* fs/fat/: refine chmod checksJan Engelhardt2008-02-061-3/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prohibit mode changes in non-quiet mode that cannot be stored reliably with the on-disk format. Suppose a vfat filesystem is mounted with umask=0 and [not-quiet]. Then all files will have mode 0777. Trying to change the owner will fail, because fat does not know about owners or groups. chmod 0770, on the other hand, will succeed, even though fat does not know about the permission triplet [user/group/other]. So this patch changes fat's not-quiet behavior so that only UNIX modes are accepted that can be mapped lossless between the fat disk format and the local system. There is only one attribute, and that is the readonly attribute, which is mapped to the UNIX write permission bit(s). chmod 0555 is therefore valid (taking away the +w bits <=> setting the readonly attribute). Since chmod 0775 and chmod 0755 is an ambiguous case as to whether to set or clear the readonly bit, these modes are also denied. In quiet mode, chmod and chown will continue to "succeed" as they did before, meaning that a subsequent stat() will temporarily return the new mode as long as the inode is not reread from disk, and chown will silently do nothing, not even return the new uid/gid in stat().

* sendfile: remove .sendfile from filesystems that use generic_file_sendfile()Jens Axboe2007-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | They can use generic_file_splice_read() instead. Since sys_sendfile() now prefers that, there should be no change in behaviour. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1Arjan van de Ven2007-02-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

* [PATCH] separate bdi congestion functions from queue congestion functionsAndrew Morton2006-10-201-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion". Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept. The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core backing-dev congestion functions. This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

* [PATCH] add -o flush for fatChris Mason2006-09-291-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | Fat is commonly used on removable media. Mounting with -o flush tells the FS to write things to disk as quickly as possible. It is like -o sync, but much faster (and not as safe).

* [PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ constArjan van de Ven2006-03-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] fat: support a truncate() for expanding size (generic_cont_expand)OGAWA Hirofumi2006-01-081-3/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes generic_cont_expand(), in order to share the code with fatfs. - Use vmtruncate() if ->prepare_write() returns a error. Even if ->prepare_write() returns an error, it may already have added some blocks. So, this truncates blocks outside of ->i_size by vmtruncate(). - Add generic_cont_expand_simple(). The generic_cont_expand_simple() assumes that ->prepare_write() can handle the block boundary. With this, we don't need to care the extra byte. And for expanding a file size by truncate(), fatfs uses the added generic_cont_expand_simple().

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+308
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!
