don't pass nameidata to ->create()

2012-07-14T12:34:47+00:00

boolean "does it have to be exclusive?" flag is passed instead;
Local filesystem should just ignore it - the object is guaranteed
not to be there yet.

stop passing nameidata to ->lookup()

2012-07-14T12:34:32+00:00

Just the flags; only NFS cares even about that, but there are
legitimate uses for such argument.  And getting rid of that
completely would require splitting ->lookup() into a couple
of methods (at least), so let's leave that alone for now...

switch ->create() to umode_t

2012-01-04T03:54:53+00:00

vfs_create() ignores everything outside of 16bit subset of its
mode argument; switching it to umode_t is obviously equivalent
and it's the only caller of the method

vfs: push dentry_unhash on rename_dir into file systems

2011-05-26T11:26:48+00:00

Only a few file systems need this.  Start by pushing it down into each
rename method (except gfs2 and xfs) so that it can be dealt with on a
per-fs basis.

bfs: fix bitmap size argument to find_first_zero_bit()

2011-03-21T12:35:12+00:00

The usage of find_first_zero_bit() in bfs_create() is wrong for two
reasons.

The bitmap size argument to find_first_zero_bit() is info->si_lasti but
the correct bitmap size is info->si_lasti + 1 as info->si_lasti is the
last valid index in info->si_imap bitmap.

Another problem is that it is impossible to detect that info->si_imap
bitmap is full because there is an off-by-one bug in the return value
check for find_first_zero_bit().  If no zero bits exist in info->si_imap,
find_first_zero_bit() returns info->si_lasti.  But the check can't catch
it due to the off-by-one.

rename the generic fsync implementations

2010-05-28T02:06:06+00:00

We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
which can lead to some confusion.

This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
what to expect.  In addition add some documentation for both methods.
