Detach sched.h from mm.h

2007-05-21T16:18:19+00:00

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

inode numbering: change libfs sb creation routines to avoid collisions with their root inodes

2007-05-08T18:15:16+00:00

This patch makes it so that simple_fill_super and get_sb_pseudo assign their
root inodes to be number 1.  It also fixes up a couple of callers of
simple_fill_super that were passing in files arrays that had an index at
number 1, and adds a warning for any caller that sends in such an array.

It would have been nice to have made it so that it wasn't possible to make
such a collision, but some callers need to be able to control what inode
number their entries get, so I think this is the best that can be done.

[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls

2006-12-13T17:05:58+00:00

Run this:

	#!/bin/sh
	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
	  echo "De-casting $f..."
	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

[PATCH] VFS: change struct file to use struct path

2006-12-08T16:28:41+00:00

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.

[PATCH] Fix unserialized task->files changing

2006-09-29T16:18:12+00:00

Fixed race on put_files_struct on exec with proc.  Restoring files on
current on error path may lead to proc having a pointer to already kfree-d
files_struct.

->files changing at exit.c and khtread.c are safe as exit_files() makes all
things under lock.

Found during OpenVZ stress testing.

[PATCH] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structure

2006-09-27T15:26:18+00:00

This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode.  Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.

Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.

[PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private

2006-09-27T15:26:17+00:00

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).

This patch:

The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.
