[PATCH] uml: fix compilation problems

2007-03-29T15:22:25+00:00

Fix a few miscellaneous compilation problems -
	an assignment with mismatched types in ldt.c
	a missing include in mconsole.h which needs a definition of uml_pt_regs
	I missed removing an include of user_util.h in hostfs

[PATCH] uml: hostfs: make hostfs= option work as a jail, as intended.

2007-03-08T15:38:21+00:00

When a given host directory is specified to be mounted both in hostfs=path1
and with mount option -o path2, we should give access to path1/path2, but this
does not happen.  Fix that in the simpler way.

Also, root_ino can be the empty string, since we use %s/%s as format.

[PATCH] uml: hostfs: fix double free

2007-03-08T15:38:21+00:00

Fix double free in the error path - when name is assigned into root_inode we
do not own it any more and we must not kfree() it - see patch for details.

Thanks to William Stearns for the initial report.

[PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 2

2007-02-12T17:48:46+00:00

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

[PATCH] uml: fix mknod

2007-01-30T16:26:44+00:00

Fix UML hostfs mknod(): userspace has differernt dev_t size and encoding
than kernel, so extract major/minor and reencode using glibc makedev()
macro.

[PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanups

2006-10-01T07:39:28+00:00

This patch cleans up generic_file_*_read/write() interfaces.  Christoph
Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups.

In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use
do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods.  This allows us
to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.

Final available interfaces:

generic_file_aio_read() - read handler
generic_file_aio_write() - write handler
generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler

__generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine

aio_read()/aio_write() methods.
