      "message": "mount options: add documentation\n\nThis series addresses the problem of showing mount options in\n/proc/mounts.\n\nSeveral filesystems which use mount options, have not implemented a\n.show_options superblock operation.  Several others have implemented\nthis callback, but have not kept it fully up to date with the parsed\noptions.\n\nQ: Why do we need correct option showing in /proc/mounts?\nA: We want /proc/mounts to fully replace /etc/mtab.  The reasons for\n   this are:\n    - unprivileged mounters won\u0027t be able to update /etc/mtab\n    - /etc/mtab doesn\u0027t work with private mount namespaces\n    - /etc/mtab can become out-of-sync with reality\n\nQ: Can\u0027t this be done, so that filesystems need not bother with\n   implementing a .show_mounts callback, and keeping it up to date?\nA: Only in some cases.  Certain filesystems allow modification of a\n   subset of options in their remount_fs method.  It is not possible\n   to take this into account without knowing exactly how the\n   filesystem handles options.\n\nFor the simple case (no remount or remount resets all options) the\npatchset introduces two helpers:\n\n  generic_show_options()\n  save_mount_options()\n\nThese can also be used to emulate the old /etc/mtab behavior, until\nproper support is added.  Even if this is not 100% correct, it\u0027s still\nbetter than showing no options at all.\n\nThe following patches fix up most in-tree filesystems, some have been\ncompile tested only, some have been reviewed and acked by the\nmaintainer.\n\nTable displaying status of all in-kernel filesystems:\n- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -\nlegend:\n\n  none - fs has options, but doesn\u0027t define -\u003eshow_options()\n  some - fs defines -\u003eshow_options(), but some only options are shown\n  good - fs shows all options\n  noopt - fs does not have options\n  patch - a patch will be posted\n  merged - a patch has been merged by subsystem maintainer\n\n9p          good\nadfs        patch\naffs        patch\nafs         patch\nautofs      patch\nautofs4     patch\nbefs        patch\nbfs         noopt\ncifs        some\ncoda        noopt\nconfigfs    noopt\ncramfs      noopt\ndebugfs     noopt\ndevpts      patch\necryptfs    good\nefs         noopt\next2        patch\next3        good\next4        merged\nfat         patch\nfreevxfs    noopt\nfuse        patch\nfusectl\t    noopt\ngfs2        good\ngfs2meta    noopt\nhfs         good\nhfsplus     good\nhostfs      patch\nhpfs        patch\nhppfs       noopt\nhugetlbfs   patch\nisofs       patch\njffs2       noopt\njfs         merged\nminix       noopt\nmsdos       -\u003efat\nncpfs       patch\nnfs         some\nnfsd        noopt\nntfs        good\nocfs2       good\nocfs2/dlmfs noopt\nopenpromfs  noopt\nproc        noopt\nqnx4        noopt\nramfs       noopt\nreiserfs    patch\nromfs       noopt\nsmbfs       good\nsysfs       noopt\nsysv        noopt\nudf         patch\nufs         good\nvfat        -\u003efat\nxfs         good\n\nmm/shmem.c                                    patch\ndrivers/oprofile/oprofilefs.c                 noopt\ndrivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ipath_fs.c        noopt\ndrivers/misc/ibmasm/ibmasmfs.c                noopt\ndrivers/usb/core (usbfs)                      merged\ndrivers/usb/gadget (gadgetfs)                 noopt\ndrivers/isdn/capi/capifs.c                    patch\nkernel/cpuset.c                               noopt\nfs/binfmt_misc.c                              noopt\nnet/sunrpc/rpc_pipe.c                         noopt\narch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs             patch\narch/s390/hypfs                               good\nipc/mqueue.c                                  noopt\nsecurity (securityfs)                         noopt\nsecurity/selinux/selinuxfs.c                  noopt\nkernel/cgroup.c                               good\nsecurity/smack/smackfs.c                      noopt\n\nin -mm:\n\nreiser4     some\nunionfs     good\n- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -\n\nThis patch:\n\nDocument the rules for handling mount options in the .show_options\nsuper operation.\n\nSigned-off-by: Miklos Szeredi \u003cmszeredi@suse.cz\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n"

A new function is added in an earlier\npatch (iget_failed) that is to be called to mark an inode as bad, unlock it\nand release it should the get routine fail.  Mark iget() and read_inode() as\nbeing obsolete and remove references to them from the documentation.\n\nTypically a filesystem will be modified such that the read_inode function\nbecomes an internal iget function, for example the following:\n\n\tvoid thingyfs_read_inode(struct inode *inode)\n\t{\n\t\t...\n\t}\n\nwould be changed into something like:\n\n\tstruct inode *thingyfs_iget(struct super_block *sp, unsigned long ino)\n\t{\n\t\tstruct inode *inode;\n\t\tint ret;\n\n\t\tinode \u003d iget_locked(sb, ino);\n\t\tif (!inode)\n\t\t\treturn ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);\n\t\tif (!(inode-\u003ei_state \u0026 I_NEW))\n\t\t\treturn inode;\n\n\t\t...\n\t\tunlock_new_inode(inode);\n\t\treturn inode;\n\terror:\n\t\tiget_failed(inode);\n\t\treturn ERR_PTR(ret);\n\t}\n\nand then thingyfs_iget() would be called rather than iget(), for example:\n\n\tret \u003d -EINVAL;\n\tinode \u003d iget(sb, ino);\n\tif (!inode || is_bad_inode(inode))\n\t\tgoto error;\n\nbecomes:\n\n\tinode \u003d thingyfs_iget(sb, ino);\n\tif (IS_ERR(inode)) {\n\t\tret \u003d PTR_ERR(inode);\n\t\tgoto error;\n\t}\n\nNote that is_bad_inode() does not need to be called.

      "message": "[PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount\n\nExtend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that\npermits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.\n\nThe filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry\npointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()\nwhich will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the\nsuperblock\u0027s s_root (as per the old default behaviour).\n\nThe get_sb() op now returns an integer as there\u0027s now no need to return the\nsuperblock pointer.\n\nThis patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount\npoints, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In\nsuch a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root\nand mnt_sb would be set directly.\n\nThe patch also makes the following changes:\n\n (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount\n     pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change\n     very little.\n\n (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should\n     normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will\n     always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().\n\n (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the\n     dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().\n\n     This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that\n     aren\u0027t actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The\n     currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,\n     and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in\n     dentries being left unculled.\n\n     However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be\n     implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is\n     simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for \u0027/\u0027 may well be\n     inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries\n     with child trees.\n\n     [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.\n\n (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of\n     changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.\n\n[akpm@osdl.org: convert ipath_fs, do other stuff]\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nCc: Nathan Scott \u003cnathans@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Roland Dreier \u003crolandd@cisco.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"
