From d3fec424b23c47686efcf3f2004c3f1c1cee4d9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Harkes Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2007 04:37:26 -0700 Subject: coda: remove CODA_STORE/CODA_RELEASE upcalls This is an variation on the patch sent by Christoph Hellwig which kills file_count abuse by the Coda kernel module by moving the coda_flush functionality into coda_release. However part of reason we were using the coda_flush callback was to allow Coda to pass errors that occur during writeback from the userspace cache manager back to close(). As Al Viro explained on linux-fsdevel, it is impossible to guarantee that such errors can in fact be returned back to the caller. There are many cases where the last reference to a file is not released by the close system call and it is also impossible to pick some close as a 'last-close' and delay it until all other references have been destroyed. The CODA_STORE/CODA_RELEASE upcall combination is clearly a broken design, and it is better to remove it completely.
