[PATCH] fix lockdep-design.txt

2006-10-11T18:14:24+00:00

I was looking at lockdep-desing.txt and i guess i am confused with the
changes with respect to fd7bcea35e7efb108c34ee2b3840942a3749cadb. It
says

+   '.'  acquired while irqs enabled
+   '+'  acquired in irq context
+   '-'  acquired in process context with irqs disabled
+   '?'  read-acquired both with irqs enabled and in irq context
+

But the get_usage_chars() function does this for '-'
 if (class->usage_mask & LOCKF_ENABLED_HARDIRQS)
                        *c1 = '-';

So i guess what would be correct would be
'.'  acquired while irqs disabled
'+'  acquired in irq context
'-'  acquired with irqs enabled
'?' read acquired in irq context with irqs enabled.

[PATCH] document the core-dump-to-a-pipe patch

2006-10-11T18:14:22+00:00

The pipe-a-coredump-to-a-program feature was undocumented.
*Grumble*.

NB: a good enhancement to that patch would be: save all the stuff that a
core file can get from the %x expansions in the environment.

[PATCH] Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt

2006-10-11T18:14:19+00:00

This file, ext4.txt, was put together with information from Andrew Morton,
Andreas Dilger, Suparna Bhattacharya, and Ted Ts'o.

I copied the mount options, with the exception of "extents", from ext3.txt,
so if anyone is aware of anything out-of-date, please let me know.
