Since posix_test_lock(), like fcntl() and ->lock(), indicates absence or presence of a conflict lock by setting fl_type to, respectively, F_UNLCK or something other than F_UNLCK, the return value is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

As Peter Staubach says elsewhere (http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=118113649526444&w=2): > The problem is that some file system such as NFSv2 and NFSv3 do > not have sufficient support to be able to support leases correctly. > In particular for these two file systems, there is no over the wire > protocol support. > > Currently, these two file systems fail the fcntl(F_SETLEASE) call > accidentally, due to a reference counting difference. These file > systems should fail more consciously, with a proper error to > indicate that the call is invalid for them. Define an nfs setlease method that just returns -EINVAL. If someone can demonstrate a real need, perhaps we could reenable them in the presence of the "nolock" mount option. Signed-off-by: "J.

Since gfs2 can't prevent conflicting opens or leases on other nodes, we probably shouldn't allow it to give out leases at all. Put the newly defined lease operation into use in gfs2 by turning off lease, unless we're using the "nolock' locking module (in which case all locking is local anyway).

Export setlease so it can used by filesystems to implement their lease methods. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
-
J. Bruce Fields authored
Currently leases are only kept locally, so there's no way for a distributed filesystem to enforce them against multiple clients. We're particularly interested in the case of nfsd exporting a cluster filesystem, in which case nfsd needs cluster-coherent leases in order to implement delegations correctly. Also add some documentation. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

J. Bruce Fields authored
We've been using the convention that vfs_foo is the function that calls a filesystem-specific foo method if it exists, or falls back on a generic method if it doesn't; thus vfs_foo is what is called when some other part of the kernel (normally lockd or nfsd) wants to get a lock, whereas foo is what filesystems call to use the underlying local functionality as part of their lock implementation. So rename setlease to vfs_setlease (which will call a filesystem-specific setlease after a later patch) and __setlease to setlease. Also, vfs_setlease need only be GPL-exported as long as it's only needed by lockd and nfsd. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

this is a patch that adds support for Hilscher CIF DeviceNet and Profibus cards. I tested it on a Kontron CPX board, and Thomas reviewed it. You can find the user space part here: http://www.osadl.org/projects/downloads/UIO/user/cif-0.1.0.tar.gz Notes: cif_api.c is the main file you want to look at. It contains the functions to open, close, mmap and so on. cif_dps.c adds functions specific to Profibus cards, and cif_dn.c contains functions for DeviceNet cards. cif.c is a universal playground, it's just a small test program. The user space part of this UIO driver is still work in progress, and not everything is tested yet. At the moment, the thread in cif_api.c contains some code that artificially makes the card generate interrupts, this was added for testing and will be removed later. But the driver already contains all the functions needed for useful operation, so it gives a good idea of how such a thing looks like. For comparison, here's what you get from the manufacturer (www.hilscher.com) when you ask for a Linux 2.6 driver: http://www.tglx.de/private/hjk/cif-orig-2.6.tar.bz2 WARNING: Don't look at the code for too long, you might become sick :-) Signed-off-by: Hans-Jürgen Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Hans J. Koch authored
This interface allows the ability to write the majority of a driver in userspace with only a very small shell of a driver in the kernel itself. It uses a char device and sysfs to interact with a userspace process to process interrupts and control memory accesses. See the docbook documentation for more details on how to use this interface.

Node addition failure is detected by testing return value of sysfs_addfm_finish() which returns the number of added and removed nodes. As the function is called as the last step of addition right on top of error handling block, the if blocks looked like the following. if (sysfs_addrm_finish(&acxt)) success handling, usually return; /* fall through to error handling */ This is the opposite of usual convention in sysfs and makes the code difficult to understand. This patch inverts the test and makes those blocks look more like others.

There is a subtle bug in sysfs_create_link() failure path. When symlink creation fails because there's already a node with the same name, the target sysfs_dirent is put twice - once by failure path of sysfs_create_link() and once more when the symlink is released. Fix it by making only the symlink node responsible for putting target_sd.

This defines a dev_vdbg() call, which is enabled with -DVERBOSE_DEBUG. When enabled, dev_vdbg() acts just like dev_dbg(). When disabled, it is a NOP ... just like dev_dbg() without -DDEBUG. The specific code was moved out of a USB patch, but lots of drivers have similar support. That is, code can now be written to use an additional level of debug output, selected at compile time. Many driver authors have found this idiom to be very useful. A typical usage model is for "normal" debug messages to focus on fault paths and not be very "chatty", so that those messages can be left on during normal operation without much of a performance or syslog load. On the other hand "verbose" messages would be noisy enough that they wouldn't normally be enabled; they might even affect timings enough to change system or driver behavior.

While making sysfs indoes hashed, sysfs root inode was left out. Now that nlink accounting depends on the inode being on the hash, sysfs root inode nlink isn't adjusted properly. Put sysfs root inode on the inode hash by allocating it using sysfs_get_inode() like other sysfs inodes. While at it, massage comments a bit.

Hi, This patch kills the pointless debugfs rmdir() printk() when called on a non-empty directory. blktrace will sometimes have to call it a few times when forcefully ending a trace, which polutes the log with pointless warnings. Rationale: - It's more code to work-around this "problem" in the debugfs users, and you would have to add code to check for empty directories to do so (or assume that debugfs is using simple_ helpers, but that would be a layering violation). - Other rmdir() implementations don't complain about something this silly.

Current code sets size0 to 0 at the start of work request posting functions and then handles size0 == 0 specially within the loop over work requests. Change this so size0 is set along with f0 the first time through the loop (when nreq == 0). This makes the code easier to understand by making it clearer that f0 and size0 are always initialized if nreq != 0 without having to know that size0 == 0 implies nreq == 0. Also annotate size0 with uninitialized_var() so that this doesn't introduce a new compiler warning. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
