[PATCH vfs-2.6 2/6] vfs: add d_ancestor()

2008-10-23T09:13:16+00:00

This adds d_ancestor() instead of d_isparent(), then use it. If new_dentry == old_dentry, is_subdir() returns 1, looks strange. "new_dentry == old_dentry" is not subdir obviously. But I'm not checking callers for now, so this keeps current behavior. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi

[PATCH] kill d_alloc_anon

[PATCH] new helper: d_obtain_alias

2008-10-23T09:13:00+00:00

The calling conventions of d_alloc_anon are rather unfortunate for all users, and it's name is not very descriptive either. Add d_obtain_alias as a new exported helper that drops the inode reference in the failure case, too and allows to pass-through NULL pointers and inodes to allow for tail-calls in the export operations. Incidentally this helper already existed as a private function in libfs.c as exportfs_d_alloc so kill that one and switch the callers to d_obtain_alias.

[PATCH] change d_add_ci argument ordering

2008-08-25T05:18:05+00:00

As pointed out during review d_add_ci argument order should match d_add, so switch the dentry and inode arguments. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

dcache: Add case-insensitive support d_ci_add() routine

2008-07-28T06:58:39+00:00

This add a dcache entry to the dcache for lookup, but changing the name that is associated with the entry rather than the one passed in to the lookup routine. First, it sees if the case-exact match already exists in the dcache and uses it if one exists. Otherwise, it allocates a new node with the new name and splices it into the dcache.

rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected lists into rculist.h

2008-05-19T08:01:37+00:00

Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h. This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this list.h without creating some circular dependencies. For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference() without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but aren't probably because of this. Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to many changes/troubles.

Remove "#ifdef KERNEL" checks from unexported headers

[patch 2/7] vfs: mountinfo: add seq_file_root()

2008-04-23T04:04:38+00:00

Add a new function: seq_file_root() This is similar to seq_path(), but calculates the path relative to the given root, instead of current->fs->root. If the path was unreachable from root, then modify the root parameter to reflect this. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Signed-off-by: Al Viro
