staging: lustre: delete the filesystem from the tree.

2018-06-05T17:22:35Z

The Lustre filesystem has been in the kernel tree for over 5 years now. While it has been an endless source of enjoyment for new kernel developers learning how to do basic codingstyle cleanups, as well as an semi-entertaining source of bewilderment from the vfs developers any time they have looked into the codebase to try to figure out how to port their latest api changes to this filesystem, it has not really moved forward into the "this is in shape to get out of staging" despite many half-completed attempts. And getting code out of staging is the main goal of that portion of the kernel tree. Code should not stagnate and it feels like having this code in staging is only causing the development cycle of the filesystem to take longer than it should. There is a whole separate out-of-tree copy of this codebase where the developers work on it, and then random changes are thrown over the wall at staging at some later point in time. This dual-tree development model has never worked, and the state of this codebase is proof of that. So, let's just delete the whole mess. Now the lustre developers can go off and work in their out-of-tree codebase and not have to worry about providing valid changelog entries and breaking their patches up into logical pieces. They can take the time they have spend doing those types of housekeeping chores and get the codebase into a much better shape, and it can be submitted for inclusion into the real part of the kernel tree when ready.

staging: lustre: make lustre dependent on LNet

2016-03-11T01:48:53Z

In the case of lustre routers you only need a functioning LNet stack. Especially since often the routers are very light weight and want to avoid any addition software that would create additional pressures on the system. Signed-off-by: James Simmons Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: add Lustre file system client support

2013-05-14T17:54:50Z

Lustre is the most deployed distributed file system in the HPC (High Performance Computing) world. The patch adds its client side support. The code is not very clean and needs to live in drivers/staging for some time for continuing cleanup work. See drivers/staging/lustre/TODO for details. The code is based on Lustre master commit faefbfc04 commit faefbfc0460bc00f2ee4c1c1c86aa1e39b9eea49 Author: Alex Zhuravlev Date: Tue Apr 30 23:05:21 2013 +0400 LU-3244 utils: tunefs.lustre should preserve virgin label Plus a few under-review patches on Whamcloud gerrit: 3.8 kernel support: http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5973 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5974 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5768 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5781 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5763 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5613 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5655 3.9 kernel support: http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5898 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5899 Kconfig/Kbuild: http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,4646 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,4644 libcfs cleanup: http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,2831 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,4775 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,4776 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,4777 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,4778 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,4779 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,4780 All starting/trailing whitespaces are removed, to match kernel coding style.
