2006-10-18sysfs: remove duplicated dput in sysfs_update_fileHidetoshi Seto
Following function can drops d_count twice against one reference by lookup_one_len. <SOURCE> /** * sysfs_update_file - update the modified timestamp on an object attribute. * @kobj: object we're acting for. * @attr: attribute descriptor. */ int sysfs_update_file(struct kobject * kobj, const struct attribute * attr) { struct dentry * dir = kobj->dentry; struct dentry * victim; int res = -ENOENT; mutex_lock(&dir->d_inode->i_mutex); victim = lookup_one_len(attr->name, dir, strlen(attr->name)); if (!IS_ERR(victim)) { /* make sure dentry is really there */ if (victim->d_inode && (victim->d_parent->d_inode == dir->d_inode)) { victim->d_inode->i_mtime = CURRENT_TIME; fsnotify_modify(victim); /** * Drop reference from initial sysfs_get_dentry(). */ dput(victim); res = 0; } else d_drop(victim); /** * Drop the reference acquired from sysfs_get_dentry() above. */ dput(victim); } mutex_unlock(&dir->d_inode->i_mutex); return res; } </SOURCE> PCI-hotplug (drivers/pci/hotplug/pci_hotplug_core.c) is only user of this function. I confirmed that dentry of /sys/bus/pci/slots/XXX/* have negative d_count value. This patch removes unnecessary dput().

2006-04-14[PATCH] sysfs: Allow sysfs attribute files to be pollableNeilBrown
It works like this: Open the file Read all the contents. Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works) When poll returns, close the file and go to top of loop. or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'. Events are signaled by an object manager calling sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr); If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group). This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject, one int per open file. The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs attributes as well? This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action to be pollable Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-04-02[PATCH] sysfs: zero terminate sysfs write buffersGreg Kroah-Hartman
No one should be writing a PAGE_SIZE worth of data to a normal sysfs file, so properly terminate the buffer. Thanks to Al Viro for pointing out my supidity here. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-28[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ constArjan van de Ven
This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-01-09[PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_semJes Sorensen
This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your luck with it might be different.

2005-07-12[PATCH] inotifyRobert Love
inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly its inability to scale and its terrible user interface: * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount. * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of stat structures. * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals? inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change notification: * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO. You get a single fd, which is select()-able. * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item you were watching is on was unmounted." * inotify can watch directories or files. Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure), Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects. See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.

2005-06-23[PATCH] remove duplicate get_dentry functions in various placesChristoph Hellwig
Various filesystem drivers have grown a get_dentry() function that's a duplicate of lookup_one_len, except that it doesn't take a maximum length argument and doesn't check for \0 or / in the passed in filename. Switch all these places to use lookup_one_len.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
