[GIT PULL] vfs misc
From: Christian Brauner
Date: Sat Mar 22 2025 - 06:13:18 EST
Hey Linus,
/* Summary */
Features:
- Add CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS infrastucture:
- Catch invalid modes in open.
- Use the new debug macros in inode_set_cached_link().
- Use debug-only asserts around fd allocation and install.
- Place f_ref to 3rd cache line in struct file to resolve false sharing.
Cleanups:
- Start using anon_inode_getfile_fmode() helper in various places.
- Don't take f_lock during SEEK_CUR if exclusion is guaranteed by f_pos_lock.
- Add unlikely() to kcmp().
- Remove legacy ->remount_fs method from ecryptfs after port to the new mount api.
- Remove invalidate_inodes() in favour of evict_inodes().
- Simplify ep_busy_loopER by removing unused argument.
- Avoid mmap sem relocks when coredumping with many missing pages.
- Inline getname().
- Inline new_inode_pseudo() and de-staticize alloc_inode().
- Dodge an atomic in putname if ref == 1.
- Consistently deref the files table with rcu_dereference_raw().
- Dedup handling of struct filename init and refcounts bumps.
- Use wq_has_sleeper() in end_dir_add().
- Drop the lock trip around I_NEW wake up in evict().
- Load the ->i_sb pointer once in inode_sb_list_{add,del}.
- Predict not reaching the limit in alloc_empty_file().
- Tidy up do_sys_openat2() with likely/unlikely.
- Call inode_sb_list_add() outside of inode hash lock.
- Sort out fd allocation vs dup2 race commentary.
- Turn page_offset() into a wrapper around folio_pos().
- Remove locking in exportfs around ->get_parent() call.
- try_lookup_one_len() does not need any locks in autofs.
- Fix return type of several functions from long to int in open.
- Fix return type of several functions from long to int in ioctls.
Fixes:
- Fix watch queue accounting mismatch.
