SL*B: drop kmem cache argument from constructor

2008-07-26T19:00:07+00:00

Kmem cache passed to constructor is only needed for constructors that are
themselves multiplexeres.  Nobody uses this "feature", nor does anybody uses
passed kmem cache in non-trivial way, so pass only pointer to object.

Non-trivial places are:
	arch/powerpc/mm/init_64.c
	arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage.c

This is flag day, yes.

[PATCH] fix cgroup-inflicted breakage in block_dev.c

2008-06-23T12:30:55+00:00

devcgroup_inode_permission() expects MAY_FOO, not FMODE_FOO; kindly
keep your misdesign consistent if you positively have to inflict it
on the kernel.

devscgroup: check for device permissions at mount time

2008-06-06T18:29:11+00:00

Currently even if a task sits in an all-denied cgroup it can still mount
any block device in any mode it wants.

Put a proper check in do_open for block device to prevent this.

fs/block_dev.c: remove #if 0'ed code

    [PATCH] revert blockdev direct io back to 2.6.19 version

    Andrew Vasquez is reporting as-iosched oopses and a 65% throughput
    slowdown due to the recent special-casing of direct-io against
    blockdevs.  We don't know why either of these things are occurring.

    The patch minimally reverts us back to the 2.6.19 code for a 2.6.20
    release.

<--  snip  -->

It has since been dead code, and unless someone wants to revive it now
it's time to remove it.

This patch also makes bio_release_pages() static again and removes the
ki_bio_count member from struct kiocb, reverting changes that had been
done for this dead code.

Introduce path_put()

2008-02-15T05:13:33+00:00

* Add path_put() functions for releasing a reference to the dentry and
  vfsmount of a struct path in the right order

* Switch from path_release(nd) to path_put(&nd->path)

* Rename dput_path() to path_put_conditional()

Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}

2008-02-15T05:13:33+00:00

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
   pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

with patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.
