[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 0/25 v2] fs: Convert all embedded bdis into separate ones

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 0/25 v2] fs: Convert all embedded bdis into separate ones

[Jan Kara]

Hello,

this is the second revision of the patch series which converts all embedded
occurences of struct backing_dev_info to use standalone dynamically allocated
structures. This makes bdi handling unified across all bdi users and generally
removes some boilerplate code from filesystems setting up their own bdi. It
also allows us to remove some code from generic bdi implementation.

The patches were only compile-tested for most filesystems (I've tested
mounting only for NFS & btrfs) so fs maintainers please have a look whether
the changes look sound to you.

This series is based on top of bdi fixes that were merged into linux-block
git tree into for-next branch. I have pushed out the result as a branch to

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs.git bdi

Changes since v1:
* Added some acks
* Added further FUSE cleanup patch
* Added removal of unused argument to bdi_register()
* Fixed up some compilation failures spotted by 0-day testing

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 04/25] fs: Provide infrastructure for dynamic BDIs in filesystems

[Jan Kara]

Provide helper functions for setting up dynamically allocated
backing_dev_info structures for filesystems and cleaning them up on
superblock destruction.

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 18/25] gfs2: Convert to properly refcounting bdi

[Jan Kara]

Similarly to set_bdev_super() GFS2 just used block device reference to
bdi. Convert it to properly getting bdi reference. The reference will
get automatically dropped on superblock destruction.

At some point I'd really like to get rid of noop_backing_dev_info and
have a NULL here..

Otherwise this looks fine..

Hmm, why iisn't gfs2 simply using the generic mount_bdev code?

Otherwise looks fine:

It is more or less. However we landed up copying it because we needed a 
slight modification in order to cope with the metafs mounts. There may 
be scope to factor out the common parts I guess. We cannot select the 
root dentry until after we've parsed the mount command line, so it is 
really just the last part of the function that is different,

Steve.
