[PATCH v7 2/6] kernfs: add a revision to identify directory node changes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add a revision counter to kernfs directory nodes so it can be used
to detect if a directory node has changed during negative dentry
revalidation.

There's an assumption that sizeof(unsigned long) <= sizeof(pointer)
on all architectures and as far as I know that assumption holds.

So adding a revision counter to the struct kernfs_elem_dir variant of
the kernfs_node type union won't increase the size of the kernfs_node
struct. This is because struct kernfs_elem_dir is at least
sizeof(pointer) smaller than the largest union variant. It's tempting
to make the revision counter a u64 but that would increase the size of
kernfs_node on archs where sizeof(pointer) is smaller than the revision
counter.
