get rid of s_files and files_lock

2015-07-30T11:21:27+00:00

commit eee5cc2702929fd41cce28058dc6d6717f723f87 upstream.

The only thing we need it for is alt-sysrq-r (emergency remount r/o)
and these days we can do just as well without going through the
list of files.

ext4: atomically set inode->i_flags in ext4_set_inode_flags()

2014-12-03T10:58:43+00:00

commit 5f16f3225b06242a9ee876f07c1c9b6ed36a22b6 upstream.

Use cmpxchg() to atomically set i_flags instead of clearing out the
S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. flags and then setting them from the
EXT4_IMMUTABLE_FL, EXT4_APPEND_FL flags, since this opens up a race
where an immutable file has the immutable flag cleared for a brief
window of time.

js: there is no change for ext4. This patch defines merely
    inode_set_flags for jffs in the next patch. I wonder why do we
    have both inode_set_flags and set_mask_bits? Looks like an
    improperly resolved merge conflict.

fix O_SYNC|O_APPEND syncing the wrong range on write()

2014-12-03T10:58:41+00:00

commit d311d79de305f1ada47cadd672e6ed1b28a949eb upstream.

It actually goes back to 2004 ([PATCH] Concurrent O_SYNC write support)
when sync_page_range() had been introduced; generic_file_write{,v}() correctly
synced
	pos_after_write - written .. pos_after_write - 1
but generic_file_aio_write() synced
	pos_before_write .. pos_before_write + written - 1
instead.  Which is not the same thing with O_APPEND, obviously.
A couple of years later correct variant had been killed off when
everything switched to use of generic_file_aio_write().

All users of generic_file_aio_write() are affected, and the same bug
has been copied into other instances of ->aio_write().

The fix is trivial; the only subtle point is that generic_write_sync()
ought to be inlined to avoid calculations useless for the majority of
calls.

commit b7a6ec52dd4eced4a9bcda9ca85b3c8af84d3c90 upstream.

The filehandle lookup code wants this version of getattr.

fs: convert inode and dentry shrinking to be node aware

2013-09-10T22:56:31+00:00

Now that the shrinker is passing a node in the scan control structure, we
can pass this to the the generic LRU list code to isolate reclaim to the
lists on matching nodes.

shrinker: convert superblock shrinkers to new API

2013-09-10T22:56:30+00:00

Convert superblock shrinker to use the new count/scan API, and propagate
the API changes through to the filesystem callouts.  The filesystem
callouts already use a count/scan API, so it's just changing counters to
longs to match the VM API.

This requires the dentry and inode shrinker callouts to be converted to
the count/scan API.  This is mainly a mechanical change.
