2007-02-12	[PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1	Arjan van de Ven	1	-1/+1
	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.

2006-07-31	[PATCH] freevxfs: Add missing lock_kernel() to vxfs_readdir	Josh Triplett	1	-0/+2
	Commit 7b2fd697427e73c81d5fa659efd91bd07d303b0e in the historical GIT tree stopped calling the readdir member of a file_operations struct with the big kernel lock held, and fixed up all the readdir functions to do their own locking. However, that change added calls to unlock_kernel() in vxfs_readdir, but no call to lock_kernel(). Fix this by adding a call to lock_kernel().

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>
2005-06-30	[PATCH] freevxfs: minor cleanups	Pekka Enberg	1	-4/+4
	This patch addresses the following minor issues: - Typo in printk - Redundant casts - Use C99 struct initializers instead of memset - Parenthesis around return value - Use inline instead of __inline__ Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+328
	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!
