Some of + * them include behavioral modifiers that send information down to the + * block layer and IO scheduler. Terminology: + * + * The block layer uses device plugging to defer IO a little bit, in + * the hope that we will see more IO very shortly. This increases + * coalescing of adjacent IO and thus reduces the number of IOs we + * have to send to the device. It also allows for better queuing, + * if the IO isn't mergeable. If the caller is going to be waiting + * for the IO, then he must ensure that the device is unplugged so + * that the IO is dispatched to the driver. + * + * All IO is handled async in Linux. This is fine for background + * writes, but for reads or writes that someone waits for completion + * on, we want to notify the block layer and IO scheduler so that they + * know about it. That allows them to make better scheduling + * decisions. So when the below references 'sync' and 'async', it + * is referencing this priority hint. + * + * With that in mind, the available types are: + * + * READ A normal read operation. Device will be plugged. + * READ_SYNC A synchronous read. Device is not plugged, caller can + * immediately wait on this read without caring about + * unplugging. + * READA Used for read-ahead operations. Lower priority, and the + * block layer could (in theory) choose to ignore this + * request if it runs into resource problems. + * WRITE A normal async write. Device will be plugged. + * SWRITE Like WRITE, but a special case for ll_rw_block() that + * tells it to lock the buffer first. Normally a buffer + * must be locked before doing IO. + * WRITE_SYNC_PLUG Synchronous write. Identical to WRITE, but passes down + * the hint that someone will be waiting on this IO + * shortly. The device must still be unplugged explicitly, + * WRITE_SYNC_PLUG does not do this as we could be + * submitting more writes before we actually wait on any + * of them. + * WRITE_SYNC Like WRITE_SYNC_PLUG, but also unplugs the device + * immediately after submission. The write equivalent + * of READ_SYNC. + * WRITE_ODIRECT Special case write for O_DIRECT only. + * SWRITE_SYNC + * SWRITE_SYNC_PLUG Like WRITE_SYNC/WRITE_SYNC_PLUG, but locks the buffer. + * See SWRITE. + * WRITE_BARRIER Like WRITE, but tells the block layer that all + * previously submitted writes must be safely on storage + * before this one is started. Also guarantees that when + * this write is complete, it itself is also safely on + * storage. Prevents reordering of writes on both sides + * of this IO. + * + */ #define RW_MASK 1 #define RWA_MASK 2 #define READ 0 @@ -102,6 +156,11 @@ struct inodes_stat_t { (SWRITE | (1 << BIO_RW_SYNCIO) | (1 << BIO_RW_NOIDLE)) #define SWRITE_SYNC (SWRITE_SYNC_PLUG | (1 << BIO_RW_UNPLUG)) #define WRITE_BARRIER (WRITE | (1 << BIO_RW_BARRIER)) + +/* + * These aren't really reads or writes, they pass down information about + * parts of device that are now unused by the file system. + */ #define DISCARD_NOBARRIER (1 << BIO_RW_DISCARD) #define DISCARD_BARRIER ((1 << BIO_RW_DISCARD) | (1 << BIO_RW_BARRIER)) @@ -738,9 +797,6 @@ enum inode_i_mutex_lock_class I_MUTEX_QUOTA }; -extern void inode_double_lock(struct inode *inode1, struct inode *inode2); -extern void inode_double_unlock(struct inode *inode1, struct inode *inode2); - /* * NOTE: in a 32bit arch with a preemptable kernel and * an UP compile the i_size_read/write must be atomic @@ -1699,6 +1755,9 @@ struct file_system_type { struct lock_class_key i_alloc_sem_key; }; +extern int get_sb_ns(struct file_system_type *fs_type, int flags, void *data, + int (*fill_super)(struct super_block *, void *, int), + struct vfsmount *mnt); extern int get_sb_bdev(struct file_system_type *fs_type, int flags, const char *dev_name, void *data, int (*fill_super)(struct super_block *, void *, int), @@ -2147,8 +2206,6 @@ extern ssize_t generic_file_splice_read(struct file *, loff_t *, struct pipe_inode_info *, size_t, unsigned int); extern ssize_t generic_file_splice_write(struct pipe_inode_info *, struct file *, loff_t *, size_t, unsigned int); -extern ssize_t generic_file_splice_write_nolock(struct pipe_inode_info *, - struct file *, loff_t *, size_t, unsigned int); extern ssize_t generic_splice_sendpage(struct pipe_inode_info *pipe, struct file *out, loff_t *, size_t len, unsigned int flags); extern long do_splice_direct(struct file *in, loff_t *ppos, struct file *out, @@ -2242,9 +2299,8 @@ extern int vfs_readdir(struct file *, filldir_t, void *); extern int vfs_stat(char __user *, struct kstat *); extern int vfs_lstat(char __user *, struct kstat *); -extern int vfs_stat_fd(int dfd, char __user *, struct kstat *); -extern int vfs_lstat_fd(int dfd, char __user *, struct kstat *); extern int vfs_fstat(unsigned int, struct kstat *); +extern int vfs_fstatat(int , char __user *, struct kstat *, int); extern int do_vfs_ioctl(struct file *filp, unsigned int fd, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg); @@ -2392,7 +2448,7 @@ struct ctl_table; int proc_nr_files(struct ctl_table *table, int write, struct file *filp, void __user *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); -int get_filesystem_list(char * buf); +int __init get_filesystem_list(char *buf); #endif /* __KERNEL__ */ #endif /* _LINUX_FS_H */ |
