[PATCH] Mark struct super_operations const

2007-02-12T17:48:47+00:00

This patch is inspired by Arjan's "Patch series to mark struct
file_operations and struct inode_operations const".

Compile tested with gcc & sparse.

[PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 2

2007-02-12T17:48:46+00:00

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

[PATCH] extend the set of "attribute" shortcut macros

2007-02-11T18:51:35+00:00

Extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macros, and remove identical
(and now superfluous) definitions from a couple of source files.

based on a page at robert love's blog:

	http://rlove.org/log/2005102601

extend the set of shortcut macros defined in compiler-gcc.h with the
following:

#define __packed                       __attribute__((packed))
#define __weak                         __attribute__((weak))
#define __naked                        __attribute__((naked))
#define __noreturn                     __attribute__((noreturn))
#define __pure                         __attribute__((pure))
#define __aligned(x)                   __attribute__((aligned(x)))
#define __printf(a,b)                  __attribute__((format(printf,a,b)))

Once these are in place, it's up to subsystem maintainers to decide if they
want to take advantage of them.  there is already a strong precedent for
using shortcuts like this in the source tree.

The ones that might give people pause are "__aligned" and "__printf", but
shortcuts for both of those are already in use, and in some ways very
confusingly.  note the two very different definitions for a macro named
"ALIGNED":

  drivers/net/sgiseeq.c:#define ALIGNED(x) ((((unsigned long)(x)) + 0xf) & ~(0xf))
  drivers/scsi/ultrastor.c:#define ALIGNED(x) __attribute__((aligned(x)))

also:

  include/acpi/platform/acgcc.h:
    #define ACPI_PRINTF_LIKE(c) __attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, c, c+1)))

Given the precedent, then, it seems logical to at least standardize on a
consistent set of these macros.

[PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t

2006-12-07T16:39:25+00:00

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

[PATCH] hfs_fill_super returns success even if no root inode

2006-11-16T19:43:38+00:00

hfs_fill_super() returns success even if
  root_inode = hfs_iget(sb, &fd.search_key->cat, &rec);
or
  sb->s_root = d_alloc_root(root_inode);

fails.  This superblock finds its way to superblock_doinit() which does:

        struct dentry *root = sb->s_root;
        struct inode *inode = root->d_inode;

and boom.  Need to make sure the error cases return an error, I think.

[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: monitor zeroing of i_nlink

2006-10-01T07:39:30+00:00

Some filesystems, instead of simply decrementing i_nlink, simply zero it
during an unlink operation.  We need to catch these in addition to the
decrement operations.
