2011-01-07	fs: provide simple rcu-walk generic_check_acl implementation	Nick Piggin	1	-0/+19
	This simple implementation just checks for no ACLs on the inode, and if so, then the rcu-walk may proceed, otherwise fail it. This could easily be extended to put acls under RCU and check them under seqlock, if need be. But this implementation is enough to show the rcu-walk aware permissions code for path lookups is working, and will handle cases where there are no ACLs or ACLs in just the final element. This patch implicity converts tmpfs to rcu-aware permission check. Subsequent patches onvert ext*, xfs, and, btrfs. Each of these uses acl/permission code in a different way, so convert them all to provide templates and proof of concept. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2009-12-03	VFS: Add forget_all_cached_acls()	Steven Whitehouse	1	-0/+14
	This is required for cluster filesystems which want to use cached ACLs so that they can invalidate the cache when required. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Viro <aviro@redhat.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>
2009-06-24	Get "no acls for this inode" right, fix shmem breakage	Al Viro	1	-0/+9

2009-06-24	inline functions left without protection of ifdef (acl)	Markus Trippelsdorf	1	-1/+2

2009-06-24	helpers for acl caching + switch to those	Al Viro	1	-0/+64
	helpers: get_cached_acl(inode, type), set_cached_acl(inode, type, acl), forget_cached_acl(inode, type). ubifs/xattr.c needed includes reordered, the rest is a plain switchover. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2005-10-08	[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1	Al Viro	1	-3/+3
	- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t; - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+86
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
