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" }, { "commit": "c89681ed7d0e4a61d35bdc12c06c6733b718b2cb", "tree": "170d7c54d578480ba231dd690243aa21067ca253", "parents": [ "09d967c6f32b35eab15b45862ae16e4f06259d8e" ], "author": { "name": "Miklos Szeredi", "email": "miklos@szeredi.hu", "time": "Thu Jun 22 14:47:22 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Thu Jun 22 15:05:57 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] remove steal_locks()\n\nThis patch removes the steal_locks() function.\n\nsteal_locks() doesn\u0027t work correctly with any filesystem that does it\u0027s own\nlock management, including NFS, CIFS, etc.\n\nIn addition it has weird semantics on local filesystems in case tasks\nsharing file-descriptor tables are doing POSIX locking operations in\nparallel to execve().\n\nThe steal_locks() function has an effect on applications doing:\n\nclone(CLONE_FILES)\n /* in child */\n lock\n execve\n lock\n\nPOSIX locks acquired before execve (by \"child\", \"parent\" or any further\ntask sharing files_struct) will after the execve be owned exclusively by\n\"child\".\n\nAccording to Chris Wright some LSB/LTP kind of suite triggers without the\nstealing behavior, but there\u0027s no known real-world application that would\nalso fail.\n\nApps using NPTL are not affected, since all other threads are killed before\nexecve.\n\nApps using LinuxThreads are only affected if they\n\n - have multiple threads during exec (LinuxThreads doesn\u0027t kill other\n threads, the app may do it with pthread_kill_other_threads_np())\n - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec\n\nBoth conditions are documented, but not their interaction.\n\nApps using clone() natively are affected if they\n\n - use clone(CLONE_FILES)\n - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec\n\nThe above scenarios are unlikely, but possible.\n\nIf the patch is vetoed, there\u0027s a plan B, that involves mostly keeping the\nweird stealing semantics, but changing the way lock ownership is handled so\nthat network and local filesystems work consistently.\n\nThat would add more complexity though, so this solution seems to be\npreferred by most people.\n\nSigned-off-by: Miklos Szeredi \u003cmiklos@szeredi.hu\u003e\nCc: Trond Myklebust \u003ctrond.myklebust@fys.uio.no\u003e\nCc: Matthew Wilcox \u003cwilly@debian.org\u003e\nCc: Chris Wright \u003cchrisw@sous-sol.org\u003e\nCc: Christoph Hellwig \u003chch@lst.de\u003e\nCc: Steven French \u003csfrench@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "1f5ce9e93aa96a867f195ed45f6f77935175f12e", "tree": "caa9b6635990f69d47c1729524bd127e968b23f5", "parents": [ "bb4a58bf46473e3e83d84054bbc110db3a0f85e4" ], "author": { "name": "Trond Myklebust", "email": "Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com", "time": "Fri Jun 09 09:34:16 2006 -0400" }, "committer": { "name": "Trond Myklebust", "email": "Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com", "time": "Fri Jun 09 09:34:16 2006 -0400" }, "message": "VFS: Unexport do_kern_mount() and clean up simple_pin_fs()\n\nReplace all module uses with the new vfs_kern_mount() interface, and fix up\nsimple_pin_fs().\n\nSigned-off-by: Trond Myklebust \u003cTrond.Myklebust@netapp.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "4b6f5d20b04dcbc3d888555522b90ba6d36c4106", "tree": "420f271eaef7d3def7d4433b151c3cb6d7a54770", "parents": [ "99ac48f54a91d02140c497edc31dc57d4bc5c85d" ], "author": { "name": "Arjan van de Ven", "email": "arjan@infradead.org", "time": "Tue Mar 28 01:56:42 2006 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Tue Mar 28 09:16:06 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const\n\nThis is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/\nconst.
