      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount · 454e2398
      David Howells 提交于
      Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
      permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
      
      The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
      pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
      which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
      superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
      
      The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
      superblock pointer.
      
      This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
      points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
      such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
      and mnt_sb would be set directly.
      
      The patch also makes the following changes:
      
       (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
           pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
           very little.
      
       (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
           normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
           always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
      
       (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
           dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
      
           This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
           aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
           currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
           and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
           dentries being left unculled.
      
           However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
           implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
           simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
           inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
           with child trees.
      
           [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
      
       (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
           changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

      [PATCH] zlib_inflate: Upgrade library code to a recent version · 4f3865fb
      Richard Purdie 提交于
      Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched
      version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3.
      
      The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the
      external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%)
      than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32).
      
      For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower
      on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement.  I don't
      consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to
      change the zlib_deflate code.
      
      Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most
      significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate.
      This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to
      work.
      
      This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression
      enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32.  JFFS2 sees an approx.  10% real
      world file read speed improvement.
      
      This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value.
      We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will
      take care of that for us.  This removal is also more in keeping with the
      zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've
      added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.
