Pull second vfs pile from Al Viro: "The stuff in there: fsfreeze deadlock fixes by Jan (essentially, the deadlock reproduced by xfstests 068), symlink and hardlink restriction patches, plus assorted cleanups and fixes. Note that another fsfreeze deadlock (emergency thaw one) is *not* dealt with - the series by Fernando conflicts a lot with Jan's, breaks userland ABI (FIFREEZE semantics gets changed) and trades the deadlock for massive vfsmount leak; this is going to be handled next cycle. There probably will be another pull request, but that stuff won't be in it."

ext2: Implement freezing

2012-07-31T05:45:53Z

The only missing piece to make freezing work reliably with ext2 is to stop iput() of unlinked inode from deleting the inode on frozen filesystem. So add a necessary protection to ext2_evict_inode(). We also provide appropriate ->freeze_fs and ->unfreeze_fs functions. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Al Viro

ext2: use memweight()

2012-07-31T00:25:16Z

Convert ext2_count_free() to use memweight() instead of table lookup based counting clear bits implementation. This change only affects the code segments enabled by EXT2FS_DEBUG. Note that this memweight() call can't be replaced with a single bitmap_weight() call, although the pointer to the memory area is aligned to long-word boundary. Because the size of the memory area may not be a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, then it returns wrong value on big-endian architecture. This also includes the following changes. - Remove unnecessary map == NULL check in ext2_count_free() which always takes non-null pointer as the memory area. - Fix printk format warning that only reveals with EXT2FS_DEBUG.

don't expose I_NEW inodes via dentry->d_inode

2012-07-22T20:00:58Z

d_instantiate(dentry, inode); unlock_new_inode(inode); is a bad idea; do it the other way round... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

quota: Move quota syncing to ->sync_fs method

2012-07-22T19:58:34Z

Since the moment writes to quota files are using block device page cache and space for quota structures is reserved at the moment they are first accessed we have no reason to sync quota before inode writeback. In fact this order is now only harmful since quota information can easily change during inode writeback (either because conversion of delayed-allocated extents or simply because of allocation of new blocks for simple filesystems not using page_mkwrite). So move syncing of quota information after writeback of inodes into ->sync_fs method. This way we do not have to use ->quota_sync callback which is primarily intended for use by quotactl syscall anyway and we get rid of calling ->sync_fs() twice unnecessarily. We skip quota syncing for OCFS2 since it does proper quota journalling in all cases (unlike ext3, ext4, and reiserfs which also support legacy non-journalled quotas) and thus there are no dirty quota structures.

don't pass nameidata to ->create()

2012-07-14T12:34:47Z

boolean "does it have to be exclusive?" flag is passed instead; Local filesystem should just ignore it - the object is guaranteed not to be there yet. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

stop passing nameidata to ->lookup()

2012-07-14T12:34:32Z

Just the flags; only NFS cares even about that, but there are legitimate uses for such argument. And getting rid of that completely would require splitting ->lookup() into a couple of methods (at least), so let's leave that alone for now... Signed-off-by: Al Viro
