fallocate support in ext4

2007-07-18T01:42:41Z

This patch implements ->fallocate() inode operation in ext4. With this patch users of ext4 file systems will be able to use fallocate() system call for persistent preallocation. Current implementation only supports preallocation for regular files (directories not supported as of date) with extent maps. This patch does not support block-mapped files currently. Only FALLOC_ALLOCATE and FALLOC_RESV_SPACE modes are being supported as of now. Signed-off-by: Amit Arora

sendfile: remove .sendfile from filesystems that use generic_file_sendfile()

2007-07-10T06:04:13Z

They can use generic_file_splice_read() instead. Since sys_sendfile() now prefers that, there should be no change in behaviour. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

[PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1

2007-02-12T17:48:46Z

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
