* [PATCH] shrink dentry structEric Dumazet2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple of memory cache lines. Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning (128 + 8 = 136 bytes) This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u), where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their memory needs. At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing. Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints) As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

* [PATCH] Fix up symlink function pointersAl Viro2005-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | This fixes up the symlink functions for the calling convention change: * afs, autofs4, befs, devfs, freevxfs, jffs2, jfs, ncpfs, procfs, smbfs, sysvfs, ufs, xfs - prototype change for ->follow_link() * befs, smbfs, xfs - same for ->put_link() Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] autofs4: fix infamous "Busy inodes after umount ..." messageIan Kent2005-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | If the automount daemon receives a signal which causes it to sumarily terminate the autofs4 module leaks dentries. The same problem exists with detached mount requests without the warning. This patch cleans these dentries at umount.

* [PATCH] autofs4: bad lookup fixIan Kent2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For browsable autofs maps, a mount request that arrives at the same time an expire is happening can fail to perform the needed mount. This happens becuase the directory exists and so the revalidate succeeds when we need it to fail so that lookup is called on the same dentry to do the mount. Instead lookup is called on the next path component which should be whithin the mount, but the parent isn't mounted. The solution is to allow the revalidate to continue and perform the mount as no directory creation (at mount time) is needed for browsable mount entries.

* [PATCH] autofs4: post expire race fixIan Kent2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the tail end of an expire it's possible for a process to enter autofs4_wait, with a waitq type of NFY_NONE but find that the expire is finished. In this cause autofs4_wait will try to create a new wait but not notify the daemon leading to a hang. As the wait type is meant to delay mount requests from revalidate or lookup during an expire and the expire is done all we need to do is check if the dentry is a mountpoint. If it's not then we're done. Signed-off-by: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] autofs4: avoid panic on bind mount of autofs owned directoryIan Kent2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | While this is not a solution to bind and move mounts on autofs owned directories it is necessary to fix the trady error handling. At least it avoids the kernel panic I observed checking out bug #4589.

* [PATCH] autofs4: tree race fixIan Kent2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | For tree mount maps, a call to chdir or chroot, to a directory above the moint point directories at a certain time during the expire results in the expire incorrectly thinking the tree is not busy. This patch adds a check to see if the filesystem above the tree mount points is busy and also locks the filesystem during the tree mount expire to prevent the race.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
