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...

get rid of BKL in fs/efs

Only readdir() really needed it, and that's easily fixable by switch to
generic_file_llseek()

efs: move headers out of include/linux/

2008-02-24T01:12:15+00:00

Merge include/linux/efs_fs{_i,_dir}.h into fs/efs/efs.h.  efs_vh.h remains
there because this is the IRIX volume header and shouldn't really be
handled by efs but by the partitioning code.  efs_sb.h remains there for
now because it's exported to userspace.  Of course this wrong and aboot
should have a copy of it's own, but I'll leave that to a separate patch to
avoid any contention.

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

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

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

efs_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EACCES.

knfsd: exportfs: remove iget abuse

2007-07-17T17:23:06+00:00

When the exportfs interface was added the expectation was that filesystems
provide an operation to convert from a file handle to an inode/dentry, but it
kept a backwards compat option that still calls into iget.

Calling into iget from non-filesystem code is very bad, because it gives too
little information to filesystem, and simply crashes if the filesystem doesn't
implement the ->read_inode routine.

Fortunately there are only two filesystems left using this fallback: efs and
jfs.  This patch moves a copy of export_iget to each of those to implement the
get_dentry method.

While this is a temporary increase of lines of code in the kernel it allows
for a much cleaner interface and important code restructuring in later
patches.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
