Also do a #include diet for aio.h while we're at it.

<title>VFS: (Scripted) Convert S_ISLNK/DIR/REG(dentry-&gt;d_inode) to d_is_*(dentry)</title>

<id>e36cb0b89ce20b4f8786a57e8a6bc8476f577650</id>
<content type='text'>
Convert the following where appropriate:

 (1) S_ISLNK(dentry-&gt;d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).

 (2) S_ISREG(dentry-&gt;d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).

 (3) S_ISDIR(dentry-&gt;d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry).  This is actually more
     complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
     d_can_lookup() instead.  The difference is whether the directory in
     question is a real dir with a -&gt;lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
     a -&gt;d_automount op.

In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry-&gt;d_inode not being
NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).

Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer.  In such a
case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
type of the lower dentry.

However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.

There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE.  Strictly, this was
intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.

The following perl+coccinelle script was used:

use strict;

my @callers;
open($fd, 'git grep -l \'S_IS[A-Z].*-&gt;d_inode\' |') ||
    die "Can't grep for S_ISDIR and co. callers";
@callers = &lt;$fd&gt;;
close($fd);
unless (@callers) {
    print "No matches\n";
    exit(0);
}

my @cocci = (
    '@@',
    'expression E;',
    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISLNK(E-&gt;d_inode-&gt;i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_symlink(E)',
    '',

    'expression E;',
    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISREG(E-&gt;d_inode-&gt;i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_reg(E)' );

my $coccifile = "tmp.sp.cocci";
open($fd, "&gt;$coccifile") || die $coccifile;
print($fd "$_\n") || die $coccifile foreach (@cocci);
close($fd);

foreach my $file (@callers) {
    chomp $file;
    print "Processing ", $file, "\n";
    system("spatch", "--sp-file", $coccifile, $file, "--in-place", "--no-show-diff") == 0 ||
	die "spatch failed";
}
