consolidate simple ->d_delete() instances

2013-11-16T03:04:17+00:00

Rename simple_delete_dentry() to always_delete_dentry() and export it. Export simple_dentry_operations, while we are at it, and get rid of their duplicates Signed-off-by: Al Viro

locks: break delegations on any attribute modification

locks: helper functions for delegation breaking

2013-11-09T05:16:42+00:00

We'll need the same logic for rename and link. Acked-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields Signed-off-by: Al Viro

locks: break delegations on unlink

2013-11-09T05:16:42+00:00

We need to break delegations on any operation that changes the set of links pointing to an inode. Start with unlink. Such operations also hold the i_mutex on a parent directory. Breaking a delegation may require waiting for a timeout (by default 90 seconds) in the case of a unresponsive NFS client. To avoid blocking all directory operations, we therefore drop locks before waiting for the delegation. The logic then looks like: acquire locks ... test for delegation; if found: take reference on inode release locks wait for delegation break drop reference on inode retry It is possible this could never terminate. (Even if we take precautions to prevent another delegation being acquired on the same inode, we could get a different inode on each retry.) But this seems very unlikely. The initial test for a delegation happens after the lock on the target inode is acquired, but the directory inode may have been acquired further up the call stack. We therefore add a "struct inode **" argument to any intervening functions, which we use to pass the inode back up to the caller in the case it needs a delegation synchronously broken.

locks: implement delegations

2013-11-09T05:16:41+00:00

Implement NFSv4 delegations at the vfs level using the new FL_DELEG lock type. Note nfsd is the only delegation user and is only using read delegations. Warn on any attempt to set a write delegation for now. We'll come back to that case later. Acked-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields Signed-off-by: Al Viro

locks: introduce new FL_DELEG lock flag

2013-11-09T05:16:41+00:00

For now FL_DELEG is just a synonym for FL_LEASE. So this patch doesn't change behavior. Next we'll modify break_lease to treat FL_DELEG leases differently, to account for the fact that NFSv4 delegations should be broken in more situations than Windows oplocks.

vfs: rename I_MUTEX_QUOTA now that it's not used for quotas

2013-11-09T05:16:40+00:00

I_MUTEX_QUOTA is now just being used whenever we want to lock two non-directories. So the name isn't right. I_MUTEX_NONDIR2 isn't especially elegant but it's the best I could think of. Also fix some outdated documentation. Acked-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields Signed-off-by: Al Viro
