sysvfs: fix NULL deref. when allocating new inode

2010-06-29T22:29:32Z

A call to sysv_write_inode() in sysv_new_inode() to its new interface that replaced wait flag with writeback structure. This was broken by a9185b41a4f84971b930c519f0c63bd450c4810d ("pass writeback_control to ->write_inode").

rename the generic fsync implementations

2010-05-28T02:06:06Z

We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently. The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with, the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync which can lead to some confusion. This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious what to expect. In addition add some documentation for both methods. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

fs/sysv: dereferencing ERR_PTR()

2010-05-15T11:16:33Z

I moved the dir_put_page() inside the if condition so we don't dereference "page", if it's an ERR_PTR(). Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Al Viro

pass writeback_control to ->write_inode

2010-03-05T18:25:52Z

This gives the filesystem more information about the writeback that is happening. Trond requested this for the NFS unstable write handling, and other filesystems might benefit from this too by beeing able to distinguish between the different callers in more detail.

->write_super lock_super pushdown

2009-06-12T01:36:09Z

Push down lock_super into ->write_super instances and remove it from the caller. Following filesystem don't need ->s_lock in ->write_super and are skipped: * bfs, nilfs2 - no other uses of s_lock and have internal locks in ->write_super * ext2 - uses BKL in ext2_write_super and has internal calls without s_lock * reiserfs - no other uses of s_lock as has reiserfs_write_lock (BKL) in ->write_super * xfs - no other uses of s_lock and uses internal lock (buffer lock on superblock buffer) to serialize ->write_super. Also xfs_fs_write_super is superflous and will go away in the next merge window Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro
