Remove the 'devpts_root' global variable and find the root dentry using
the super_block. The super-block can be found from the device inode, using
the new wrapper, pts_sb_from_inode().
Changelog: This patch is based on an earlier patchset from Serge Hallyn
and Matt Helsley.

* make ext2_new_inode() put the inode into icache in locked state
* do not unlock until the inode is fully set up; otherwise nfsd
might pick it in half-baked state.
* make sure that ext2_new_inode() does *not* lead to two inodes with the
same inumber hashed at the same time; otherwise a bogus fhandle coming
from nfsd might race with inode creation:
nfsd: iget_locked() creates inode
nfsd: try to read from disk, block on that.
ext2_new_inode(): allocate inode with that inumber
ext2_new_inode(): insert it into icache, set it up and dirty
ext2_write_inode(): get the relevant part of inode table in cache,
set the entry for our inode (and start writing to disk)
nfsd: get CPU again, look into inode table, see nice and sane on-disk
inode, set the in-core inode from it
oops - we have two in-core inodes with the same inumber live in icache,
both used for IO. Welcome to fs corruption...

new helpers - insert_inode_locked() and insert_inode_locked4().
Hash new inode, making sure that there's no such inode in icache
already. If there is and it does not end up unhashed (as would
happen if we have nfsd trying to resolve a bogus fhandle), fail.
Otherwise insert our inode into hash and succeed.
In either case have i_state set to new+locked; cleanup ends up
being simpler with such calling conventions.

Creating a generic filesystem notification interface, fsnotify, which will be
used by inotify, dnotify, and eventually fanotify is really starting to
clutter the fs directory. This patch simply moves inotify and dnotify into
fs/notify/inotify and fs/notify/dnotify respectively to make both current fs/

are never destroyed, keep references to struct file they can outlive, nothing

whatsoever is done to prevent races with close(), should the previous, er,

struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's
sad to see it going neglected.
With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least
for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here
(64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab.
I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline
name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This
shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the
length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on...
I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant:
why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash
size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast
dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how
can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after
get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection.
At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system
with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get
nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry
will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it
would require 4.
I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the
reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast
to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and
faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are
<= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for
33-36 byte names.
Performance is a feature...

Reorder struct inotify_device to remove 8 bytes of padding on 64bit

Hi,
patch against 2.6.28-rc7.
built & tested on AMDX2 desktop.
I've not been able to send this to the listed inotify maintainers, I
just get mail failures. So I guessed filesystem was the best home for
it, hope that's ok.

When we go and allocate a bio for IO, we actually do two allocations.
One for the bio itself, and one for the bi_io_vec that holds the
actual pages we are interested in.
This feature inlines a definable amount of io vecs inside the bio
itself, so we eliminate the bio_vec array allocation for IO's up
to a certain size. It defaults to 4 vecs, which is typically 16k
of IO.

Instead of having a global bio slab cache, add a reference to one
in each bio_set that is created. This allows for personalized slabs
in each bio_set, so that they can have bios of different sizes.
This means we can personalize the bios we return. File systems may
want to embed the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocation
more items (and stuffing them in ->bi_private) after the get a bio.
Or we may want to embed a number of bio_vecs directly at the end
of a bio, to avoid doing two allocations to return a bio. This is now
possible.

We only very rarely need the mempool backing, so it makes sense to
get rid of all but one of the mempool in a bio_set. So keep the
largest bio_vec count mempool so we can always honor the largest
allocation, and "upgrade" callers that fail.
