vfs: Use const for kernel parser table

2008-10-13T17:10:37Z

This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble. This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm since then. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse Cc: Alexander Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Simplify devpts_pty_kill

2008-10-13T16:51:43Z

When creating a new pty, save the pty's inode in the tty->driver_data. Use this inode in pty_kill() to identify the devpts instance. Since we now have the inode for the pty, we can skip get_node() lookup and remove the unused get_node(). TODO: - check if the mutex_lock is needed in pty_kill().

Simplify devpts_pty_new()

2008-10-13T16:51:43Z

devpts_pty_new() is called when setting up a new pty and would not will not have an existing dentry or inode for the pty. So don't bother looking for an existing dentry - just create a new one. Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Simplify devpts_get_tty()

2008-10-13T16:51:43Z

As pointed out by H. Peter Anvin, since the inode for the pty is known, we don't need to look it up. Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Add an instance parameter devpts interfaces

2008-10-13T16:51:43Z

Pass-in 'inode' or 'tty' parameter to devpts interfaces. With multiple devpts instances, these parameters will be used in subsequent patches to identify the instance of devpts mounted. The parameters also help simplify devpts implementation. Changelog[v3]: - minor changes due to merge with ttydev updates - rename parameters to emphasize they are ptmx or pts inodes - pass-in tty_struct * to devpts_pty_kill() (this will help cleanup the get_node() call in a subsequent patch) Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] devpts: switch to IDA

Devpts code wants just numbers for tty indexes. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Al Viro

devpts: factor out PTY index allocation

2008-04-30T15:29:48Z

Factor out the code used to allocate/free a pts index into new interfaces, devpts_new_index() and devpts_kill_index(). This localizes the external data structures used in managing the pts indices.

mount options: fix devpts

2008-02-08T17:22:40Z

Add a .show_options super operation to devpts. Small cleanup: when parsing the "mode" option, mask with S_IALLUGO instead of ~S_IFMT. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Acked-by: H. Peter Anvin Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

devpts: add fsnotify create event

2007-05-08T18:14:59Z

Currently, devpts doesn't generate an fsnotify event upon pts creation because the regular vfs paths aren't involved. Deallocation, on the other hand, correctly generates a nameremove event thanks to the d_delete() invocation in devpts_pty_kill(). This patch adds the missing fsnotify_create() trigger in devpts_pty_new(). Signed-off-by: Florin Malita Acked-by: H. Peter Anvin Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Mark struct super_operations const
