reiserfs: rename p_._ variables

2009-03-30T19:16:40+00:00

This patch is a simple s/p_._//g to the reiserfs code.  This is the
fifth in a series of patches to rip out some of the awful variable
naming in reiserfs.

reiserfs: add atomic addition of selinux attributes during inode creation

2009-03-30T19:16:39+00:00

Some time ago, some changes were made to make security inode attributes
be atomically written during inode creation.  ReiserFS fell behind in
this area, but with the reworking of the xattr code, it's now fairly
easy to add.

The following patch adds the ability for security attributes to be added
automatically during inode creation.

reiserfs: use generic readdir for operations across all xattrs

2009-03-30T19:16:38+00:00

The current reiserfs xattr implementation open codes reiserfs_readdir
and frees the path before calling the filldir function.  Typically, the
filldir function is something that modifies the file system, such as a
chown or an inode deletion that also require reading of an inode
associated with each direntry.  Since the file system is modified, the
path retained becomes invalid for the next run.  In addition, it runs
backwards in attempt to minimize activity.

This is clearly suboptimal from a code cleanliness perspective as well
as performance-wise.

This patch implements a generic reiserfs_for_each_xattr that uses the
generic readdir and a specific filldir routine that simply populates an
array of dentries and then performs a specific operation on them.  When
all files have been operated on, it then calls the operation on the
directory itself.

The result is a noticable code reduction and better performance.

reiserfs: journaled xattrs

2009-03-30T19:16:38+00:00

Deadlocks are possible in the xattr code between the journal lock and the
xattr sems.

This patch implements journalling for xattr operations. The benefit is
twofold:
 * It gets rid of the deadlock possibility by always ensuring that xattr
   write operations are initiated inside a transaction.
 * It corrects the problem where xattr backing files aren't considered any
   differently than normal files, despite the fact they are metadata.

I discussed the added journal load with Chris Mason, and we decided that
since xattrs (versus other journal activity) is fairly rare, the introduction
of larger transactions to support journaled xattrs wouldn't be too big a deal.

reiserfs: eliminate per-super xattr lock

2009-03-30T19:16:38+00:00

With the switch to using inode->i_mutex locking during lookups/creation
in the xattr root, the per-super xattr lock is no longer needed.

This patch removes it.
