Signed-off-by: Mateusz Guzik --- v2: - rebased on top of work.filename-refcnt ACHTUNG: there is a change queued for 6.19 merge window which treats dentry cache the same way: commit 21b561dab1406e63740ebe240c7b69f19e1bcf58 Author: Mateusz Guzik Date: Wed Nov 5 16:36:22 2025 +0100 fs: hide dentry_cache behind runtime const machinery which would result in a merge conflict in vmlinux.lds.h. thus I cherry-picked before generating the diff to avoid the issue for later. fs/namei.c | 16 ++++++++++------ include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h | 3 ++- 2 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/namei.c b/fs/namei.c index d6eac90084e1..eff4cbffe241 100644 --- a/fs/namei.c +++ b/fs/namei.c @@ -41,6 +41,8 @@ #include #include +#include + #include "internal.h" #include "mount.h" @@ -124,23 +126,25 @@ */ /* SLAB cache for struct filename instances */ -static struct kmem_cache *names_cachep __ro_after_init; +static struct kmem_cache *__names_cache __ro_after_init; +#define names_cache runtime_const_ptr(__names_cache) void __init filename_init(void) { - names_cachep = kmem_cache_create_usercopy("names_cache", sizeof(struct filename), 0, - SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN|SLAB_PANIC, offsetof(struct filename, iname), - EMBEDDED_NAME_MAX, NULL); + __names_cache = kmem_cache_create_usercopy("names_cache", sizeof(struct filename), 0, + SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN|SLAB_PANIC, offsetof(struct filename, iname), + EMBEDDED_NAME_MAX, NULL); + runtime_const_init(ptr, __names_cache); } static inline struct filename *alloc_filename(void) { - return kmem_cache_alloc(names_cachep, GFP_KERNEL); + return kmem_cache_alloc(names_cache, GFP_KERNEL); } static inline void free_filename(struct filename *p) { - kmem_cache_free(names_cachep, p); + kmem_cache_free(names_cache, p); } static inline void initname(struct filename *name) diff --git a/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h b/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h index 20939d2445e7..3abd76ac723a 100644 --- a/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h +++ b/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h @@ -956,7 +956,8 @@ defined(CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG) || defined(CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG) #define RUNTIME_CONST_VARIABLES \ RUNTIME_CONST(shift, d_hash_shift) \ RUNTIME_CONST(ptr, dentry_hashtable) \ - RUNTIME_CONST(ptr, __dentry_cache) + RUNTIME_CONST(ptr, __dentry_cache) \ + RUNTIME_CONST(ptr, __names_cache) /* Alignment must be consistent with (kunit_suite *) in include/kunit/test.h */ #define KUNIT_TABLE() \ -- 2.48.1
