[PATCH] prepare vfs_readdir() callers to returning filldir result

2008-10-23T09:13:10+00:00

It's not the final state, but it allows moving ->readdir() instances
to passing filldir return value to caller of vfs_readdir().

select: fix alpha OSF wrapper

... alpha calls the core select code from inside it's architecture
code for emulating OSF; this patch makes it compile again

[PATCH] fix osf_getdirents()

2008-08-25T05:18:06+00:00

Return value of filldir callback is just "should we stop here"; it's
not a usable channel for passing error values (i.e. ->readdir() will
forget anything except "is it non-zero").

[PATCH] sanitize __user_walk_fd() et.al.

2008-07-27T00:53:34+00:00

* do not pass nameidata; struct path is all the callers want.
* switch to new helpers:
	user_path_at(dfd, pathname, flags, &path)
	user_path(pathname, &path)
	user_lpath(pathname, &path)
	user_path_dir(pathname, &path)  (fail if not a directory)
  The last 3 are trivial macro wrappers for the first one.
* remove nameidata in callers.

alpha: unbreak OSF/1 (a.out) binaries

2008-04-24T15:35:47+00:00

OSF/1 brk(2) was broken by following one-liner in sys_brk()
(commit 4cc6028d4040f95cdb590a87db478b42b8be0508):

-	if (brk < mm->end_code)
+	if (brk < mm->start_brk)
		goto out;

The problem is that osf_set_program_attributes()
does update mm->end_code, but not mm->start_brk,
which still contains inappropriate value left from
binary loader, so brk() always fails.

Introduce path_put()

2008-02-15T05:13:33+00:00

* Add path_put() functions for releasing a reference to the dentry and
  vfsmount of a struct path in the right order

* Switch from path_release(nd) to path_put(&nd->path)

* Rename dput_path() to path_put_conditional()

Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}

2008-02-15T05:13:33+00:00

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
   pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

with patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.
