vfs: push dentry_unhash on rmdir into file systems

2011-05-26T11:26:47+00:00

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

This does not change behavior for any in-tree file systems.

configfs: Fix race between configfs_readdir() and configfs_d_iput()

2011-05-18T11:08:16+00:00

configfs_readdir() will use the existing inode numbers of inodes in the
dcache, but it makes them up for attribute files that aren't currently
instantiated.  There is a race where a closing attribute file can be
tearing down at the same time as configfs_readdir() is trying to get its
inode number.

We want to get the inode number of open attribute files, because they
should match while instantiated.  We can't lock down the transition
where dentry->d_inode is set to NULL, so we just check for NULL there.
We can, however, ensure that an inode we find isn't iput() in
configfs_d_iput() until after we've accessed it.

configfs: Don't try to d_delete() negative dentries.

2011-05-18T10:30:58+00:00

When configfs is faking mkdir() on its subsystem or default group
objects, it starts by adding a negative dentry.  It then tries to
instantiate the group.  If that should fail, it must clean up after
itself.

I was using d_delete() here, but configfs_attach_group() promises to
return an empty dentry on error.  d_delete() explodes with the entry
dentry.  Let's try d_drop() instead.  The unhashing is what we want for
our dentry.

fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup path

2011-01-07T06:50:28+00:00

Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
have d_op but not the particular operation.

Patched with:

git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

fs: dcache rationalise dget variants

2011-01-07T06:50:24+00:00

dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already
held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point).
However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any
caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy
dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time.
