Subject: [PATCH 01/76] vfs: Introduce struct fs_view
Date: Tue, 8 May 2018 11:03:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180508180436.716-2-mfasheh@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180508180436.716-1-mfasheh@suse.de>
We want to de-couple some items from struct super_block, in particular those
that provide a 'fiew' into an fs.
Introduce a small struct, fs_view to contain these fields. This first patch
has a mostly empty fs_view. We do however, link it into the VFS:
Each super_block gets a default fs_view which is filled in via the
usual superblock intialization methods.
struct inode is updated to point to an fs_view structure via a new
'i_view' pointer, which replaces i_sb.
A filesystem can now optionally provide their own fs_view to point i_view
to.
So we don't lose our link from inode to superblock, fs_view gets
an embedded super_block pointer. A helper function, inode_sb() is
introduced to make getting the superblock from an inode less clunky.
Filesystems need no functional changes, and the only additional memory
usage here is the added pointer on struct super_block.
