readlinkat(), fchownat() and fstatat() with empty relative pathnames

2011-03-15T06:21:45Z

For readlinkat() we simply allow empty pathname; it will fail unless we have dfd equal to O_PATH-opened symlink, so we are outside of POSIX scope here. For fchownat() and fstatat() we allow AT_EMPTY_PATH; let the caller explicitly ask for such behaviour. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automount

2011-01-16T01:07:33Z

Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automounting of automount point directories. This can be used by fstatat() users to permit the gathering of attributes on an automount point and also prevent mass-automounting of a directory of automount points by ls.

Mark arguments to certain syscalls as being const

2010-08-13T23:53:13Z

Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but aren't. The list includes: (*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes syscalls and some mount syscalls. (*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above. (*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls. Signed-off-by: David Howells Acked-by: David S.

Add unlocked version of inode_add_bytes() function

2009-12-23T12:33:54Z

Quota code requires unlocked version of this function. Off course we can just copy-paste the code, but copy-pasting is always an evil. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

kill vfs_stat_fd / vfs_lstat_fd

2009-04-21T03:02:52Z

There's really no reason to keep vfs_stat_fd and vfs_lstat_fd with Oleg's vfs_fstatat. Use vfs_fstatat for the few cases having the directory fd, and switch all others to vfs_stat / vfs_lstat. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Separate out common fstatat code into vfs_fstatat

2009-04-21T03:02:51Z

This is a version incorporating Christoph's suggestion. Separate out common *fstatat functionality into a single function instead of duplicating it all over the code. Signed-off-by: Oleg Drokin Signed-off-by: Al Viro
