Add unlocked version of inode_add_bytes() function

2009-12-23T12:33:54Z

Quota code requires unlocked version of this function. Off course we can just copy-paste the code, but copy-pasting is always an evil. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

kill vfs_stat_fd / vfs_lstat_fd

2009-04-21T03:02:52Z

There's really no reason to keep vfs_stat_fd and vfs_lstat_fd with Oleg's vfs_fstatat. Use vfs_fstatat for the few cases having the directory fd, and switch all others to vfs_stat / vfs_lstat. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Separate out common fstatat code into vfs_fstatat

2009-04-21T03:02:51Z

This is a version incorporating Christoph's suggestion. Separate out common *fstatat functionality into a single function instead of duplicating it all over the code. Signed-off-by: Oleg Drokin Signed-off-by: Al Viro

inode->i_op is never NULL

2009-01-05T16:54:28Z

We used to have rather schizophrenic set of checks for NULL ->i_op even though it had been eliminated years ago. You'd need to go out of your way to set it to NULL explicitly _and_ a bunch of code would die on such inodes anyway. After killing two remaining places that still did that bogosity, all that crap can go away. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

[PATCH] sanitize __user_walk_fd() et.al.

2008-07-27T00:53:34Z

* do not pass nameidata; struct path is all the callers want. * switch to new helpers: user_path_at(dfd, pathname, flags, &path) user_path(pathname, &path) user_lpath(pathname, &path) user_path_dir(pathname, &path) (fail if not a directory) The last 3 are trivial macro wrappers for the first one. * remove nameidata in callers.

Introduce path_put()

2008-02-15T05:13:33Z

* Add path_put() functions for releasing a reference to the dentry and vfsmount of a struct path in the right order * Switch from path_release(nd) to path_put(&nd->path) * Rename dput_path() to path_put_conditional() [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix cifs] Signed-off-by: Jan Blunck Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Cc: Al Viro Cc: Steven French Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
