ext2: get rid of most mentions of XIP in ext2

2015-02-17T01:56:04+00:00

To help people transition, accept the 'xip' mount option (and report it in
/proc/mounts), but print a message encouraging people to switch over to
the 'dax' option.

vfs,ext2: remove CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XIP and rename CONFIG_FS_XIP to CONFIG_FS_DAX

2015-02-17T01:56:04+00:00

The fewer Kconfig options we have the better.  Use the generic
CONFIG_FS_DAX to enable XIP support in ext2 as well as in the core.

dax,ext2: replace the XIP page fault handler with the DAX page fault handler

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

Instead of calling aops->get_xip_mem from the fault handler, the
filesystem passes a get_block_t that is used to find the appropriate
blocks.

This requires that all architectures implement copy_user_page().  At the
time of writing, mips and arm do not.  Patches exist and are in progress.

dax,ext2: replace XIP read and write with DAX I/O

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

Use the generic AIO infrastructure instead of custom read and write
methods.  In addition to giving us support for AIO, this adds the missing
locking between read() and truncate().

->splice_write() via ->write_iter()

2014-06-12T04:18:51+00:00

iter_file_splice_write() - a ->splice_write() instance that gathers the
pipe buffers, builds a bio_vec-based iov_iter covering those and feeds
it to ->write_iter().  A bunch of simple cases coverted to that...

fs: take the ACL checks to common code

2011-07-25T18:30:23+00:00

Replace the ->check_acl method with a ->get_acl method that simply reads an
ACL from disk after having a cache miss.  This means we can replace the ACL
checking boilerplate code with a single implementation in namei.c.

fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers

2011-07-21T00:47:59+00:00

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
Thanks,
