debugfs: function to know if debugfs is initialized

2009-03-23T15:25:46Z

Impact: add new debugfs API With ftrace, some tracers are registered in early initcalls and attempt to create files on the debugfs filesystem. Depending on when they are activated, they can try to create their file at any time. Some checks can be done on the tracing area but providing a helper to know if debugfs is registered make it really more easy.

debugfs: add helpers for exporting a size_t simple value

2009-01-07T18:00:16Z

In the same spirit as debugfs_create_*(), introduce helpers for exporting size_t values over debugfs. The only trick done is that the format verifier is kept at %llu instead of %zu; otherwise type warnings would pop up: format ‘%zu’ expects type ‘size_t’, but argument 2 has type ‘long long unsigned int’ There is no real way to fix this one--however, we can consider %llu and %zu to be compatible if we consider that we are using the same for validating in debugfs_create_{x,u}{8,16,32}().

zero i_uid/i_gid on inode allocation

2009-01-05T16:54:28Z

... and don't bother in callers. Don't bother with zeroing i_blocks, while we are at it - it's already been zeroed. i_mode is not worth the effort; it has no common default value. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

integrity: special fs magic

2008-10-12T22:47:43Z

Discussion on the mailing list questioned the use of these magic values in userspace, concluding these values are already exported to userspace via statfs and their correct/incorrect usage is left up to the userspace application. - Move special fs magic number definitions to magic.h - Add magic.h include Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar Reviewed-by: James Morris Signed-off-by: James Morris

debugfs: Implement debugfs_remove_recursive()

2008-07-22T04:54:59Z

debugfs_remove_recursive() will remove a dentry and all its children. Drivers can use this to zap their whole debugfs tree so that they don't need to keep track of every single debugfs dentry they created. It may fail to remove the whole tree in certain cases: sh-3.2# rmmod atmel-mci < /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/ios/clock mmc0: card b368 removed atmel_mci atmel_mci.0: Lost dma0chan1, falling back to PIO sh-3.2# ls /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/ ios But I'm not sure if that case can be handled in any sane manner.

libfs: allow error return from simple attributes

2008-02-08T17:22:34Z

Sometimes simple attributes might need to return an error, e.g. for acquiring a mutex interruptibly. In fact we have that situation in spufs already which is the original user of the simple attributes. This patch merged the temporarily forked attributes in spufs back into the main ones and allows to return errors.

Kobject: convert fs/* from kobject_unregister() to kobject_put()

2008-01-25T04:40:40Z

There is no need for kobject_unregister() anymore, thanks to Kay's kobject cleanup changes, so replace all instances of it with kobject_put(). Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kobject: convert kernel_kset to be a kobject

2008-01-25T04:40:24Z

kernel_kset does not need to be a kset, but a much simpler kobject now that we have kobj_attributes. We also rename kernel_kset to kernel_kobj to catch all users of this symbol with a build error instead of an easy-to-ignore build warning. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
