Subject: [PATCH 0/7] V3 of the async function call patches
Newsgroups: gmane.linux.kernel
Date: 2009-01-07 23:11:51 GMT (3 years, 19 weeks, 15 hours and 10 minutes ago)
version 3 of the async function call patches
* Dropped the ACPI part; it broke i surprising ways; needs a rethink
(working with Len and co on that)
* Included asynchronous delete()
There is still no integration with the out of tree slow-work patch;
the slow-work patch does really weird things with refcounts that make it
really specific to cachefs and, frankly, I think it's a rather
weird design.
The overlap is maybe 200 lines of code at most, of which 100+ would
need to be added just to deal with the various weirdnesses. I really
don't think this is a good idea or a fair requirement on the async
function call patch series.
The following changes since commit 8903709b054a8dafe4e8c6d9a6444034d7aba36f:
