2007-02-12	[PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 3	Arjan van de Ven	1	-3/+3
	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.

2006-11-16	[PATCH] fat: add fat_getattr()	OGAWA Hirofumi	1	-0/+2
	This adds fat_getattr() for setting stat->blksize. (FAT uses the size of cluster for proper I/O) Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-09-29	[PATCH] add -o flush for fat	Chris Mason	1	-0/+3
	Fat is commonly used on removable media. Mounting with -o flush tells the FS to write things to disk as quickly as possible. It is like -o sync, but much faster (and not as safe).

2006-03-28	[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const	Arjan van de Ven	1	-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>

2006-03-23	[PATCH] fat_lock is used as a mutex, convert it to using the new mutex primitive	Arjan van de Ven	1	-1/+2
	The fat code uses the fat_lock always in a mutex way (taking and releasing the lock in the same function), the patch below converts it into the new mutex primitive. Please consider this patch for the code.

2006-01-08	[PATCH] fat: support ->direct_IO()	OGAWA Hirofumi	1	-1/+2
	This patch add to support of ->direct_IO() for mostly read. The user of this seems to want to use for streaming read. So, current direct I/O has limitation, it can only overwrite. (For write operation, mainly we need to handle the hole etc..)

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+412
	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!
