2008-02-07VFS: factor out three helpers for FIBMAP/FIONBIO/FIOASYNC file ioctlsErez Zadok1-54/+75
Factor out file-specific ioctl code into smaller helper functions, away from file_ioctl(). This helps code readability and also reduces indentation inside case statements.

2008-02-07VFS: swap do_ioctl and vfs_ioctl namesErez Zadok1-8/+20
Rename old vfs_ioctl to do_ioctl, because the comment above it clearly indicates that it is an internal function not to be exported to modules; therefore it should have a more traditional do_XXX name. The new do_ioctl is exported in fs.h but not to modules. Rename the old do_ioctl to vfs_ioctl because the names vfs_XXX should preferably be reserved to callable VFS functions which modules may call, as many other vfs_XXX functions already do. Export the new vfs_ioctl to GPL modules so others can use it (including Unionfs and eCryptfs). Add DocBook for new vfs_ioctl.

2007-07-16drop obsolete sys_ioctl exportChristoph Hellwig1-8/+0
sys_ioctl() was only exported for our first version of compat ioctl handling. Now that the whole compat ioctl handling mess is more or less sorted out there are no more modular users left and we can kill it. There's one exception and that's sparc64's solaris compat module, but sparc64 has it's own export predating the generic one by years for that which this patch leaves untouched.

2007-06-05vanishing ioctl handler debuggingAndrew Morton1-3/+11
We've had several reoprts of the CPU jumping to 0x00000000 is do_ioctl(). I assume that there's a race and someone is zeroing out the ioctl handler while this CPU waits for the lock_kernel(). The patch adds code to detect this, then emits stuff which will hopefuly lead us to the culprit.

2006-12-08[PATCH] VFS: change struct file to use struct pathJosef "Jeff" Sipek1-7/+7
This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}. Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
