      [PATCH] Kill PF_SYNCWRITE flag · b31dc66a
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
      ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
      io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
      and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
      previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
      this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.
      
      Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
      the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
      by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

      [PATCH] clean up default value of USB_ISP116X_HCD, USB_SL811_HCD and USB_SL811_CS · 5a9d6e06
      Jean-Luc Leger 提交于
      Default values for boolean and tristate options can only be 'y', 'm' or 'n'.
      This patch removes wrong default for USB_ISP116X_HCD, USB_SL811_HCD and
      USB_SL811_CS.

      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount · 454e2398
      David Howells 提交于
      Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
      permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
      
      The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
      pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
      which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
      superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
      
      The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
      superblock pointer.
      
      This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
      points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
      such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
      and mnt_sb would be set directly.
      
      The patch also makes the following changes:
      
       (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
           pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
           very little.
      
       (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
           normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
           always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
      
       (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
           dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
      
           This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
           aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
           currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
           and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
           dentries being left unculled.
      
           However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
           implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
           simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
           inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
           with child trees.
      
           [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
      
       (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
           changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

      [PATCH] USB: get USB suspend to work again · 0517587e
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Yeah, it's a hack, but it is only temporary until Alan's patches
      reworking this area make it in.  We really should not care what devices
      below us are doing, especially when we do not really know what type of
      devices they are.  This patch relies on the fact that the endpoint
      devices do not have a driver assigned to us.
