Arjan van de Ven c5ef1c42c5 [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 3
Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Badari Pulavarty 543ade1fc9 [PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanups
This patch cleans up generic_file_*_read/write() interfaces.  Christoph
Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups.

In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use
do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods.  This allows us
to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.

Final available interfaces:

generic_file_aio_read() - read handler
generic_file_aio_write() - write handler
generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler

__generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine

Christoph Hellwig f5e54d6e53 [PATCH] mark address_space_operations const
Same as with already do with the file operations: keep them in .rodata and
prevents people from doing runtime patching.

Eric Sesterhenn 5df0d31241 BUG_ON() Conversion in fs/smbfs/
this changes if() BUG(); constructs to BUG_ON() which is
cleaner, contains unlikely() and can better optimized away.

Arjan van de Ven 4b6f5d20b0 [PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const
This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const.  Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups

The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)

Andrew Morton 54b21a7992 [PATCH] fix possible PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT overflows
We've had two instances recently of overflows when doing

	64_bit_value = (32_bit_value << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT)

I did a tree-wide grep of `<<.*PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT' and this is the result.

- afs_rxfs_fetch_descriptor.offset is of type off_t, which seems broken.

- jfs and jffs are limited to 4GB anyway.

- reiserfs map_block_for_writepage() takes an unsigned long for the block -
  it should take sector_t.  (It'll fail for huge filesystems with
  blocksize<PAGE_CACHE_SIZE)

- cramfs_read() needs to use sector_t (I think cramsfs is busted on large
  filesystems anyway)

- affs is limited in file size anyway.

- I generally didn't fix 32-bit overflows in directory operations.

- arm's __flush_dcache_page() is peculiar.  What if the page lies beyond 4G?

- gss_wrap_req_priv() needs checking (snd_buf->page_base)

OGAWA Hirofumi 28fd129827 [PATCH] Fix and add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait)
This patch add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) and use it.

See mm/filemap.c:

And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().

Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
returns error.  However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
(e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)

<quotation>
Andrew Morton writes,

If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc.  Given the generally
crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
forever.
</quotation>

So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.

Trond, could you please review the nfs part?  Especially I'm not sure,
nfs must use the "filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping) == 0", or not.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
