reiserfs: get rid of resierfs_sync_super

2012-06-01T14:37:36+00:00

This patch stops reiserfs using the VFS 'write_super()' method along with the s_dirt flag, because they are on their way out. The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and writes out all dirty superblock using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every 5 seconds, even if there are no diry superblocks, or there are no client file-systems which would need this (e.g., btrfs does not use '->write_super()'). So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make file-systems to stop using the '->write_super()' VFS service, and then remove it together with the kernel thread.

reiserfs: mark the superblock as dirty a bit later

2012-06-01T14:37:36+00:00

The 'journal_mark_dirty()' function currently first marks the superblock as dirty by setting 's_dirt' to 1, then does various sanity checks and returns, then actuall does all the magic with the journal. This is not an ideal order, though. It makes more sense to first do all the checks, then do all the internal stuff, and at the end notify the VFS that the superblock is now dirty. This patch moves the 's_dirt = 1' assignment from the very beginning of this function to the very end. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: Al Viro

reiserfs: remove useless superblock dirtying

2012-06-01T14:37:36+00:00

The 'reiserfs_resize()' function marks the superblock as dirty by assigning 1 to 's_dirt' and then calls 'journal_mark_dirty()' which does the same. Thus, we can remove the assignment from 'reiserfs_resize()'. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: Al Viro

reiserfs: clean-up function return type

2012-06-01T14:37:36+00:00

Turn 'reiserfs_flush_old_commits()' into a void function because the callers do not cares about what it returns anyway. We are going to remove the 'sb->s_dirt' field completely and this patch is a small step towards this direction. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: Al Viro

reiserfs: cleanup reiserfs_fill_super a bit

2012-06-01T14:37:36+00:00

We have the reiserfs superblock pointer in the 'sbi' variable in this function, no need to use the 'REISERFS_SB(s)' macro which is the same. This is jut a small clean-up. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: Al Viro

->encode_fh() API change

2012-05-30T03:28:33+00:00

pass inode + parent's inode or NULL instead of dentry + bool saying whether we want the parent or not. NOTE: that needs ceph fix folded in. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

reiserfs: Remove i_mutex use from reiserfs_quota_write()

2012-05-15T21:34:38+00:00

We don't need i_mutex in reiserfs_quota_write() because writes to quota file are serialized by dqio_mutex anyway. Changes to quota files outside of quota code are forbidded and enforced by NOATIME and IMMUTABLE bits. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

vfs: Rename end_writeback() to clear_inode()

2012-05-06T05:43:41+00:00

After we moved inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() it doesn't make sense to call the function end_writeback() anymore. Rename it to clear_inode() which well says what the function really does - set I_CLEAR flag. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Fengguang Wu

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system

2012-03-28T22:58:21+00:00

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells: "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion dependencies. I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2(). This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h. The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha. (2) asm/switch_to.h Move switch_to() and related stuff here. (3) asm/exec.h Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h. (4) asm/cmpxchg.h Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg(). (5) asm/bug.h Move die() and related bits. (6) asm/auxvec.h Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here. Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis." Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it.. * tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system: (38 commits) Delete all instances of asm/system.h Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h Add #includes needed to permit the removal of asm/system.h Move all declarations of free_initmem() to linux/mm.h Disintegrate asm/system.h for OpenRISC Split arch_align_stack() out from asm-generic/system.h Split the switch_to() wrapper out of asm-generic/system.h Move the asm-generic/system.h xchg() implementation to asm-generic/cmpxchg.h Create asm-generic/barrier.h Make asm-generic/cmpxchg.h #include asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h Disintegrate asm/system.h for Xtensa Disintegrate asm/system.h for Unicore32 [based on ver #3, changed by gxt] Disintegrate asm/system.h for Tile Disintegrate asm/system.h for Sparc Disintegrate asm/system.h for SH Disintegrate asm/system.h for Score Disintegrate asm/system.h for S390 Disintegrate asm/system.h for PowerPC Disintegrate asm/system.h for PA-RISC Disintegrate asm/system.h for MN10300 ...
