[PATCH] sysfs: fix sysfs_chmod_file

2005-07-29T20:12:49Z

o sysfs_chmod_file() must update the new iattr field in sysfs_dirent else the mode change will not be persistent in case of inode evacuation from cache. Signed-off-by: Maneesh Soni Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] inotify

2005-07-13T03:38:38Z

inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly its inability to scale and its terrible user interface: * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount. * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of stat structures. * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals? inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change notification: * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO. You get a single fd, which is select()-able. * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item you were watching is on was unmounted." * inotify can watch directories or files. Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure), Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects. See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.

[PATCH] remove duplicate get_dentry functions in various places

2005-06-23T16:45:20Z

Various filesystem drivers have grown a get_dentry() function that's a duplicate of lookup_one_len, except that it doesn't take a maximum length argument and doesn't check for \0 or / in the passed in filename. Switch all these places to use lookup_one_len. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Greg KH Cc: Paul Jackson Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] SYSFS: fix PAGE_SIZE check

2005-06-20T22:15:38Z

Without this change I can't set an attribute exactly PAGE_SIZE in length. There is no need for zero termination because the interface uses lengths. From: Jon Smirl Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] sysfs: if show/store is missing return -EIO

2005-06-20T22:15:02Z

sysfs: if attribute does not implement show or store method read/write should return -EIO instead of 0 or -EINVAL. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36Z

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
