uml/hostfs: Propagate dirent.d_type to filldir()

2012-03-24T23:29:52Z

Currently the (optional) d_type member in struct dirent is always DT_UNKNOWN on hostfs, which may confuse buggy software using readdir(). Make sure to propagate its value from the underlying filesystem if it's available there. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

switch hostfs_iattr to explicit unsigned short

2012-01-04T03:55:15Z

It's shared between kernel-compiled hostfs_kern and userland-compiled hostfs_user (it's uml stuff). Use explicit type instead of playing silly buggers with mode_t. It's not a userland API per se; it interacts between code compiled with types same as for host kernel and, directly linked to it, code talking to libc. Both sides come from the same kernel source...

switch ->create() to umode_t

2012-01-04T03:54:53Z

vfs_create() ignores everything outside of 16bit subset of its mode argument; switching it to umode_t is obviously equivalent and it's the only caller of the method Signed-off-by: Al Viro

switch vfs_mkdir() and ->mkdir() to umode_t

2012-01-04T03:54:53Z

vfs_mkdir() gets int, but immediately drops everything that might not fit into umode_t and that's the only caller of ->mkdir()... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

vfs: fix the stupidity with i_dentry in inode destructors

2012-01-04T03:52:40Z

Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once(); the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes and sockets and negative for everything else. Not to mention the removal of boilerplate code from ->destroy_inode() instances... Signed-off-by: Al Viro
