[PATCH] add a file_permission helper

2005-11-09T15:55:59Z

A few more callers of permission() just want to check for a different access pattern on an already open file. This patch adds a wrapper for permission() that takes a file in preparation of per-mount read-only support and to clean up the callers a little. The helper is not intended for new code, everything without the interface set in stone should use vfs_permission() Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] add a vfs_permission helper

2005-11-09T15:55:58Z

Most permission() calls have a struct nameidata * available. This helper takes that as an argument and thus makes sure we pass it down for lookup intents and prepares for per-mount read-only support where we need a struct vfsmount for checking whether a file is writeable.

[PATCH] unbindable mounts

2005-11-08T02:18:11Z

An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation. Also unbindable mount disallows bind mounts. The semantics is as follows. Bind semantics: It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount. Move semantics: It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount. Clone-namespace semantics: If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too. Note: there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted but can be cloned during clone-namespace. Signed-off-by: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] introduce slave mounts

2005-11-08T02:18:11Z

A slave mount always has a master mount from which it receives mount/umount events. Unlike shared mount the event propagation does not flow from the slave mount to the master. Signed-off-by: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] shared mounts handling: umount

2005-11-08T02:18:11Z

An unmount of a mount creates a umount event on the parent. If the parent is a shared mount, it gets propagated to all mounts in the peer group. Signed-off-by: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] shared mount handling: bind and rbind

2005-11-08T02:18:11Z

Implement handling of MS_BIND in presense of shared mounts (see Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt in the end of patch series for detailed description). Signed-off-by: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] introduce shared mounts

2005-11-08T02:18:10Z

This creates shared mounts. A shared mount when bind-mounted to some mountpoint, propagates mount/umount events to each other. All the shared mounts that propagate events to each other belong to the same peer-group. Signed-off-by: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] beginning of the shared-subtree proper

2005-11-08T02:18:10Z

A private mount does not forward or receive propagation. This patch provides user the ability to convert any mount to private. Signed-off-by: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] kernel-doc: fix some kernel-api warnings

[PATCH] VFS: pass file pointer to filesystem from ftruncate()

2005-11-07T15:53:42Z

This patch extends the iattr structure with a file pointer memeber, and adds an ATTR_FILE validity flag for this member. This is set if do_truncate() is invoked from ftruncate() or from do_coredump(). The change is source and binary compatible.
