Miklos, This series covers many of the constant inode number leftovers from v4.12. Current status is: - For non-hardlinks, st_ino is constant and consistent with d_ino - For samefs and for non-dir, st_ino/d_ino is also persistent - For samefs, st_dev;st_ino is also system-wide unique The remaining leftovers: - Constant st_ino/d_ino for hardlinks (WIP by me) - System-wide unique st_dev;st_ino for non-samefs (WIP by Chandan?) Tested constant and consistent d_ino with improved xfstest overlay/017, already upstream, which currently fails only on the hardlink copy up test. v3: - Relax same fs contrains from v4.12 - Non "impure" dir optimizations v2: - Lookup overlay entry with lookup_one_len_noperm() v1: - Resurect Miklos's constant d_ino POC - Lookup overlay entry with lookup_one_len() Amir Goldstein (5): ovl: relax same fs constrain for ovl_check_origin() ovl: relax same fs constrain for constant st_ino vfs: factor out lookup_one_len_init() vfs: add helper lookup_one_len_noperm() ovl: consistent st_ino/d_ino fs/namei.c | 117 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------------ fs/overlayfs/inode.c | 32 +++++++----- fs/overlayfs/namei.c | 50 +++++++++++------- fs/overlayfs/overlayfs.h | 2 +- fs/overlayfs/readdir.c | 133 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- include/linux/namei.h | 1 + 6 files changed, 244 insertions(+), 91 deletions(-) -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-unionfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
