Pull vfs changes from Al Viro.
"A lot of misc stuff. The obvious groups:
* Miklos' atomic_open series; kills the damn abuse of
->d_revalidate() by NFS, which was the major stumbling block for
all work in that area.
* ripping security_file_mmap() and dealing with deadlocks in the
area; sanitizing the neighborhood of vm_mmap()/vm_munmap() in
general.
* ->encode_fh() switched to saner API; insane fake dentry in
mm/cleancache.c gone.
* assorted annotations in fs (endianness, __user)
* parts of Artem's ->s_dirty work (jff2 and reiserfs parts)
* ->update_time() work from Josef.
* other bits and pieces all over the place.
Normally it would've been in two or three pull requests, but
signal.git stuff had eaten a lot of time during this cycle ;-/"
Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt (the
'truncate_range' inode method was removed by the VM changes, the VFS
update adds an 'update_time()' method), and in fs/btrfs/ulist.[ch] (due
to sparse fix added twice, with other changes nearby).
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (95 commits)
nfs: don't open in ->d_revalidate
vfs: retry last component if opening stale dentry
vfs: nameidata_to_filp(): don't throw away file on error
vfs: nameidata_to_filp(): inline __dentry_open()
vfs: do_dentry_open(): don't put filp
vfs: split __dentry_open()
vfs: do_last() common post lookup
vfs: do_last(): add audit_inode before open
vfs: do_last(): only return EISDIR for O_CREAT
vfs: do_last(): check LOOKUP_DIRECTORY
vfs: do_last(): make ENOENT exit RCU safe
vfs: make follow_link check RCU safe
vfs: do_last(): use inode variable
vfs: do_last(): inline walk_component()
vfs: do_last(): make exit RCU safe
vfs: split do_lookup()
Btrfs: move over to use ->update_time
fs: introduce inode operation ->update_time
reiserfs: get rid of resierfs_sync_super
reiserfs: mark the superblock as dirty a bit later

ssize_t (*getxattr) (struct dentry *, const char *, void *, size_t);
ssize_t (*listxattr) (struct dentry *, char *, size_t);
int (*removexattr) (struct dentry *, const char *);
- void (*truncate_range)(struct inode *, loff_t, loff_t);
int (*fiemap)(struct inode *, struct fiemap_extent_info *, u64 start, u64 len);
+ void (*update_time)(struct inode *, struct timespec *, int);
locking rules:
all may block
getxattr: no
listxattr: no
removexattr: yes
-truncate_range: yes
fiemap: no
+ update_time: no
+
Additionally, ->rmdir(), ->unlink() and ->rename() have ->i_mutex on
victim.
cross-directory ->rename() has (per-superblock) ->s_vfs_rename_sem.
ssize_t (*getxattr) (struct dentry *, const char *, void *, size_t);
ssize_t (*listxattr) (struct dentry *, char *, size_t);
int (*removexattr) (struct dentry *, const char *);
- void (*truncate_range)(struct inode *, loff_t, loff_t);
+ void (*update_time)(struct inode *, struct timespec *, int);
};
Again, all methods are called without any locks being held, unless
removexattr: called by the VFS to remove an extended attribute from
a file. This method is called by removexattr(2) system call.
- truncate_range: a method provided by the underlying filesystem to truncate a
- range of blocks , i.e. punch a hole somewhere in a file.
-
+ update_time: called by the VFS to update a specific time or the i_version of
+ an inode. If this is not defined the VFS will update the inode itself
+ and call mark_inode_dirty_sync.
