BFS: clean up the superblock usage

2010-08-09T20:48:53+00:00

BFS is a very simple FS and its superblocks contains only static
information and is never changed. However, the BFS code for some
misterious reasons marked its buffer head as dirty from time to
time, but nothing in that buffer was ever changed.

This patch removes all the BFS superblock manipulation, simply
because it is not needed. It removes:

1. The si_sbh filed from 'struct bfs_sb_info' because it is not
   needed. We only need to read the SB once on mount to get the
   start of data blocks and the FS size. After this, we can forget
   about the SB.
2. All instances of 'mark_buffer_dirty(sbh)' for BFS SB because
   it is never changed.
3. The '->sync_fs()' method because there is nothing to sync
   (inodes are synched by VFS).
4. The '->write_super()' method, again, because the SB is never
   changed.

get rid of block_write_begin_newtrunc

2010-08-09T20:47:33+00:00

Move the call to vmtruncate to get rid of accessive blocks to the callers
in preparation of the new truncate sequence and rename the non-truncating
version to block_write_begin.

While we're at it also remove several unused arguments to block_write_begin.

rename the generic fsync implementations

2010-05-28T02:06:06+00:00

We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
which can lead to some confusion.

This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
what to expect.  In addition add some documentation for both methods.

pass writeback_control to ->write_inode

2010-03-05T18:25:52+00:00

This gives the filesystem more information about the writeback that
is happening.  Trond requested this for the NFS unstable write handling,
and other filesystems might benefit from this too by beeing able to
distinguish between the different callers in more detail.

headers: smp_lock.h redux

2009-07-12T19:22:34+00:00

* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
* Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
* Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
  It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

  This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
  (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)
