fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers

2011-07-21T00:47:59+00:00

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
Thanks,

fs: simplify the blockdev_direct_IO prototype

2011-07-21T00:47:49+00:00

Simple filesystems always pass inode->i_sb_bdev as the block device
argument, and never need a end_io handler.  Let's simply things for
them and for my grepping activity by dropping these arguments.  The
only thing not falling into that scheme is ext4, which passes and
end_io handler without needing special flags (yet), but given how
messy the direct I/O code there is use of __blockdev_direct_IO
in one instead of two out of three cases isn't going to make a large
difference anyway.

fs: move inode_dio_wait calls into ->setattr

2011-07-21T00:47:47+00:00

Let filesystems handle waiting for direct I/O requests themselves instead
of doing it beforehand.  This means filesystem-specific locks to prevent
new dio referenes from appearing can be held.  This is important to allow
generalizing i_dio_count to non-DIO_LOCKING filesystems.

->permission() sanitizing: don't pass flags to ->permission()

->permission() sanitizing: don't pass flags to generic_permission()

2011-07-20T05:43:22+00:00

redundant; all callers get it duplicated in mask & MAY_NOT_BLOCK and none of
them removes that bit.

kill check_acl callback of generic_permission()

2011-07-20T05:43:16+00:00

its value depends only on inode and does not change; we might as
well store it in ->i_op->check_acl and be done with that.

nilfs2_permission() doesn't need to bail out in RCU mode

2011-06-20T14:44:33+00:00

Nothing blocking except for generic_permission().  Which will DTRT.

nilfs2: fix problem in setting checkpoint interval

2011-06-11T06:51:15+00:00

Checkpoint generation interval of nilfs goes wrong after user has
changed the interval parameter with nilfs-tune tool.

 segctord starting. Construction interval = 5 seconds,
 CP frequency < 30 seconds
 segctord starting. Construction interval = 0 seconds,
 CP frequency < 30 seconds

This turned out to be caused by a trivial bug in initialization code
of log writer.  This will fix it.

nilfs2: fix missing block address termination in btree node shrinking

2011-06-11T06:51:15+00:00

nilfs_btree_delete function does not terminate part of virtual block
addresses when shrinking the last remaining child node into the root
node.  The missing address termination causes that dead btree node
blocks persist and chip away free disk space.

This fixes the leak bug on the btree node deletion.
