Merge branch 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
"Assorted cleanups and fixes.
Probably the most interesting part long-term is ->d_init() - that will
have a bunch of followups in (at least) ceph and lustre, but we'll
need to sort the barrier-related rules before it can get used for
really non-trivial stuff.
Another fun thing is the merge of ->d_iput() callers (dentry_iput()
and dentry_unlink_inode()) and a bunch of ->d_compare() ones (all
except the one in __d_lookup_lru())"
* 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (26 commits)

vfs: new d_init method
vfs: Update lookup_dcache() comment
bdev: get rid of ->bd_inodes

For example wait_on_buffer sets the unplugging going through sync_buffer() running blk_run_address_space(mapping). Or the caller can do it explicity through blk_unplug(bdev). So in the read case, the queue gets explicitly unplugged as part of waiting for completion on that -buffer. For page driven IO, the address space ->sync_page() takes care of -doing the blk_run_address_space(). +buffer. Aside: This is kind of controversial territory, as it's not clear if plugging is |
