fat (exportfs): move NFS support code Under memory pressure, the system may evict dentries from cache. When the FAT driver receives a NFS request involving an evicted dentry, it is unable to reconnect it to the filesystem root. This causes the request to fail, often with ENOENT. This is partially due to ineffectiveness of the current FAT NFS implementation, and partially due to an unimplemented fh_to_parent method. The latter can cause file accesses to fail on shares exported with subtree_check. This patch set provides the FAT driver with the ability to reconnect dentries. NFS file handle generation and lookups are simplified and made congruent with ext2. Testing has involved a memory-starved virtual machine running 3.5-rc5 that exports a ~2 GB vfat filesystem containing a kernel tree (~770 MB, ~40000 files, 9 levels). Both 'cp -r' and 'ls -lR' operations were performed from a client, some overlapping, some consecutive. Exports with 'subtree_check' and 'no_subtree_check' have been tested. Note that while this patch set improves FAT's NFS support, it does not eliminate ESTALE errors completely. The following should be considered for NFS clients who are sensitive to ESTALE: * Mounting with lookupcache=none Unfortunately this can degrade performance severely, particularly for deep filesystems. * Incorporating VFS patches to retry ESTALE failures on the client-side, such as https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/29/381 * Handling ESTALE errors in client application code This patch: Move NFS-related code into its own C file.

hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

fat (exportfs): move NFS support code Under memory pressure, the system may evict dentries from cache. When the FAT driver receives a NFS request involving an evicted dentry, it is unable to reconnect it to the filesystem root. This causes the request to fail, often with ENOENT. This is partially due to ineffectiveness of the current FAT NFS implementation, and partially due to an unimplemented fh_to_parent method. The latter can cause file accesses to fail on shares exported with subtree_check. This patch set provides the FAT driver with the ability to reconnect dentries. NFS file handle generation and lookups are simplified and made congruent with ext2. Testing has involved a memory-starved virtual machine running 3.5-rc5 that exports a ~2 GB vfat filesystem containing a kernel tree (~770 MB, ~40000 files, 9 levels). Both 'cp -r' and 'ls -lR' operations were performed from a client, some overlapping, some consecutive. Exports with 'subtree_check' and 'no_subtree_check' have been tested. Note that while this patch set improves FAT's NFS support, it does not eliminate ESTALE errors completely. The following should be considered for NFS clients who are sensitive to ESTALE: * Mounting with lookupcache=none Unfortunately this can degrade performance severely, particularly for deep filesystems. * Incorporating VFS patches to retry ESTALE failures on the client-side, such as https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/29/381 * Handling ESTALE errors in client application code This patch: Move NFS-related code into its own C file.
