fs/compat: fix parameter handling for compat readv/writev syscalls

2014-02-13T21:50:14Z

commit dfd948e32af2e7b28bcd7a490c0a30d4b8df2a36 upstream. We got a report that the pwritev syscall does not work correctly in compat mode on s390. It turned out that with commit 72ec35163f9f ("switch compat readv/writev variants to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") we lost the zero extension of a couple of syscall parameters because the some parameter types haven't been converted from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t. This is needed for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters.

aio: Kill aio_rw_vect_retry()

2013-07-30T15:53:12Z

This code doesn't serve any purpose anymore, since the aio retry infrastructure has been removed. This change should be safe because aio_read/write are also used for synchronous IO, and called from do_sync_read()/do_sync_write() - and there's no looping done in the sync case (the read and write syscalls).

vfs: export lseek_execute() to modules

2013-07-03T12:23:27Z

For those file systems(btrfs/ext4/ocfs2/tmpfs) that support SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE functions, we end up handling the similar matter in lseek_execute() to update the current file offset to the desired offset if it is valid, ceph also does the simliar things at ceph_llseek(). To reduce the duplications, this patch make lseek_execute() public accessible so that we can call it directly from the underlying file systems. Thanks Dave Chinner for this suggestion.
