2008-03-27[PATCH] do shrink_submounts() for all fs typesAl Viro
... and take it out of ->umount_begin() instances. Call with all locks already taken (by do_umount()) and leave calling release_mounts() to caller (it will do release_mounts() anyway, so we can just put into the same list). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-03-27[PATCH] count ghost references to vfsmountsAl Viro
make propagate_mount_busy() exclude references from the vfsmounts that had been isolated by umount_tree() and are just waiting for release_mounts() to dispose of their ->mnt_parent/->mnt_mountpoint. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2007-02-11[PATCH] struct vfsmount: keep mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark away from mnt_flagsEric Dumazet
I noticed cache misses in touch_atime() that can be avoided if we keep mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark in a different cache line than mnt_flags (mostly read) mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark are modified each time a file is opened/closed in a file system. touch_atime() is called each time a file is read, and generally needs to read mnt_flags. Other fields of struct vfsmount are mostly read so I chose to move mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark at the end of struct vfsmount. And adding a comment so that nobody tries to re-arrange fields to fill the holes :) On 64bits platforms, the new offsetof(mnt_count) is 0xC0 On 32bits platforms, it is 0x60, so I didnot add a ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp because it would have a too big impact on the size of this object (in particular if CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT=7) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2006-12-13[PATCH] relative atimeValerie Henson
Add "relatime" (relative atime) support. Relative atime only updates the atime if the previous atime is older than the mtime or ctime. Like noatime, but useful for applications like mutt that need to know when a file has been read since it was last modified.

2006-06-23[PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentryDavid Howells
Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock pointer. This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits the root in the vfsmount to be used instead. linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build successfully. Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

2006-06-09VFS: Add shrink_submounts()Trond Myklebust
Allow a submount to be marked as being 'shrinkable' by means of the vfsmount->mnt_flags, and then add a function 'shrink_submounts()' which attempts to recursively unmount these submounts. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-06-09VFS: Add GPL_EXPORTED function vfs_kern_mount()Trond Myklebust
do_kern_mount() does not allow the kernel to use private mount interfaces without exposing the same interfaces to userland. The problem is that the filesystem is referenced by name, thus meaning that it and its mount interface must be registered in the global filesystem list. vfs_kern_mount() passes the struct file_system_type as an explicit parameter in order to overcome this limitation.

2006-01-10[PATCH] per-mountpoint noatime/nodiratimeChristoph Hellwig
Turn noatime and nodiratime into per-mount instead of per-sb flags. After all the preparations this is a rather trivial patch. The mount code needs to treat the two options as per-mount instead of per-superblock, and touch_atime needs to be changed to check the new MNT_ flags in addition to the MS_ flags that are kept for filesystems that are always noatime/nodiratime but not user settable anymore. Besides that core code only nfs needed an update because it's leaving atime updates to the server and thus sets the S_NOATIME flag on every inode, but needs to know whether it's a real noatime mount for an getattr optimization. While we're at it I've killed the IS_NOATIME/IS_NODIRATIME macros that were only used by touch_atime.

2005-11-07[PATCH] unbindable mountsRam Pai
An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation. Also unbindable mount disallows bind mounts. The semantics is as follows. Bind semantics: It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount. Move semantics: It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount. Clone-namespace semantics: If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too. Note: there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted but can be cloned during clone-namespace.

2005-11-07[PATCH] introduce slave mountsRam Pai

2005-11-07[PATCH] introduce shared mountsRam Pai
This creates shared mounts. A shared mount when bind-mounted to some mountpoint, propagates mount/umount events to each other. All the shared mounts that propagate events to each other belong to the same peer-group.

2005-11-07[PATCH] saner handling of auto_acct_off() and DQUOT_OFF() in umountAl Viro
The way we currently deal with quota and process accounting that might keep vfsmount busy at umount time is inherently broken; we try to turn them off just in case (not quite correctly, at that) and a) pray umount doesn't fail (otherwise they'll stay turned off) b) pray nobody doesn anything funny just as we turn quota off Moreover, LSM provides hooks for doing the same sort of broken logics. The proper way to deal with that is to introduce the second kind of reference to vfsmount. Semantics: - when the last normal reference is dropped, all special ones are converted to normal ones and if there had been any, cleanup is done. - normal reference can be cloned into a special one - special reference can be converted to normal one; that's a no-op if we'd already passed the point of no return (i.e. mntput() had converted special references to normal and started cleanup). The way it works: e.g. starting process accounting converts the vfsmount reference pinned by the opened file into special one and turns it back to normal when it gets shut down; acct_auto_close() is done when no normal references are left. That way it does *not* obstruct umount(2) and it silently gets turned off when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone. Which is exactly what we want... The same should be done by LSM module that holds some internal references to vfsmount and wants to shut them down on umount - it should make them special and security_sb_umount_close() will be called exactly when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone. quota handling is even simpler - we don't use normal file IO anymore, so there's no need to hold vfsmounts at all. DQUOT_OFF() is done from deactivate_super(), where it really belongs. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

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!
