* 9p: implement optional loose read cacheEric Van Hensbergen2007-02-181-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is exclusive and/or read-only. The vacfs views of venti content addressable store are a real-world instance of such a situation. To facilitate higher performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches), we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache. This results in over two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads in the Bonnie benchmark. The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems to improve metadata operational performance. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
* [PATCH] Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txtDave Kleikamp2006-10-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This file, ext4.txt, was put together with information from Andrew Morton, Andreas Dilger, Suparna Bhattacharya, and Ted Ts'o. I copied the mount options, with the exception of "extents", from ext3.txt, so if anyone is aware of anything out-of-date, please let me know.

* remove mentionings of devfs in documentationAdrian Bunk2006-10-031-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | Now that devfs is removed, there's no longer any need to document how to do this or that with devfs. This patch includes some improvements by Joe Perches. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
* [PATCH] Documentation update for relay interfaceTom Zanussi2006-08-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here's updated documentation for the relay interface, rewritten to match the relayfs->relay changes. It also moves relayfs.txt to relay.txt in the process. It includes the changes to relayfs.txt previously posted by Randy Dunlap, thanks for those. The relay-apps examples have also been updated to match, and can be found on the sourceforge relayfs website.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-171-0/+50
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!
