efivarfs: Ensure VariableName is NUL-terminated

2015-04-17T14:41:13+00:00

Some buggy firmware implementations update VariableNameSize on success such that it does not include the final NUL character which results in garbage in the efivarfs name entries. Use kzalloc on the efivar_entry (as is done in efivars.c) to ensure that the name is always NUL-terminated. The buggy firmware is: BIOS Information Vendor: Intel Corp.

VFS: normal filesystems (and lustre): d_inode() annotations

that's the bulk of filesystem drivers dealing with inodes of their own Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: Al Viro

efi: Rename efi_guid_unparse to efi_guid_to_str

efivarfs: Allow unloading when build as module

2014-11-11T22:22:27+00:00

There is no need to keep the module loaded when it serves no function in case the EFI runtime services are disabled. Return an error in this case so loading the module will fail. Also supply a module_exit function to allow unloading the module. Last, but not least, set the owner of the file_system_type struct.

consolidate simple ->d_delete() instances

2013-11-16T03:04:17+00:00

Rename simple_delete_dentry() to always_delete_dentry() and export it. Export simple_dentry_operations, while we are at it, and get rid of their duplicates Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Don't pass inode to ->d_hash() and ->d_compare()

2013-06-29T08:57:36+00:00

Instances either don't look at it at all (the majority of cases) or only want it to find the superblock (which can be had as dentry->d_sb). A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry->d_inode - the only precaution needed is the check that it hadn't been replaced with NULL by rmdir() or by overwriting rename(), which case should be simply treated as cache miss.
