      [PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private · 8e18e294
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
      on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
      in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
      (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
      save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
      disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
      in the VFS inode structure).
      
      This patch:
      
      The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
      which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
      using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
      a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
      cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
      the union will actually be used.

      [PATCH] IRQ type flags · 9ded96f2
      Russell King 提交于
      Some ARM platforms have the ability to program the interrupt controller to
      detect various interrupt edges and/or levels.  For some platforms, this is
      critical to setup correctly, particularly those which the setting is dependent
      on the device.
      
      Currently, ARM drivers do (eg) the following:
      
      	err = request_irq(irq, ...);
      
      	set_irq_type(irq, IRQT_RISING);
      
      However, if the interrupt has previously been programmed to be level sensitive
      (for whatever reason) then this will cause an interrupt storm.
      
      Hence, if we combine set_irq_type() with request_irq(), we can then safely set
      the type prior to unmasking the interrupt.  The unfortunate problem is that in
      order to support this, these flags need to be visible outside of the ARM
      architecture - drivers such as smc91x need these flags and they're
      cross-architecture.
      
      Finally, the SA_TRIGGER_* flag passed to request_irq() should reflect the
      property that the device would like.  The IRQ controller code should do its
      best to select the most appropriate supported mode.
