fs: export variant of generic_write_checks without iov_iter

2022-03-14T12:13:50Z

Encoded I/O in Btrfs needs to check a write with a given logical size without an iov_iter that matches that size (because the iov_iter we have is for the compressed data). So, factor out the parts of generic_write_check() that don't need an iov_iter into a new generic_write_checks_count() function and export that.

fs: export rw_verify_area()

I'm adding btrfs ioctls to read and write compressed data, and rather than duplicating the checks in rw_verify_area(), let's just export it. Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval Reviewed-by: David Sterba Signed-off-by: David Sterba

fs: Remove FIXME comment in generic_write_checks()

2022-01-30T19:34:55Z

This patch removes an unnecessary comment that had to do with block special files from `generic_write_checks()`. The comment, originally added in Linux v2.4.14.9, was to clarify that we only set `pos` to the file size when the file was opened with `O_APPEND` if the file wasn't a block special file. Prior to Linux v2.4, block special files had a different `write()` function which was unified into a generic `write()` function in Linux v2.4. This generic `write()` function called `generic_write_checks()`. For more details, see this earlier conversation: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/Yc4Czk5A+p5p2Y4W@mit.edu/ Currently, block special devices have their own `write_iter()` function and no longer share the same `generic_write_checks()`, therefore rendering the comment irrelevant.

fs: clean up after mandatory file locking support removal

2021-08-24T11:52:45Z

Commit 3efee0567b4a ("fs: remove mandatory file locking support") removes some operations in functions rw_verify_area(). As these functions are now simplified, do some syntactic clean-up as follow-up to the removal as well, which was pointed out by compiler warnings and static analysis. No functional change.

fs: remove mandatory file locking support

2021-08-23T10:15:36Z

We added CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING in 2015, and soon after turned it off in Fedora and RHEL8. Several other distros have followed suit. I've heard of one problem in all that time: Someone migrated from an older distro that supported "-o mand" to one that didn't, and the host had a fstab entry with "mand" in it which broke on reboot. They didn't actually _use_ mandatory locking so they just removed the mount option and moved on. This patch rips out mandatory locking support wholesale from the kernel, along with the Kconfig option and the Documentation file. It also changes the mount code to ignore the "mand" mount option instead of erroring out, and to throw a big, ugly warning. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton
