VFS: Fix the remaining automounter semantics regressions

2011-11-11T17:36:22+00:00

commit 815d405ceff0d6964683f033e18b9b23a88fba87 upstream.

The concensus seems to be that system calls such as stat() etc should
not trigger an automount.  Neither should the l* versions.

This patch therefore adds a LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag to tag those lookups
that _should_ trigger an automount on the last path element.

[ Edited to leave out the cases that are already covered by LOOKUP_OPEN,
  LOOKUP_DIRECTORY and LOOKUP_CREATE - all of which also fundamentally
  force automounting for their own reasons   - Linus ]

vmscan: change shrinker API by passing shrink_control struct

2011-05-25T15:39:26+00:00

Change each shrinker's API by consolidating the existing parameters into
shrink_control struct.  This will simplify any further features added w/o
touching each file of shrinker.

quota: Don't write quota info in dquot_commit()

2011-03-31T22:23:46+00:00

There's no reason to write quota info in dquot_commit(). The writing is a
relict from the old days when we didn't have dquot_acquire() and
dquot_release() and thus dquot_commit() could have created / removed quota
structures from the file. These days dquot_commit() only updates usage counters
/ limits in quota structure and thus there's no need to write quota info.

This also fixes an issue with journaling filesystem which didn't reserve
enough space in the transaction for write of quota info (it could have been
dirty at the time of dquot_commit() because of a race with other operation
changing it).

fs: move i_sb_list out from under inode_lock

2011-03-25T01:16:32+00:00

Protect the per-sb inode list with a new global lock
inode_sb_list_lock and use it to protect the list manipulations and
traversals. This lock replaces the inode_lock as the inodes on the
list can be validity checked while holding the inode->i_lock and
hence the inode_lock is no longer needed to protect the list.

fs: protect inode->i_state with inode->i_lock

2011-03-25T01:16:31+00:00

Protect inode state transitions and validity checks with the
inode->i_lock. This enables us to make inode state transitions
independently of the inode_lock and is the first step to peeling
away the inode_lock from the code.

This requires that __iget() is done atomically with i_state checks
during list traversals so that we don't race with another thread
marking the inode I_FREEING between the state check and grabbing the
reference.

Also remove the unlock_new_inode() memory barrier optimisation
required to avoid taking the inode_lock when clearing I_NEW.
Simplify the code by simply taking the inode->i_lock around the
state change and wakeup. Because the wakeup is no longer tricky,
remove the wake_up_inode() function and open code the wakeup where
necessary.

quota: Fix deadlock during path resolution

2011-01-12T18:14:55+00:00

As Al Viro pointed out path resolution during Q_QUOTAON calls to quotactl
is prone to deadlocks. We hold s_umount semaphore for reading during the
path resolution and resolution itself may need to acquire the semaphore
for writing when e. g. autofs mountpoint is passed.

Solve the problem by performing the resolution before we get hold of the
superblock (and thus s_umount semaphore). The whole thing is complicated
by the fact that some filesystems (OCFS2) ignore the path argument. So to
distinguish between filesystem which want the path and which do not we
introduce new .quota_on_meta callback which does not get the path. OCFS2
then uses this callback instead of old .quota_on.

quota: Use %pV and attribute((format (printf in __quota_error and fix fallout

2011-01-10T18:04:05+00:00

Use %pV in __quota_error so a single printk can not be
interleaved with other logging messages.
Add __attribute__((format (printf, 3, 4))) so format
and arguments can be verified by compiler.
Make sure printk formats and arguments match.
