      [PATCH] shrink dentry struct · 5160ee6f
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
      UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
      of memory cache lines.
      
      Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
      results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
      (128 + 8 = 136 bytes)
      
      This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
      where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
      memory needs.
      
      At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
      to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.
      
      Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
      the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
      but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)
      
      As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
      worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

      [PATCH] USB: real nodes instead of usbfs · fbf82fd2
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      This patch introduces a /sys/class/usb_device/ class
      where every connected usb-device will show up:
      
        tree /sys/class/usb_device/
        /sys/class/usb_device/
        |-- usb1.1
        |   |-- dev
        |   `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1
        |-- usb2.1
        |   |-- dev
        |   `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2
        ...
      
      The presence of the "dev" file lets udev create real device nodes.
        kay@pim:~/src/linux-2.6> tree /dev/bus/usb/
        /dev/bus/usb/
        |-- 1
        |   `-- 1
        |-- 2
        |   `-- 1
        ...
      
      udev rule:
        SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usb_device %k", NAME="%c"
        (echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usb\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/')
      
      This makes libusb pick up the real nodes instead of the mounted usbfs:
        export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb
      
      Background:
        All this makes it possible to manage usb devices with udev instead of
        the devfs solution. We are currently working on a pam_console/resmgr
        replacement driven by udev and a pam-helper. It applies ACL's to device
        nodes, which is required for modern desktop functionalty like
        "Fast User Switching" or multiple local login support.
      
      New patch with its own major. I've succesfully disabled usbfs and use real
      nodes only on my box. With: "export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb" libusb picks
      up the udev managed nodes instead of reading usbfs files.
      
      This makes udev to provide symlinks for libusb to pick up:
        SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usbdevice %k", SYMLINK="%c"
      
      /sbin/usbdevice:
        #!/bin/sh
        echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usbdev\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/'

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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!
