2010-05-27rename the generic fsync implementationsChristoph Hellwig
We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently. The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with, the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync which can lead to some confusion. This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious what to expect. In addition add some documentation for both methods. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2010-05-27fs/: do not fallback to default_llseek() when readdir() uses BKLjan Blunck
Do not use the fallback default_llseek() if the readdir operation of the filesystem still uses the big kernel lock. Since llseek() modifies file->f_pos of the directory directly it may need locking to not confuse readdir which usually uses file->f_pos directly as well Since the special characteristics of the BKL (unlocked on schedule) are not necessary in this case, the inode mutex can be used for locking as provided by generic_file_llseek(). This is only possible since all filesystems, except reiserfs, either use a directory as a flat file or with disk address offsets. Reiserfs on the other hand uses a 32bit hash off the filename as the offset so generic_file_llseek() can get used as well since the hash is always smaller than sb->s_maxbytes (= (512 << 32) - blocksize).

2010-05-24udf: Remove dead quota codeJan Kara
Quota on UDF is non-functional at least since 2.6.16 (I'm too lazy to do more archeology) because it does not provide .quota_write and .quota_read functions and thus quotaon(8) just returns EINVAL. Since nobody complained for all those years and quota support is not even in UDF standard just nuke it. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2010-05-24quota: move unmount handling into the filesystemChristoph Hellwig
Currently the VFS calls into the quotactl interface for unmounting filesystems. This means filesystems with their own quota handling can't easily distinguish between user-space originating quotaoff and an unount. Instead move the responsibily of the unmount handling into the filesystem to be consistent with all other dquot handling. Note that we do call dquot_disable a lot later now, e.g. after a sync_filesystem. But this is fine as the quota code does all its writes via blockdev's mapping and that is synced even later.

2010-05-24quota: kill the vfs_dq_off and vfs_dq_quota_on_remount wrappersChristoph Hellwig
Instead of having wrappers in the VFS namespace export the dquot_suspend and dquot_resume helpers directly. Also rename vfs_quota_disable to dquot_disable while we're at it.

2010-05-24quota: move remount handling into the filesystemChristoph Hellwig
Currently do_remount_sb calls into the dquot code to tell it about going from rw to ro and ro to rw. Move this code into the filesystem to not depend on the dquot code in the VFS - note ocfs2 already ignores these calls and handles remount by itself. This gets rid of overloading the quotactl calls and allows to unify the VFS and XFS codepaths in that area later. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Quota must being initialized if size or uid/git changes requested.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-09udf: Fix unalloc space handling in udf_update_inodeJan Kara
Writing of inode holding unallocated space info was broken because we first cleared the buffer and after that checked whether it contains a tag meaning the block holds unallocated space information.

Also cleanup the function a bit along the way - most importantly lock buffer when modifying its contents, check for buffer_write_io_error instead of !buffer_uptodate, etc..

2010-03-05dquot: move dquot initialization responsibility into the filesystemChristoph Hellwig
Currently various places in the VFS call vfs_dq_init directly. This means we tie the quota code into the VFS. Get rid of that and make the filesystem responsible for the initialization. For most metadata operations this is a straight forward move into the methods, but for truncate and open it's a bit more complicated. For truncate we currently only call vfs_dq_init for the sys_truncate case because open already takes care of it for ftruncate and open(O_TRUNC) - the new code causes an additional vfs_dq_init for those which is harmless. For open the initialization is moved from do_filp_open into the open method, which means it happens slightly earlier now, and only for regular files. The latter is fine because we don't need to initialize it for operations on special files, and we already do it as part of the namespace operations for directories.

2009-12-14udf: Avoid IO in udf_clear_inodeJan Kara
It is not very good to do IO in udf_clear_inode. First, VFS does not really expect inode to become dirty there and thus we have to write it ourselves, second, memory reclaim gets blocked waiting for IO when it does not really expect it, third, the IO pattern (e.g. on umount) resulting from writes in udf_clear_inode is bad and it slows down writing a lot. The reason why UDF needed to do IO in udf_clear_inode is that UDF standard mandates extent length to exactly match inode size. But when we allocate extents to a file or directory, we don't really know what exactly the final file size will be and thus temporarily set it to block boundary and later truncate it to exact length in udf_clear_inode. Now, this is changed to truncate to final file size in udf_release_file for regular files. For directories and symlinks, we do the truncation at the moment when learn what the final file size will be. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2009-12-14udf: Try harder when looking for VAT inodeJan Kara

2009-09-14udf: Perform preallocation only for regular filesJan Kara
So far we preallocated blocks also for directories but that brings a problem, when to get rid of preallocated blocks we don't need. So far we removed them in udf_clear_inode() which has a disadvantage that 1) blocks are unavailable long after writing to a directory finished and thus one can get out of space unnecessarily early 2) releasing blocks from udf_clear_inode is problematic because VFS does not expect us to redirty inode there and it also slows down memory reclaim. So preallocate blocks only for regular files where we can drop preallocation in udf_release_file. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2009-05-22block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_sizeMartin K. Petersen
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device. With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes.

2009-04-02udf: Don't write integrity descriptor too oftenJan Kara
We update information in logical volume integrity descriptor after each allocation (as LVID contains free space, number of directories and files on disk etc.). If the filesystem is on some phase change media, this leads to its quick degradation as such media is able to handle only 10000 overwrites or so. We solve the problem by writing new information into LVID only on umount, remount-ro and sync. This solves the problem at the price of longer media inconsistency (previously media became consistent after pdflush flushed dirty LVID buffer) but that should be acceptable.

2009-04-02udf: Try anchor in block 256 firstJan Kara
Anchor block can be located at several places on the medium. Two of the locations are relative to media end which is problematic to detect. Also some drives report some block as last but are not able to read it or any block nearby before it. So let's first try block 256 and if it is all fine, don't look at other possible locations of anchor blocks to avoid IO errors. This change required a larger reorganization of code but the new code is hopefully more readable and definitely shorter. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
