      BKL: Remove BKL from NILFS2 · d6d4c19c
      Jan Blunck 提交于
      The BKL is only used in put_super, fill_super and remount_fs that are all
      three protected by the superblocks s_umount rw_semaphore. Therefore it is
      safe to remove the BKL entirely.

      BKL: Explicitly add BKL around get_sb/fill_super · db719222
      Jan Blunck 提交于
      This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
      It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
      get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.
      
      I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
      do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
      any more.
      
      do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
      and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
      from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
      through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
      afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
      follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
      get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
      fill_super function.
      
      Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
      low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.
      
      [arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
             don't use it elsewhere]

      block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT · dd3932ed
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous
      caller.  To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs
      to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous
      state machine ahead.  So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always
      specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
      argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout.  For
      blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
      gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.
