Merge branch 'work.const-qstr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2016-08-06T13:49:02+00:00

Pull qstr constification updates from Al Viro:
 "Fairly self-contained bunch - surprising lot of places passes struct
  qstr * as an argument when const struct qstr * would suffice; it
  complicates analysis for no good reason.

  I'd prefer to feed that separately from the assorted fixes (those are
  in #for-linus and with somewhat trickier topology)"

Merge branch 'salted-string-hash'

2016-07-28T19:26:31+00:00

This changes the vfs dentry hashing to mix in the parent pointer at the
_beginning_ of the hash, rather than at the end.

That actually improves both the hash and the code generation, because we
can move more of the computation to the "static" part of the dcache
setup, and do less at lookup runtime.

It turns out that a lot of other hash users also really wanted to mix in
a base pointer as a 'salt' for the hash, and so the slightly extended
interface ends up working well for other cases too.

Users that want a string hash that is purely about the string pass in a
'salt' pointer of NULL.

  fs/dcache.c: Save one 32-bit multiply in dcache lookup
  vfs: make the string hashes salt the hash

Use the right predicate in ->atomic_open() instances

2016-07-05T20:02:23+00:00

->atomic_open() can be given an in-lookup dentry *or* a negative one
found in dcache.  Use d_in_lookup() to tell one from another, rather
than d_unhashed().

fuse: serialize dirops by default

2016-06-30T11:10:49+00:00

Negotiate with userspace filesystems whether they support parallel readdir
and lookup.  Disable parallelism by default for fear of breaking fuse
filesystems.

vfs: make the string hashes salt the hash

2016-06-11T03:21:46+00:00

We always mixed in the parent pointer into the dentry name hash, but we
did it late at lookup time.  It turns out that we can simplify that
lookup-time action by salting the hash with the parent pointer early
instead of late.

A few other users of our string hashes also wanted to mix in their own
pointers into the hash, and those are updated to use the same mechanism.

Hash users that don't have any particular initial salt can just use the
NULL pointer as a no-salt.

switch ->setxattr() to passing dentry and inode separately

2016-05-28T00:09:16+00:00

smack ->d_instantiate() uses ->setxattr(), so to be able to call it before
we'd hashed the new dentry and attached it to inode, we need ->setxattr()
instances getting the inode as an explicit argument rather than obtaining
it from dentry.

Similar change for ->getxattr() had been done in commit ce23e64.  Unlike
->getxattr() (which is used by both selinux and smack instances of
->d_instantiate()) ->setxattr() is used only by smack one and unfortunately
it got missed back then.

Switch dcache pre-seeding on readdir to d_alloc_parallel();

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.
