fs: drop the timespec64 argument from update_time

2023-08-11T07:04:57+00:00

Now that all of the update_time operations are prepared for it, we can
drop the timespec64 argument from the update_time operation. Do that and
remove it from some associated functions like inode_update_time and
inode_needs_update_time.

fs: drop the timespec64 arg from generic_update_time

2023-08-09T06:56:37+00:00

In future patches we're going to change how the ctime is updated
to keep track of when it has been queried. The way that the update_time
operation works (and a lot of its callers) make this difficult, since
they grab a timestamp early and then pass it down to eventually be
copied into the inode.

All of the existing update_time callers pass in the result of
current_time() in some fashion. Drop the "time" parameter from
generic_update_time, and rework it to fetch its own timestamp.

This change means that an update_time could fetch a different timestamp
than was seen in inode_needs_update_time. update_time is only ever
called with one of two flag combinations: Either S_ATIME is set, or
S_MTIME|S_CTIME|S_VERSION are set.

With this change we now treat the flags argument as an indicator that
some value needed to be updated when last checked, rather than an
indication to update specific timestamps.

Rework the logic for updating the timestamps and put it in a new
inode_update_timestamps helper that other update_time routines can use.
S_ATIME is as treated as we always have, but if any of the other three
are set, then we attempt to update all three.

Also, some callers of generic_update_time need to know what timestamps
were actually updated. Change it to return an S_* flag mask to indicate
that and rework the callers to expect it.

fs: pass the request_mask to generic_fillattr

2023-08-09T06:56:36+00:00

generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately
today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute
(STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported,
and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain
timestamps.

Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers
just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers
(e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.

orangefs: convert to ctime accessor functions

2023-07-24T08:30:03+00:00

In later patches, we're going to change how the inode's ctime field is
used. Switch to using accessor functions instead of raw accesses of
inode->i_ctime.

orangefs: Provide a splice-read wrapper

2023-05-24T14:42:16+00:00

Provide a splice_read wrapper for ocfs2.  This increments the read stats
and then locks the inode across the call to filemap_splice_read() and a
revalidation of the mapping.  Splicing from direct I/O is done by the
caller.

orangefs: use folios in orangefs_readahead

2023-04-18T23:30:01+00:00

Patch series "remove page_endio()", v3.

It was decided to remove the page_endio() as per the previous RFC
discussion[1] of this series and move that functionality into the caller
itself.  One of the side benefit of doing that is the callers have been
modified to directly work on folios as page_endio() already worked on
folios.

As Christoph is doing ZRAM cleanups[4] which will get rid of page_endio()
function usage, I removed the final patch that removes page_endio()[5].  I
will send it separately after rc-1 once the zram cleanups are merged.

mpage changes were tested with a simple boot testing and running a fio
workload on ext2 filesystem.  orangefs was tested by Mike Marshall (No
code changes since he tested).


This patch (of 3):

Convert orangefs_readahead() from using struct page to struct folio.  This
conversion removes the call to page_endio() which is soon to be removed,
and simplifies the final page handling.

The page error flags is not required to be set in the error case as
orangefs doesn't depend on them.

fs: drop unused posix acl handlers

2023-03-06T08:57:12+00:00

Remove struct posix_acl_{access,default}_handler for all filesystems
that don't depend on the xattr handler in their inode->i_op->listxattr()
method in any way. There's nothing more to do than to simply remove the
handler. It's been effectively unused ever since we introduced the new
posix acl api.
