->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.

rename generic_setattr

2010-08-09T20:47:35+00:00

Despite its name it's now a generic implementation of ->setattr, but
rather a helper to copy attributes from a struct iattr to the inode.
Rename it to setattr_copy to reflect this fact.

fix setattr error handling in sysfs, configfs

2010-06-04T20:27:53+00:00

sysfs and configfs setattr functions have error cases after the generic inode's
attributes have been changed. Fix consistency by changing the generic inode
attributes only when it is guaranteed to succeed.

sysfs: Add support for tagged directories with untagged members.

2010-05-21T16:37:31+00:00

I had hopped to avoid this but the bonding driver adds a file
to /sys/class/net/  and the easiest way to handle that file is
to make it untagged and to register it only once.

So relax the rules on tagged directories, and make bonding work.
