fs: Introduce DCACHE_DONTCACHE

2020-05-13T15:44:35Z

DCACHE_DONTCACHE indicates a dentry should not be cached on final dput(). Also add a helper function to mark DCACHE_DONTCACHE on all dentries pointing to a specific inode when that inode is being set I_DONTCACHE. This facilitates dropping dentry references to inodes sooner which require eviction to swap S_DAX mode. Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Ira Weiny Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

fs/namei.c: pull positivity check into follow_managed()

2019-11-15T18:49:04Z

There are 4 callers; two proceed to check if result is positive and fail with ENOENT if it isn't; one (in handle_lookup_down()) is guaranteed to yield positive and one (in lookup_fast()) is _preceded_ by positivity check. However, follow_managed() on a negative dentry is a (fairly cheap) no-op on anything other than autofs. And negative autofs dentries are never hashed, so lookup_fast() is not going to run into one of those. Moreover, successful follow_managed() on a _positive_ dentry never yields a negative one (and we significantly rely upon that in callers of lookup_fast()). In other words, we can easily transpose the positivity check and the call of follow_managed() in lookup_fast(). And that allows to fold the positivity check *into* follow_managed(), simplifying life for the code downstream of its calls. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

docs: fs: convert docs without extension to ReST

2019-07-31T19:31:05Z

There are 3 remaining files without an extension inside the fs docs dir. Manually convert them to ReST. In the case of the nfs/exporting.rst file, as the nfs docs aren't ported yet, I opted to convert and add a :orphan: there, with should be removed when it gets added into a nfs-specific part of the fs documentation.

fscrypt: clean up and improve dentry revalidation

2019-04-17T13:48:46Z

Make various improvements to fscrypt dentry revalidation: - Don't try to handle the case where the per-directory key is removed, as this can't happen without the inode (and dentries) being evicted. - Flag ciphertext dentries rather than plaintext dentries, since it's ciphertext dentries that need the special handling. - Avoid doing unnecessary work for non-ciphertext dentries. - When revalidating ciphertext dentries, try to set up the directory's i_crypt_info to make sure the key is really still absent, rather than invalidating all negative dentries as the previous code did. An old comment suggested we can't do this for locking reasons, but AFAICT this comment was outdated and it actually works fine. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o
