gfs2: Lock holder cleanup

2016-06-27T14:47:09Z

Make the code more readable by cleaning up the different ways of initializing lock holders and checking for initialized lock holders: mark lock holders as uninitialized by setting the holder's glock to NULL (gfs2_holder_mark_uninitialized) instead of zeroing out the entire object or using a separate flag. Recognize initialized holders by their non-NULL glock (gfs2_holder_initialized). Don't zero out holder objects which are immeditiately initialized via gfs2_holder_init or gfs2_glock_nq_init.

VFS: normal filesystems (and lustre): d_inode() annotations

vfs: Remove unnecessary calls of check_submounts_and_drop

2014-10-09T06:38:56Z

Now that check_submounts_and_drop can not fail and is called from d_invalidate there is no longer a need to call check_submounts_and_drom from filesystem d_revalidate methods so remove it. Reviewed-by: Miklos Szeredi Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Al Viro

gfs2: use check_submounts_and_drop()

2013-09-05T20:23:51Z

Do have_submounts(), shrink_dcache_parent() and d_drop() atomically. check_submounts_and_drop() can deal with negative dentries and non-directories as well. Non-directories can also be mounted on. And just like directories we don't want these to disappear with invalidation. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi CC: Steven Whitehouse Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Don't pass inode to ->d_hash() and ->d_compare()

2013-06-29T08:57:36Z

Instances either don't look at it at all (the majority of cases) or only want it to find the superblock (which can be had as dentry->d_sb). A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry->d_inode - the only precaution needed is the check that it hadn't been replaced with NULL by rmdir() or by overwriting rename(), which case should be simply treated as cache miss.

fs: rcu-walk aware d_revalidate method

2011-01-07T06:50:29Z

Require filesystems be aware of .d_revalidate being called in rcu-walk mode (nd->flags & LOOKUP_RCU). For now do a simple push down, returning -ECHILD from all implementations. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

fs: change d_hash for rcu-walk

2011-01-07T06:50:20Z

Change d_hash so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. See similar patch for d_compare for details. For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

fs: change d_delete semantics

2011-01-07T06:50:18Z

Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent, and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback anyway. This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning much simpler. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin
