2006-08-11fix debugfs inode leakJens Axboe
Looking at the reiser4 crash, I found a leak in debugfs. In debugfs_mknod(), we create the inode before checking if the dentry already has one attached. We don't free it if that is the case. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
2006-02-06[PATCH] debugfs: trivial comment fixVincent Hanquez
Fix trivial type mixup in the debugfs function comments. Signed-off-by: Vincent Hanquez <vincent@snarc.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-01-09[PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_semJes Sorensen
This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your luck with it might be different.

2005-06-23[PATCH] remove duplicate get_dentry functions in various placesChristoph Hellwig
Various filesystem drivers have grown a get_dentry() function that's a duplicate of lookup_one_len, except that it doesn't take a maximum length argument and doesn't check for \0 or / in the passed in filename. Switch all these places to use lookup_one_len.

2005-06-20[PATCH] libfs: add simple attribute filesArnd Bergmann
Based on the discussion about spufs attributes, this is my suggestion for a more generic attribute file support that can be used by both debugfs and spufs. Simple attribute files behave similarly to sequential files from a kernel programmers perspective in that a standard set of file operations is provided and only an open operation needs to be written that registers file specific get() and set() functions. These operations are defined as void foo_set(void *data, u64 val); and u64 foo_get(void *data); where data is the inode->u.generic_ip pointer of the file and the operations just need to make send of that pointer. The infrastructure makes sure this works correctly with concurrent access and partial read calls. A macro named DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE is provided to further simplify using the attributes. This patch already contains the changes for debugfs to use attributes for its internal file operations. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
