a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning
an opaque pointer later passed to -&gt;put_link(), -&gt;follow_link() _stores_
that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns
the symlink body.  Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic
symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks.  Stored pointer
is ignored in all cases except the last one.

Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call
of -&gt;put_link().

b) the body used to be passed to -&gt;put_link() implicitly (via nameidata).
Now only the opaque pointer is.  In the cases when we used the symlink body
to free stuff, -&gt;follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition
to returning it.

<title>VFS: (Scripted) Convert S_ISLNK/DIR/REG(dentry-&gt;d_inode) to d_is_*(dentry)</title>
<updated>2015-02-22T16:38:41+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=e36cb0b89ce20b4f8786a57e8a6bc8476f577650'/>
<id>e36cb0b89ce20b4f8786a57e8a6bc8476f577650</id>
<content type='text'>
Convert the following where appropriate:

 (1) S_ISLNK(dentry-&gt;d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).

 (2) S_ISREG(dentry-&gt;d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).

 (3) S_ISDIR(dentry-&gt;d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry).  This is actually more
     complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
     d_can_lookup() instead.  The difference is whether the directory in
     question is a real dir with a -&gt;lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
     a -&gt;d_automount op.

In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry-&gt;d_inode not being
NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).

Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer.  In such a
case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
type of the lower dentry.

However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.

There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE.  Strictly, this was
intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.

The following perl+coccinelle script was used:

use strict;

my @callers;
open($fd, 'git grep -l \'S_IS[A-Z].*-&gt;d_inode\' |') ||
    die "Can't grep for S_ISDIR and co. callers";
@callers = &lt;$fd&gt;;
close($fd);
unless (@callers) {
    print "No matches\n";
    exit(0);
}

my @cocci = (
    '@@',
    'expression E;',
    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISLNK(E-&gt;d_inode-&gt;i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_symlink(E)',
    '',
    '@@',
    'expression E;',
    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISDIR(E-&gt;d_inode-&gt;i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_dir(E)',
    '',
    '@@',
    'expression E;',
    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISREG(E-&gt;d_inode-&gt;i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_reg(E)' );

my $coccifile = "tmp.sp.cocci";
open($fd, "&gt;$coccifile") || die $coccifile;
print($fd "$_\n") || die $coccifile foreach (@cocci);
close($fd);

foreach my $file (@callers) {
    chomp $file;
    print "Processing ", $file, "\n";
    system("spatch", "--sp-file", $coccifile, $file, "--in-place", "--no-show-diff") == 0 ||
	die "spatch failed";
}

<title>fuse: fix LOOKUP vs INIT compat handling</title>

Analysis from Marc:

 "Commit 7078187a795f ("fuse: introduce fuse_simple_request() helper")
  from the above pull request triggers some EIO errors for me in some tests
  that rely on fuse

  Looking at the code changes and a bit of debugging info I think there's a
  general problem here that fuse_get_req checks and possibly waits for
  fc-&gt;initialized, and this was always called first.  But this commit
  changes the ordering and in many places fc-&gt;minor is now possibly used
  before fuse_get_req, and we can't be sure that fc has been initialized.
  In my case fuse_lookup_init sets req-&gt;out.args[0].size to the wrong size
  because fc-&gt;minor at that point is still 0, leading to the EIO error."

Fix by moving the compat adjustments into fuse_simple_request() to after
fuse_get_req().

This is also more readable than the original, since now compatibility is
handled in a single function instead of cluttering each operation.

  The second part prepares for a cleanup of the fuse device I/O code by
  adding a helper for simple request submission, with some savings in
  line numbers already realized"

The following pattern is repeated many times:

	req = fuse_get_req_nopages(fc);
	/* Initialize req-&gt;(in|out).args */
	fuse_request_send(fc, req);
	err = req-&gt;out.h.error;
	fuse_put_request(req);

Create a new replacement helper:

	/* Initialize args */
	err = fuse_simple_request(fc, &amp;args);

In addition to reducing the code size, this will ease moving from the
complex arg-based to a simpler page-based I/O on the fuse device.
