      [PATCH] (4/8) ->get_sb() switchover · 73949261
      Alexander Viro authored
      convert procfs to ->get_sb().  Similar to ext2, except that we use
      get_sb_single() instead of get_sb_bdev().  Notice the we _don't_ keep
      FS_SINGLE in flags - as the matter of fact, with ->get_sb() FS_SINGLE is
      useless.

      [PATCH] (3/8) ->get_sb() switchover · 165d5003
      Alexander Viro authored
      ext2 switched to ->get_sb().  For that we had
              a) turned ext2_read_super() into ext2_fill_super() (instead of
      "return NULL if failed and sb if succeeded" it's "return error value or
      0").
              b) added ext2_get_sb(type, flags, dev, data) - all it does is
      return get_sb_bdev(type, flags, dev, data, ext2_fill_super);
              c) replaced DECLARE_...() with explicit initializer.
      That's it.

      [PATCH] (1/8) ->get_sb() switchover · 143845d1
      Alexander Viro authored
      	OK, here comes the long-promised switchover to ->get_sb().
      
      New method added - ->get_sb(type, flags, dev, data).  At this point we
      still keep ->read_super(), but it will go away in the end of series. 
      ->get_sb() is a generalization of get_sb_{bdev,nodev,single}() - as the
      matter of fact, these will become common helpers used by filesystems in
      their ->get_sb().

      Hans Reiser authored
         This is hopefully last bugfix for a bug introduced by struct inode splitting.
         Because of setting i_flags to some value and then cleaning the i_flags
         contents later, on-disk items received wrong item version ob v3.6 filesystems

      [PATCH] 2.5.4-pre1: further llseek cleanup (3/3) · 3ffa0b66
      Robert Love authored
      The previous patch did not provide protection for device lseek methods
      (drivers/* stuff).  This patch pushes the BKL into each of the remaining
      lseek methods -- without them we have a race.
      
      I'd much prefer to have a a better lock to push down than the BKL, but
      that will have to wait.
      
      Before you balk at the size, remember patch #2 in this series which
      removed much code ;-)
      
      Thanks to Al for assistance, especially a listing of affected files.

      [PATCH] 2.5.4-pre1: further llseek cleanup (2/3) · a0289e82
      Robert Love authored
      This is the second patch of three implementing further llseek cleanups,
      against 2.5.4-pre1.  It does not depend on the other patches.
      
      This patch cleans up various code and quite nicely removes much more
      code than it adds.  Specifically:
      
      - remove static lseek method which merely reimplements
        the standard no_llseek in the following seven files:
        hci_vhci.c, ite8172.c, nec_vrc5477.c, auerswald.c,
        pipe.c, netlink_dev.c, and socket.c
      
      - remove fs/ufs/file.c::ufs_file_lseek -- Al says it is
        reimplementing generic_file_llseek, so let's use that
        instead (the comment about 32-bit sizes shouldn't be
        an issue, the generic method checks size)
      
      - include smp_lock.h in 3 files missed from previous
        'remove bkl' patch
      
      - Documentation/filesystem/Locking update
      
      Please, apply.

      [PATCH] 2.5.4-pre1: further llseek cleanup (1/3) · 5284a260
      Robert Love authored
      This is the first of three patches implementing further llseek cleanup,
      against 2.5.4-pre1.
      
      The 'push locking into llseek methods' patch was integrated into 2.5.3.
      The networking filesystems, however, do not protect i_size and can not
      rely on the inode semaphore used in generic_file_llseek.
      
      This patch implements a remote_llseek method, which is basically the
      pre-2.5.3 version of generic_file_llseek.  Locking is done via the BKL.
      When we have a saner locking system in place, we can push it into this
      function in lieu.
      
      Ncpfs, nfs, and smbfs have been converted to use this new llseek.
      
      Note this is updated over the previous posted patch.

      Alexander Viro authored
      	added new helpers - vfs_stat(), vfs_lstat() and vfs_fstat().
      	fs/stat.c switched to use them.
      
      Following patches will
      
      	stat(2) variants in arch/* that used to copy inode fields manually
      	switched to vfs_*stat() and partially cleaned up
      
      	irix_...() switched from sys_new*stat() to vfs_*stat() and cleaned
      	up.  Missing LFS check added.
      
      	similar for solaris ones
      
      	ditto for x86 compatibility ones on ia64.
      
      We are almost ready to switch to ->getattr() - let filesystem decide what
      values should go into ->st_... (e.g. for CODA life would become much
      easier if it could just use ->i_size of caching file, for supermount
      we want ->i_ino inherited from underlying fs, etc.)
      
      Another thing that needs to be done is fixing the rest of LFS/uid size
      fsckups in architecture-specific variants of stat() - I've fixed several,
      but quite a few are still there.

      [PATCH] Third version of signal changes for thread groups · 676952b9
      Dave McCracken authored
      During the course of developing our pthread library (the NGPT pthread
      library) it became clear we needed some kernel support for handling
      signals.  This patch helps the library by redirecting all signals sent
      to tasks in a thread group to the thread group leader.  It also defines
      the tkill() system call so the library can signal a specific task if
      necessary. 
      
      Given that as far as I know NGPT is the only user of thread groups, and
      that this change would benefit any other user of thread groups, I'm
      submitting this for inclusion in the 2.5 kernel.
      
      Note that this patch also adds support for sys_gettid() for the
      architectures that don't have it.  While this could have been split into a
      spearate patch, it would create conflicts since this patch also adds
      sys_tkill(), so I felt it was cleaner to leave them together.
