2007-07-10	sendfile: remove .sendfile from filesystems that use generic_file_sendfile()	Jens Axboe	1	-1/+1
	They can use generic_file_splice_read() instead. Since sys_sendfile() now prefers that, there should be no change in behaviour. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2006-10-01	[PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanups	Badari Pulavarty	1	-2/+4
	This patch cleans up generic_file__read/write() interfaces. Christoph Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups. In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods. This allows us to cleanup all variants of generic_file_ routines. Final available interfaces: generic_file_aio_read() - read handler generic_file_aio_write() - write handler generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler __generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine Signed-off-by: Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-07-01	[PATCH] ufs: truncate should allocate block for last byte	Evgeniy Dushistov	1	-4/+0
	This patch fixes buggy behaviour of UFS in such kind of scenario: open(, O_TRUNC...) ftruncate(, 1024) ftruncate(, 0) Such a scenario causes ufs_panic and remount read-only. This happen because of according to specification UFS should always allocate block for last byte, and many parts of our implementation rely on this, but `ufs_truncate' doesn't care about this. To make possible return error code and to know about old size, this patch removes `truncate' from ufs inode_operations and uses `setattr' method to call ufs_truncate.

2006-06-25	[PATCH] ufs: fsync implementation	Evgeniy Dushistov	1	-0/+21
	Presently ufs doesn't support "fsync", this make some applications unhappy, for example vim. This patch fixes this situation. Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Dushistov <dushistov@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
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>

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+55
	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!
