• 96fdc72dd   anon-inodes use open coded atomic_inc for the shared inode ... Browse Code »

  Since we know the shared inode count is always >0, we can avoid igrab()
  and use an open coded atomic_inc().

  This also fixes a bug noticed by Yan Zheng : were checking
  for an IS_ERR() return from igrab(), but it actually returns NULL on error.

  kvm uses a pseudo filesystem, kvmfs, to generate inodes, a job that the
  new anonymous inodes source does much better.

• 5dc8bf813   signal/timer/event fds: anonymous inode source ... Browse Code »

  This patch add an anonymous inode source, to be used for files that need
  and inode only in order to create a file*. We do not care of having an
  inode for each file, and we do not even care of having different names in
  the associated dentries (dentry names will be same for classes of file*).
  This allow code reuse, and will be used by epoll, signalfd and timerfd
  (and whatever else there'll be).
