update Documentation/filesystems/Locking for 2.6.27 changes

2008-09-09T18:51:15+00:00

In the 2.6.27 circle ->fasync lost the BKL, and the last remaining
->open variant that takes the BKL is also gone.  ->get_sb and ->kill_sb
didn't have BKL forever, so updated the entries while we're at that.

docsrc: build Documentation/ sources

2008-08-12T23:07:30+00:00

Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them.  This needs to
be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
instead of bad examples.

Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.

Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
Documentation/ sources.  Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
to be installed (for userspace builds).

Built (using cross-tools) for x86-64, i386, alpha, ia64, sparc32,
sparc64, powerpc, sh, m68k, & mips.

[PATCH] configfs: Convenience macros for attribute definition.

2008-07-31T23:21:13+00:00

Sysfs has the _ATTR() and _ATTR_RO() macros to make defining extended
form attributes easier.  configfs should have something similiar.

- _CONFIGFS_ATTR() and _CONFIGFS_ATTR_RO() are the counterparts to the
  sysfs macros.
- CONFIGFS_ATTR_STRUCT() creates the extended form attribute structure.
- CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS() defines the show_attribute()/store_attribute()
  operations that call the show()/store() operations of the extended
  form configfs_attributes.
