fs: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible

2012-02-29T00:31:58Z

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along the way. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

vfs: fix up ENOIOCTLCMD error handling

2012-01-05T23:40:12Z

We're doing some odd things there, which already messes up various users (see the net/socket.c code that this removes), and it was going to add yet more crud to the block layer because of the incorrect error code translation. ENOIOCTLCMD is not an error return that should be returned to user mode from the "ioctl()" system call, but it should *not* be translated as EINVAL ("Invalid argument"). It should be translated as ENOTTY ("Inappropriate ioctl for device"). That EINVAL confusion has apparently so permeated some code that the block layer actually checks for it, which is sad. We continue to do so for now, but add a big comment about how wrong that is, and we should remove it entirely eventually. In the meantime, this tries to keep the changes localized to just the EINVAL -> ENOTTY fix, and removing code that makes it harder to do the right thing. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vfs: cleanup do_vfs_ioctl()

2011-03-21T04:16:08Z

Move declaration of 'inode' to beginning of the function. Since it is referenced directly or indirectly (in case of FIFREEZE/FITHAW/ FS_IOC_FIEMAP) it's not harmful IMHO. And remove unnecessary casts using 'argp' instead. Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Al Viro

fs: make block fiemap mapping length at least blocksize long

2011-02-03T00:03:20Z

Some filesystems don't deal well with being asked to map less than blocksize blocks (GFS2 for example). Since we are always mapping at least blocksize sections anyway, just make sure len is at least as big as a blocksize so we don't trip up any filesystems.

fs: fix address space warnings in ioctl_fiemap()

2011-01-17T13:21:42Z

The fi_extents_start field of struct fiemap_extent_info is a user pointer but was not marked as __user. This makes sparse emit following warnings: CHECK fs/ioctl.c fs/ioctl.c:114:26: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) fs/ioctl.c:114:26: expected void [noderef] *dst fs/ioctl.c:114:26: got struct fiemap_extent *[assigned] dest fs/ioctl.c:202:14: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) fs/ioctl.c:202:14: expected void const volatile [noderef] * fs/ioctl.c:202:14: got struct fiemap_extent *[assigned] fi_extents_start fs/ioctl.c:212:27: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) fs/ioctl.c:212:27: expected void [noderef] *dst fs/ioctl.c:212:27: got char * Also add 'ufiemap' variable to eliminate unnecessary casts.

fs: Do not dispatch FITRIM through separate super_operation

2010-11-20T02:18:35Z

There was concern that FITRIM ioctl is not common enough to be included in core vfs ioctl, as Christoph Hellwig pointed out there's no real point in dispatching this out to a separate vector instead of just through ->ioctl. So this commit removes ioctl_fstrim() from vfs ioctl and trim_fs from super_operation structure. Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

BKL: remove extraneous #include

fs: Add FITRIM ioctl

2010-10-28T01:30:11Z

Adds an filesystem independent ioctl to allow implementation of file system batched discard support. I takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in the include/fs.h and its definition is as follows. struct fstrim_range { start; len; minlen; } start - first Byte to trim len - number of Bytes to trim from start minlen - minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs block size. It is also possible to specify NULL as an argument. In this case the arguments will set itself as follows: start = 0; len = ULLONG_MAX; minlen = 0; So it will trim the whole file system at one run. After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage space has been really released for wear-leveling.
