2008-01-25[PATCH 2/2] ocfs2: cluster aware flock()Mark Fasheh
Hook up ocfs2_flock(), using the new flock lock type in dlmglue.c. A new mount option, "localflocks" is added so that users can revert to old functionality as need be. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2008-01-25ocfs2: Local alloc window size changeable via mount optionSunil Mushran
Local alloc is a performance optimization in ocfs2 in which a node takes a window of bits from the global bitmap and then uses that for all small local allocations. This window size is fixed to 8MB currently. This patch allows users to specify the window size in MB including disabling it by passing in 0. If the number specified is too large, the fs will use the default value of 8MB. mount -o localalloc=X /dev/sdX /mntpoint Signed-off-by: Sunil Mushran <sunil.mushran@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2008-01-25ocfs2: Support commit= mount optionMark Fasheh
Mostly taken from ext3. This allows the user to set the jbd commit interval, in seconds. The default of 5 seconds stays the same, but now users can easily increase the commit interval. Typically, this would be increased in order to benefit performance at the expense of data-safety. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2008-01-25ocfs2: Reserve ioctl rangeTao Ma
We need to reserve at least two ioctls for online-resize. Reserve a small range of ioctls for Ocfs2 use in Documentation/ioctl-number.txt. This should give us enough room for future growth. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <tao.ma@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2008-01-25ocfs2: Documentation updateMark Fasheh
Remove 'readpages' from the list in ocfs2.txt. Instead of having two identical lists, I just removed the list in the OCFS2 section of fs/Kconfig and added a pointer to Documentation/filesystems/ocfs2.txt. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

2008-01-25IB/mthca: Remove MSI support as scheduledAdrian Bunk
Remove MSI support from the mthca driver, as scheduled. There is no reason to use MSI instead of MSI-X, since MSI-X performs better. No one has spoken up since MSI support was deprecated in commit f6be6fbe ("IB/mthca: Schedule MSI support for removal"), so apparently the MSI support is unused.

2008-01-25cpu-hotplug: replace lock_cpu_hotplug() with get_online_cpus()Gautham R Shenoy
Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the refcount semantics in these operations. The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed. In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the cpu_present_map there.
