ncpfs: don't allow negative timeouts

2015-11-21T00:17:32+00:00

This code causes a static checker warning because it's a user controlled
variable where we cap the upper bound but not the lower bound.  Let's
return an -EINVAL for negative timeouts.

fs/ncpfs/dir.c: remove unnecessary new_valid_dev() check

2015-11-09T23:11:24+00:00

new_valid_dev() always returns 1, so the !new_valid_dev() check is not
needed.  Remove it.

fs: Drop unlikely before IS_ERR(_OR_NULL)

2015-09-29T13:13:58+00:00

IS_ERR(_OR_NULL) already contain an 'unlikely' compiler flag and there
is no need to do that again from its callers. Drop it.

VFS: normal filesystems (and lustre): d_inode() annotations

that's the bulk of filesystem drivers dealing with inodes of their own

switch generic_write_checks() to iocb and iter

2015-04-12T02:30:21+00:00

... returning -E... upon error and amount of data left in iter after
(possible) truncation upon success.  Note, that normal case gives
a non-zero (positive) return value, so any tests for != 0 _must_ be
updated.

generic_write_checks(): drop isblk argument

all remaining callers are passing 0; some just obscure that fact.

make new_sync_{read,write}() static

2015-04-12T02:29:40+00:00

All places outside of core VFS that checked ->read and ->write for being NULL or
called the methods directly are gone now, so NULL {read,write} with non-NULL
{read,write}_iter will do the right thing in all cases.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2015-02-17T22:56:45+00:00

Pull misc VFS updates from Al Viro:
 "This cycle a lot of stuff sits on topical branches, so I'll be sending
  more or less one pull request per branch.

  This is the first pile; more to follow in a few.  In this one are
  several misc commits from early in the cycle (before I went for
  separate branches), plus the rework of mntput/dput ordering on umount,
  switching to use of fs_pin instead of convoluted games in
  namespace_unlock()"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  switch the IO-triggering parts of umount to fs_pin
  new fs_pin killing logics
  allow attaching fs_pin to a group not associated with some superblock
  get rid of the second argument of acct_kill()
  take count and rcu_head out of fs_pin
  dcache: let the dentry count go down to zero without taking d_lock
  pull bumping refcount into ->kill()
  kill pin_put()
  mode_t whack-a-mole: chelsio
  file->f_path.dentry is pinned down for as long as the file is open...
  get rid of lustre_dump_dentry()
  gut proc_register() a bit
  kill d_validate()
  ncpfs: get rid of d_validate() nonsense
  selinuxfs: don't open-code d_genocide()
