efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default

2016-04-12T21:06:28Z

[ Upstream commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 ] "rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required to POST the hardware. These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines. We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

ovl: rename filesystem type to "overlay"

2014-11-20T15:39:59Z

Some distributions carry an "old" format of overlayfs while mainline has a "new" format. The distros will possibly want to keep the old overlayfs alongside the new for compatibility reasons. To make it possible to differentiate the two versions change the name of the new one from "overlayfs" to "overlay". Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Reported-by: Serge Hallyn Cc: Andy Whitcroft

vfs: add i_op->dentry_open()

2014-10-23T22:14:35Z

Add a new inode operation i_op->dentry_open(). This is for stacked filesystems that want to return a struct file from a different filesystem. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

autofs: the documentation I wanted to read

2014-10-14T00:18:17Z

This documents autofs from the perspective of what the module actually supports rather than how automount is expected to use it. It is formatted using "markdown" and works best with Markdown.pl (markdown_py doesn't like some constructs).

Other than that, we have several new primitives for iov_iter (Matt Wilcox, culled from his XIP-related series) pushing the conversion to ->read_iter()/ ->write_iter() a bit more, a bunch of fs/dcache.c cleanups and fixes (including the external name refcounting, which gives consistent behaviour of d_move() wrt procfs symlinks for long and short names alike) and assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place.

vfs: fix typo in s_op->alloc_inode() documentation

2014-10-09T06:39:01Z

The function which calls s_op->alloc_inode() is not inode_alloc(), but instead alloc_inode() which lives in fs/inode.c . The typo was there from the beginning from 5ea626aa (VFS: update documentation, 2005) - there was no standalone inode_alloc() for the whole kernel history.
