  • Commit 0edf977d2ae3 ("[readdir] convert affs") returns directly -EIO
    without unlocking dir inode and releasing dir bh when second affs_bread
    sequence fails. This patch restores initial behaviour. It also fixes
    pr_debug and affs_error to fit in 80 columns + removes reference to
    filldir (replaced by dir_emit in the commit above).

  • unfortunately, for affs (especially for affs directories) we have
    no real way to keep track of metadata ownership. So we have to
    do more or less what file_fsync() does, but we do *not* need to
    call write_super() there.

  • 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!
