      [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] sysfs: Allow sysfs attribute files to be pollable · 4508a7a7
      NeilBrown 提交于
      It works like this:
        Open the file
        Read all the contents.
        Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works)
        When poll returns,
           close the file and go to top of loop.
         or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'.
      
      Events are signaled by an object manager calling
         sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr);
      
      If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which
      contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group).
      
      This has a cost of one int  per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject,
      one int per open file.
      
      The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify
      functionality.  Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs
      attributes as well?
      
      This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action
      to be pollable

      [PATCH] Fix oops in sysfs_hash_and_remove_file() · 36676bcb
      James Bottomley 提交于
      The problem arises if an entity in sysfs is created and removed without
      ever having been made completely visible.  In SCSI this is triggered by
      removing a device while it's initialising.
      
      The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs,
      the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made
      to it.  The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was
      never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL.
      
      (akpm: possibly a stopgap for 2.6.13 scsi problems.  May not be the
      long-term fix)

      Fix nasty ncpfs symlink handling bug. · cc314eef
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs
      used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions.  But those
      functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a
      page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still
      be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk.
      
      We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it
      is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking
      helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability.
      
      We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a
      cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine.  This
      also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

      [PATCH] inotify · 0eeca283
      Robert Love 提交于
      inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
      its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:
      
              * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
                that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
                open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
              * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
                directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
                the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
                stat structures.
              * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful.  Signals?
      
      inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
      notification:
      
              * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
      	  You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
              * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
                you were watching is on was unmounted."
              * inotify can watch directories or files.
      
      Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
      Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.
