  • 02c24a821   fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers ... Browse Code »

    Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
    in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
    the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some
    file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
    ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
    sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
    individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
    Thanks,

  • 7eaceacca   block: remove per-queue plugging ... Browse Code »
    86

    Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
    and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
    So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().

  • 9a311b96c   hpfs: remove the BKL ... Browse Code »

    This removes the BKL in hpfs in a rather awful
    way, by making the code only work on uniprocessor
    systems without kernel preemption, as suggested
    by Andi Kleen.

    The HPFS code probably has close to zero remaining
    users on current kernels, all archeological uses of
    the file system can probably be done with the significant
    restrictions.

    The hpfs_lock/hpfs_unlock functions are left in the
    code, sincen Mikulas has indicated that he is still
    interested in fixing it in a better way.

  • 405f55712   headers: smp_lock.h redux ... Browse Code »

    * Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
    * Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
    * Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
    It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

    This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
    (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)

  • 92e1d5be9   [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 2 ... 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.

  • 543ade1fc   [PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanups ... Browse Code »

    This patch cleans up generic_file_*_read/write() interfaces. Christoph
    Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups.

    In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use
    do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods. This allows us
    to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.

    Final available interfaces:

    generic_file_aio_read() - read handler
    generic_file_aio_write() - write handler
    generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler

    __generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine

  • 4b6f5d20b   [PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const ... Browse Code »

    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)

    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!
