2006-03-28	[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const	Arjan van de Ven	1	-1/+1
	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>
2006-02-03	configfs: Add permission and ownership to configfs objects.	Joel Becker	1	-9/+10
	configfs always made item and attribute ownership root.root and permissions based on a umask of 022. Add ->setattr() to allow chown(2)/chmod(2), and persist the changes for the lifetime of the items and attributes.

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. Modified-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> (finished the conversion) Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen <jes@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2006-01-03	[PATCH] configfs: User-driven configuration filesystem	Joel Becker	1	-0/+360
	Configfs, a file system for userspace-driven kernel object configuration. The OCFS2 stack makes extensive use of this for propagation of cluster configuration information into kernel. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>
