fs: Remove ext3 filesystem driver

2015-07-23T18:59:40Z

The functionality of ext3 is fully supported by ext4 driver. Major distributions (SUSE, RedHat) already use ext4 driver to handle ext3 filesystems for quite some time. There is some ugliness in mm resulting from jbd cleaning buffers in a dirty page without cleaning page dirty bit and also support for buffer bouncing in the block layer when stable pages are required is there only because of jbd. So let's remove the ext3 driver. This saves us some 28k lines of duplicated code. Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

make new_sync_{read,write}() static

2015-04-12T02:29:40Z

All places outside of core VFS that checked ->read and ->write for being NULL or called the methods directly are gone now, so NULL {read,write} with non-NULL {read,write}_iter will do the right thing in all cases. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

->splice_write() via ->write_iter()

2014-06-12T04:18:51Z

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... [AV: fixed the braino spotted by Cyrill] Signed-off-by: Al Viro

fs: take the ACL checks to common code

2011-07-25T18:30:23Z

Replace the ->check_acl method with a ->get_acl method that simply reads an ACL from disk after having a cache miss. This means we can replace the ACL checking boilerplate code with a single implementation in namei.c. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

ext3: Convert ext3 to new truncate calling convention

2011-06-25T15:29:51Z

Mostly trivial conversion. We fix a bug that IS_IMMUTABLE and IS_APPEND files could not be truncated during failed writes as we change the code. In fact the test is not needed at all because both IS_IMMUTABLE and IS_APPEND is tested in upper layers in do_sys_[f]truncate(), may_write(), etc. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara
