      vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it · 91a27b2a
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
      kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
      however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
      the string.
      
      For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
      amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
      we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
      need to recopy it from userspace.
      
      This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
      a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
      string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
      
      Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
      convenient.

      do_add_mount()/umount -l races · 156cacb1
      Al Viro 提交于
      normally we deal with lock_mount()/umount races by checking that
      mountpoint to be is still in our namespace after lock_mount() has
      been done.  However, do_add_mount() skips that check when called
      with MNT_SHRINKABLE in flags (i.e. from finish_automount()).  The
      reason is that ->mnt_ns may be a temporary namespace created exactly
      to contain automounts a-la NFS4 referral handling.  It's not the
      namespace of the caller, though, so check_mnt() would fail here.
      We still need to check that ->mnt_ns is non-NULL in that case,
      though.

      brlocks/lglocks: API cleanups · 962830df
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros
      in lglock.h.  But there's no reason to not just use common utility
      functions and put all the data into a common data structure.
      
      In preparation, this patch changes the API to look more like normal
      function calls with pointers, not magic macros.
      
      The patch is rather large because I move over all users in one go to keep
      it bisectable.  This impacts the VFS somewhat in terms of lines changed.
      But no actual behaviour change.
