• 923f4f239   [PATCH] pipe.c/fifo.c code cleanups ... Browse Code »

  more code cleanups after the macro conversion:

  - standardize on 'struct pipe_inode_info *pipe' variable names
  - introduce 'pipe' temporaries to reduce mass inode->i_pipe dereferencing

• 3a326a2ce   [PATCH] introduce a "kernel-internal pipe object" abstraction ... Browse Code »

  separate out the 'internal pipe object' abstraction, and make it
  usable to splice. This cleans up and fixes several aspects of the
  internal splice APIs and the pipe code:

  - pipes: the allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info is now more symmetric
  and more streamlined with existing kernel practices.

  - splice: small micro-optimization: less pointer dereferencing in splice
  methods

• 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)

• d19e99740   Simplify fifo_open() locking logic ... Browse Code »

  We don't do interruptible waits for the pipe mutex anywhere else any
  more either, so don't do it in fifo_open() either.

• 1b1dcc1b5   [PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_sem ... Browse Code »

  This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
  XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
  luck with it might be different.

  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!
