Preparations of parallel lookups (the remaining main obstacle is the need to move security_d_instantiate(); once that becomes safe, the rest will be a matter of rather short series local to fs/*.c) + preadv2/pwritev2 series from Christoph + assorted fixes. The following changes since commit f93812846f31381d35c04c6c577d724254355e7f: jffs2: reduce the breakage on recovery from halfway failed rename() (2016-03-07 23:07:10 -0500) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git for-linus for you to fetch changes up to 8b23a8ce1094f25a85826e25217c5b9779a4f5aa: Merge branches 'work.lookups', 'work.misc' and 'work.preadv2' into for-next (2016-03-18 16:07:38 -0400) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Al Viro (25): ecryptfs_lookup(): use lookup_one_len_unlocked() ecryptfs_encrypt_and_encode_filename(): drop unused argument Merge branch 'for-linus' into work.lookups do_last(): reorder and simplify a bit lookup_dcache(): lift d_alloc() into callers namei: untanlge lookup_fast() namei: change calling conventions for lookup_{fast,slow} and follow_managed() namei: simplify invalidation logics in lookup_dcache() lookup_one_len_unlocked(): use lookup_dcache() namei: massage lookup_slow() to be usable by lookup_one_len_unlocked() namei: teach lookup_slow() to skip revalidate ceph: don't bother with d_rehash() in splice_dentry() configfs: move d_rehash() into configfs_create() for regular files autofs4: don't bother with d_instantiate(dentry, NULL) in ->lookup() ceph_fill_trace(): don't bother with d_instantiate(dn, NULL) kill dentry_unhash() nfs_lookup: don't bother with d_instantiate(dentry, NULL) cifs_get_root(): use lookup_one_len_unlocked() quota: use lookup_one_len_unlocked() replace d_add_unique() with saner primitive uninline d_add() untangle fsnotify_d_instantiate() a bit don't bother with __d_instantiate(dentry, NULL) dcache.c: new helper: __d_add() Merge branches 'work.lookups', 'work.misc' and 'work.preadv2' into for-next Christoph Hellwig (5): vfs: pass a flags argument to vfs_readv/vfs_writev x86: wire up preadv2 and pwritev2 vfs: add the RWF_HIPRI flag for preadv2/pwritev2 direct-io: only use block polling if explicitly requested blk-mq: enable polling support by default David Howells (1): CacheFiles: Provide read-and-reset release counters for cachefilesd Dmitry V.
