isofs: don't bother with ->d_op for normal case

we only need it for joliet and case-insensitive mounts 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.

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

isofs: Remove global fs lock

2011-07-22T23:42:12+00:00

sbi->s_mutex isn't needed for isofs at all so we can just remove it. Generally, since isofs is always mounted read-only, filesystem structure cannot change under us. So buffer_head contents stays constant after it's filled in. That leaves us with possible changes of global data structures. Superblock changes only during filesystem mount (even remount does not change it), inodes are only filled in during reading from disk. So there are no changes of these structures to bother about. Arguments why sbi->s_mutex can be removed at each place: isofs_readdir: Accesses sb, inode, filp, local variables => s_mutex not needed isofs_lookup: Protected by directory's i_mutex. Accesses sb, inode, dentry, local variables => s_mutex not needed rock_ridge_symlink_readpage: Protected by page lock. Accesses sb, inode, local variables => s_mutex not needed.

fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup path

2011-01-07T06:50:28+00:00

Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them. This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we have d_op but not the particular operation. Patched with: git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

fs: change d_compare for rcu-walk

2011-01-07T06:50:19+00:00

Change d_compare so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. This does put significant restrictions on what may be done from the callback, however there don't seem to have been any problems with in-tree fses. If some strange use case pops up that _really_ cannot cope with the rcu-walk rules, we can just add new rcu-unaware callbacks, which would cause name lookup to drop out of rcu-walk mode. For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

BKL: Remove BKL from isofs

2010-10-04T19:10:45+00:00

As in other file systems, we can replace the big kernel lock with a private mutex in isofs. This means we can now access multiple file systems concurrently, but it also means that we serialize readdir and lookup across sleeping operations which previously released the big kernel lock. This should not matter though, as these operations are in practice serialized through the hardware access. The isofs_get_blocks functions now does not take any lock any more, it used to recursively get the BKL. After looking at the code for hours, I convinced myself that it was never needed here anyway, because it only reads constant fields of the inode and writes to a buffer head array that is at this time only visible to the caller. The get_sb and fill_super operations do not need the locking at all because they operate on a file system that is either about to be created or to be destroyed but in either case is not visible to other threads.
