[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl

2007-02-14T16:09:59Z

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

[PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 2

2007-02-12T17:48:46Z

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. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t

2006-12-07T16:39:25Z

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache. The patch was generated using the following script: #!/bin/sh # # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources. # set -e for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do quilt add $file sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$ mv /tmp/$$ $file quilt refresh done The script was run like this sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache" Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] update mq_notify to use a struct pid

2006-10-02T14:57:15Z

Message queues can signal a process waiting for a message. This patch replaces the pid_t value with a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around problems. Signed-off-by: Cedric Le Goater Acked-by: Eric Biederman Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] r/o bind mount prepwork: inc_nlink() helper

2006-10-01T07:39:30Z

This is mostly included for parity with dec_nlink(), where we will have some more hooks. This one should stay pretty darn straightforward for now. Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
