ext4: remove readpage() check in ext4_mmap_file()

2014-07-15T13:56:19+00:00

There is no kind of file which does not supply a page reading function.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2014-06-12T17:30:18+00:00

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "This the bunch that sat in -next + lock_parent() fix.  This is the
  minimal set; there's more pending stuff.

  In particular, I really hope to get acct.c fixes merged this cycle -
  we need that to deal sanely with delayed-mntput stuff.  In the next
  pile, hopefully - that series is fairly short and localized
  (kernel/acct.c, fs/super.c and fs/namespace.c).  In this pile: more
  iov_iter work.  Most of prereqs for ->splice_write with sane locking
  order are there and Kent's dio rewrite would also fit nicely on top of
  this pile"

->splice_write() via ->write_iter()

2014-06-12T04:18:51+00:00

iter_file_splice_write() - a ->splice_write() instance that gathers the
pipe buffers, builds a bio_vec-based iov_iter covering those and feeds
it to ->write_iter().  A bunch of simple cases coverted to that...

ext4: make local functions static

I have been running make namespacecheck to look for unneeded globals, and
found these in ext4.

convert ext4 to ->write_iter()

2014-05-06T21:39:36+00:00

unfortunately, Ted's changes to ext4_file_write() are *still* an
incomplete fix - playing with rlimits can let you smuggle an
unaligned request past the checks.  So there almost certainly
will be more merge PITA around that place...

ext4: fix locking for O_APPEND writes

2014-04-21T18:37:52+00:00

Al Viro pointed out that locking for O_APPEND writes was problematic,
since the location of the write isn't known until after we take the
i_mutex, which impacts the ext4_unaligned_aio() and s_bitmap_maxbytes
check.

For O_APPEND always assume that the write is unaligned so call
ext4_unwritten_wait().  And to solve the second problem, take the
i_mutex earlier before we start the s_bitmap_maxbytes check.

ext4: factor out common code in ext4_file_write()

2014-04-21T18:36:30+00:00

This shouldn't change any logic flow; just delete duplicated code.
