Slab API: remove useless ctor parameter and reorder parameters

2007-10-17T15:42:45+00:00

Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used.  And
the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions.  The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.

Convert

        ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)

to

        ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)

throughout the kernel

Drop 'size' argument from bio_endio and bi_end_io

2007-10-10T07:25:57+00:00

As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete,
the 'size' argument is now redundant.  Remove it.

Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed
from bi_size.  So don't do that either.

While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void.

mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().

2007-07-20T01:11:58+00:00

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

bd_claim_by_disk: fix warning

2007-07-16T16:05:50+00:00

Fix this:

fs/block_dev.c: In function 'bd_claim_by_disk':
fs/block_dev.c:970: warning: 'found' may be used uninitialized in this function

and given that free_bd_holder() now needs free(NULL)-is-legal behaviour, we
can simplify bd_release_from_kobject().

sendfile: remove .sendfile from filesystems that use generic_file_sendfile()

2007-07-10T06:04:13+00:00

They can use generic_file_splice_read() instead. Since sys_sendfile() now
prefers that, there should be no change in behaviour.

Remove SLAB_CTOR_CONSTRUCTOR

SLAB_CTOR_CONSTRUCTOR is always specified. No point in checking it.
