4b6a9316fa [PATCH] cpuset memory spread: slab cache filesystems
Mark file system inode and similar slab caches subject to SLAB_MEM_SPREAD
memory spreading.

If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's
in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate
from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the
memory nodes (task->mems_allowed) allowed to that task, instead of favoring
allocation on the node local to the current cpu.

The following inode and similar caches are marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD:

The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple.  I marked
those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch.  Even
though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
spreading.

Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.

870f481793 [PATCH] replace inode_update_time with file_update_time
To allow various options to work per-mount instead of per-sb we need a
struct vfsmount when updating ctime and mtime.  This preparation patch
replaces the inode_update_time routine with a file_update_atime routine so
we can easily get at the vfsmount.  (and the file makes more sense in this
context anyway).  Also get rid of the unused second argument - we always
want to update the ctime when calling this routine.

5160ee6fc8 [PATCH] shrink dentry struct
Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
of memory cache lines.

Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
(128 + 8 = 136 bytes)

This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
memory needs.

At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.

Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)

As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

8c744fb83d [PATCH] add a file_permission helper
A few more callers of permission() just want to check for a different access
pattern on an already open file.  This patch adds a wrapper for permission()
that takes a file in preparation of per-mount read-only support and to clean
up the callers a little.  The helper is not intended for new code, everything
without the interface set in stone should use vfs_permission()

fef266580e [PATCH] update filesystems for new delete_inode behavior
Update the file systems in fs/ implementing a delete_inode() callback to
call truncate_inode_pages().  One implementation note: In developing this
patch I put the calls to truncate_inode_pages() at the very top of those
filesystems delete_inode() callbacks in order to retain the previous
behavior.  I'm guessing that some of those could probably be optimized.

1da177e4c3 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!
