* [PATCH] reduce sizeof(struct file)Eric Dumazet2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that RCU applied on 'struct file' seems stable, we can place f_rcuhead in a memory location that is not anymore used at call_rcu(&f->f_rcuhead, file_free_rcu) time, to reduce the size of this critical kernel object. The trick I used is to move f_rcuhead and f_list in an union called f_u The callers are changed so that f_rcuhead becomes f_u.fu_rcuhead and f_list becomes f_u.f_list Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] set mnt_namespace in the correct placeMiklos Szeredi2005-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch sets ->mnt_namespace where it's actually added to the namespace. Previously mnt_namespace was set in do_kern_mount() even if the filesystem was never added to any process's namespace (most kernel-internal filesystems). This discrepancy doesn't actually cause any problems, but it's cleaner if mnt_namespace is NULL for these non exported filesystems.

* [PATCH] O(1) sb list traversing on syncsKirill Korotaev2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes O(n^2) super block loops in sync_inodes(), sync_filesystems() etc. in favour of using __put_super_and_need_restart() which I introduced earlier. We faced a noticably long freezes on sb syncing when there are thousands of super blocks in the system.

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!
