vfs: export full_name_hash() function to modules

2012-03-03T03:40:57+00:00

Commit 5707c87f "vfs: uninline full_name_hash()" broke the modular build, because it needs exporting now that it isn't inlined any more. Reported-by: Tetsuo Handa Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vfs: split up name hashing in link_path_walk() into helper function

2012-03-02T22:49:24+00:00

The code in link_path_walk() that finds out the length and the hash of the next path component is some of the hottest code in the kernel. And I have a version of it that does things at the full width of the CPU wordsize at a time, but that means that we *really* want to split it up into a separate helper function. So this re-organizes the code a bit and splits the hashing part into a helper function called "hash_name()". It returns the length of the pathname component, while at the same time computing and writing the hash to the appropriate location. The code generation is slightly changed by this patch, but generally for the better - and the added abstraction actually makes the code easier to read too. And the new interface is well suited for replacing just the "hash_name()" function with alternative implementations. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vfs: uninline full_name_hash()

2012-03-02T22:32:59+00:00

.. and also use it in lookup_one_len() rather than open-coding it. There aren't any performance-critical users, so inlining it is silly. But it wouldn't matter if it wasn't for the fact that the word-at-a-time dentry name patches want to conditionally replace the function, and uninlining it sets the stage for that. So again, this is a preparatory patch that doesn't change any semantics, and only prepares for a much cleaner and testable word-at-a-time dentry name accessor patch. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vfs: trivial __d_lookup_rcu() cleanups

2012-03-02T22:23:30+00:00

These don't change any semantics, but they clean up the code a bit and mark some arguments appropriately 'const'. They came up as I was doing the word-at-a-time dcache name accessor code, and cleaning this up now allows me to send out a smaller relevant interesting patch for the experimental stuff.

regset: Prevent null pointer reference on readonly regsets

2012-03-02T19:38:15+00:00

The regset common infrastructure assumed that regsets would always have .get and .set methods, but not necessarily .active methods. Unfortunately people have since written regsets without .set methods. Rather than putting in stub functions everywhere, handle regsets with null .get or .set methods explicitly. Signed-off-by: H.

ecryptfs: fix printk format warning for size_t

2012-02-29T00:55:30+00:00

Fix printk format warning (from Linus's suggestion): on i386: fs/ecryptfs/miscdev.c:433:38: warning: format '%lu' expects type 'long unsigned int', but argument 4 has type 'unsigned int' and on x86_64: fs/ecryptfs/miscdev.c:433:38: warning: format '%u' expects type 'unsigned int', but argument 4 has type 'long unsigned int' Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven Cc: Tyler Hicks Cc: Dustin Kirkland Cc: ecryptfs@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

GFS2: Read resource groups on mount

2012-02-28T09:52:39+00:00

This makes mount take slightly longer, but at the same time, the first write to the filesystem will be faster too. It also means that if there is a problem in the resource index, then we can refuse to mount rather than having to try and report that when the first write occurs. In addition, to avoid recursive locking, we hvae to take account of instances when the rindex glock may already be held when we are trying to update the rbtree of resource groups.

GFS2: Ensure rindex is uptodate for fallocate

2012-02-28T09:48:30+00:00

This patch fixes a problem whereby gfs2_grow was failing and causing GFS2 to assert. The problem was that when GFS2's fallocate operation tried to acquire an "allocation" it made sure the rindex was up to date, and if not, it called gfs2_rindex_update. However, if the file being fallocated was the rindex itself, it was already locked at that point. By calling gfs2_rindex_update at an earlier point in time, we bring rindex up to date and thereby avoid trying to lock it when the "allocation" is acquired.

GFS2: Read in rindex if necessary during unlink

2012-02-28T09:48:02+00:00

This patch fixes a problem whereby you were unable to delete files until other file system operations were done (such as statfs, touch, writes, etc.) that caused the rindex to be read in. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: Fix race between lru_list and glock ref count

2012-02-28T09:43:07+00:00

This patch fixes a narrow race window between the glock ref count hitting zero and glocks being removed from the lru_list. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse
