[PATCH 00/31] Remove iget() and read_inode() [try #5]

[PATCH 00/31] Remove iget() and read_inode() [try #5]

[David Howells]

Here's a set of patches that remove all calls to iget() and all read_inode()
functions.  They should be removed for two reasons: firstly they don't lend
themselves to good error handling, and secondly their presence is a temptation
for code outside a filesystem to call iget() to access inodes within that
filesystem.

There are a few benefits to this:

 (1) Error handling gets simpler as you can return an error code rather than
     having to call is_bad_inode().

 (2) You can now tell the difference between ENOMEM and EIO occurring in the
     read_inode() path.

 (3) The code should get smaller.  iget() is an inline function that is
     typically called 2-3 times per filesystem that uses it.  By folding the
     iget code into the read_inode code for each filesystem, it eliminates
     some duplication.

A tarball of the patches can be retrieved from:

	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/iget-remove.tar.bz2


Additionally, there are a couple of patches that introduce an ERR_CAST() macro
to be used instead of ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) constructs and apply it to all such
instances in the kernel.

Of the patches directly relevant to the subject:

The first patch adds a function, iget_failed() that is a canned piece of code
for killing an inode when the inode construction path fails.

The second and third patches makes AFS and GFS2 use iget_failed() rather than
interpolating the sequence directly.

The final patch removes iget() and read_inode().

Each of the other patches modify a filesystem that used iget() and read_inode()
to use iget_locked() instead.  The standard procedure was to convert:

	void thingyfs_read_inode(struct inode *inode)
	{
		...
	}

into:

	struct inode *thingyfs_iget(struct super_block *sp, unsigned long ino)
	{
		struct inode *inode;
		int ret;
		
		inode = iget_locked(sb, ino);
		if (!inode)
			return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
		if (!(inode->i_state & I_NEW))
			return inode;

		...
		unlock_new_inode(inode);
		return inode;
	error:
		iget_failed(inode);
		return ERR_PTR(ret);
	}

and then call thingyfs_iget() rather than iget():

	ret = -EINVAL;
	inode = iget(sb, ino);
	if (!inode || is_bad_inode(inode))
		goto error;

becomes:

	inode = thingyfs_iget(sb, ino);
	if (IS_ERR(inode)) {
		ret = PTR_ERR(inode);
		goto error;
	}

There were exceptions; most notably it appeared FAT should be calling ilookup()
not iget().

Additionally, HPPFS and HOSTFS (UM-specific filesystems) really need checking:

 hostfs_kern.c:

 (*) hostfs_iget() should perhaps subsume init_inode() and hostfs_read_inode().

 (*) It would appear that all hostfs inodes are the same inode because iget()
     was being called with inode number 0 - which forms the lookup key.

 hppfs_kern.c:

 (*) The HPPFS inode retains a pointer to the proc dentry it is shadowing, but
     whilst it does appear to retain a reference to it, it doesn't appear to
     destroy the reference if the inode goes away.

 (*) hppfs_iget() should perhaps subsume init_inode() and hppfs_read_inode().

 (*) It would appear that all hppfs inodes are the same inode because iget()
     was being called with inode number 0, which forms the lookup key.

[PATCH 01/31] Add an ERR_CAST() macro to complement ERR_PTR and co. [try #5]

[David Howells]

Add an ERR_CAST() macro to complement ERR_PTR and co. for the purposes of
casting an error entyped as one pointer type to an error of another pointer
type whilst making it explicit as to what is going on.

This provides a replacement for the ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) construct.

Just to nit, surely you don't need the cast inside the function.  The
casting happens at the call site between the argument and returned pointer.

The way it's written you kinda do, since it takes a const void * and
returns a plain void *.  But I don't think that's the best way to
write it.

Ah, right, I missed that.

It'll warn without the cast.

btw, nit time.  This style:

	return (void *)ptr;

outnumbers this style

	return (void *) ptr;

by 4 to 1.  And I don't find the space attractive, useful or logical,
personally.

[PATCH 02/31] Convert ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) instances to ERR_CAST(p) [try #5]

[David Howells]

Convert instances of ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) to ERR_CAST(p) using:

perl -spi -e 's/ERR_PTR[(]PTR_ERR[(](.*)[)][)]/ERR_CAST(\1)/' `grep -rl 'ERR_PTR[(]*PTR_ERR' fs crypto net security`

[PATCH 03/31] IGET: Introduce a function to register iget failure [try #5]

[David Howells]

Introduce a function to register failure in an inode construction path.  This
includes marking the inode under construction as bad, unlocking it and
releasing it.

