don't pass nameidata to ->create()

2012-07-14T12:34:47+00:00

boolean "does it have to be exclusive?" flag is passed instead;
Local filesystem should just ignore it - the object is guaranteed
not to be there yet.

stop passing nameidata to ->lookup()

2012-07-14T12:34:32+00:00

Just the flags; only NFS cares even about that, but there are
legitimate uses for such argument.  And getting rid of that
completely would require splitting ->lookup() into a couple
of methods (at least), so let's leave that alone for now...

vfs: Rename end_writeback() to clear_inode()

2012-05-06T05:43:41+00:00

After we moved inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() it doesn't make sense
to call the function end_writeback() anymore. Rename it to clear_inode()
which well says what the function really does - set I_CLEAR flag.

uml/hostfs: Propagate dirent.d_type to filldir()

2012-03-24T23:29:52+00:00

Currently the (optional) d_type member in struct dirent is always
DT_UNKNOWN on hostfs, which may confuse buggy software using readdir().
Make sure to propagate its value from the underlying filesystem if it's
available there.

switch hostfs_iattr to explicit unsigned short

2012-01-04T03:55:15+00:00

It's shared between kernel-compiled hostfs_kern and userland-compiled
hostfs_user (it's uml stuff).  Use explicit type instead of playing
silly buggers with mode_t.  It's not a userland API per se; it interacts
between code compiled with types same as for host kernel and, directly
linked to it, code talking to libc.  Both sides come from the same
kernel source...

switch ->create() to umode_t

2012-01-04T03:54:53+00:00

vfs_create() ignores everything outside of 16bit subset of its
mode argument; switching it to umode_t is obviously equivalent
and it's the only caller of the method
