_work and rcu_head, get rid of separate allocation for keyring caseAl Viro8-52/+31
task_work and rcu_head are identical now; merge them (calling the result struct callback_head, rcu_head #define'd to it), kill separate allocation in security/keys since we can just use cred->rcu now. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-07-22trim task_work: get rid of hlistAl Viro5-36/+38
layout based on Oleg's suggestion; single-linked list, task->task_works points to the last element, forward pointer from said last element points to head. I'd still prefer much more regular scheme with two pointers in task_work, but... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-07-22trimming task_work: kill ->dataAl Viro5-12/+17
get rid of the only user of ->data; this is _not_ the final variant - in the end we'll have task_work and rcu_head identical and just use cred->rcu, at which point the separate allocation will be gone completely. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-07-14VFS: Split inode_permission()David Howells2-17/+54
Split inode_permission() into inode- and superblock-dependent parts. This is aimed at unionmounts where the superblock from the upper layer has to be checked rather than the superblock from the lower layer as the upper layer may be writable, thus allowing an unwritable file from the lower layer to be copied up and modified.

Pass mount flags to sget() so that it can use them in initialising a new superblock before the set function is called. They could also be passed to the compare function. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-07-14VFS: Make clone_mnt()/copy_tree()/collect_mounts() return errorsDavid Howells3-62/+73
copy_tree() can theoretically fail in a case other than ENOMEM, but always returns NULL which is interpreted by callers as -ENOMEM. Change it to return an explicit error. Also change clone_mnt() for consistency and because union mounts will add new error cases. Thanks to Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> for a bug fix.

2012-07-14fs: add nd_jump_linkChristoph Hellwig3-12/+20
Add a helper that abstracts out the jump to an already parsed struct path from ->follow_link operation from procfs. Not only does this clean up the code by moving the two sides of this game into a single helper, but it also prepares for making struct nameidata private to namei.c Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-07-14fs: move path_put on failure out of ->follow_linkChristoph Hellwig2-6/+9
Currently the non-nd_set_link based versions of ->follow_link are expected to do a path_put(&nd->path) on failure. This calling convention is unexpected, undocumented and doesn't match what the nd_set_link-based instances do. Move the path_put out of the only non-nd_set_link based ->follow_link instance into the caller. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-07-14sysfs: switch to ->s_d_op and ->d_release()Al Viro3-10/+8
a) ->d_iput() is wrong here - what we do to inode is completely usual, it's dentry->d_fsdata that we want to drop. Just use ->d_release(). b) switch to ->s_d_op - no need to play with d_set_d_op() Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-07-14get rid of kern_path_parent()Al Viro4-82/+65
all callers want the same thing, actually - a kinda-sorta analog of kern_path_create(). I.e. they want parent vfsmount/dentry (with ->i_mutex held, to make sure the child dentry is still their child) + the child dentry. Signed-off-by Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-07-14VFS: Fix the banner comment on lookup_open()David Howells1-3/+26
Since commit 197e37d9, the banner comment on lookup_open() no longer matches what the function returns. It used to return a struct file pointer or NULL and now it returns an integer and is passed the struct file pointer it is to use amongst its arguments. Update the comment to reflect this. Also add a banner comment to atomic_open(). Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-07-14stop passing nameidata to ->lookup()Al Viro79-114/+115
Just the flags; only NFS cares even about that, but there are legitimate uses for such argument. And getting rid of that completely would require splitting ->lookup() into a couple of methods (at least), so let's leave that alone for now... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
