[PATCH] Fix reiserfs deadlock

2006-04-22T16:19:53Z

reiserfs_cache_default_acl() should return whether we successfully found the acl or not. We have to return correct value even if reiserfs_get_acl() returns error code and not just 0. Otherwise callers such as reiserfs_mkdir() can unnecessarily lock the xattrs and later functions such as reiserfs_new_inode() fail to notice that we have already taken the lock and try to take it again with obvious consequences.

[PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system call

2006-03-30T20:28:18Z

This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only). From the splice.c comments: "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands. This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other. The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer. Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation bugs.

[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const

2006-03-28T17:16:06Z

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] remove ->get_blocks() support

2006-03-26T16:57:01Z

Now that get_block() can handle mapping multiple disk blocks, no need to have ->get_blocks(). This patch removes fs specific ->get_blocks() added for DIO and makes it users use get_block() instead. Signed-off-by: Badari Pulavarty Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] change buffer_head.b_size to size_t

2006-03-26T16:57:01Z

Increase the size of the buffer_head b_size field (only) for 64 bit platforms. Update some old and moldy comments in and around the structure as well. The b_size increase allows us to perform larger mappings and allocations for large I/O requests from userspace, which tie in with other changes allowing the get_block_t() interface to map multiple blocks at once.

[PATCH] Make address_space_operations->invalidatepage return void

2006-03-26T16:56:55Z

The return value of this function is never used, so let's be honest and declare it as void. Some places where invalidatepage returned 0, I have inserted comments suggesting a BUG_ON.

[PATCH] indirect_print_item() warning fix

2006-03-25T16:22:57Z

fs/reiserfs/item_ops.c: In function 'indirect_print_item': fs/reiserfs/item_ops.c:278: warning: 'num' may be used uninitialized in this function (akpm: this is probably just gcc being dumb) Signed-off-by: Benoit Boissinot Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] reiserfs/xattr_acl.c:reiserfs_get_acl(): make size an int

2006-03-25T16:22:57Z

The Coverity checker wasn't happy seeing a size_t compared with -ENODATA and -ENOSYS. Since the only place where size is set is through the result of reiserfs_xattr_get() which is an int, we could simply make size an int.

[PATCH] reiserfs: use balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_nr in reiserfs_file_write()
