From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Al Viro Subject: [git pull] more vfs stuff Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2011 15:54:55 +0000 Message-ID: <20110318155455.GL22723@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org To: Linus Torvalds Return-path: Received: from zeniv.linux.org.uk ([195.92.253.2]:42405 "EHLO ZenIV.linux.org.uk" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S932176Ab1CRPy4 (ORCPT ); Fri, 18 Mar 2011 11:54:56 -0400 Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-fsdevel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Mostly vfsmount-related stuff; some leftovers from mnt_devname (not all, BTW - there's more pending cleanups around nfs/super.c) plus pstore fix plus deadlock fix in pivot_root(). The really neat thing is that now we have no blocking on fs locks under namespace_sem - the only blocking stuff under it now is kmalloc(), which makes things much more robust. Please, pull from the usual place - git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6.git/ for-linus More to follow tonight - I hoped to push assorted patches accumulated during the last cycle in this pile, but that'll have to wait until the next push. Shortlog: Al Viro (6): kill simple_set_mnt() vfs: split off vfsmount-related parts of vfs_kern_mount() fix deadlock in pivot_root() change the locking order for namespace_sem don't pass 'mounting_here' flag to follow_down() lose 'mounting_here' argument in ->d_manage() Josef Bacik (1): fs: call security_d_instantiate in d_obtain_alias V2 Tony Luck (1): Some fixes for pstore Diffstat: Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt | 6 +- fs/autofs4/root.c | 6 +- fs/dcache.c | 3 + fs/internal.h | 5 +- fs/namei.c | 9 +- fs/namespace.c | 292 +++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- fs/nfsd/vfs.c | 2 +- fs/pstore/inode.c | 116 +++++++-------- fs/super.c | 96 ++---------- include/linux/dcache.h | 2 +- include/linux/fs.h | 1 - include/linux/namei.h | 2 +- 12 files changed, 271 insertions(+), 269 deletions(-)
