mm: make read_cache_page synchronous

2007-05-07T19:12:51Z

Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls. I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7 possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return with a !uptodate page. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin Cc: Hugh Dickins Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] [MTD] block2mtd: remove readahead code

2007-02-20T19:22:22Z

Over the years there was a slow trickle of complaints against the readahead code. Most of them concerned performance, Peter Zijlstra stumbled over it when working unrelated changes and I believe there was an actual bug report. Oh, Andrew Morton also complained about duplicating code from mm/readahead.c. It is just not worth it. On flash media like usb sticks, readahead will make things go slow - very slow. On spinning disks, readahead may be a win, but this is definitely not the place to add it. Signed-off-by: Jörn Engel

[PATCH] [MTD] block2mtd: remove casts

2007-02-20T19:20:58Z

Remove two casts - they were not only pointless, but outright harmful. Spotted by Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: Jörn Engel

[PATCH] remove invalidate_inode_pages()

2007-02-11T18:51:31Z

Convert all calls to invalidate_inode_pages() into open-coded calls to invalidate_mapping_pages(). Leave the invalidate_inode_pages() wrapper in place for now, marked as deprecated. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

block2mtd.c: Make kernel boot command line arguments work (try 4)

2006-07-15T12:39:10Z

Trying to pass kernel command line arguments to block2mtd at boot-time does not work currently. block2mtd_setup() is called so early that kmalloc() fails nevermind being able to do open_bdev_excl() (which requires rootfs to be mounted. This patch only saves the option string at the early boot stage, and parses them later when block2mtd_init() is called. If open_bdev_excl() fails, open_by_devnum(name_to_dev_t()) is tried instead, which makes it possible to initialize the driver before rootfs has been mounted. Also gets rid of the superfluous parse_name() that only checks if name is longer than 80 chars and copies it to a string that is not kfreed. With this patch, I can boot statically compiled block2mtd, and mount jffs2 as rootfs (without modules or initrd), with lilo config like this: root=/dev/mtdblock0 append="rootfstype=jffs2 block2mtd.block2mtd=/dev/hdc2,65536" (Note that rootfstype=jffs2 is required, since the kernel only tries filesystems without "nodev" attribute by default, and jffs is "nodev"). Compared to first version of this patch, this one does not copy the parameters to the global buffer if init has already been called, and the global array is marked as __initdata. Compared to the second version of this patch, module build is fixed. Compared to the third version of this patch, statically compiled block2mtd driver with no boot-time parameter no longer gives spurious error 'cannot open device ""' Signed-off-by: Ville Herva Acked-by: Jörn Engel Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse
