2016-06-01freevxfs: update documentation and cresdits for HP-UX supportKrzysztof Błaszkowski

2016-06-01freevxfs: implement ->alloc_inode and ->destroy_inodeChristoph Hellwig
This driver predates those methods and was trying to be clever allocating it's own private data. Switch to the generic scheme used by other file systems. Based on an earlier patch from Krzysztof Błaszkowski <kb@sysmikro.com.pl>. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
2016-06-01freevxfs: handle big endian HP-UX file systemsKrzysztof Błaszkowski
To support VxFS filesystems from HP-UX on x86 systems we need to implement byte swapping, and to keep support for Unixware filesystems it needs to be the complicated dual-endian kind ala sysvfs. To do this properly we have to split the on disk and in-core inode so that we can keep the in-core one in native endianness. All other structures are byteswapped on demand.

2006-09-27[PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_privateTheodore Ts'o
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.

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!
