udf: Remove unnecessary bkl usages

2011-01-06T16:03:57+00:00

The udf_readdir(), udf_lookup(), udf_create(), udf_mknod(), udf_mkdir(),
udf_rmdir(), udf_link(), udf_get_parent() and udf_unlink() seems already
adequately protected by i_mutex held by VFS invoking calls. The udf_rename()
instead should be already protected by lock_rename again by VFS. The
udf_ioctl(), udf_fill_super() and udf_evict_inode() don't requires any further
protection.

This work was supported by a hardware donation from the CE Linux Forum.

rename the generic fsync implementations

2010-05-28T02:06:06+00:00

We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
which can lead to some confusion.

This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
what to expect.  In addition add some documentation for both methods.

fs/: do not fallback to default_llseek() when readdir() uses BKL

2010-05-27T16:12:56+00:00

Do not use the fallback default_llseek() if the readdir operation of the
filesystem still uses the big kernel lock.

Since llseek() modifies
file->f_pos of the directory directly it may need locking to not confuse
readdir which usually uses file->f_pos directly as well

Since the special characteristics of the BKL (unlocked on schedule) are
not necessary in this case, the inode mutex can be used for locking as
provided by generic_file_llseek().  This is only possible since all
filesystems, except reiserfs, either use a directory as a flat file or
with disk address offsets.  Reiserfs on the other hand uses a 32bit hash
off the filename as the offset so generic_file_llseek() can get used as
well since the hash is always smaller than sb->s_maxbytes (= (512 << 32) -
blocksize).

udf: Remove declarations of arrays of size UDF_NAME_LEN (256 bytes)

2008-04-17T12:23:04+00:00

There are several places in UDF where we declared temporary arrays of
UDF_NAME_LEN bytes on stack. This is not nice to stack usage so this patch
changes those places to use kmalloc() instead. Also clean up bail-out paths
in those functions when we are changing them.

udf: kill useless file header comments for vfs method implementations

2008-04-17T12:22:23+00:00

There's not need to document vfs method invocation rules, we have
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt and Documentation/filesystems/Locking
for that.  Also a lot of these comments where either plain wrong or
horrible out of date.
