2012-07-14	don't pass nameidata to ->create()	Al Viro	1	-1/+1
	boolean "does it have to be exclusive?" flag is passed instead; Local filesystem should just ignore it - the object is guaranteed not to be there yet. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-07-14	stop passing nameidata to ->lookup()	Al Viro	1	-1/+1
	Just the flags; only NFS cares even about that, but there are legitimate uses for such argument. And getting rid of that completely would require splitting ->lookup() into a couple of methods (at least), so let's leave that alone for now... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-03-21	vfs: check i_nlink limits in vfs_{mkdir,rename_dir,link}	Al Viro	1	-12/+1
	New field of struct super_block - ->s_max_links. Maximal allowed value of ->i_nlink or 0; in the latter case all checks still need to be done in ->link/->mkdir/->rename instances. Note that this limit applies both to directoris and to non-directories. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-01-04	switch ->mknod() to umode_t	Al Viro	1	-1/+1
	Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-01-04	switch ->create() to umode_t	Al Viro	1	-1/+1
	vfs_create() ignores everything outside of 16bit subset of its mode argument; switching it to umode_t is obviously equivalent and it's the only caller of the method Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-01-04	switch vfs_mkdir() and ->mkdir() to umode_t	Al Viro	1	-1/+1
	vfs_mkdir() gets int, but immediately drops everything that might not fit into umode_t and that's the only caller of ->mkdir()... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-20	make d_splice_alias(ERR_PTR(err), dentry) = ERR_PTR(err)	Al Viro	1	-6/+1
	... and simplify the living hell out of callers Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-03-03	exofs: i_nlink races in rename()	Al Viro	1	-6/+2
	Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2010-10-26	new helper: ihold()	Al Viro	1	-1/+1
	Clones an existing reference to inode; caller must already hold one. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-06-21	exofs: Remove IBM copyrights	Boaz Harrosh	1	-3/+1
	Boaz, Congrats on getting all the OSD stuff into 2.6.30! I just pulled the git, and saw that the IBM copyrights are still there. Please remove them from all files: * Copyright (C) 2005, 2006 * International Business Machines IBM has revoked all rights on the code - they gave it to me. Thanks!

2009-03-31	exofs: dir_inode and directory operations	Boaz Harrosh	1	-0/+342
	implementation of directory and inode operations. * A directory is treated as a file, and essentially contains a list of <file name, inode #> pairs for files that are found in that directory. The object IDs correspond to the files' inode numbers and are allocated using a 64bit incrementing global counter. * Each file's control block (AKA on-disk inode) is stored in its object's attributes. This applies to both regular files and other types (directories, device files, symlinks, etc.). Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
