  • 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.

  • Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion".
    Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.

    The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core
    backing-dev congestion functions.

    This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion
    functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

  • Fat is commonly used on removable media. Mounting with -o flush tells the
    FS to write things to disk as quickly as possible. It is like -o sync, but
    much faster (and not as safe).

  • 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)

  • This patch changes generic_cont_expand(), in order to share the code
    with fatfs.

    - Use vmtruncate() if ->prepare_write() returns a error.

    Even if ->prepare_write() returns an error, it may already have added some
    blocks. So, this truncates blocks outside of ->i_size by vmtruncate().

    - Add generic_cont_expand_simple().

    The generic_cont_expand_simple() assumes that ->prepare_write() can handle
    the block boundary. With this, we don't need to care the extra byte.

    And for expanding a file size by truncate(), fatfs uses the
    added generic_cont_expand_simple().

  • All EXPORT_SYMBOL of fatfs is only for vfat/msdos. _GPL would be proper.

  • 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!
