fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix

2009-01-04T21:33:20Z

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

fuse: clean up annotations of fc->lock

2008-12-02T13:49:42Z

Makes the existing annotations match the more common one per line style and adds a few missing annotations. Signed-off-by: Harvey Harrison Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

fuse: fix sparse warning in ioctl

2008-12-02T13:49:42Z

Fix sparse warning: CHECK fs/fuse/file.c fs/fuse/file.c:1615:17: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) fs/fuse/file.c:1615:17: expected void [noderef] *iov_base fs/fuse/file.c:1615:17: got void * This was introduced by "fuse: implement ioctl support".

fuse: add fuse_conn->release()

2008-11-26T11:03:56Z

Add fuse_conn->release() so that fuse_conn can be embedded in other structures. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

fuse: separate out fuse_conn_init() from new_conn()

2008-11-26T11:03:55Z

Separate out fuse_conn_init() from new_conn() and while at it initialize fuse_conn->entry during conn initialization. This will be used by CUSE. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

fuse: add fuse_ prefix to several functions

2008-11-26T11:03:55Z

Add fuse_ prefix to request_send*() and get_root_inode() as some of those functions will be exported for CUSE. With or without CUSE export, having the function names scoped is a good idea for debuggability. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

fuse: implement poll support

2008-11-26T11:03:55Z

Implement poll support. Polled files are indexed using kh in a RB tree rooted at fuse_conn->polled_files. Client should send FUSE_NOTIFY_POLL notification once after processing FUSE_POLL which has FUSE_POLL_SCHEDULE_NOTIFY set. Sending notification unconditionally after the latest poll or everytime file content might have changed is inefficient but won't cause malfunction. fuse_file_poll() can sleep and requires patches from the following thread which allows f_op->poll() to sleep. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/726176 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

fuse: implement unsolicited notification

2008-11-26T11:03:55Z

Clients always used to write only in response to read requests. To implement poll efficiently, clients should be able to issue unsolicited notifications. This patch implements basic notification support. Zero fuse_out_header.unique is now accepted and considered unsolicited notification and the error field contains notification code. This patch doesn't implement any actual notification. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

fuse: add file kernel handle

2008-11-26T11:03:55Z

The file handle, fuse_file->fh, is opaque value supplied by userland FUSE server and uniqueness is not guaranteed. Add file kernel handle, fuse_file->kh, which is allocated by the kernel on file allocation and guaranteed to be unique. This will be used by poll to match notification to the respective file but can be used for other purposes where unique file handle is necessary. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi
