ufs: remove unnecessary dentry_unhash from rmdir, dir rename

ufs does not have problems with references to unlinked directories. CC: Evgeniy Dushistov Signed-off-by: Sage Weil Signed-off-by: Al Viro

vfs: push dentry_unhash on rename_dir into file systems

2011-05-26T11:26:48+00:00

Only a few file systems need this. Start by pushing it down into each rename method (except gfs2 and xfs) so that it can be dealt with on a per-fs basis. Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Sage Weil Signed-off-by: Al Viro

ufs: remove the BKL

2011-03-02T21:27:48+00:00

This introduces a new per-superblock mutex in UFS to replace the big kernel lock. I have been careful to avoid nested calls to lock_ufs and to get the lock order right with respect to other mutexes, in particular lock_super. I did not make any attempt to prove that the big kernel lock is not needed in a particular place in the code, which is very possible. The mutex has a significant performance impact, so it is only used on SMP or PREEMPT configurations. As Nick Piggin noticed, any allocation inside of the lock may end up deadlocking when we get to ufs_getfrag_block in the reclaim task, so we now use GFP_NOFS.

ufs: Remove dead quota code

2010-05-24T12:10:19+00:00

UFS quota is non-functional at least since 2.6.12 because dq_op was set to NULL. Since the filesystem exists mainly to allow cooperation with Solaris and quota format isn't standard, just remove the dead code. CC: Evgeniy Dushistov Signed-off-by: Jan Kara
