kill proc_ns completely

procfs inodes need only the ns_ops part; nsfs inodes don't need it at all Signed-off-by: Al Viro

take the targets of /proc//ns/ symlinks to separate fs

2014-12-11T02:30:20Z

New pseudo-filesystem: nsfs. Targets of /proc/*/ns/* live there now. It's not mountable (not even registered, so it's not in /proc/filesystems, etc.). Files on it *are* bindable - we explicitly permit that in do_loopback(). This stuff lives in fs/nsfs.c now; proc_ns_fget() moved there as well. get_proc_ns() is a macro now (it's simply returning ->i_private; would have been an inline, if not for header ordering headache). proc_ns_inode() is an ex-parrot. The interface used in procfs is ns_get_path(path, task, ops) and ns_get_name(buf, size, task, ops). Dentries and inodes are never hashed; a non-counting reference to dentry is stashed in ns_common (removed by ->d_prune()) and reused by ns_get_path() if present. See ns_get_path()/ns_prune_dentry/nsfs_evict() for details of that mechanism. As the result, proc_ns_follow_link() has stopped poking in nd->path.mnt; it does nd_jump_link() on a consistent pair it gets from ns_get_path(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro

bury struct proc_ns in fs/proc

2014-12-04T19:34:54Z

a) make get_proc_ns() return a pointer to struct ns_common b) mirror ns_ops in dentry->d_fsdata of ns dentries, so that is_mnt_ns_file() could get away with fewer dereferences. That way struct proc_ns becomes invisible outside of fs/proc/*.c Signed-off-by: Al Viro

make proc_ns_operations work with struct ns_common * instead of void *

2014-12-04T19:34:17Z

We can do that now. And kill ->inum(), while we are at it - all instances are identical. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

consolidate simple ->d_delete() instances

2013-11-16T03:04:17Z

Rename simple_delete_dentry() to always_delete_dentry() and export it. Export simple_dentry_operations, while we are at it, and get rid of their duplicates Signed-off-by: Al Viro

proc_fill_cache(): just make instantiate_t return int

all instances always return ERR_PTR(-E...) or NULL, anyway Signed-off-by: Al Viro

proc: Use nd_jump_link in proc_ns_follow_link

2013-03-09T08:14:45Z

Update proc_ns_follow_link to use nd_jump_link instead of just manually updating nd.path.dentry. This fixes the BUG_ON(nd->inode != parent->d_inode) reported by Dave Jones and reproduced trivially with mkdir /proc/self/ns/uts/a. Sigh it looks like the VFS change to require use of nd_jump_link happend while proc_ns_follow_link was baking and since the common case of proc_ns_follow_link continued to work without problems the need for making this change was overlooked.
