exportfs: Return the minimum required handle size

2011-03-14T13:15:28Z

The exportfs encode handle function should return the minimum required handle size. This helps user to find out the handle size by passing 0 handle size in the first step and then redoing to the call again with the returned handle size value.

fs: dcache per-inode inode alias locking

2011-01-07T06:50:31Z

dcache_inode_lock can be replaced with per-inode locking. Use existing inode->i_lock for this. This is slightly non-trivial because we sometimes need to find the inode from the dentry, which requires d_inode to be stabilised (either with refcount or d_lock). Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

fs: dcache rationalise dget variants

2011-01-07T06:50:24Z

dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point). However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

fs: dcache remove dcache_lock

2011-01-07T06:50:23Z

dcache_lock no longer protects anything. remove it. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

fs: scale inode alias list

2011-01-07T06:50:22Z

Add a new lock, dcache_inode_lock, to protect the inode's i_dentry list from concurrent modification. d_alias is also protected by d_lock. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

exportfs: use dget_parent

2010-10-26T01:26:13Z

Use dget_parent instead of opencoding it. This simplifies the code, but more importanly prepares for the more complicated locking for a parent dget in the dcache scale patch series. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

nfs: new subdir Documentation/filesystems/nfs

2009-10-27T23:34:04Z

We're adding enough nfs documentation that it may as well have its own subdirectory. Acked-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields

EXPORTFS: handle NULL returns from fh_to_dentry()/fh_to_parent()

2008-12-09T03:49:32Z

While 440037287c5 "[PATCH] switch all filesystems over to d_obtain_alias" removed some cases where fh_to_dentry() and fh_to_parent() could return NULL, there are still a few NULL returns left in individual filesystems. Thus it was a mistake for that commit to remove the handling of NULL returns in the callers. Revert those parts of 440037287c5 which removed the NULL handling. (We could, alternatively, modify all implementations to return -ESTALE instead of NULL, but that proves to require fixing a number of filesystems, and in some cases it's arguably more natural to return NULL.)
