A couple of updates haven't considered whether the documentation makes sense as a whole any more. Three changes here: - Remove the reference to the "DAC Addressing for Address Space Hungry Devices" section which was deleted by Jan Beulich. - Remove the comment about DMA_24BIT_MASK which became obsolete when Tobias Klauser changed the code to actually use DMA_24BIT_MASK. - Remove the section "64-bit DMA and DAC cycle support" since it's fully covered above, and contains a reference to the section deleted by Jan.

2007-10-17kernel-doc: fix doc blocks and htmlRandy Dunlap
Johannes Berg reports (Thanks!) that &struct names are not highlighted in html output format when they are inside a DOC: block. DOC: blocks were not escaped thru xml_escape() like other kernel-doc comments were. Fixed that. However, that left a problem with <p> ($blankline_html) being processed thru xml_escape(), converting it to &lt;p&gt;, which isn't good for the generated html output (the <p> should remain unchanged), so this patch also introduces the notion of "local" kernel-doc meta-characters ('\\\\mnemonic:'), which are converted to html just before writing the stream to its output file. Please report any problems that you (anyone) see in "highlighting" in any output mode (text, man, html, xml). Also update copyright to include me.

2007-10-17r/o bind mounts: rearrange may_open() to be r/o friendlyDave Hansen
may_open() calls vfs_permission() before it does checks for IS_RDONLY(inode). It checks _again_ inside of vfs_permission(). The check inside of vfs_permission() is going away eventually. With the mnt_want/drop_write() functions, all of the r/o checks (except for this one) are consistently done before calling permission(). Because of this, I'd like to use permission() to hold a debugging check to make sure that the mnt_want/drop_write() calls are actually being made. So, to do this: 1. remove the IS_RDONLY() check from permission() 2. enforce that you must mnt_want_write() before even calling permission() 3. actually add the debugging check to permission() We need to rearrange may_open() to do r/o checks before calling permission(). Here's the patch.

2007-10-17r/o bind mounts: filesystem helpers for custom 'struct file'sDave Hansen
Why do we need r/o bind mounts? This feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem. In the process of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of the number of writers to any given mount. This has a number of uses. It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems writable. It will be useful for containers in the future because users may have root inside a container, but should not be allowed to write to somefilesystems. This also replaces patches that vserver has had out of the tree for several years. It allows security enhancement by making sure that parts of your filesystem read-only (such as when you don't trust your FTP server), when you don't want to have entire new filesystems mounted, or when you want atime selectively updated. I've been using the following script to test that the feature is working as desired. It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o bind mount of it. It then performs some normal filesystem operations on the three directories, including ones that are expected to fail, like creating a file on the r/o mount. This patch: Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct file's. This patch creates a couple of helper functions which can be used by these filesystems, and will provide a unified place which the r/o bind mount code may patch. Also, rename an existing, static-scope init_file() to a less generic name.

2007-10-17PNP: don't fail device init if no DMA channel availableJan Beulich
Most drivers for devices supporting ISA DMA can operate without DMA as well (falling back zo PIO). Thus it seems inappropriate for PNP to fail device initialization in case none of the possible DMA channels are available. Instead, it should be left to the driver to decide what to do if request_dma() fails. The patch at once adjusts the code to account for the fact that pnp_assign_dma() now doesn't need to report failure anymore.

Don't set 'aborted' flag on a request if it's interrupted. We have to wait for the answer anyway, and this would only a very little time while copying the reply.

2007-10-17fuse: fix permission checking on sticky directoriesMiklos Szeredi
The VFS checks sticky bits on the parent directory even if the filesystem defines it's own ->permission(). In some situations (sshfs, mountlo, etc) the user does have permission to delete a file even if the attribute based checking would not allow it. So work around this by storing the permission bits separately and returning them in stat(), but cutting the permission bits off from inode->i_mode. This is slightly hackish, but it's probably not worth it to add new infrastructure in VFS and a slight performance penalty for all filesystems, just for the sake of fuse.

2007-10-17fuse: fix page invalidationMiklos Szeredi
Other than truncate, there are two cases, when fuse tries to get rid of cached pages: a) in open, if KEEP_CACHE flag is not set b) in getattr, if file size changed spontaneously Until now invalidate_mapping_pages() were used, which didn't get rid of mapped pages. This is wrong, and becomes more wrong as dirty pages are introduced. So instead properly invalidate all pages with invalidate_inode_pages2().

Use wake_up_all instead of wake_up in put_reserved_req(), otherwise it is possible that the right task is not woken up. Also create a separate reserved_req_waitq in addition to the blocked_waitq, since they fulfill totally separate functions.

2007-10-17fuse: update backing_dev_info congestion stateMiklos Szeredi
Set the read and write congestion state if the request queue is close to blocking, and clear it when it's not. This prevents unnecessary blocking in readahead and (when writable mmaps are allowed) writeback.
