btrfs: rcu-string: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

2020-03-23T16:01:53Z

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero." [1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

btrfs: replace GPL boilerplate by SPDX -- headers

2018-04-12T14:29:46Z

Remove GPL boilerplate text (long, short, one-line) and keep the rest, ie. personal, company or original source copyright statements. Add the SPDX header. Unify the include protection macros to match the file names. Signed-off-by: David Sterba

Btrfs: use rcu to protect device->name

2012-06-15T01:29:16Z

Al pointed out that we can just toss out the old name on a device and add a new one arbitrarily, so anybody who uses device->name in printk could possibly use free'd memory. Instead of adding locking around all of this he suggested doing it with RCU, so I've introduced a struct rcu_string that does just that and have gone through and protected all accesses to device->name that aren't under the uuid_mutex with rcu_read_lock(). This protects us and I will use it for dealing with removing the device that we used to mount the file system in a later patch. Thanks, Reviewed-by: David Sterba Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik
