[PATCH v3 00/10] ceph-rbd: ceph RADOS block device
The following is our latest version of the rados block device. Any comments, questions, suggestions are more than welcome. We would like to have that ready for inclusion for the next window and it'd be nice having it reviewed by someone more familiar with the block/storage layer. Note that the actual block device i... 7 Jul 2010 19:00

[PATCH v3 02/10] ceph-rbd: refactor osdc requests creation functions
The osd requests creation are being decoupled from the vino parameter, allowing clients using the osd to use other arbitrary object names that are not necessarily vino based. Also, calc_raw_layout now takes a snap id. Signed-off-by: Yehuda Sadeh <yehuda(a)hq.newdream.net> Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage(a)newdream.ne... 7 Jul 2010 19:00

[PATCH 09/18] tracing: use generic_file_llseek for debugfs
The default for llseek will change to no_llseek, so the tracing debugfs files need to add explicit ..llseek assignments. Since we're dealing with regular files from a VFS perspective, use generic_file_llseek.

net: vmxnet3 fixes [0/5] Spare skb to avoid starvation
A couple problems remaining in this patch set: 1) Too many bug fixes for this late in the -rc series of 2.6.35 Pick a smaller number of fixes, the most critical ones, perhaps 2 or 3, and re-submit those for net-2.6 Pick the ones that produce easily triggers crashes or documented regressions prese... 7 Jul 2010 19:00

[PATCH 00/18] VFS: turn no_llseek into the default
As I promised to Christoph Hellwig, this series changes the default action for sys_llseek from the traditional default_llseek to no_llseek, disallowing users to seek files without a seek operation, which is much more logical. At the same time, this series makes it obvious that the remaining users of the now exp... 7 Jul 2010 17:53

[PATCH 01/18] drm: use noop_llseek
The drm device drivers currently allow seeking on the character device but never care about the actual file position. When we change the default llseek operation to be no_llseek, calling llseek on a drm device would return an error condition, which is an API change. Explicitly setting noop_llseek lets us keep... 7 Jul 2010 17:53

[PATCH 03/18] lkdtm: use generic_file_llseek in debugfs
When the default llseek behavior gets changed to not allowing seek, all file operations that rely on the current behaviour need to use an explicit ..llseek operation. The files that lkdtm uses in debugfs are regular files and they get read using simple_read_from_buffer, so generic_file_llseek is the right opera... 7 Jul 2010 17:53
