Patches in the vfs.fixes branch should appear in linux-next soon. Please report any outstanding bugs that were missed during review in a new review to the original patch series allowing us to drop it. It's encouraged to provide Acked-bys and Reviewed-bys even though the patch has now been applied. If possible patch trailers will be updated. Note that commit hashes shown below are subject to change due to rebase, trailer updates or similar. If in doubt, please check the listed branch. tree: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs.git branch: vfs.fixes [1/2] libfs: Return ENOSPC when the directory offset range is exhausted https://git.kernel.org/vfs/vfs/c/7f82c425d13b [2/2] libfs: Improve behavior when directory offset values wrap https://git.kernel.org/vfs/vfs/c/3e8dd5a7404a
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> This series attempts to narrow some gaps in the current tmpfs directory offset mechanism, based on misbehaviors reported by Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com> and Yang Erkun <yangerkun@huawei.com>. It does not fully close the window on bad behavior, as noted in the patch description of 2/2. Perhaps discussion and review can identify improvements that further clean up the corner cases. The new mechanism attempts to re-use existing fields in struct dentry rather than adding new fields, and is meant to be back ported to LTS once it is merged upstream. The patches currently pass xfstests, in particular generic/736. The series has been pushed to: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux.git/log/?h=nfsd-testing Chuck Lever (2): libfs: Return ENOSPC when the directory offset range is exhausted libfs: Improve behavior when directory offset values wrap fs/libfs.c | 40 ++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-)
