Hi Nick, Today's linux-next merge of the vfs-scale tree got a conflict in Documentation/filesystems/Locking between commit b83be6f20a0e468f715b14225c9f897538dfe5ad ("update Documentation/filesystems/Locking") from Linus' tree and various commits from the vfs-scale tree. I fixed it up (as best I could - see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx diff --cc Documentation/filesystems/Locking index 7686e76,c1a7e72..0000000 --- a/Documentation/filesystems/Locking +++ b/Documentation/filesystems/Locking @@@ -18,13 -22,15 +22,14 @@@ prototypes char *(*d_dname)((struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen); locking rules: - dcache_lock rename_lock ->d_lock may block - d_revalidate: no no no yes - d_hash no no no yes - d_compare: no yes no no - d_delete: yes no yes no - d_release: no no no yes - d_iput: no no no yes - none have BKL + rename_lock ->d_lock may block rcu-walk + d_revalidate: no no yes no + d_revalidate_rcu:no no yes (ref-walk) maybe + d_hash no no no maybe + d_compare: yes no no maybe + d_delete: no yes no no + d_release: no no yes no + d_iput: no no yes no d_dname: no no no no --------------------------- inode_operations --------------------------- @@@ -41,11 -47,12 +46,13 @@@ ata *) int (*rename) (struct inode *, struct dentry *, struct inode *, struct dentry *); int (*readlink) (struct dentry *, char __user *,int); - int (*follow_link) (struct dentry *, struct nameidata *); + void * (*follow_link) (struct dentry *, struct nameidata *); + void (*put_link) (struct dentry *, struct nameidata *, void *); void (*truncate) (struct inode *); - int (*permission) (struct inode *, int, struct nameidata *); + int (*permission) (struct inode *, int); + int (*permission_rcu) (struct inode *, int, unsigned int); int (*check_acl)(struct inode *, int); + int (*check_acl_rcu)(struct inode *, int, unsigned int); int (*setattr) (struct dentry *, struct iattr *); int (*getattr) (struct vfsmount *, struct dentry *, struct kstat *); int (*setxattr) (struct dentry *, const char *,const void *,size_t,int); @@@ -74,7 -77,7 +81,8 @@@ put_link: n truncate: yes (see below) setattr: yes permission: no + permission_rcu: no (may not block if called in rcu-walk mode) +check_acl: no getattr: no setxattr: yes getxattr: no -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
