* fs: Use KMEM_CACHE instead of kmem_cache_createKunwu Chan2024-02-021-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | commit 0a31bd5f2bbb ("KMEM_CACHE(): simplify slab cache creation") introduces a new macro. Use the new KMEM_CACHE() macro instead of direct kmem_cache_create to simplify the creation of SLAB caches.

* fs: factor out backing_file_mmap() helperAmir Goldstein2023-12-231-0/+27
| | | | | | | | Assert that the file object is allocated in a backing_file container so that file_user_path() could be used to display the user path and not the backing file's path in /proc/<pid>/maps. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>
* fs: factor out backing_file_splice_{read,write}() helpersAmir Goldstein2023-12-231-0/+51
| | | | | | | | There is not much in those helpers, but it makes sense to have them logically next to the backing_file_{read,write}_iter() helpers as they may grow more common logic in the future. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>
* fs: factor out backing_file_{read,write}_iter() helpersAmir Goldstein2023-12-231-0/+210
| | | | | | | | | | Overlayfs submits files io to backing files on other filesystems. Factor out some common helpers to perform io to backing files, into fs/backing-file.c.

* fs: prepare for stackable filesystems backing file helpersAmir Goldstein2023-12-231-0/+48
In preparation for factoring out some backing file io helpers from overlayfs, move backing_file_open() into a new file fs/backing-file.c and header. Add a MAINTAINERS entry for stackable filesystems and add a Kconfig FS_STACK which stackable filesystems need to select. For now, the backing_file struct, the backing_file alloc/free functions and the backing_file_real_path() accessor remain internal to file_table.c. We may change that in the future.
