Subject: [PATCH] [0/11] Repost of old VFS BKL patchkit Newsgroups: gmane.linux.kernel Date: 2008-05-19 12:31:09 GMT (1 year, 6 weeks, 4 days, 22 hours and 56 minutes ago) Since BKL removal seems to be en-vogue again here's the repost of the unapplied parts of my older VFS BKL patchkit. Main difference is port to 2.6.26-rc2 and more fasync conversins. - Converts remote_llseek to be BKL less. This will either eliminate or push it down in a couple of network file systems (SMBFS, CIFS, OCFS2, NCPFS, NFS) - Converts file flags handling to i_mutex [BTW while looking over the tree I think there are a few races in this regard in there anyways. Not all people who modify that take BKL. Auditing all of them is a separate project. No difference before/after my patch] - Adds unlocked_fasync - Converts lots of fasync users to unlocked_fasync -Andi |
