2013-11-09VFS: Put a small type field into struct dentry::d_flagsDavid Howells3-82/+158
Put a type field into struct dentry::d_flags to indicate if the dentry is one of the following types that relate particularly to pathwalk: Miss (negative dentry) Directory "Automount" directory (defective - no i_op->lookup()) Symlink Other (regular, socket, fifo, device) The type field is set to one of the first five types on a dentry by calls to __d_instantiate() and d_obtain_alias() from information in the inode (if one is given). The type is cleared by dentry_unlink_inode() when it reconstitutes an existing dentry as a negative dentry. Accessors provided are: d_set_type(dentry, type) d_is_directory(dentry) d_is_autodir(dentry) d_is_symlink(dentry) d_is_file(dentry) d_is_negative(dentry) d_is_positive(dentry) A bunch of checks in pathname resolution switched to those.

Don't abuse anon_inodes.c to host private files needed by aio; we can bloody well declare a mini-fs of our own instead of patching up what anon_inodes can create for us.

... and deal with short writes properly - the output might be to pipe, after all; as it is, e.g. no-MMU case of elf_fdpic coredump can write a whole lot more than a page worth of data at one call. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2013-11-09RCU'd vfsmountsAl Viro6-83/+136
* RCU-delayed freeing of vfsmounts * vfsmount_lock replaced with a seqlock (mount_lock) * sequence number from mount_lock is stored in nameidata->m_seq and used when we exit RCU mode * new vfsmount flag - MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT. Set by umount_tree() when its caller knows that vfsmount will have no surviving references. * synchronize_rcu() done between unlocking namespace_sem in namespace_unlock() and doing pending mntput(). * new helper: legitimize_mnt(mnt, seq). Checks the mount_lock sequence number against seq, then grabs reference to mnt. Then it rechecks mount_lock again to close the race and either returns success or drops the reference it has acquired. The subtle point is that in case of MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT we can simply decrement the refcount and sod off - aforementioned synchronize_rcu() makes sure that final mntput() won't come until we leave RCU mode. We need that, since we don't want to end up with some lazy pathwalk racing with umount() and stealing the final mntput() from it - caller of umount() may expect it to return only once the fs is shut down and we don't want to break that. In other cases (i.e. with MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT absent) we have to do full-blown mntput() in case of mount_lock sequence number mismatch happening just as we'd grabbed the reference, but in those cases we won't be stealing the final mntput() from anything that would care. * mntput_no_expire() doesn't lock anything on the fast path now. Incidentally, SMP and UP cases are handled the same way - no ifdefs there. * normal pathname resolution does *not* do any writes to mount_lock. It does, of course, bump the refcounts of vfsmount and dentry in the very end, but that's it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
