dentry leak in simple_fill_super() failure exit

2012-04-09T05:39:22Z

d_genocide() does _not_ evict dentries; it just removes extra ref pinning each of those. Normally it's followed by shrinking the tree (it's done just before generic_shutdown_super() by kill_litter_super()), but in case of simple_fill_super() nothing of that kind will follow. Just do shrink_dcache_parent() manually. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

libfs: add simple_open()

2012-04-05T22:25:50Z

debugfs and a few other drivers use an open-coded version of simple_open() to pass a pointer from the file to the read/write file ops. Add support for this simple case to libfs so that we can remove the many duplicate copies of this simple function.

Merge tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux

2012-03-24T17:24:31Z

Pull cleanup of fs/ and lib/ users of module.h from Paul Gortmaker: "Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really need it. These are trivial in scope vs the work done previously. We now have things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible. What is remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir. Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed." Fix up trivial conflicts due to clashes with other include file cleanups (including some due to the previous bug.h cleanup pull). * tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible fs: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible includecheck: delete any duplicate instances of module.h

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

fs: move code out of buffer.c

2012-01-04T03:54:07Z

Move invalidate_bdev, block_sync_page into fs/block_dev.c. Export kill_bdev as well, so brd doesn't have to open code it. Reduce buffer_head.h requirement accordingly. Removed a rather large comment from invalidate_bdev, as it looked a bit obsolete to bother moving. The small comment replacing it says enough.

fix IN_DELETE_SELF on overwriting rename() on ramfs et.al.

2011-07-22T23:42:11Z

On ramfs and other simple_rename() users IN_DELETE_SELF is not generated for victim of overwriting rename() if it's is a directory. Works on most of the local filesystems and really trivial to fix... Signed-off-by: Al Viro
