2006-04-14	[PATCH] sysfs: Allow sysfs attribute files to be pollable	NeilBrown	1	-0/+6
	It works like this: Open the file Read all the contents. Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works) When poll returns, close the file and go to top of loop. or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'. Events are signaled by an object manager calling sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr); If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group). This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject, one int per open file. The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs attributes as well? This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action to be pollable Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-06-20	[PATCH] sysfs-iattr: add sysfs_setattr	Maneesh Soni	1	-0/+1
	o This adds ->i_op->setattr VFS method for sysfs inodes. The changed attribues are saved in the persistent sysfs_dirent structure as a pointer to struct iattr. The struct iattr is allocated only for those sysfs_dirent's for which default attributes are getting changed. Thanks to Jon Smirl for this suggestion.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+182
	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!
