fs: add for 'init_fs'

2026-03-04T12:19:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit 589cff4975afe1a4eaaa1d961652f50b1628d78d ] The init_fs symbol is defined in but was not included in fs/fs_struct.c so fix by adding the include. Fixes the following sparse warning: fs/fs_struct.c:150:18: warning: symbol 'init_fs' was not declared. Should it be static?

kill do_each_thread()

2023-08-21T20:46:25+00:00

Eric has pointed out that we still have 3 users of do_each_thread(). Change them to use for_each_process_thread() and kill this helper. There is a subtle change, after do_each_thread/while_each_thread g == t == &init_task, while after for_each_process_thread() they both point to nowhere, but this doesn't matter. > Why is for_each_process_thread() better than do_each_thread()? Say, for_each_process_thread() is rcu safe, do_each_thread() is not. And certainly for_each_process_thread(p, t) { do_something(p, t); } looks better than do_each_thread(p, t) { do_something(p, t); } while_each_thread(p, t); And again, there are only 3 users of this awkward helper left. It should have been killed years ago and in fact I thought it had already been killed. It uses while_each_thread() which needs some changes.

vfs: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock

2020-07-29T14:14:27+00:00

A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some form of locking to serialize writers. A plain seqcount_t does not contain the information of which lock must be held when entering a write side critical section. Use the new seqcount_spinlock_t data type, which allows to associate a spinlock with the sequence counter. This enables lockdep to verify that the spinlock used for writer serialization is held when the write side critical section is entered. If lockdep is disabled this lock association is compiled out and has neither storage size nor runtime overhead. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:35+00:00

We are going to split out of , which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder file that just maps to to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

seqcount: Add lockdep functionality to seqcount/seqlock structures

2013-11-06T11:40:26+00:00

Currently seqlocks and seqcounts don't support lockdep. After running across a seqcount related deadlock in the timekeeping code, I used a less-refined and more focused variant of this patch to narrow down the cause of the issue. This is a first-pass attempt to properly enable lockdep functionality on seqlocks and seqcounts. Since seqcounts are used in the vdso gettimeofday code, I've provided non-lockdep accessors for those needs. I've also handled one case where there were nested seqlock writers and there may be more edge cases. Comments and feedback would be appreciated!

get rid of ->mnt_longterm

2012-07-14T12:32:47+00:00

it's enough to set ->mnt_ns of internal vfsmounts to something distinct from all struct mnt_namespace out there; then we can just use the check for ->mnt_ns != NULL in the fast path of mntput_no_expire() Signed-off-by: Al Viro
