This patch-set was created in context of clone of git branch: git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/nfs-2.6.git. tag: v3.2-rc7 v2: 1) rebased on tag "v3.2-rc7" 2) some cleanup and minor changes This is cleanup precursor patch set. It's required for easier further implementation of network-namespace-aware SUNRPC PipeFS pipes creators. Generally, this patch set split SUNRPC PipeFS logic into two parts: working with pipes (new rpc_pipe structure with link to PipeFS dentry) and creating/destroying PipeFS dentries (old rpc_inode structure with link to rpc_pipe). With this patch-set kernel PipeFS pipes users initially creates rpc_pipe data and then creates Pipefs dentries. Later these dentries will be created in notifier callbacks on PipeFS mount event from user-space and in network namespace operations for such modules like nfs and blocklayout. The following series consists of: --- Stanislav Kinsbursky (6): SUNRPC: replace inode lock with pipe lock for RPC PipeFS operations SUNRPC: split SUNPRC PipeFS pipe data and inode creation SUNRPC: cleanup PipeFS redundant RPC inode usage SUNPRC: cleanup RPC PipeFS pipes upcall interface SUNRPC: cleanup GSS pipes usage SUNRPC: split SUNPRC PipeFS dentry and private pipe data creation fs/nfs/blocklayout/blocklayout.c | 16 ++ fs/nfs/blocklayout/blocklayout.h | 2 fs/nfs/blocklayout/blocklayoutdev.c | 2 fs/nfs/blocklayout/blocklayoutdm.c | 2 fs/nfs/idmap.c | 28 +++- include/linux/sunrpc/rpc_pipe_fs.h | 20 ++- net/sunrpc/auth_gss/auth_gss.c | 130 ++++++++++-------- net/sunrpc/rpc_pipe.c | 258 +++++++++++++++++++---------------- 8 files changed, 262 insertions(+), 196 deletions(-) -- Signature -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
