fs: remove mapping->backing_dev_info

2015-01-20T21:03:05+00:00

Now that we never use the backing_dev_info pointer in struct address_space
we can simply remove it and save 4 to 8 bytes in every inode.

fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support

2015-01-20T21:02:58+00:00

Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead.  Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device.  It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

->splice_write() via ->write_iter()

2014-06-12T04:18:51+00:00

iter_file_splice_write() - a ->splice_write() instance that gathers the
pipe buffers, builds a bio_vec-based iov_iter covering those and feeds
it to ->write_iter().  A bunch of simple cases coverted to that...

fs/ramfs: move ramfs_aops to inode.c

2014-01-24T00:36:58+00:00

ramfs_aops is identical in file-mmu.c and file-nommu.c.  Thus move it to
fs/ramfs/inode.c and make it static.

fs/ramfs/file-nommu.c: make ramfs_nommu_get_unmapped_area() and ramfs_nommu_mmap() static

2014-01-24T00:36:58+00:00

Since commit 853ac43ab194 ("shmem: unify regular and tiny shmem"),
ramfs_nommu_get_unmapped_area() and ramfs_nommu_mmap() are not directly
referenced outside of file-nommu.c.  Thus make them static.

fs/ramfs: don't use module_init for non-modular core code

2014-01-22T00:19:42+00:00

The ramfs is always built in.  It will never be modular, so using
module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather misleading.

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs.  one of the
priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of fs_initcall (which makes sense for fs code)
will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 5-fs
(i.e. slightly earlier).  However no observable impact of that small
difference has been observed during testing, or is expected.

Also note that this change uncovers a missing semicolon bug in the
registration of the initcall.

initmpfs: move rootfs code from fs/ramfs/ to init/

2013-09-11T22:59:37+00:00

When the rootfs code was a wrapper around ramfs, having them in the same
file made sense.  Now that it can wrap another filesystem type, move it in
with the init code instead.

This also allows a subsequent patch to access rootfstype= command line
arg.
