2006-01-10[PATCH] remove update_atimeChristoph Hellwig
All callers use touch_atime now which takes a vfsmount and allows us to implement per-mount noatime. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-10[PATCH] switch autofs4 to touch_atime()Christoph Hellwig
After my lookup_hash patch ->d_revalidate always gets a valid struct nameidata passed (unless you use lookup_one_len which autofs4 doesn't), so we can switch it from update_atime to touch_atime. This is a bit of an academic excercise because autofs has a 1:1 vfsmount superblock relation, but I want to get rid of update_atime so filesystems authors can't easily screw up per-mountpoint noatime support.

2006-01-10[PATCH] replace inode_update_time with file_update_timeChristoph Hellwig
To allow various options to work per-mount instead of per-sb we need a struct vfsmount when updating ctime and mtime. This preparation patch replaces the inode_update_time routine with a file_update_atime routine so we can easily get at the vfsmount. (and the file makes more sense in this context anyway). Also get rid of the unused second argument - we always want to update the ctime when calling this routine.

2006-01-10[PATCH] move xattr permission checks into the VFSakpm@osdl.org
) From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> The xattr code has rather complex permission checks because the rules are very different for different attribute namespaces. This patch moves as much as we can into the generic code. Currently all the major disk based filesystems duplicate these checks, while many minor filesystems or network filesystems lack some or all of them. To do this we need defines for the extended attribute names in common code, I moved them up from JFS which had the nicest defintions.

Could you investigate whether it could use vfs_getxattr or if not add a __vfs_getxattr helper to share the bits it is fine with?) For NFSv4: instead of just converting it add an nfsd_getxattr helper for the code shared by NFSv2/3 and NFSv4 ACLs. In fact that code isn't even NFS-specific, but I'll wait for more users to pop up first before moving it to common code.

2006-01-10[PATCH] kexec: change CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START dependencyManeesh Soni
I have heard some complaints about people not finding CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option and also some objections about its dependency on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The following patch ends that dependency. I thought of hiding it under CONFIG_KEXEC, but CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START could also be used for some reasons other than kexec/kdump and hence left it visible. I will also update the documentation accordingly. o Following patch removes the config dependency of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The reason being CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option for kdump needs CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START which makes CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. It is not always obvious for kdump users to choose CONFIG_EMBEDDED. o It also shifts the palce where this option appears, to make it closer to kexec and kdump options.

2006-01-09V4L (926_2): Moves compat32 functions from fs to v4l subsystemArnd Bergmann
This moves the 32 bit ioctl compatibility handlers for Video4Linux into a new file and adds explicit calls to them to each v4l device driver. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any code handling the v4l2 ioctls, so quite often the code goes through two separate conversions, first from 32 bit v4l to 64 bit v4l, and from there to 64 bit v4l2. My patch does not change that, so there is still much room for improvement. Also, some drivers have additional ioctl numbers, for which the conversion should be handled internally to that driver.

mmap() returns -EINVAL if given a zero length, and thus elf_map() in binfmt_elf.c does likewise if it attempts to map a (page-aligned) ELF segment with zero filesize.

2006-01-08[PATCH] shrink dentry structEric Dumazet
Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple of memory cache lines. Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning (128 + 8 = 136 bytes) This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u), where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their memory needs. At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing. Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints) As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.
