Introduce a handy list_first_entry macro

2007-05-08T18:15:11Z

There are many places in the kernel where the construction like foo = list_entry(head->next, struct foo_struct, list); are used. The code might look more descriptive and neat if using the macro list_first_entry(head, type, member) \ list_entry((head)->next, type, member) Here is the macro itself and the examples of its usage in the generic code. If it will turn out to be useful, I can prepare the set of patches to inject in into arch-specific code, drivers, networking, etc. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelianov Signed-off-by: Kirill Korotaev Cc: Randy Dunlap Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Zach Brown Cc: Davide Libenzi Cc: John McCutchan Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: john stultz Cc: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] rename struct namespace to struct mnt_namespace

2006-12-08T16:28:51Z

Rename 'struct namespace' to 'struct mnt_namespace' to avoid confusion with other namespaces being developped for the containers : pid, uts, ipc, etc. 'namespace' variables and attributes are also renamed to 'mnt_ns' Signed-off-by: Kirill Korotaev Signed-off-by: Cedric Le Goater Cc: Eric W. Biederman Cc: Herbert Poetzl Cc: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] core: use list_move()

2006-06-26T16:58:17Z

This patch converts the combination of list_del(A) and list_add(A, B) to list_move(A, B). Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] unbindable mounts

2005-11-08T02:18:11Z

An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation. Also unbindable mount disallows bind mounts. The semantics is as follows. Bind semantics: It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount. Move semantics: It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount. Clone-namespace semantics: If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too. Note: there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted but can be cloned during clone-namespace. Signed-off-by: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] handling of slave mounts

2005-11-08T02:18:11Z

This makes bind, rbind, move, clone namespace and umount operations aware of the semantics of slave mount (see Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt in the last patch of the series for detailed description). Signed-off-by: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] introduce slave mounts

2005-11-08T02:18:11Z

A slave mount always has a master mount from which it receives mount/umount events. Unlike shared mount the event propagation does not flow from the slave mount to the master. Signed-off-by: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] shared mounts handling: umount

2005-11-08T02:18:11Z

An unmount of a mount creates a umount event on the parent. If the parent is a shared mount, it gets propagated to all mounts in the peer group. Signed-off-by: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] shared mount handling: bind and rbind

2005-11-08T02:18:11Z

Implement handling of MS_BIND in presense of shared mounts (see Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt in the end of patch series for detailed description). Signed-off-by: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