[PATCH 06/31] IGET: Stop AFFS from using iget() and read_inode() [try #5]

[David Howells]

Stop the AFFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
affs_read_inode() with affs_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
affs_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.

affs_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

[PATCH 08/31] IGET: Stop BEFS from using iget() and read_inode() [try #5]

[David Howells]

Stop the BEFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
befs_read_inode() with befs_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
befs_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.

befs_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

cifs_iget() needs examining.  The comment "can not call macro FreeXid here

[PATCH 12/31] IGET: Stop EXT2 from using iget() and read_inode() [try #5]

[David Howells]

Stop the EXT2 filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
ext2_read_inode() with ext2_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
ext2_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.

ext2_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

[PATCH 14/31] IGET: Stop EXT4 from using iget() and read_inode() [try #5]

[David Howells]

Stop the EXT4 filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
ext4_read_inode() with ext4_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
ext4_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.

ext4_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

alpha:

fs/freevxfs/vxfs_inode.c:298: error: conflicting types for 'vxfs_iget'
fs/freevxfs/vxfs_extern.h:61: error: previous declaration of 'vxfs_iget' was here

Not completely trivial - the ino_t -> unsigned long conversion needs to be
propagated fairly widely in there.

(when should we be using ino_t and when should we be using unsigned long,
anyway?)

I'll just make it unsigned long.  That's what iget() took as the inode number
parameter type, so it can't behave any differently as a first guess.

On the other hand, __vxfs_iget() takes ino_t, so that's the right thing to do
in this case.

[PATCH 18/31] IGET: Stop HFSPLUS from using iget() and read_inode() [try #5]

[David Howells]

Stop the HFSPLUS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
hfsplus_read_inode() with hfsplus_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
hfsplus_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.

hfsplus_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode.

[PATCH 21/31] IGET: Stop JFS from using iget() and read_inode() [try #5]

[David Howells]

Stop the JFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
jfs_read_inode() with jfs_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
jfs_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.

jfs_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

Stop the QNX4 filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
qnx4_read_inode() with qnx4_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
qnx4_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.

qnx4_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

[PATCH 28/31] IGET: Stop OPENPROMFS from using iget() and read_inode() [try #5]

[David Howells]

Stop the OPENPROMFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
openpromfs_read_inode() with openpromfs_iget(), and call that instead of
iget().  openpromfs_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a
proper error code instead of an inode in the event of an error.

openpromfs_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of ENOMEM (not that it currently incurs any other error).

Note that the contents of hostfs_kern.c need to be examined:

 (*) hostfs_iget() should perhaps subsume init_inode() and hostfs_read_inode().

 (*) It would appear that all hostfs inodes are the same inode because iget()
     was being called with inode number 0 - which forms the lookup key.

[PATCH 30/31] IGET: Stop HPPFS from using iget() and read_inode() [try #5]

hppfs_iget(), and call that instead of iget().  hppfs_iget() then uses

the event of an error.

hppfs_fill_sb_common() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

Note that the contents of hppfs_kern.c need to be examined:

 (*) The HPPFS inode retains a pointer to the proc dentry it is shadowing, but
     whilst it does appear to retain a reference to it, it doesn't appear to
     destroy the reference if the inode goes away.

 (*) hppfs_iget() should perhaps subsume init_inode() and hppfs_read_inode().

 (*) It would appear that all hppfs inodes are the same inode because iget()
     was being called with inode number 0, which forms the lookup key.

[PATCH 31/31] IGET: Remove iget() and the read_inode() super op as being obsolete [try #5]

[David Howells]

Remove the old iget() call and the read_inode() superblock operation it uses
as these are really obsolete, and the use of read_inode() does not produce
proper error handling (no distinction between ENOMEM and EIO when marking
an inode bad).

Furthermore, this removes the temptation to use iget() to find an inode by
number in a filesystem from code outside that filesystem.

iget_locked() should be used instead.  A new function is added in an earlier
patch (iget_failed) that is to be called to mark an inode as bad, unlock it and
release it should the get routine fail.
Mark iget() and read_inode() as being obsolete and remove references to them
from the documentation.


Typically a filesystem will be modified such that the read_inode function
becomes an internal iget function, for example the following:

	void thingyfs_read_inode(struct inode *inode)
	{
		...
	}

would be changed into something like:

	struct inode *thingyfs_iget(struct super_block *sp, unsigned long ino)
	{
		struct inode *inode;
		int ret;
		
		inode = iget_locked(sb, ino);
		if (!inode)
			return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
		if (!(inode->i_state & I_NEW))
			return inode;

		...
		unlock_new_inode(inode);
		return inode;
	error:
		iget_failed(inode);
		return ERR_PTR(ret);
	}

and then thingyfs_iget() would be called rather than iget(), for example:

	ret = -EINVAL;
	inode = iget(sb, ino);
	if (!inode || is_bad_inode(inode))
		goto error;

becomes:

	inode = thingyfs_iget(sb, ino);
	if (IS_ERR(inode)) {
		ret = PTR_ERR(inode);
		goto error;
	}

Note that is_bad_inode() does not need to be called.  The error returned by
thingyfs_iget() should render it unnecessary.
