fs: Replace CURRENT_TIME_SEC with current_time() for inode timestamps

2016-09-28T01:06:22+00:00

CURRENT_TIME_SEC is not y2038 safe. current_time() will
be transitioned to use 64 bit time along with vfs in a
separate patch.
There is no plan to transistion CURRENT_TIME_SEC to use
y2038 safe time interfaces.

current_time() will also be extended to use superblock
range checking parameters when range checking is introduced.

This works because alloc_super() fills in the the s_time_gran
in super block to NSEC_PER_SEC.

wrappers for ->i_mutex access

2016-01-22T23:04:28+00:00

parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested},
inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).

Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held
only shared.

ext2: protect inode changes in the SETVERSION and SETFLAGS ioctls

2012-01-11T12:39:02+00:00

Unlock mutex after i_flags and i_ctime updates in the EXT2_IOC_SETFLAGS
ioctl.

Use i_mutex in the EXT2_IOC_SETVERSION ioctl to protect i_ctime and
i_generation updates and make the ioctl consistent since i_mutex is
also used in other places to protect timestamps and inode changes.

vfs: mnt_drop_write_file()

2012-01-04T03:52:40+00:00

new helper (wrapper around mnt_drop_write()) to be used in pair with
mnt_want_write_file().

Signed-off-by: Al Viro

switch a bunch of places to mnt_want_write_file()

2012-01-04T03:52:35+00:00

it's both faster (in case when file has been opened for write) and cleaner.

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)

ext2: tighten restrictions on inode flags

2009-01-08T16:31:00+00:00

At the moment there are few restrictions on which flags may be set on
which inodes.  Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and
IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links.  Tighten that to disallow
TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set
on non-regular file, non-directories.

Introduces a flags masking function which masks flags based on mode and
use it during inode creation and when flags are set via the ioctl to
facilitate future consistency.

[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: elevate write count for ioctls()

2008-04-19T04:29:24+00:00

Some ioctl()s can cause writes to the filesystem.  Take these, and make them
use mnt_want/drop_write() instead.
