fs/hpfs: Fix error code for new_inode() failure in mkdir/create/mknod/symlink

2025-11-24T09:29:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit 32058c38d3b79a28963a59ac0353644dc24775cd ] The function call new_inode() is a primitive for allocating an inode in memory, rather than planning disk space for it. Therefore, -ENOMEM should be returned as the error code rather than -ENOSPC. To be specific, new_inode()'s call path looks like this: new_inode new_inode_pseudo alloc_inode ops->alloc_inode (hpfs_alloc_inode) alloc_inode_sb kmem_cache_alloc_lru Therefore, the failure of new_inode() indicates a memory presure issue (-ENOMEM), not a lack of disk space. However, the current implementation of hpfs_mkdir/create/mknod/symlink incorrectly returns -ENOSPC when new_inode() fails. This patch fix this by set err to -ENOMEM before the goto statement. BTW, we also noticed that other nested calls within these four functions, like hpfs_alloc_f/dnode and hpfs_add_dirent, might also fail due to memory presure. But similarly, only -ENOSPC is returned. Addressing these will involve code modifications in other functions, and we plan to submit dedicated patches for these issues in the future. For this patch, we focus on new_inode().

fs: add CONFIG_BUFFER_HEAD

2023-08-02T15:13:09+00:00

Add a new config option that controls building the buffer_head code, and select it from all file systems and stacking drivers that need it. For the block device nodes and alternative iomap based buffered I/O path is provided when buffer_head support is not enabled, and iomap needs a a small tweak to define the IOMAP_F_BUFFER_HEAD flag to 0 to not call into the buffer_head code when it doesn't exist. Otherwise this is just Kconfig and ifdef changes.

hpfs: convert to ctime accessor functions

2023-07-24T08:30:00+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Message-Id: <20230705190309.579783-49-jlayton@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner

fs: port ->rename() to pass mnt_idmap

2023-01-19T08:24:26+00:00

Convert to struct mnt_idmap. Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap. Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for bugs. Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems only operate on struct mnt_idmap.
