dentry name snapshots

2017-08-06T16:21:11+00:00

commit 49d31c2f389acfe83417083e1208422b4091cd9e upstream. take_dentry_name_snapshot() takes a safe snapshot of dentry name; if the name is a short one, it gets copied into caller-supplied structure, otherwise an extra reference to external name is grabbed (those are never modified). In either case the pointer to stable string is stored into the same structure. dentry must be held by the caller of take_dentry_name_snapshot(), but may be freely dropped afterwards - the snapshot will stay until destroyed by release_dentry_name_snapshot(). Intended use: struct name_snapshot s; take_dentry_name_snapshot(&s, dentry); ... access s.name ... release_dentry_name_snapshot(&s); Replaces fsnotify_oldname_...(), gets used in fsnotify to obtain the name to pass down with event.

rcu: Separate the RCU synchronization types and APIs into

2017-03-02T07:42:24+00:00

So rcupdate.h is a pretty complex header, in particular it includes which includes - creating a dependency that includes in , which prevents the isolation of from the derived header. Solve part of the problem by decoupling rcupdate.h from completions: this can be done by separating out the rcu_synchronize types and APIs, and updating their usage sites. Since this is a mostly RCU-internal types this will not just simplify 's dependencies, but will make all the hundreds of .c files that include rcupdate.h but not completions or wait.h build faster. ( For rcutiny this means that two dependent APIs have to be uninlined, but that shouldn't be much of a problem as they are rare variants. ) Acked-by: Linus Torvalds Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul E.

vfs: remove unused have_submounts() function

2016-12-04T01:51:49+00:00

Now that path_has_submounts() has been added have_submounts() is no longer used so remove it.

vfs: add path_has_submounts()

2016-12-04T01:51:47+00:00

d_mountpoint() can only be used reliably to establish if a dentry is not mounted in any namespace. It isn't aware of the possibility there may be multiple mounts using the given dentry, possibly in a different namespace. Add function, path_has_submounts(), that checks is a struct path contains mounts (or is a mountpoint itself) to handle this case.

vfs: change d_manage() to take a struct path

2016-12-03T03:15:53+00:00

For the autofs module to be able to reliably check if a dentry is a mountpoint in a multiple namespace environment the ->d_manage() dentry operation will need to take a path argument instead of a dentry.

vfs: make argument of d_real_inode() const

2016-09-16T10:44:20+00:00

d_op->d_real() leaves the dentry alone except if the third argument is non-zero. Unfortunately very difficult to explain to the compiler without a cast. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Acked-by: Jeff Layton
