ext2,ext3,ext4: don't inherit APPEND_FL or IMMUTABLE_FL for new inodes

2011-11-11T17:36:32Z

commit 1cd9f0976aa4606db8d6e3dc3edd0aca8019372a upstream. This doesn't make much sense, and it exposes a bug in the kernel where attempts to create a new file in an append-only directory using O_CREAT will fail (but still leave a zero-length file). This was discovered when xfstests #79 was generalized so it could run on all file systems. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inode

2011-05-27T11:04:40Z

Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not. This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet. I plan to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid tree interdependencies. Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block. That has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

ext3: use little-endian bitops

2011-03-24T02:46:17Z

As a preparation for removing ext2 non-atomic bit operations from asm/bitops.h. This converts ext2 non-atomic bit operations to little-endian bit operations. Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita Acked-by: Jan Kara Cc: Andreas Dilger Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

fs/vfs/security: pass last path component to LSM on inode creation

2011-02-01T16:12:29Z

SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path, just the last component of the path. This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating /etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name exists it is fine to pass NULL. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

ext3: speed up file creates by optimizing rec_len functions

2011-01-10T18:04:07Z

The addition of 64k block capability in the rec_len_from_disk and rec_len_to_disk functions added a bit of math overhead which slows down file create workloads needlessly when the architecture cannot even support 64k blocks, thanks to page size limits. Similar changes already exist in the ext4 codebase. The directory entry checking can also be optimized a bit by sprinkling in some unlikely() conditions to move the error handling out of line. bonnie++ sequential file creates on a 512MB ramdisk speeds up from about 77,000/s to about 82,000/s, about a 6% improvement.

ext3: Add batched discard support for ext3

2011-01-10T18:03:58Z

Walk through allocation groups and trim all free extents. It can be invoked through FITRIM ioctl on the file system. The main idea is to provide a way to trim the whole file system if needed, since some SSD's may suffer from performance loss after the whole device was filled (it does not mean that fs is full!). It search for free extents in allocation groups specified by Byte range start -> start+len. When the free extent is within this range, blocks are marked as used and then trimmed. Afterwards these blocks are marked as free in per-group bitmap.

All filesystems that need invalidate_inode_buffers() are doing that explicitly convert remaining ->clear_inode() to ->evict_inode() Make ->drop_inode() just return whether inode needs to be dropped fs/inode.c:clear_inode() is gone fs/inode.c:evict() doesn't care about delete vs. non-delete paths now ...

ext3: remove vestiges of nobh support

2010-07-21T14:01:47Z

The nobh option was only supported for writeback mode, but given that all write paths (except mmapped writed) actually create buffer heads, it effectively was a no-op already. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jan Kara
