Call driverfs_mkdir directly, instead of going through vfs.
-
Patrick Mochel authored
This is the first of a series of patches to driverfs to _not_ use the vfs layer for file creation and deletion. The VFS layer is allowing files and directories to be removed from userspace, which we don't want at all. Per Al Viro's suggesting, I am pushing the necessary checks from the vfs_* functions into the driverfs functions, and calling them directly from the kernel interface to driverfs. This is the first, for file creation

- in mkdir: we already hold parent directory's semaphore (c.f. driverfs_create_dir) - in create: ditto (c.f. driverfs_create_file) - in unlink: ditto (c.f. driverfs_remove_file) and file's i_sem is taken in vfs_unlink - un lseek: take inode's i_sem (though I think we can replace this with a common lseek function...later)

- introduce new type of context-switch locking, this is a must-have for ia64 and sparc64. - load_balance() bug noticed by Scott Rhine and myself: scan the whole list to find imbalance number of tasks, not just the tail of the list. - sched_yield() fix: use current->array not rq->active.

Switch to set_current_state() and move before add_wait_queue(). Updated README from master HTML file. Fixed devfs entry leak in <devfs_readdir> when *readdir fails.

The patch below consolidates some duplicate code, reduces some indentation, and adds a freeing of a page in mem_read() that could be left unfreed, as far as I can see.

Sync_sbs tries to access the ->sb for the first rdev of an mddev. This can oops as the wrong arg is given to list_entry, and also if a define was faound to be failed, as failed devices have their ->sb removed. But that removal isn't necessary, so now an rdev will always have an ->sb.

Define container_of which cast from member to struct with some type checking. This is much like list_entry but is cearly for things other than lists. List_entry now uses container_of.

The old form of designated initializers are obsolete: we need to replace them with the ISO C forms before 2.6. Gcc has always supported both forms anyway.

Trivial: vfs_link in 2.5 checks S_ISDIR first, shmem_link need not repeat it, but test crept back in at some stage.

Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> reported "Bug with shared memory" to LKML 14 May: hang due to schedule in truncate_list_pages called from .... shm_destroy holding shm_lock spinlock. shm_destroy needs that lock for shm_rmid, but it can be safely unlocked once link from id to shp has been removed.

Here is a quick fix. I would like to synchronize with the irq handler changes as well. Becouse right now I know that preemption is killing the disk subsystem when moving data between disks using different request queues... In esp. It get's me in to do_request() with a queue in unplugged state. (Not everything is my fault, after all :-).
