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.

crash_dump, nvme: select CONFIGFS_FS as built-in

2025-05-28T02:40:33+00:00

Configfs can be configured as a loadable module, which causes a link-time failure for dm-crypt crash dump support: crash_dump_dm_crypt.c:(.text+0x3a4): undefined reference to `config_item_init_type_name' aarch64-linux-ld: kernel/crash_dump_dm_crypt.o: in function `configfs_dmcrypt_keys_init': crash_dump_dm_crypt.c:(.init.text+0x90): undefined reference to `config_group_init' aarch64-linux-ld: crash_dump_dm_crypt.c:(.init.text+0xb4): undefined reference to `configfs_register_subsystem' aarch64-linux-ld: crash_dump_dm_crypt.c:(.init.text+0xd8): undefined reference to `configfs_unregister_subsystem' This could be avoided with a dependency on CONFIGFS_FS=y, but the dependency has an additional problem of causing Kconfig dependency loops since most other uses select the symbol. Using a simple 'select CONFIGFS_FS' here in turn fails with CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=m, because that still only causes configfs to be a loadable module. The only version I found that fixes this reliably uses an additional Kconfig symbol to ensure the 'select' actually turns on configfs as builtin, with two additional changes to avoid dependency loops with nvme and sysfs. There is no compile-time dependency between configfs and sysfs, so selecting configfs from a driver with sysfs disabled does not cause link failures, only the default /sys/kernel/config mount point will not be created.

configfs: Correct error value returned by API config_item_set_name()

2025-05-09T08:11:13+00:00

kvasprintf() failure is often caused by memory allocation which has error code -ENOMEM, but config_item_set_name() returns -EFAULT for the failure. Fix by returning -ENOMEM instead of -EFAULT for the failure.
