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

2015-04-15T19:06:57+00:00

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

Boaz Harrosh - Fix broken email address

I no longer have access to the Panasas email. So change to an email that can always reach me. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

don't pass nameidata to ->create()

2012-07-14T12:34:47+00:00

boolean "does it have to be exclusive?" flag is passed instead; Local filesystem should just ignore it - the object is guaranteed not to be there yet. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

stop passing nameidata to ->lookup()

2012-07-14T12:34:32+00:00

Just the flags; only NFS cares even about that, but there are legitimate uses for such argument. And getting rid of that completely would require splitting ->lookup() into a couple of methods (at least), so let's leave that alone for now... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

vfs: check i_nlink limits in vfs_{mkdir,rename_dir,link}

2012-03-21T01:29:32+00:00

New field of struct super_block - ->s_max_links. Maximal allowed value of ->i_nlink or 0; in the latter case all checks still need to be done in ->link/->mkdir/->rename instances. Note that this limit applies both to directoris and to non-directories. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

switch ->mknod() to umode_t

switch ->create() to umode_t

2012-01-04T03:54:53+00:00

vfs_create() ignores everything outside of 16bit subset of its mode argument; switching it to umode_t is obviously equivalent and it's the only caller of the method Signed-off-by: Al Viro

switch vfs_mkdir() and ->mkdir() to umode_t

2012-01-04T03:54:53+00:00

vfs_mkdir() gets int, but immediately drops everything that might not fit into umode_t and that's the only caller of ->mkdir()... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

make d_splice_alias(ERR_PTR(err), dentry) = ERR_PTR(err)

2011-07-20T05:44:26+00:00

... and simplify the living hell out of callers Signed-off-by: Al Viro
