Raw Normal View History

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

[PATCH] remove do_sync parameter from __invalidate_device The only caller that ever sets it can call fsync_bdev itself easily. Also update some comments.

[PATCH] block: add unlocked_ioctl support for block devices This patch allows block device drivers to convert their ioctl functions to unlocked_ioctl() like character devices and other subsystems. All functions that were called with the BKL held before are still used that way, but I would not be surprised if it could be removed from the ioctl functions in drivers/block/ioctl.c themselves. As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as well, which looks like a bug. I have checked that every user of disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().
