* System call wrappers part 15Heiko Carstens2009-01-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | commit a26eab2400f0477bfac0255600552394855016f7 upstream. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* Fix a race condition in FASYNC handlingJonathan Corbet2008-12-131-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 218d11a8b071b23b76c484fd5f72a4fe3306801e upstream. Changeset a238b790d5f99c7832f9b73ac8847025815b85f7 (Call fasync() functions without the BKL) introduced a race which could leave file->f_flags in a state inconsistent with what the underlying driver/filesystem believes. Revert that change, and also fix the same races in ioctl_fioasync() and ioctl_fionbio(). This is a minimal, short-term fix; the real fix will not involve the BKL.

* VFS: factor out three helpers for FIBMAP/FIONBIO/FIOASYNC file ioctlsErez Zadok2008-02-071-54/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | Factor out file-specific ioctl code into smaller helper functions, away from file_ioctl(). This helps code readability and also reduces indentation inside case statements.

* VFS: swap do_ioctl and vfs_ioctl namesErez Zadok2008-02-071-8/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename old vfs_ioctl to do_ioctl, because the comment above it clearly indicates that it is an internal function not to be exported to modules; therefore it should have a more traditional do_XXX name. The new do_ioctl is exported in fs.h but not to modules. Rename the old do_ioctl to vfs_ioctl because the names vfs_XXX should preferably be reserved to callable VFS functions which modules may call, as many other vfs_XXX functions already do. Export the new vfs_ioctl to GPL modules so others can use it (including Unionfs and eCryptfs). Add DocBook for new vfs_ioctl.

* drop obsolete sys_ioctl exportChristoph Hellwig2007-07-161-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sys_ioctl() was only exported for our first version of compat ioctl handling. Now that the whole compat ioctl handling mess is more or less sorted out there are no more modular users left and we can kill it. There's one exception and that's sparc64's solaris compat module, but sparc64 has it's own export predating the generic one by years for that which this patch leaves untouched.

* vanishing ioctl handler debuggingAndrew Morton2007-06-041-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | We've had several reoprts of the CPU jumping to 0x00000000 is do_ioctl(). I assume that there's a race and someone is zeroing out the ioctl handler while this CPU waits for the lock_kernel(). The patch adds code to detect this, then emits stuff which will hopefuly lead us to the culprit.

* [PATCH] VFS: change struct file to use struct pathJosef "Jeff" Sipek2006-12-081-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}. Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+186
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
