fs/bfs: use bfs prefix for dump_imap

2014-08-08T22:57:24+00:00

All bfs related functions use bfs_ prefix.  This patch also moves extern
declaration to bfs.h and removes prototype from inode.c

This fixes checkpatch warning:

  WARNING: externs should be avoided in .c files

BFS: clean up the superblock usage

2010-08-09T20:48:53+00:00

BFS is a very simple FS and its superblocks contains only static
information and is never changed. However, the BFS code for some
misterious reasons marked its buffer head as dirty from time to
time, but nothing in that buffer was ever changed.

This patch removes all the BFS superblock manipulation, simply
because it is not needed. It removes:

1. The si_sbh filed from 'struct bfs_sb_info' because it is not
   needed. We only need to read the SB once on mount to get the
   start of data blocks and the FS size. After this, we can forget
   about the SB.
2. All instances of 'mark_buffer_dirty(sbh)' for BFS SB because
   it is never changed.
3. The '->sync_fs()' method because there is nothing to sync
   (inodes are synched by VFS).
4. The '->write_super()' method, again, because the SB is never
   changed.

bfs: assorted cleanups

2008-07-26T19:00:03+00:00

This patch makes the following cleanups:

	o removing an unused variable from bfs_fill_super();
	o removing unneeded blank spaces from pointer
	  definitions.

iget: stop BFS from using iget() and read_inode()

2008-02-07T16:42:27+00:00

Stop the BFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
bfs_read_inode() with bfs_iget(), and call that instead of iget().  bfs_iget()
then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code instead of an
inode in the event of an error.

bfs_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

Fixes to the BFS filesystem driver

2007-11-15T02:45:40+00:00

I found a few bugs in the BFS driver.  Detailed description of the bugs as
well as the steps to reproduce the errors are given in the kernel bugzilla.
 Please follow these links for more information:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9363
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9364
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9365
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9366

This patch fixes the bugs described above.  Besides, the patch introduces
coding style changes to make the BFS driver conform to the requirements
specified for Linux kernel code.  Finally, I made a few cosmetic changes
such as removal of trivial debug output.

Also, the patch removes the fields `si_lf_ioff' and `si_lf_sblk' of the
in-core superblock structure.  These fields are initialized but never
actually used.

If you are wondering why I need BFS, here is the answer: I am using this
driver in the context of Linux kernel classes I am teaching in the Moscow
State University and in the International Institute of Information
Technology in Pune, India.

[PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1

2007-02-12T17:48:46+00:00

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

[PATCH] mark address_space_operations const

2006-06-28T21:59:04+00:00

Same as with already do with the file operations: keep them in .rodata and
prevents people from doing runtime patching.

[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const

2006-03-28T17:16:06+00:00

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const.  Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups

The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)
