2006-10-19[PATCH] Add lockless helpers for remove_suid()Jens Axboe
Right now users have to grab i_mutex before calling remove_suid(), in the unlikely event that a call to ->setattr() may be needed. Split up the function in two parts: - One to check if we need to remove suid - One to actually remove it The first we can call lockless. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2006-10-19[PATCH] Introduce generic_file_splice_write_nolock()Mark Fasheh
This allows file systems to manage their own i_mutex locking while still re-using the generic_file_splice_write() logic. OCFS2 in particular wants this so that it can order cluster locks within i_mutex. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2006-10-19[PATCH] Take i_mutex in splice_from_pipe()Mark Fasheh
The splice_actor may be calling ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write(). We want i_mutex on the inode being written to before calling those so that we don't race i_size changes. The double locking behavior is done elsewhere in splice.c, and if we eventually want _nolock variants of generic_file_splice_write(), fs modules might have to replicate the nasty locking code. We introduce inode_double_lock() and inode_double_unlock() to consolidate the locking rules into one set of functions.

2006-10-18aoe: zero copy write 1 of 2Ed L. Cashin
Avoid memory copy on writes. (This patch depends on fixes in patch 9 to follow.) Although skb->len should not be set when working with linear skbuffs, the skb->tail pointer maintained by skb_put/skb_trim is not relevant to what happens when the skb_fill_page_desc function is called. This issue was raised without comment in linux-kernel and netdev earlier this month: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/446474/ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/45444/ So until there is something analogous to skb_put that works for zero-copy write skbuffs, we will do what the other callers of skb_fill_page_desc are doing.

2006-10-18Driver core: Don't ignore error returns from probingAlan Stern
This patch (as797) fixes device_add() in the driver core. It needs to pay attention when the driver for a new device reports an error. At the same time, since bus_remove_device() undoes the effects of both bus_add_device() and bus_attach_device(), it needs to check whether the bus_attach_device step failed.
