fs: Add new pre-allocation ioctls to vfs for compatibility with legacy xfs ioctls

2009-06-24T12:15:27+00:00

This patch adds ioctls to vfs for compatibility with legacy XFS pre-allocation ioctls (XFS_IOC_*RESVP*). The implementation effectively invokes sys_fallocate for the new ioctls. Also handles the compat_ioctl case. Note: These legacy ioctls are also implemented by OCFS2.

mm: remove __invalidate_mapping_pages variant

2009-06-17T02:47:43+00:00

Remove __invalidate_mapping_pages atomic variant now that its sole caller can sleep (fixed in eccb95cee4f0d56faa46ef22fb94dd4a3578d3eb ("vfs: fix lock inversion in drop_pagecache_sb()")). This fixes softlockups that can occur while in the drop_caches path.

readahead: make mmap_miss an unsigned int

2009-06-17T02:47:28+00:00

This makes the performance impact of possible mmap_miss wrap around to be temporary and tolerable: i.e. MMAP_LOTSAMISS=100 extra readarounds. Otherwise if ever mmap_miss wraps around to negative, it takes INT_MAX cache misses to bring it back to normal state. During the time mmap readaround will be _enabled_ for whatever wild random workload. That's almost permanent performance impact.

fs: introduce __getname_gfp()

2009-06-15T13:49:39+00:00

The purpose of this change is to allow __getname() users to pass a custom GFP mask to kmem_cache_alloc(). This is needed for annotating a certain kmemcheck false positive. Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum

New helper - simple_fsync()

2009-06-12T01:36:11+00:00

writes associated buffers, then does sync_inode() to write the inode itself (and to make it clean). Depends on ->write_inode() honouring the second argument. Signed-off-by: Al Viro
