2012-12-20Merge tag 'for-3.8-merge' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs Pull new F2FS filesystem from Jaegeuk Kim: "Introduce a new file system, Flash-Friendly File System (F2FS), to Linux 3.8. Highlights: - Add initial f2fs source codes - Fix an endian conversion bug - Fix build failures on random configs - Fix the power-off-recovery routine - Minor cleanup, coding style, and typos patches" From the Kconfig help text: F2FS is based on Log-structured File System (LFS), which supports versatile "flash-friendly" features. The design has been focused on addressing the fundamental issues in LFS, which are snowball effect of wandering tree and high cleaning overhead. Since flash-based storages show different characteristics according to the internal geometry or flash memory management schemes aka FTL, F2FS and tools support various parameters not only for configuring on-disk layout, but also for selecting allocation and cleaning algorithms. and there's an article by Neil Brown about it on lwn.net: http://lwn.net/Articles/518988/ * tag 'for-3.8-merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: (36 commits) f2fs: fix tracking parent inode number f2fs: cleanup the f2fs_bio_alloc routine f2fs: introduce accessor to retrieve number of dentry slots f2fs: remove redundant call to f2fs_put_page in delete entry f2fs: make use of GFP_F2FS_ZERO for setting gfp_mask f2fs: rewrite f2fs_bio_alloc to make it simpler f2fs: fix a typo in f2fs documentation f2fs: remove unused variable f2fs: move error condition for mkdir at proper place f2fs: remove unneeded initialization f2fs: check read only condition before beginning write out f2fs: remove unneeded memset from init_once f2fs: show error in case of invalid mount arguments f2fs: fix the compiler warning for uninitialized use of variable f2fs: resolve build failures f2fs: adjust kernel coding style f2fs: fix endian conversion bugs reported by sparse f2fs: remove unneeded version.h header file from f2fs.h f2fs: update the f2fs document f2fs: update Kconfig and Makefile ...

2010-10-05smbfs: move to drivers/stagingArnd Bergmann
smbfs has been scheduled for removal in 2.6.27, so maybe we can now move it to drivers/staging on the way out. smbfs still uses the big kernel lock and nobody is going to fix that, so we should be getting rid of it soon. This removes the 32 bit compat mount and ioctl handling code, which is implemented in common fs code, and moves all smbfs related files into drivers/staging/smbfs.

2007-02-189p: implement optional loose read cacheEric Van Hensbergen
While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is exclusive and/or read-only. The vacfs views of venti content addressable store are a real-world instance of such a situation. To facilitate higher performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches), we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache. This results in over two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads in the Bonnie benchmark. The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems to improve metadata operational performance. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

Here's updated documentation for the relay interface, rewritten to match the relayfs->relay changes. It also moves relayfs.txt to relay.txt in the process.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
