From a41f1a4715f26f7bc4d047d0bc7710145c8e69c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Mahoney Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2009 14:02:40 -0400 Subject: reiserfs: use generic readdir for operations across all xattrs The current reiserfs xattr implementation open codes reiserfs_readdir and frees the path before calling the filldir function. Typically, the filldir function is something that modifies the file system, such as a chown or an inode deletion that also require reading of an inode associated with each direntry. Since the file system is modified, the path retained becomes invalid for the next run. In addition, it runs backwards in attempt to minimize activity. This is clearly suboptimal from a code cleanliness perspective as well as performance-wise. This patch implements a generic reiserfs_for_each_xattr that uses the generic readdir and a specific filldir routine that simply populates an array of dentries and then performs a specific operation on them. When all files have been operated on, it then calls the operation on the directory itself. The result is a noticable code reduction and better performance.
