[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] r/o bind mount prepwork: inc_nlink() helper

2006-10-01T07:39:30+00:00

This is mostly included for parity with dec_nlink(), where we will have some
more hooks.  This one should stay pretty darn straightforward for now.

[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: unlink: monitor i_nlink

2006-10-01T07:39:30+00:00

When a filesystem decrements i_nlink to zero, it means that a write must be
performed in order to drop the inode from the filesystem.

We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between
the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs.

So, add a little helper function to do the decrements.  We'll tie into it in a
bit to note when i_nlink hits zero.

[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] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structure

2006-09-27T15:26:18+00:00

This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode.  Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.

Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.

[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.
