readahead: sanify file_ra_state names

2007-07-19T17:04:44Z

Rename some file_ra_state variables and remove some accessors. It results in much simpler code. Kudos to Rusty! Signed-off-by: Fengguang Wu Cc: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

readahead: data structure and routines

2007-07-19T17:04:44Z

Extend struct file_ra_state to support the on-demand readahead logic. Also define some helpers for it. Signed-off-by: Fengguang Wu Cc: Steven Pratt Cc: Ram Pai Cc: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

unregister_chrdev() return void

2007-07-19T17:04:43Z

unregister_chrdev() does not return meaningful value. This patch makes it return void like most unregister_* functions. Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

locks: make posix_test_lock() interface more consistent

2007-07-18T23:17:19Z

Since posix_test_lock(), like fcntl() and ->lock(), indicates absence or presence of a conflict lock by setting fl_type to, respectively, F_UNLCK or something other than F_UNLCK, the return value is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields"

locks: export setlease to filesystems

2007-07-18T23:17:06Z

Export setlease so it can used by filesystems to implement their lease methods. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields"

locks: provide a file lease method enabling cluster-coherent leases

2007-07-18T23:14:47Z

Currently leases are only kept locally, so there's no way for a distributed filesystem to enforce them against multiple clients. We're particularly interested in the case of nfsd exporting a cluster filesystem, in which case nfsd needs cluster-coherent leases in order to implement delegations correctly. Also add some documentation. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields
