* ext2: Resolve 'dereferencing pointer to incomplete type' when enabling ↵Josh Hunt2011-01-101-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EXT2_XATTR_DEBUG When I enable EXT2_XATTR_DEBUG in fs/ext2/xattr.c I get a build error stating the following: CC fs/ext2/xattr.o fs/ext2/xattr.c: In function 'ext2_xattr_cache_insert': fs/ext2/xattr.c:841: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type fs/ext2/xattr.c:846: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type make[2]: *** [fs/ext2/xattr.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [fs/ext2] Error 2 make: *** [fs] Error 2 These lines reference ext2_xattr_cache->c_entry_count which is defined in struct mb_cache. struct mb_cache is currently only defined in fs/mbcache.c. Moving struct mb_cache definition to include/linux/mbcache.h to resolve the issue. Signed-off-by: Josh Hunt <johunt@akamai.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
* mbcache: Remove unused featuresAndreas Gruenbacher2010-08-091-15/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The mbcache code was written to support a variable number of indexes, but all the existing users use exactly one index. Simplify to code to support only that case. There are also no users of the cache entry free operation, and none of the users keep extra data in cache entries. Remove those features as well.

* vfs: fix possible deadlock in ext2, ext3, ext4 when using xattrsJan Kara2008-04-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | mb_cache_entry_alloc() was allocating cache entries with GFP_KERNEL. But filesystems are calling this function while holding xattr_sem so possible recursion into the fs violates locking ordering of xattr_sem and transaction start / i_mutex for ext2-4. Change mb_cache_entry_alloc() so that filesystems can specify desired gfp mask and use GFP_NOFS from all of them.

* [PATCH] gfp_t: fs/*Al Viro2005-10-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated - missing gfp_t in fs/* added - fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks: XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator. The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That, BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that immediately... One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is a mix of gfp_t and error indications. Left alone for now.

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!
