2007-02-12[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 4Arjan van de Ven
Many struct file_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.

2006-12-08[PATCH] dm: ioctl: add noflush suspendKiyoshi Ueda
Provide a dm ioctl option to request noflush suspending. (See next patch for what this is for.) As the interface is extended, the version number is incremented. Other than accepting the new option through the interface, There is no change to existing behaviour. Test results: Confirmed the option is given from user-space correctly.

2006-12-08[PATCH] dm: suspend: parameter changeKiyoshi Ueda
Change the interface of dm_suspend() so that we can pass several options without increasing the number of parameters. The existing 'do_lockfs' integer parameter is replaced by a flag DM_SUSPEND_LOCKFS_FLAG. There is no functional change to the code. Test results: I have tested 'dmsetup suspend' command with/without the '--nolockfs' option and confirmed the do_lockfs value is correctly set.

2006-11-08[PATCH] dm: fix find_device raceAlasdair G Kergon
There is a race between dev_create() and find_device(). If the mdptr has not yet been stored against a device, find_device() needs to behave as though no device was found. It already returns NULL, but there is a dm_put() missing: it must drop the reference dm_get_md() took. The bug was introduced by dm-fix-mapped-device-ref-counting.patch. It manifests itself if another dm ioctl attempts to reference a newly-created device while the device creation ioctl is still running. The consequence is that the device cannot be removed until the machine is rebooted. Certain udev configurations can lead to this happening.

2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: prevent removal if openAlasdair G Kergon
If you misuse the device-mapper interface (or there's a bug in your userspace tools) it's possible to end up with 'unlinked' mapped devices that cannot be removed until you reboot (along with uninterruptible processes). This patch prevents you from removing a device that is still open. It introduces dm_lock_for_deletion() which is called when a device is about to be removed to ensure that nothing has it open and nothing further can open it. It uses a private open_count for this which also lets us remove one of the problematic bdget_disk() calls elsewhere.

2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: fix mapped device ref countingJeff Mahoney
To avoid races, _minor_lock must be held while changing mapped device reference counts. There are a few paths where a mapped_device pointer is returned before a reference is taken.

2005-11-22[PATCH] device-mapper: list_versions fixAlasdair G Kergon
In some circumstances the LIST_VERSIONS output is truncated because the size calculation forgets about a 'uint32_t' in each structure - but the inclusion of the whole of ALIGN_MASK frequently compensates for the omission. This is a quick workaround to use an upper bound. (The code ought to be fixed to supply the actual size.) Running 'dmsetup targets' may demonstrate the problem: when I run it, the last line comes out as 'erro' instead of 'error'. Consequently, 'lvcreate --type error' doesn't work.

This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local" implementations in several places to use this function. Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems. The sound part had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S. Miller.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
