[PATCH] export/change sync_page_range/_nolock()

2006-01-09T04:13:47+00:00

This exports/changes the sync_page_range/_nolock().  The fatfs needs
sync_page_range/_nolock() for expanding truncate, and changes "size_t count"
to "loff_t count".

identify multipage ->writepages() calls

2006-01-06T19:58:38+00:00

 NFS needs to be able to distinguish between single-page ->writepage() calls and
 multipage ->writepages() calls.

 For the single-page writepage calls NFS can kick off the I/O within the
 context of ->writepage().

 For multipage ->writepages calls, nfs_writepage() will leave the I/O pending
 and nfs_writepages() will kick off the I/O when it all has been queued up
 within NFS.

[PATCH] add AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, prepend AOP_ to WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE

2006-01-03T19:45:42+00:00

readpage(), prepare_write(), and commit_write() callers are updated to
understand the special return code AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE in the style of
writepage() and WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE.  AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE tells the caller that
the callee has unlocked the page and that the operation should be tried again
with a new page.  OCFS2 uses this to detect and work around a lock inversion in
its aop methods.  There should be no change in behaviour for methods that don't
return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE.

WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE is also prepended with AOP_ for consistency and they are
made enums so that kerneldoc can be used to document their semantics.

[PATCH] Update cfq io scheduler to time sliced design

2005-06-27T21:33:29+00:00

This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3).  It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes.  It
supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls.  The latter closely mimic
set/getpriority.

This import is based on my latest from -mm.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

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!
