lseek: the "whence" argument is called "whence"

2012-12-18T01:15:12Z

But the kernel decided to call it "origin" instead. Fix most of the sites. Acked-by: Hugh Dickins Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vfs: fix kerneldoc for generic_fh_to_parent()

VFS: Pass mount flags to sget()

2012-07-14T12:38:34Z

Pass mount flags to sget() so that it can use them in initialising a new superblock before the set function is called. They could also be passed to the compare function. Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: Al Viro

stop passing nameidata to ->lookup()

2012-07-14T12:34:32Z

Just the flags; only NFS cares even about that, but there are legitimate uses for such argument. And getting rid of that completely would require splitting ->lookup() into a couple of methods (at least), so let's leave that alone for now... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entry

2012-05-11T02:54:35Z

This allows comparing hash and len in one operation on 64-bit architectures. Right now only __d_lookup_rcu() takes advantage of this, since that is the case we care most about. The use of anonymous struct/unions hides the alternate 64-bit approach from most users, the exception being a few cases where we initialize a 'struct qstr' with a static initializer. This makes the problematic cases use a new QSTR_INIT() helper function for that (but initializing just the name pointer with a "{ .name = xyzzy }" initializer remains valid, as does just copying another qstr structure).

dentry leak in simple_fill_super() failure exit

2012-04-09T05:39:22Z

d_genocide() does _not_ evict dentries; it just removes extra ref pinning each of those. Normally it's followed by shrinking the tree (it's done just before generic_shutdown_super() by kill_litter_super()), but in case of simple_fill_super() nothing of that kind will follow. Just do shrink_dcache_parent() manually. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

libfs: add simple_open()

2012-04-05T22:25:50Z

debugfs and a few other drivers use an open-coded version of simple_open() to pass a pointer from the file to the read/write file ops. Add support for this simple case to libfs so that we can remove the many duplicate copies of this simple function.

Merge tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux

2012-03-24T17:24:31Z

Pull cleanup of fs/ and lib/ users of module.h from Paul Gortmaker: "Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really need it. These are trivial in scope vs the work done previously. We now have things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible. What is remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir. Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed." Fix up trivial conflicts due to clashes with other include file cleanups (including some due to the previous bug.h cleanup pull). * tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible fs: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible includecheck: delete any duplicate instances of module.h
