* [PATCH] Update udf documentation to reflect current state of read/write supportPhillip Susi2006-11-161-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | Change Documentation/filesystems/udf.txt from saying that read/write mounts on cd media are not supported to instead state the current level of support. Specifically that it works fine on dvd+rw media and can be made to work on cd-rw media via the pktcdvd device.

By entering a non-zero value here, a user can enable the nmi watchdog to monitor the online cpus in the system. By entering a zero value here, a user can disable the nmi watchdog and free up a performance counter which could then be utilized by the oprofile subsystem, otherwise oprofile may be short a counter when in use.

An empty directory '/sys/fs/fuse/connections' is still created in sysfs, and mounting the control filesystem here provides backward compatibility. Advantages of the control filesystem over the previous solution: - allows the object directory and the attributes to be owned by the filesystem owner, hence letting unpriviled users abort the filesystem connection - does not suffer from module unload race [akpm@osdl.org: fix this fs for recent dhowells depredations] [akpm@osdl.org: fix 64-bit printk warnings] Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This removes a major wart from the implementation. Backgrounding of requests was introduced to allow breaking of deadlocks. However now the same can be achieved by aborting the filesystem through the 'abort' sysfs attribute. This is a change in the interface, but should not cause problems, since these kinds of deadlocks never happen during normal operation.

* | | | | | | | [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentryDavid Howells2006-06-232-2/+2

This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits the root in the vfsmount to be used instead. linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build successfully. Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.
