      loop: always allow userspace partitions and optionally support automatic scanning · e03c8dd1
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      Automatic partition scanning can be requested individually per loop
      device during its setup by setting LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN. By default, no
      partition tables are scanned.
      
      Userspace can now always add and remove partitions from all loop
      devices, regardless if the in-kernel partition scanner is enabled or
      not.
      
      The needed partition minor numbers are allocated from the extended
      minors space, the main loop device numbers will continue to match the
      loop minors, regardless of the number of partitions used.

      block: add GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN · d27769ec
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      There are cases where suppressing partition scan is useful - e.g. for
      lo devices and pseudo SATA devices which advertise to be a disk but
      get upset on partition scan (some port multiplier control devices show
      such behavior).
      
      This patch adds GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN which suppresses partition scan
      regardless of the number of possible partitions.  disk_partitionable()
      is renamed to disk_part_scan_enabled() as suppressing partition scan
      doesn't imply the device can't be partitioned using
      BLKPG_ADD/DEL_PARTITION calls from userland.  show_partition() now
      directly tests disk_max_parts() to maintain backward-compatibility.
      
      -v2: Updated to make it clear that only partition scan is suppressed
           not partitioning itself as suggested by Kay Sievers.

      Fix POSIX ACL permission check · 206b1d09
      Ari Savolainen 提交于
      After commit 3567866b: "RCUify freeing acls, let check_acl() go ahead in
      RCU mode if acl is cached" posix_acl_permission is being called with an
      unsupported flag and the permission check fails. This patch fixes the issue.

      vfs: optimize inode cache access patterns · 3ddcd056
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The inode structure layout is largely random, and some of the vfs paths
      really do care.  The path lookup in particular is already quite D$
      intensive, and profiles show that accessing the 'inode->i_op->xyz'
      fields is quite costly.
      
      We already optimized the dcache to not unnecessarily load the d_op
      structure for members that are often NULL using the DCACHE_OP_xyz bits
      in dentry->d_flags, and this does something very similar for the inode
      ops that are used during pathname lookup.
      
      It also re-orders the fields so that the fields accessed by 'stat' are
      together at the beginning of the inode structure, and roughly in the
      order accessed.
      
      The effect of this seems to be in the 1-2% range for an empty kernel
      "make -j" run (which is fairly kernel-intensive, mostly in filename
      lookup), so it's visible.  The numbers are fairly noisy, though, and
      likely depend a lot on exact microarchitecture.  So there's more tuning
      to be done.
