[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

[PATCH] fat: change uses of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} to use f_path

2006-12-08T16:28:41Z

Change all the uses of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} to f_path.{dentry,mnt} in the fat filesystem. Signed-off-by: Josef "Jeff" Sipek Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] fat: add fat_getattr()

2006-11-16T19:43:38Z

This adds fat_getattr() for setting stat->blksize. (FAT uses the size of cluster for proper I/O) Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] separate bdi congestion functions from queue congestion functions

2006-10-20T17:26:35Z

Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion". Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept. The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core backing-dev congestion functions. This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

[PATCH] Remove readv/writev methods and use aio_read/aio_write instead

2006-10-01T07:39:28Z

This patch removes readv() and writev() methods and replaces them with aio_read()/aio_write() methods. Signed-off-by: Badari Pulavarty Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] add -o flush for fat

2006-09-29T16:18:12Z

Fat is commonly used on removable media. Mounting with -o flush tells the FS to write things to disk as quickly as possible. It is like -o sync, but much faster (and not as safe). Signed-off-by: Chris Mason Cc: OGAWA Hirofumi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const

2006-03-28T17:16:06Z

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] fat: Fix truncate() write ordering

2006-02-03T16:32:10Z

The truncate() should write the file size before writing the new EOF entry. This patch fixes it. This bug was pointed out by Machida Hiroyuki. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] capable/capability.h (fs/)

[PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_sem

2006-01-09T23:59:24Z

This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your luck with it might be different. Modified-by: Ingo Molnar (finished the conversion) Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
