Christoph Lameter 3e1d1d28d9 [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezing
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:

   frozen(process)		Check for frozen process
   freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
   freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
   thaw_process(process)	Restart process
   frozen_process(process)	Process is frozen now

2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
   kernel sources except sched.h

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

5. Some whitespace cleanup

6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
   cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
   PF_FROZEN).

This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

Sonny Rao f5f287738b JFS: performance patch
Basically, we saw a large amount of time spent in the
jfs_strfromUCS_le() function, mispredicting the branch inside the
loop, so I just added some unlikely modifiers to the if statements to
re-ordered the code.  Again, these simple changes provided > 2 % on
spec-sfs, so please consider it for inclusion.

Dave Kleikamp 72e3148a6e JFS: Fix compiler warning in jfs_logmgr.c
fs/jfs/jfs_logmgr.c: In function `jfs_flush_journal':
fs/jfs/jfs_logmgr.c:1632: warning: unused variable `mp'

Some debug code in jfs_flush_journal does nothing when CONFIG_JFS_DEBUG
is not defined.  Place the whole code segment within an ifdef to avoid
unnecessary code to be compiled and the warning to be issued.

Dave Kleikamp 6628465e33 [PATCH] JFS: Don't allocate extents that overlap existing extents
Modify xtSearch so that it returns the next allocated block when the
requested block is unmapped.  This can be used to make sure we don't
create a new extent that overlaps the next one.

Dave Kleikamp 1c6278295d [PATCH] JFS: Write journal sync points more often
This patch adds jfs_syncpt, which calls lmLogSync to write sync points
to the journal both in jfs_sync_fs and when sync barrier processing
completes.

lmLogSync accomplishes two things:  1) it pushes logged-but-dirty
metadata pages to disk, and 2) it writes a sync record to the journal
so that jfs_fsck doesn't need to replay more transactions than is
necessary.

Dave Kleikamp d2e83707ed [PATCH] JFS: Simplify creation of new iag
JFS was creating a new IAG (inode aggregate group) in one address
space, and afterwards, accessing it from another.  This could lead to
complications when cache pages contain more than one page of jfs
metadata.  This patch causes the IAG to be initialized in the same
address space that it is subsequently accessed with.

This also elimitates an I/O, but IAG's aren't created too often.

Dave Kleikamp 66f3131f54 [PATCH] JFS: reduce number of synchronous transactions
Use an inline pxd list rather than an xad list in the xadlock.
When the number of extents being modified can fit with the xadlock,
a transaction can be committed asynchronously.  Using a list of
pxd's instead of xad's allows us to fit 4 extents, rather than 2.

Linus Torvalds 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!
