fs/libfs.c: fix simple_attr_write() on 32bit machines

2011-07-20T05:09:30+00:00

Assume that /sys/kernel/debug/dummy64 is debugfs file created by
debugfs_create_x64().

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug
	# echo 0x1234567812345678 > dummy64
	# cat dummy64
	0x0000000012345678

	# echo 0x80000000 > dummy64
	# cat dummy64
	0xffffffff80000000

A value larger than INT_MAX cannot be written to the debugfs file created
by debugfs_create_u64 or debugfs_create_x64 on 32bit machine.  Because
simple_attr_write() uses simple_strtol() for the conversion.

To fix this, use simple_strtoll() instead.

fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup path

2011-01-07T06:50:28+00:00

Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
have d_op but not the particular operation.

Patched with:

git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

fs: dcache remove dcache_lock

dcache_lock no longer protects anything. remove it.

fs: dcache scale subdirs

2011-01-07T06:50:21+00:00

Protect d_subdirs and d_child with d_lock, except in filesystems that aren't
using dcache_lock for these anyway (eg. using i_mutex).

Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that ->d_child protection is
provided only with ->d_parent->d_lock, it may allow us to reduce some locking.
But it would be an exception to an otherwise regular locking scheme, so we'd
have to see some good results. Probably not worthwhile.

fs: dcache scale d_unhashed

2011-01-07T06:50:21+00:00

Protect d_unhashed(dentry) condition with d_lock. This means keeping
DCACHE_UNHASHED bit in synch with hash manipulations.

fs: change d_delete semantics

2011-01-07T06:50:18+00:00

Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching
advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent,
and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback
anyway.

This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning
much simpler.

fs: add sync_inode_metadata

2010-10-26T01:18:19+00:00

Add a new helper to write out the inode using the writeback code,
that is including the correct dirty bit and list manipulation.  A few
of filesystems already opencode this, and a lot of others should be
using it instead of using write_inode_now which also writes out the
data.
