[PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t

2006-12-07T16:39:25+00:00

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

[PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanups

2006-10-01T07:39:28+00:00

This patch cleans up generic_file_*_read/write() interfaces.  Christoph
Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups.

In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use
do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods.  This allows us
to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.

Final available interfaces:

generic_file_aio_read() - read handler
generic_file_aio_write() - write handler
generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler

__generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine

[PATCH] Really ignore kmem_cache_destroy return value

2006-09-27T15:26:10+00:00

* Rougly half of callers already do it by not checking return value
* Code in drivers/acpi/osl.c does the following to be sure:

	(void)kmem_cache_destroy(cache);

* Those who check it printk something, however, slab_error already printed
  the name of failed cache.
* XFS BUGs on failed kmem_cache_destroy which is not the decision
  low-level filesystem driver should make. Converted to ignore.

[PATCH] mark address_space_operations const

Same as with already do with the file operations: keep them in .rodata and
prevents people from doing runtime patching.
