osd fs: __r4w_get_page rely on PageUptodate for uptodate

2015-12-12T18:15:34+00:00

Commit 42cb14b110a5 ("mm: migrate dirty page without
clear_page_dirty_for_io etc") simplified the migration of a PageDirty
pagecache page: one stat needs moving from zone to zone and that's about
all.

It's convenient and safest for it to shift the PageDirty bit from old
page to new, just before updating the zone stats: before copying data
and marking the new PageUptodate.  This is all done while both pages are
isolated and locked, just as before; and just as before, there's a
moment when the new page is visible in the radix_tree, but not yet
PageUptodate.  What's new is that it may now be briefly visible as
PageDirty before it is PageUptodate.

When I scoured the tree to see if this could cause a problem anywhere,
the only places I found were in two similar functions __r4w_get_page():
which look up a page with find_get_page() (not using page lock), then
claim it's uptodate if it's PageDirty or PageWriteback or PageUptodate.

I'm not sure whether that was right before, but now it might be wrong
(on rare occasions): only claim the page is uptodate if PageUptodate.
Or perhaps the page in question could never be migratable anyway?

fs/exofs/namei.c: remove unnecessary new_valid_dev() check

2015-11-09T23:11:24+00:00

new_valid_dev() always returns 1, so the !new_valid_dev() check is not
needed.  Remove it.

pagemap.h: move dir_pages() over there

That function was declared in a lot of filesystems to calculate
directory pages.

make new_sync_{read,write}() static

2015-04-12T02:29:40+00:00

All places outside of core VFS that checked ->read and ->write for being NULL or
called the methods directly are gone now, so NULL {read,write} with non-NULL
{read,write}_iter will do the right thing in all cases.

vfs: remove get_xip_mem

2015-02-17T01:56:03+00:00

All callers of get_xip_mem() are now gone.  Remove checks for it,
initialisers of it, documentation of it and the only implementation of it.
 Also remove mm/filemap_xip.c as it is now empty.  Also remove
documentation of the long-gone get_xip_page().

fs: remove mapping->backing_dev_info

2015-01-20T21:03:05+00:00

Now that we never use the backing_dev_info pointer in struct address_space
we can simply remove it and save 4 to 8 bytes in every inode.

fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support

2015-01-20T21:02:58+00:00

Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead.  Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device.  It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.
