Subject: [git pull] VFS - the first pile
Let's try to start pushing early in the window this time...
There are several big ones in that:
* pathname resolution rewrite: trailing symlink resolution is
iterative in all cases, overall structure simplified a _lot_, do_lookup()
turned into something readable, knowledge of RCU stuff localized, do_last()
returned to handling non-create cases as well, NEED_REVAL_DOT got a lot
saner.
* open-by-fhandle series by Aneesh
* O_PATH descriptors (basically, "location in namespace, not actually
opened from fs POV, can be dup'ed/passed around/etc. and used as starting
points in ...at(2) kind of syscalls, but not used for any IO; that stuff
allows to do sane pathname resolution in userland and avoids the need to
add fsckloads of extra syscalls in open-by-fhandle series).
There will be more pull requests; this is just taking care of really
heavy-weight stuff.
Please, pull from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6.git/ for-linus
Shortlog:
Al Viro (45):
compat breakage in preadv() and pwritev()
fix race in audit_get_nd()
kill path_lookup()
take RCU-dependent stuff around exec_permission() into a new helper
sanitize path_walk() mess
merge path_init and path_init_rcu
merge component type recognition
untangle the "need_reval_dot" mess
pull dropping RCU on success of link_path_walk() into path_lookupat()
pull security_inode_follow_link() into __do_follow_link()
clean up the failure exits after __do_follow_link() in do_filp_open()
Collect "operation mode" arguments of do_last() into a structure
switch do_filp_open() to struct open_flags
separate -ESTALE/-ECHILD retries in do_filp_open() from real work
kill out_dput: in link_path_walk()
pull handling of . and .. into inlined helper
clear RCU on all failure exits from link_path_walk()
make handle_dots() leave RCU mode on error
make nameidata_dentry_drop_rcu_maybe() always leave RCU mode

get rid of nd->file
switch non-create side of open() to use of do_last()
kill __lookup_one_len()
sanitize pathname component hash calculation
expand finish_open() in its only caller
move may_open() from __open_name_create() to do_last()
do_last: unify may_open() call and everyting after it
fold __open_namei_create() and open_will_truncate() into do_last()
do_last: kill a rudiment of old ->d_revalidate() workaround
path_openat: clean ELOOP handling a bit
untangle do_lookup()
reduce vfs_path_lookup() to do_path_lookup()
open-style analog of vfs_path_lookup()
clean statfs-like syscalls up
New AT_... flag: AT_EMPTY_PATH
New kind of open files - "location only".
Allow O_PATH for symlinks
readlinkat(), fchownat() and fstatat() with empty relative pathnames
Allow passing O_PATH descriptors via SCM_RIGHTS datagrams
pull handling of one pathname component into a helper
update nd->inode in __do_follow_link() instead of after do_follow_link()
Make trailing symlink resolution in path_lookupat() iterative
simplify link_path_walk() tail
Turn resolution of trailing symlinks iterative everywhere
tidy the trailing symlinks traversal up
Aneesh Kumar K.V (12):
exportfs: Return the minimum required handle size
vfs: Add name to file handle conversion support
vfs: Add open by file handle support
fs: Don't allow to create hardlink for deleted file
fs: Remove i_nlink check from file system link callback
x86: Add new syscalls for x86_32
x86: Add new syscalls for x86_64
unistd.h: Add new syscalls numbers to asm-generic
vfs: Export file system uuid via /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
ext3: Copy fs UUID to superblock.
ext4: Copy fs UUID to superblock
fs: allow AT_EMPTY_PATH in linkat(), limit that to CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
