  • 939da1084   ext4: Remove CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR ... Browse Code »

    Ted has sent out a RFC about removing this feature. Eric and Jan
    confirmed that both RedHat and SUSE enable this feature in all their
    product. David also said that "As far as I know, it's enabled in all
    Android kernels that use ext4." So it seems OK for us.

    And what's more, as inline data depends its implementation on xattr,
    and to be frank, I don't run any test again inline data enabled while
    xattr disabled. So I think we should add inline data and remove this
    config option in the same release.

    [ The savings if you disable CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR is only 27k, which
    isn't much in the grand scheme of things. Since no one seems to be
    testing this configuration except for some automated compile farms, on
    balance we are better removing this config option, and so that it is
    effectively always enabled. -- tytso ]

  • 754661f14   [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1 ... Browse Code »

    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.
