* fs/sysv: stop using write_super and s_dirtArtem Bityutskiy2012-07-222-11/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It does not look like sysv FS needs 'write_super()' at all, because all it does is a timestamp update. I cannot test this patch, because this file-system is so old and probably has not been used by anyone for years, so there are no tools to create it in Linux. But from the code I see that marking the superblock as dirty is basically marking the superblock buffers as drity and then setting the s_dirt flag. And when 'write_super()' is executed to handle the s_dirt flag, we just update the timestamp and again mark the superblock buffer as dirty. Seems pointless. It looks like we can update the timestamp more opprtunistically - on unmount or remount of sync, and nothing should change. Thus, this patch removes 'sysv_write_super()' and 's_dirt'.

* fs/sysv: remove another useless write_super callArtem Bityutskiy2012-07-221-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | We do not need to call 'sysv_write_super()' from 'sysv_remount()', because VFS has called 'sysv_sync_fs()' before calling '->remount()'. So remove it. Remove also '(un)lock_super()' which obvioulsy is becoming useless in this function.

* hfs: get rid of hfs_sync_superArtem Bityutskiy2012-07-224-39/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes hfs stop using the VFS '->write_super()' method along with the 's_dirt' superblock 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 superblocks 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. Tested using fsstress from the LTP project. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* hfs: introduce VFS superblock object back-referenceArtem Bityutskiy2012-07-222-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add an 'sb' VFS superblock back-reference to the 'struct hfs_sb_info' data structure - we will need to find the VFS superblock from a 'struct hfs_sb_info' object in the next patch, so this change is jut a preparation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | We have the following pattern in 2 places in HFS if (!RDONLY) hfs_mdb_commit(); This patch pushes the RDONLY check down to 'hfs_mdb_commit()'.

* hfs: remove extra mdb write on unmountArtem Bityutskiy2012-07-221-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | HFS calls 'hfs_write_super()' from 'hfs_put_super()' in order to write the MDB to the media. However, it is not needed because VFS calls '->sync_fs()' before calling '->put_super()' - so by the time we are in 'hfs_write_super()', the MDB is already synchronized.

* hfs: push lock_super downArtem Bityutskiy2012-07-223-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | HFS uses 'lock_super()'/'unlock_super()' around 'hfs_mdb_commit()' in order to serialize MDB (Master Directory Block) changes.

We are guaranteed that __fput() will be done before we return to userland (or exit). Note that for fput() from a kernel thread we get an async behaviour; it's almost always OK, but sometimes you might need to have __fput() completed before you do anything else. There are two mechanisms for that - a general barrier (flush_delayed_fput()) and explicit __fput_sync(). Both should be used with care (as was the case for fput() from kernel threads all along).

* VFS: Split inode_permission()David Howells2012-07-142-17/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Split inode_permission() into inode- and superblock-dependent parts. This is aimed at unionmounts where the superblock from the upper layer has to be checked rather than the superblock from the lower layer as the upper layer may be writable, thus allowing an unwritable file from the lower layer to be copied up and modified.
