Subject: [PATCH 06/39] convert ramfs and tmpfs
Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2025 08:47:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250920074759.3564072-6-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250920074759.3564072-1-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Quite a bit is already done by infrastructure changes (simple_link(),
simple_unlink()) - all that is left is replacing d_instantiate() +
pinning dget() (in ->symlink() and ->mknod()) with d_make_persistent(),
and, in case of shmem, unpinning dput() in ->unlink() with d_make_discardable().
Since d_make_persistent() accepts (and hashes) unhashed ones,
shmem situation gets simpler - we no longer care whether ->lookup()
has hashed the sucker.
With that done, we don't need kill_litter_super() for these filesystems
anymore - by the umount time all remaining dentries will be marked
persistent and kill_litter_super() will boil down to call of
kill_anon_super().
The same goes for devtmpfs and rootfs - they are handled by
ramfs or by shmem, depending upon config.
NB: strictly speaking, both devtmpfs and rootfs ought to use
ramfs_kill_sb() if they end up using ramfs; that's a separate
story and the only impact of "just use kill_{litter,anon}_super()"
is that we fail to free their sb->s_fs_info... on reboot.
That's orthogonal to the changes in this series - kill_litter_super()
is identical to kill_anon_super() for those at this point.
