FAT_VALID_MEDIA(): remove pointless test

2008-08-06T17:11:01+00:00

commit 73f20e58b1d586e9f6d3ddc3aad872829aca7743 upstream

The on-disk media specification field in FAT is only 8-bits, so testing for
<=0xff is pointless, and can generate a "comparison is always true due to
limited range of data type" warning.

While we're there, convert FAT_VALID_MEDIA() into a C function - the present
implementation is buggy: it generates either one or two references to its
argument.

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

2008-02-07T16:42:28+00:00

Stop the FAT filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace the call
to iget() with a call to ilookup().

fs/fat/: refine chmod checks

2008-02-06T18:40:59+00:00

Prohibit mode changes in non-quiet mode that cannot be stored reliably with
the on-disk format.

Suppose a vfat filesystem is mounted with umask=0 and [not-quiet].  Then
all files will have mode 0777.  Trying to change the owner will fail,
because fat does not know about owners or groups.  chmod 0770, on the other
hand, will succeed, even though fat does not know about the permission
triplet [user/group/other].

So this patch changes fat's not-quiet behavior so that only UNIX modes are
accepted that can be mapped lossless between the fat disk format and the
local system.  There is only one attribute, and that is the readonly
attribute, which is mapped to the UNIX write permission bit(s).  chmod 0555
is therefore valid (taking away the +w bits <=> setting the readonly
attribute).  Since chmod 0775 and chmod 0755 is an ambiguous case as to
whether to set or clear the readonly bit, these modes are also denied.

In quiet mode, chmod and chown will continue to "succeed" as they did
before, meaning that a subsequent stat() will temporarily return the new
mode as long as the inode is not reread from disk, and chown will silently
do nothing, not even return the new uid/gid in stat().

fat: optimize fat_count_free_clusters()

2008-01-09T00:10:35+00:00

On large partition, scanning the free clusters is very slow if users
doesn't use "usefree" option.

For optimizing it, this patch uses sb_breadahead() to read of FAT
sectors. On some user's 15GB partition, this patch improved it very
much (1min => 600ms).

The following is the result of 2GB partition on my machine.

without patch:
	root@devron (/)# time df -h > /dev/null

	real    0m1.202s
	user    0m0.000s
	sys     0m0.440s

with patch:
	root@devron (/)# time df -h > /dev/null

	real    0m0.378s
	user    0m0.012s
	sys     0m0.168s

Slab API: remove useless ctor parameter and reorder parameters

2007-10-17T15:42:45+00:00

Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used.  And
the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions.  The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.

Convert

        ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)

to

        ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)

throughout the kernel
