2006-03-28	[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const	Arjan van de Ven	2	-2/+2
	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) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-27	[PATCH] autofs4: change may_umount* functions to boolean	Ian Kent	1	-1/+1
	Change the functions may_umount and may_umount_tree to boolean functions to aid code readability. Signed-off-by: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-01-09	[PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_sem	Jes Sorensen	1	-2/+2
	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.

2005-11-07	[PATCH] kfree cleanup: fs	Jesper Juhl	1	-4/+2
	This is the fs/ part of the big kfree cleanup patch. Remove pointless checks for NULL prior to calling kfree() in fs/. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-09	[PATCH] autofs: fix "busy inodes after umount..."	Alexander Krizhanovsky	3	-4/+7
	This patch for old autofs (version 3) cleans dentries which are not putted after killing the automount daemon (it's analogue of recent patch for autofs4).

2005-08-19	Fix nasty ncpfs symlink handling bug.	Linus Torvalds	1	-2/+3
	This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions. But those functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk. We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability. We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine. This also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	8	-0/+1517
	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!
