proc: Make the PROC_I() and PDE() macros internal to procfs

2013-05-01T21:29:47+00:00

Make the PROC_I() and PDE() macros internal to procfs.  This means making
PDE_DATA() out of line.  This could be made more optimal by storing
PDE()->data into inode->i_private.

Also provide a __PDE_DATA() that is inline and internal to procfs.

proc: Supply a function to remove a proc entry by PDE

2013-05-01T21:29:46+00:00

Supply a function (proc_remove()) to remove a proc entry (and any subtree
rooted there) by proc_dir_entry pointer rather than by name and (optionally)
root dir entry pointer.  This allows us to eliminate all remaining pde->name
accesses outside of procfs.

proc: Supply an accessor for getting the data from a PDE's parent

2013-05-01T21:29:42+00:00

Supply an accessor function for getting the private data from the parent
proc_dir_entry struct of the proc_dir_entry struct associated with an inode.

ReiserFS, for instance, stores the super_block pointer in the proc directory
it makes for that super_block, and a pointer to the respective seq_file show
function in each of the proc files in that directory.

This allows a reduction in the number of file_operations structs, open
functions and seq_operations structs required.  The problem otherwise is that
each show function requires two pieces of data but only has storage for one
per PDE (and this has no release function).

proc: Add proc_mkdir_data()

2013-05-01T21:29:41+00:00

Add proc_mkdir_data() to allow procfs directories to be created that are
annotated at the time of creation with private data rather than doing this
post-creation.  This means no access is then required to the proc_dir_entry
struct to set this.

proc: Supply PDE attribute setting accessor functions

2013-05-01T21:29:18+00:00

Supply accessor functions to set attributes in proc_dir_entry structs.

The following are supplied: proc_set_size() and proc_set_user().

proc: Delete create_proc_read_entry()

2013-04-29T19:42:00+00:00

Delete create_proc_read_entry() as it no longer has any users.

Also delete read_proc_t, write_proc_t, the read_proc member of the
proc_dir_entry struct and the support functions that use them.  This saves a
pointer for every PDE allocated.

procfs: preparations for remove_proc_entry() race fixes

2013-04-09T19:16:51+00:00

* leave ->proc_fops alone; make ->pde_users negative instead
* trim pde_opener
* move relevant code in fs/proc/inode.c

procfs: Clean up huge if-statement in __proc_file_read()

2013-04-09T19:16:50+00:00

Switch huge if-statement in __proc_file_read() around.  This then puts the
single line loop break immediately after the if-statement and allows us to
de-indent the huge comment and make it take fewer lines.  The code following
the if-statement then follows naturally from the call to dp->read_proc().

procfs: new helper - PDE_DATA(inode)

2013-04-09T18:13:32+00:00

The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc
really cares about is PDE(inode)->data.  Provide a helper
for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved
to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry
layout.
