What\nit wants is fput() from atomic context; it\u0027s almost always\ndone with f_count \u003e 1, so they only have to deal with delayed\nwork in rare cases when their reference happens to be the\nlast one. Current code decrements f_count and if it hasn\u0027t\nhit 0, everything is fine. Otherwise it keeps a pointer\nto struct file (with zero f_count!) around and has delayed\nwork do __fput() on it.\n\nBetter way to do it: use atomic_long_add_unless( , -1, 1)\ninstead of !atomic_long_dec_and_test(). IOW, decrement it\nonly if it\u0027s not the last reference, leave refcount alone\nif it was. And use normal fput() in delayed work.\n\nI\u0027ve made that atomic_long_add_unless call a new helper -\nfput_atomic(). Drops a reference to file if it\u0027s safe to\ndo in atomic (i.e. if that\u0027s not the last one), tells if\nit had been able to do that. aio.c converted to it, __fput()\nuse is gone. req-\u003eki_file *always* contributes to refcount\nnow. And __fput() became static.\n\nSigned-off-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "42e49608683ab25fbbbf9c40edb944601e543882", "tree": "5cc8beee91f235cdaf6be986f90275e04137c2bc", "parents": [ "85f1fb72fa76eabc4481dc79f42d2b011df54762" ], "author": { "name": "Wu Fengguang", "email": "fengguang.wu@intel.com", "time": "Fri Mar 05 13:42:01 2010 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat Mar 06 11:26:25 2010 -0800" }, "message": "vfs: take f_lock on modifying f_mode after open time\n\nWe\u0027ll introduce FMODE_RANDOM which will be runtime modified.

It elevates the writer\ncount on a mount each time a non-special file is opened for write.\n\nWe used to do this in may_open(), but Miklos pointed out that __dentry_open()\nis used as well to create filps. This will cover even those cases, while a\ncall in may_open() would not have.\n\nThere is also an elevated count around the vfs_create() call in open_namei().\nSee the comments for more details, but we need this to fix a \u0027create, remount,\nfail r/w open()\u0027 race.\n\nSome filesystems forego the use of normal vfs calls to create\nstruct files. Make sure that these users elevate the mnt\nwriter count because they will get __fput(), and we need\nto make sure they\u0027re balanced.\n\nAcked-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Christoph Hellwig \u003chch@lst.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Dave Hansen \u003chaveblue@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "aceaf78da92a53f5e1b105649a1b8c0afdb2135c", "tree": "cab04e05f8b504b0a11d4986045bc3b08a3a1e75", "parents": [ "8366025eb80dfa0d8d94b286d53027081c280ef1" ], "author": { "name": "Dave Hansen", "email": "haveblue@us.ibm.com", "time": "Fri Feb 15 14:37:31 2008 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Al Viro", "email": "viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk", "time": "Sat Apr 19 00:25:32 2008 -0400" }, "message": "[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: create helper to drop file write access\n\nIf someone decides to demote a file from r/w to just\nr/o, they can use this same code as __fput().\n\nNFS does just that, and will use this in the next\npatch.\n\nAV: drop write access in __fput() only after we evict from file list.\n\nSigned-off-by: Dave Hansen \u003chaveblue@us.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Erez Zadok \u003cezk@cs.sunysb.edu\u003e\nCc: Trond Myklebust \u003ctrond.myklebust@fys.uio.no\u003e\nCc: \"J Bruce Fields\" \u003cbfields@fieldses.org\u003e\nAcked-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Christoph Hellwig \u003chch@lst.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "430e285e0817e3e18aadd814bc078d50d8af0cbf", "tree": "cbd008864e18e76a7e2984bfd1898028762fd19a", "parents": [ "322ee5b36eac42e762526b0df7fa432beba6e7a0" ], "author": { "name": "Dave Hansen", "email": "haveblue@us.ibm.com", "time": "Fri Feb 15 14:37:26 2008 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Al Viro", "email": "viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk", "time": "Wed Mar 19 06:54:05 2008 -0400" }, "message": "[PATCH] fix up new filp allocators\n\nSome new uses of get_empty_filp() have crept in; switched\nto alloc_file() to make sure that pieces of initialization\nwon\u0027t be missing.\n\nWe really need to kill get_empty_filp().\n\n[AV] fixed dentry leak on failure exit in anon_inode_getfd()\n\nCc: Erez Zadok \u003cezk@cs.sunysb.edu\u003e\nCc: Trond Myklebust \u003ctrond.myklebust@fys.uio.no\u003e\nCc: \"J Bruce Fields\" \u003cbfields@fieldses.org\u003e\nAcked-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Christoph Hellwig \u003chch@lst.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Dave Hansen \u003chaveblue@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "fc9b52cd8f5f459b88adcf67c47668425ae31a78", "tree": "c29924eaf60d2e73641bf11fa906a23fa81f46c9", "parents": [ "75acb9cd2ef0bbb463098fdd40cbcdda79d45fa3" ], "author": { "name": "Harvey Harrison", "email": "harvey.harrison@gmail.com", "time": "Fri Feb 08 04:19:52 2008 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Fri Feb 08 09:22:31 2008 -0800" }, "message": "fs: remove fastcall, it is always empty\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]\nSigned-off-by: Harvey Harrison \u003charvey.harrison@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "cfdaf9e5f95993264b5aee7cbb9dd16977bc11ed", "tree": "5f1cfadbdae01b118ed9f1dcefa57a633fcec8f7", "parents": [ "4e6045f134784f4b158b3c0f7a282b04bd816887" ], "author": { "name": "Matthias Kaehlcke", "email": "matthias.kaehlcke@gmail.com", "time": "Thu Oct 18 23:39:56 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Fri Oct 19 11:53:38 2007 -0700" }, "message": "fs/file_table.c: use list_for_each_entry() instead of list_for_each()\n\nfs/file_table.c: use list_for_each_entry() instead of list_for_each()\nin fs_may_remount_ro()\n\nSigned-off-by: Matthias Kaehlcke \u003cmatthias.kaehlcke@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "ce8d2cdf3d2b73e346c82e6f0a46da331df6364c", "tree": "bf3597f2d4f57d6e30a7703d7fce0dbf8c757962", "parents": [ "348366b963e4e1462c8354827a9cb910aa865bf2" ], "author": { "name": "Dave Hansen", "email": "haveblue@us.ibm.com", "time": "Tue Oct 16 23:31:13 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed Oct 17 08:43:04 2007 -0700" }, "message": "r/o bind mounts: filesystem helpers for custom \u0027struct file\u0027s\n\nWhy do we need r/o bind mounts?\n\nThis feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem. In the\nprocess of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of\nthe number of writers to any given mount.\n\nThis has a number of uses. It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems\nwritable.

I\u0027ve been using the following script to test that the feature is\nworking as desired. It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o\nbind mount of it.
