linux-stable.git/fs/stat.c, branch v4.10.2

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

vfs: replace calling i_op->readlink with vfs_readlink()

2016-12-09T15:45:04+00:00

Also check d_is_symlink() in callers instead of inode->i_op->readlink
because following patches will allow NULL ->readlink for symlinks.

fs/stat.c: drop the last new_valid_dev check

2016-01-16T19:17:23+00:00

New_valid_dev() always returns true, so that's unnecessary to perform
new_valid_dev() checks in some filesystems.  Most checks of
new_valid_dev() have been removed so let's drop this last one and then
we can remove new_valid_dev() from the source code.

No functional change.

fs/stat.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.

ext4 needs to convert allocated (metadata) blocks back into blocks
reserved for delayed allocation. Add functions into quota code for
supporting such operation.
