      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentry · 726c3342
      David Howells 提交于
      Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
      pointer.
      
      This complements the get_sb() patch.  That reduced the significance of
      sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there.  However, NFS does
      require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation.  This permits
      the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.
      
      linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
      successfully.
      
      Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

      [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] tmpfs: fix mount mpol nodelist parsing · b00dc3ad
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      I've been dissatisfied with the mpol_nodelist mount option which was
      added to tmpfs earlier in -rc.  Replace it by mpol=policy:nodelist.
      
      And it was broken: a nodelist is a comma-separated list of numbers and
      ranges; the mount options are a comma-separated list of token=values.
      Whoops, blindly strsep'ing on commas doesn't work so well: since we've
      no numeric tokens, and unlikely to add them, use that to distinguish.
      
      Move the mpol= parsing to shmem_parse_mpol under CONFIG_NUMA, reject
      all its options as invalid if not NUMA.  /proc shows MPOL_PREFERRED
      as "prefer", so use that name for the policy instead of "preferred".
      
      Enforce that mpol=default has no nodelist; that mpol=prefer has one
      node only; that mpol=bind has a nodelist; but let mpol=interleave use
      node_online_map if no nodelist given.  Describe this in tmpfs.txt.

      [PATCH] Add tmpfs options for memory placement policies · 7339ff83
      Robin Holt 提交于
      Anything that writes into a tmpfs filesystem is liable to disproportionately
      decrease the available memory on a particular node.  Since there's no telling
      what sort of application (e.g.  dd/cp/cat) might be dropping large files
      there, this lets the admin choose the appropriate default behavior for their
      site's situation.
      
      Introduce a tmpfs mount option which allows specifying a memory policy and
      a second option to specify the nodelist for that policy.  With the default
      policy, tmpfs will behave as it does today.  This patch adds support for
      preferred, bind, and interleave policies.
      
      The default policy will cause pages to be added to tmpfs files on the node
      which is doing the writing.  Some jobs expect a single process to create
      and manage the tmpfs files.  This results in a node which has a
      significantly reduced number of free pages.
      
      With this patch, the administrator can specify the policy and nodes for
      that policy where they would prefer allocations.
      
      This patch was originally written by Brent Casavant and Hugh Dickins.  I
      added support for the bind and preferred policies and the mpol_nodelist
      mount option.
