      [PATCH] loop/shmfs fixes · 5e5ac463
      Alexander Viro authored
       - add lo->lo_blocksize
       - kill lo_get_bs() - great name, but...
       - set ->lo_device only if we do have a block device
       - pull determination of ->lo_blocksize into both branches - bdev
         variant gets it from lo_device and file one uses ->i_blocksize.
       - switched the ioctl getting information about underlying object
         to lo->lo_device ? stat.rdev : stat.dev
       - i.e. st_rdev of underlying object if it's a device and st_dev - if it's
         a file.
       - reverted the bogosity in shmem.c

      [PATCH] tmpfs: support loopback · 7fc97e8d
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Hugh Dickins
      
      Added shmem_readpage and shmem_prepare_write so tmpfs files can be used
      by the loop driver (together with simple_commit_write).  shmem_getpage
      extended to accept file page passed in, which may have to be copied
      over from swap page.
      
      Use bdget and sb_set_blocksize so loop can see our preferred blocksize
      PAGE_CACHE_SIZE.  Use copy_highpage, removed from highmem.h in 2.4.17:
      restore it but with kmap_atomics.  Restore (a simple) copy_page to
      asm-sparc64/page.h, which alone of all arches discarded it.

      [PATCH] tmpfs: shmem_file_write update · e666acdf
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Hugh Dickins
      
      Checked shmem_file_write against recent filemap source, and against
      2.4 and 2.4-ac: folded in missing fixes, mostly related to far file
      positions.  Plus the new kmap_atomic copying technique.  But for now,
      as before, no mark_page_accessed or SetPageReferenced in shmem.c: add
      those, or whatever, later on when akpm has reviewed usage elsewhere.

      [PATCH] tmpfs: shmem_file_sendfile · 2f28cc35
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Hugh Dickins
      
      Added shmem_file_sendfile to allow sendfile from tmpfs.  Checked
      do_shmem_file_read and shmem_file_read against filemap equivalents
      to add in any recent fixes (-EINVAL when count < 0 was missing).

      [PATCH] tmpfs: shmem fs cleanup · 1956960b
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Hugh Dickins
      
      Remove obsolete shmem_fs_type: we were in some doubt whether safe yet
      to do so, then found 2.5.4 typo changed it from 2.4's "shm" to "shmem"
      ever since: nobody complained, delete it - we're "tmpfs" since 2.4.4.
      Use libfs' simple_empty and simple_sync_file instead of homegrown.
      Remove exit_shmem_fs, it fools people that this might be a module.
      Allow for faint possibility that shm_mnt could not be initialized.

      [PATCH] tmpfs: shmem_getpage reading holes · 2671b00a
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Hugh Dickins
      
      Here I intended a patch to remove the unsatisfactory shmem_recalc_inode
      (which tries to work out when vmscan has freed undirtied hole pages,
      to relax its blocks-in-use limit; but can only do so per-inode when it
      needs to be per-super).  I had hoped to use the releasepage method, but
      it looks like it can't quite be bent to this task, the page might still
      be rebusied after release.  2.4-ac uses a removepage method dedicated to
      this, but I'm reluctant to ask for such a minor address_space_operation.
      
      So, leave shmem_recalc_inode as is, but avoid the issue as much as
      possible, by letting shmem_getpage use the empty_zero_page instead of
      allocating when a hole is read (but this cannot be done when it's being
      mapped, nowadays the nopage doesn't know if page will be copied or not).
      Whereupon shmem_getpage(,,,SGP_READ) can do partial trunc's holdpage.

      [PATCH] tmpfs: shmem_getpage beyond eof · 3c840525
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Hugh Dickins
      
      The last set of tmpfs patches left shmem_getpage with an inadequate
      next_index test to guard against races with truncation.  Now remove
      that check and settle the issue with checks against i_size within
      shmem_swp_alloc, which needs to know whether reading or writing.

      [PATCH] tmpfs: shmem_getpage unlock_page · e7e27221
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Hugh Dickins
      
      shmem_getpage does need to lock its page (to secure it against
      shmem_writepage), but it's easier for its callers if it unlocks
      before returning.  The only caller who appeared to be using the
      page lock was shmem_file_write, but it wasn't actually protecting
      against anything - i_sem prevents concurrent writes and truncates,
      and do_shmem_file_read was dropping the lock before copying anyway.

      [PATCH] removal of root_dev_names[] · 51924607
      Alexander Viro authored
       - name_to_kdev_t() turned into name_to_dev_t(), callers updated.
       - table of names is gone, we use driverfs instead.
      
       - root name is converted to dev_t only at prepare_namespace() time - we
         use to do it in setup and we need it after driver initialization.  So
         setup only stores the root name and leaves the work to
         prepare_namespace().
      
       - disk names for rd and cm206 changed to match the old behaviour of
         root= parser: ramdisks have ram<n> in ->disk_name now (instead of
         rd<n>) and cm206 - cm206cd (instead of cm206).

      [PATCH] i386 __verify_write fixes · d7952bdd
      Brian Gerst authored
      This patch does a few cleanups/fixes with __verify_write:
       - Only compile it when needed.
       - Move test for KERNEL_DS out of line.
       - The mmap semaphore is needed to access the vma list.
       - Use fixmap for the WP test.
       - Removes an obsolete comment in fixmap.h

         lead to interesting effects...
