xfs: remove subdirectories

2011-08-12T21:21:35+00:00

Use the move from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.x as an excuse to kill the annoying subdirectories in the XFS source code. Besides the large amount of file rename the only changes are to the Makefile, a few files including headers with the subdirectory prefix, and the binary sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from kernel/.

[XFS] add a FMODE flag to make XFS invisible I/O less hacky

2008-12-11T02:14:41+00:00

XFS has a mode called invisble I/O that doesn't update any of the timestamps. It's used for HSM-style applications and exposed through the nasty open by handle ioctl. Instead of doing directly assignment of file operations that set an internal flag for it add a new FMODE_NOCMTIME flag that we can check in the normal file operations. (addition of the generic VFS flag has been ACKed by Al as an interims solution) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Lachlan McIlroy

[XFS] stop using file_update_time

2008-08-13T06:48:12+00:00

xfs_ichtime updates the xfs_inode and Linux inode timestamps just fine, no need to call file_update_time and then copy the values over to the XFS inode. The only additional thing in file_update_time are checks not applicable to the write path.

[XFS] sanitize xfs_initialize_vnode

2008-08-13T06:23:13+00:00

Sanitize setting up the Linux indode. Setting up the xfs_inode <-> inode link is opencoded in xfs_iget_core now because that's the only place it needs to be done, xfs_initialize_vnode is renamed to xfs_setup_inode and loses all superflous paramaters. The check for I_NEW is removed because it always is true and the di_mode check moves into xfs_iget_core because it's only needed there. xfs_set_inodeops and xfs_revalidate_inode are merged into xfs_setup_inode and the whole things is moved into xfs_iops.c where it belongs.

[XFS] Avoid directly referencing the VFS inode.

2008-08-13T05:45:15+00:00

In several places we directly convert from the XFS inode to the linux (VFS) inode by a simple deference of ip->i_vnode. We should not do this - a helper function should be used to extract the VFS inode from the XFS inode. Introduce the function VFS_I() to extract the VFS inode from the XFS inode. The name was chosen to match XFS_I() which is used to extract the XFS inode from the VFS inode.

[XFS] Use the generic xattr methods.

2008-07-28T06:58:49+00:00

Use the generic set, get and removexattr methods and supply the s_xattr array with fine-grained handlers. All XFS/Linux highlevel attr handling is rewritten from scratch and placed into fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_xattr.c so that it's separated from the generic low-level code.

[XFS] Return case-insensitive match for dentry cache

2008-07-28T06:58:40+00:00

This implements the code to store the actual filename found during a lookup in the dentry cache and to avoid multiple entries in the dcache pointing to the same inode. To avoid polluting the dcache, we implement a new directory inode operations for lookup. xfs_vn_ci_lookup() stores the correct case name in the dcache. The "actual name" is only allocated and returned for a case- insensitive match and not an actual match. Another unusual interaction with the dcache is not storing negative dentries like other filesystems doing a d_add(dentry, NULL) when an ENOENT is returned. During the VFS lookup, if a dentry returned has no inode, dput is called and ENOENT is returned. By not doing a d_add, this actually removes it completely from the dcache to be reused. create/rename have to be modified to support unhashed dentries being passed in.

[XFS] call common xfs vnode-level helpers directly and remove vnode operations

[XFS] decontaminate vnode operations from behavior details

2007-10-15T06:54:29+00:00

All vnode ops now take struct xfs_inode pointers and the behaviour related glue is split out into methods of it's own. This required fixing xfs_create/mkdir/symlink to not mess with the inode pointer but rather use a separate boolean for error handling. Thanks to Dave Chinner for that fix.

[PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 3

2007-02-12T17:48:46+00:00

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
