• 6b9438e13   [PATCH] fat_lock is used as a mutex, convert it to using the new mutex primitive ... Browse Code »

  The fat code uses the fat_lock always in a mutex way (taking and releasing
  the lock in the same function), the patch below converts it into the new
  mutex primitive. Please consider this patch for the code.

• 6362e4d4e   [PATCH] Fix oops in invalidate_dquots() ... Browse Code »

  When quota is being turned off we assumed that all the references to dquots
  were already dropped. That need not be true as inodes being deleted are
  not on superblock's inodes list and hence we need not reach it when
  removing quota references from inodes. So invalidate_dquots() has to wait
  for all the users of dquots (as quota is already marked as turned off, no
  new references can be acquired and so this is bound to happen rather
  early). When we do this, we can also remove the iprune_sem locking as it
  was protecting us against exactly the same problem when freeing inodes
  icache memory.

• 804f1594c   [PATCH] Move read_mostly definition to asm/cache.h ... Browse Code »

  Seems like needless clutter having a bunch of #if defined(CONFIG_$ARCH) in
  include/linux/cache.h. Move the per architecture section definition to
  asm/cache.h, and keep the if-not-defined dummy case in linux/cache.h to
  catch architectures which don't implement the section.

  Verified that symbols still go in .data.read_mostly on parisc,
  and the compile doesn't break.
