Merge branch 'merge.nfs-fs_parse.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs file system parameter updates from Al Viro: "Saner fs_parser.c guts and data structures. The system-wide registry of syntax types (string/enum/int32/oct32/.../etc.) is gone and so is the horror switch() in fs_parse() that would have to grow another case every time something got added to that system-wide registry. New syntax types can be added by filesystems easily now, and their namespace is that of functions - not of system-wide enum members. IOW, they can be shared or kept private and if some turn out to be widely useful, we can make them common library helpers, etc., without having to do anything whatsoever to fs_parse() itself. And we already get that kind of requests - the thing that finally pushed me into doing that was "oh, and let's add one for timeouts - things like 15s or 2h". If some filesystem really wants that, let them do it. Without somebody having to play gatekeeper for the variants blessed by direct support in fs_parse(), TYVM. Quite a bit of boilerplate is gone. And IMO the data structures make a lot more sense now. -200LoC, while we are at it" * 'merge.nfs-fs_parse.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (25 commits) tmpfs: switch to use of invalfc() cgroup1: switch to use of errorfc() et.al. procfs: switch to use of invalfc() hugetlbfs: switch to use of invalfc() cramfs: switch to use of errofc() et.al. gfs2: switch to use of errorfc() et.al. fuse: switch to use errorfc() et.al. ceph: use errorfc() and friends instead of spelling the prefix out prefix-handling analogues of errorf() and friends turn fs_param_is_... into functions fs_parse: handle optional arguments sanely fs_parse: fold fs_parameter_desc/fs_parameter_spec fs_parser: remove fs_parameter_description name field add prefix to fs_context->log ceph_parse_param(), ceph_parse_mon_ips(): switch to passing fc_log new primitive: __fs_parse() switch rbd and libceph to p_log-based primitives struct p_log, variants of warnf() et.al. taking that one instead teach logfc() to handle prefices, give it saner calling conventions get rid of cg_invalf() ...
