linux-toradex.git/include/linux/cdev.h, branch v4.8-rc1 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support 2015-01-20T21:02:58+00:00 Christoph Hellwig hch@lst.de 2015-01-14T09:42:32+00:00 b4caecd48005fbed3949dde6c1cb233142fd69e9 Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated to it's original purpose. Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

fs: Remove i_cindex from struct inode 2009-06-12T01:36:09+00:00 Theodore Ts'o tytso@mit.edu 2009-05-21T20:01:00+00:00 9fd5746fd3d7838bf6ff991d50f1257057d1156f The only user of the i_cindex element in the inode structure is used is by the firewire drivers. As part of an attempt to slim down the inode structure to save memory --- since a typical Linux system will have hundreds of thousands if not millions of inodes cached, a reduction in the size inode has high leverage. The firewire driver does not need i_cindex in any fast path, so it's simple enough to calculate when it is needed, instead of wasting space in the inode structure.
