Message-ID: <m13a4vbz8r.fsf@fess.ebiederm.org> Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:53:56 -0800 From: ebiederm@...ssion.com (Eric W. Biederman) To: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...e.de> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@...y.org>, Greg KH <greg@...ah.com>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>, Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@...ibm.com>, linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org, Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com>, Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@...et.ca> Subject: [PATCH 0/13] sysfs lazification. The sysfs code updates the vfs caches immediately when the sysfs data structures change causing a lot of unnecessary complications. The following patchset untangles that beast. Allowing for simpler more straight forward code, the removal of a hack from the vfs to support sysfs, and human comprehensible locking on sysfs. Most of these patches have already been reviewed and acked from the last time I had time to work on sysfs. In net the patches look like: fs/namei.c | 22 --- fs/sysfs/dir.c | 388 ++++++++++++++++--------------------------------- fs/sysfs/file.c | 41 +---- fs/sysfs/inode.c | 178 ++++++++++++++--------- fs/sysfs/symlink.c | 11 +- fs/sysfs/sysfs.h | 9 +- include/linux/namei.h | 1 - 7 files changed, 256 insertions(+), 394 deletions(-) Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
