2008-10-30	[XFS] remove restricted chown parameter from xfs linux	Tim Shimmin	1	-1/+0
	On Linux all filesystems are supposed to be operating under Posix' restricted chown. Restricted chown means it restricts chown to the owner unless you have CAP_FOWNER. NOTE: that 2 files outside of fs/xfs have been modified too for this change.

2008-10-30	[XFS] kill sys_cred	Christoph Hellwig	1	-7/+0
	capable_cred has been unused for a while so we can kill it and sys_cred. That also means the cred argument to xfs_setattr and xfs_change_file_space can be removed now.

	These are mostly locking annotations, marking things static, casts where needed and declaring stuff in header files.

2007-07-14	[XFS] Concurrent Multi-File Data Streams	David Chinner	1	-0/+1
	In media spaces, video is often stored in a frame-per-file format. When dealing with uncompressed realtime HD video streams in this format, it is crucial that files do not get fragmented and that multiple files a placed contiguously on disk. When multiple streams are being ingested and played out at the same time, it is critical that the filesystem does not cross the streams and interleave them together as this creates seek and readahead cache miss latency and prevents both ingest and playout from meeting frame rate targets. This patch set creates a "stream of files" concept into the allocator to place all the data from a single stream contiguously on disk so that RAID array readahead can be used effectively. Each additional stream gets placed in different allocation groups within the filesystem, thereby ensuring that we don't cross any streams. When an AG fills up, we select a new AG for the stream that is not in use. The core of the functionality is the stream tracking - each inode that we create in a directory needs to be associated with the directories' stream. Hence every time we create a file, we look up the directories' stream object and associate the new file with that object. Once we have a stream object for a file, we use the AG that the stream object point to for allocations. If we can't allocate in that AG (e.g. it is full) we move the entire stream to another AG. Other inodes in the same stream are moved to the new AG on their next allocation (i.e. lazy update). Stream objects are kept in a cache and hold a reference on the inode. Hence the inode cannot be reclaimed while there is an outstanding stream reference. This means that on unlink we need to remove the stream association and we also need to flush all the associations on certain events that want to reclaim all unreferenced inodes (e.g. filesystem freeze).

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+74
	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!
