convert ibmasmfs

2025-11-16T06:35:04+00:00

static contents for each "service processor", whatever the fuck it is. Congruent subdirectories of root, created at mount time, taken out by kill_litter_super(). All dentries created with d_alloc_name() and are left pinned. The odd part is that the list of service providers is assumed to be unchanging - no locking, nothing to handle removals or extra elements added later on. ... and it's a PCI device. If you ever tell it to remove an instance, you are fucked - it doesn't bother with removing its directory from filesystem, it has a strange check that presumably wanted to be a check for removed devices, but it had never been fleshed out. Anyway, d_add() -> d_make_persistent()+dput() in ibmasmfs_create_dir() and ibmasmfs_create_file(), and make the latter return int - no need to even borrow that dentry, callers completely ignore it.

Pull Char/Misc/IIO/Binder updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of char/misc/iio and other driver subsystem changes for 6.18-rc1. Loads of different stuff in here, it was a busy development cycle in lots of different subsystems, with over 27k new lines added to the tree. Included in here are: - IIO updates including new drivers, reworking of existing apis, and other goodness in the sensor subsystems - MEI driver updates and additions - NVMEM driver updates - slimbus removal for an unused driver and some other minor updates - coresight driver updates and additions - MHI driver updates - comedi driver updates and fixes - extcon driver updates - interconnect driver additions - eeprom driver updates and fixes - minor UIO driver updates - tiny W1 driver updates But the majority of new code is in the rust bindings and additions, which includes: - misc driver rust binding updates for read/write support, we can now write "normal" misc drivers in rust fully, and the sample driver shows how this can be done. - Initial framework for USB driver rust bindings, which are disabled for now in the build, due to limited support, but coming in through this tree due to dependencies on other rust binding changes that were in here. I'll be enabling these back on in the build in the usb.git tree after -rc1 is out so that developers can continue to work on these in linux-next over the next development cycle. - Android Binder driver implemented in Rust. This is the big one, and was driving a huge majority of the rust binding work over the past years. Right now there are two binder drivers in the kernel, selected only at build time as to which one to use as binder wants to be included in the system at boot time. The binder C maintainers all agreed on this, as eventually, they want the C code to be removed from the tree, but it will take a few releases to get there while both are maintained to ensure that the rust implementation is fully stable and compliant with the existing userspace apis.

fs: rename generic_delete_inode() and generic_drop_inode()

2025-09-15T14:09:42+00:00

generic_delete_inode() is rather misleading for what the routine is doing. inode_just_drop() should be much clearer. The new naming is inconsistent with generic_drop_inode(), so rename that one as well with inode_ as the suffix. No functional changes.

ibm: convert to ctime accessor functions

In later patches, we're going to change how the inode's ctime field is used. Switch to using accessor functions instead of raw accesses of inode->i_ctime.

kernel.h: split out panic and oops helpers

2021-07-01T18:06:04+00:00

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time. Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and oops helpers. There are several purposes of doing this: - dropping dependency in bug.h - dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h - unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted indirected includes for existing users.
