2005-05-01[PATCH] ext3: remove unnecessary race then retry in ext3_get_blockMingming Cao
The extra race-with-truncate-then-retry logic around ext3_get_block_handle(), which was inherited from ext2, becomes unecessary for ext3, since we have already obtained the ei->truncate_sem in ext3_get_block_handle() before calling ext3_alloc_branch(). The ei->truncate_sem is already there to block concurrent truncate and block allocation on the same inode. So the inode's indirect addressing tree won't be changed after we grab that semaphore. We could, after get the semaphore, re-verify the branch is up-to-date or not. If it has been changed, then get the updated branch. If we still need block allocation, we will have a safe version of the branch to work with in the ext3_find_goal()/ext3_splice_branch(). The code becomes more readable after remove those retry logic. The patch also clean up some gotos in ext3_get_block_handle() to make it more readable.

2005-05-01[PATCH] reiserfs endianness: comp_short_keys() cleanupAl Viro
comp_short_keys() massaged into sane form, which kills the last place where pointer to in_core_key (or any object containing such) would be cast to or from something else. At that point we are free to change layout of in_core_key - nothing depends on it anymore. So we drop the mess with union in there and simply use (unconditional) __u64 k_offset and __u8 k_type instead; places using in_core_key switched to those. That gives _far_ better code than current mess - on all platforms.

2005-05-01[PATCH] reiserfs endianness: clone struct reiserfs_keyAl Viro
struct reiserfs_key cloned; (currently) identical struct in_core_key added. Places that expect host-endian data in reiserfs_key switched to in_core_key. Basically, we get annotation of reiserfs_key users and keep the resulting tree obviously equivalent to original.

2005-05-01[PATCH] autofs4: tree race fixIan Kent
For tree mount maps, a call to chdir or chroot, to a directory above the moint point directories at a certain time during the expire results in the expire incorrectly thinking the tree is not busy. This patch adds a check to see if the filesystem above the tree mount points is busy and also locks the filesystem during the tree mount expire to prevent the race.

2005-05-01[PATCH] aio: optimize io_submit_one()Ken Chen
This patch optimizes io_submit_one to call aio_run_iocb() directly if ctx->run_list is empty. When the list is empty, the operation of adding to the list, then call to __aio_run_iocbs() is unnecessary because these operations are done in one atomic step. ctx->run_list always has only one element in this case. This optimization speeds up industry standard db transaction processing benchmark by 0.2%.

2005-05-01[PATCH] aio: remove superfluous kiocb member initializationKen Chen
This patch removes superfluous kiocb member initialization in the AIO allocation and deallocation path. For example, in really_put_req(), right before kiocb is returned to slab, 5 variables are reset to NULL. The same variables will be initialized at the kiocb allocation time, so why bother reset them knowing that they will be set to valid data at alloc time? Another example: ki_retry is initialized in __aio_get_req, but is initialized again in io_submit_one.

2005-05-01[PATCH] reiserfs: make resize option auto-get new device sizePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
It's trivial for the resize option to auto-get the underlying device size, while it's harder for the user. I've copied the code from jfs. Since of the different reiserfs option parser (which does not use the superior match_token used by almost every other filesystem), I've had to use the "resize=auto" and not "resize" option to specify this behaviour. Changing the option parser to the kernel one wouldn't be bad but I've no time to do this cleanup in this moment. Btw, the mount(8) man page should be updated to include this option.

2005-05-01[PATCH] procfs: Fix hardlink counts for /proc/<PID>/taskDaniel Drake
The current logic assumes that a /proc/<PID>/task directory should have a hardlink count of 3, probably counting ".", "..", and a directory for a single child task. It's fairly obvious that this doesn't work out correctly when a PID has more than one child task, which is quite often the case.

2005-05-01[PATCH] procfs: Fix hardlink countsDaniel Drake
The pid directories in /proc/ currently return the wrong hardlink count - 3, when there are actually 4 : ".", "..", "fd", and "task". This is easy to notice using find(1): cd /proc/<pid> find In the output, you'll see a message similar to: find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for .: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86031 I also noticed that CONFIG_SECURITY can add a 5th: attr, and performed a similar fix on the task directories too.

2005-05-01[PATCH] uml - hostfs: avoid buffersPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Use this: .set_page_dirty = __set_page_dirty_nobuffers, We already dropped the inclusion of <linux/buffer_head.h>, and we don't have a backing block device for this FS. "Without having looked at it, I'm sure that hostfs does not use buffer_heads. So setting your ->set_page_dirty a_op to point at __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() is a reasonable thing to do - it'll provide a slight speedup." This speedup is one less spinlock held and one less conditional branch, which isn't bad.

Attached is a new patch that solves the issue of getting valid credentials into the LOGIN message. The current code was assuming that the audit context had already been copied.

2005-04-29namei: add audit_inode to all branches in path_lookupPrasanna Meda
Main change is in path_lookup: added a goto to do audit_inode instead of return statement, when emul_lookup_dentry for root is successful.The existing code does audit_inode only when lookup is done in normal root or cwd. Other changes: Some lookup routines are returning zero on success, and some are returning zero on failure.
