  • Stop the SYSV filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Replace
    sysv_read_inode() with sysv_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
    sysv_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
    instead of an inode in the event of an error.

  • This patch is inspired by Arjan's "Patch series to mark struct
    file_operations and struct inode_operations const".

    Compile tested with gcc & sparse.

  • 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.

  • 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!
