[PATCH 00/19] fs cleanup: remove duplicated code on inode init v2

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

 



Al Please take care of the first patch(the vfs helper).
But it will be good if you also take the others.

Each filesystem init uid,gid,mode on inode creation.
gid inheritance is obey to posix rules. Usually this code is
copy-pasted. Some times it was done in wrong way.
Let's move this logic to separate function.

In some filesystems it is not easy to replace the code, so i've
simply skipped such fs.
Skipped fs: xfs, hugetlbfs, gfs2, cifs, affs

Some filesystems require less trivial code replacement
so i've split the patch on to per-fs basis.

Patch prepared against vfs/untested tree, but it also may
be applied on top of linux-next-2010-03-04.
There was some rejects from ocfs2's patch on linux-next tree
because of dlm changes. So i've skipp dlm changes in ocfs2's patch.
I'll send dlm changes to ocfs2 mainainers directly after
core vfs helpers changes appears in linux-next tree.
