vfs: remove unused wrapper block_page_mkwrite()

2015-11-11T07:19:33+00:00

The function currently called "__block_page_mkwrite()" used to be called "block_page_mkwrite()" until a wrapper for this function was added by: commit 24da4fab5a61 ("vfs: Create __block_page_mkwrite() helper passing error values back") This wrapper, the current "block_page_mkwrite()", is currently unused. __block_page_mkwrite() is used directly by ext4, nilfs2 and xfs. Remove the unused wrapper, rename __block_page_mkwrite() back to block_page_mkwrite() and update the comment above block_page_mkwrite().

All places outside of core VFS that checked ->read and ->write for being NULL or called the methods directly are gone now, so NULL {read,write} with non-NULL {read,write}_iter will do the right thing in all cases. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

nilfs2: avoid duplicate segment construction for fsync()

2014-12-11T01:41:16+00:00

This patch removes filemap_write_and_wait_range() from nilfs_sync_file(), because it triggers a data segment construction by calling nilfs_writepages() with WB_SYNC_ALL. A data segment construction does not remove the inode from the i_dirty list and it does not clear the NILFS_I_DIRTY flag. Therefore nilfs_inode_dirty() still returns true, which leads to an unnecessary duplicate segment construction in nilfs_sync_file(). A call to filemap_write_and_wait_range() is not needed, because NILFS2 does not rely on the generic writeback mechanisms. Instead it implements its own mechanism to collect all dirty pages and write them into segments. It is more efficient to initiate the segment construction directly in nilfs_sync_file() without the detour over filemap_write_and_wait_range(). Additionally the lock of i_mutex is not needed, because all code blocks that are protected by i_mutex are also protected by a NILFS transaction: Function i_mutex nilfs_transaction ------------------------------------------------------ nilfs_ioctl_setflags: yes yes nilfs_fiemap: yes no nilfs_write_begin: yes yes nilfs_write_end: yes yes nilfs_lookup: yes no nilfs_create: yes yes nilfs_link: yes yes nilfs_mknod: yes yes nilfs_symlink: yes yes nilfs_mkdir: yes yes nilfs_unlink: yes yes nilfs_rmdir: yes yes nilfs_rename: yes yes nilfs_setattr: yes yes For nilfs_lookup() i_mutex is held for the parent directory, to protect it from modification. The segment construction does not modify directory inodes, so no lock is needed. nilfs_fiemap() reads the block layout on the disk, by using nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig(). This is already protected by bmap->b_sem. Signed-off-by: Andreas Rohner Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

nilfs2: add missing blkdev_issue_flush() to nilfs_sync_fs()

2014-10-14T00:18:20+00:00

Under normal circumstances nilfs_sync_fs() writes out the super block, which causes a flush of the underlying block device. But this depends on the THE_NILFS_SB_DIRTY flag, which is only set if the pointer to the last segment crosses a segment boundary. So if only a small amount of data is written before the call to nilfs_sync_fs(), no flush of the block device occurs. In the above case an additional call to blkdev_issue_flush() is needed. To prevent unnecessary overhead, the new flag nilfs->ns_flushed_device is introduced, which is cleared whenever new logs are written and set whenever the block device is flushed. For convenience the function nilfs_flush_device() is added, which contains the above logic.

mm: implement ->map_pages for page cache

2014-04-07T23:35:53+00:00

filemap_map_pages() is generic implementation of ->map_pages() for filesystems who uses page cache. It should be safe to use filemap_map_pages() for ->map_pages() if filesystem use filemap_fault() for ->fault(). Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro: "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent locking violations, etc. The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with "has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file to inode.
