2007-12-18	[XFS] Put the correct offset in dirent d_off	Lachlan McIlroy
	The recent filldir regression fix was not putting the correct d_off in each dirent. This was resulting in incorrect cookies being passed to dmapi ioctls and the wrong offset appearing in the dirents. readdir was unaffected as the filp->f_pos was being updated with the correct offset and this was being written into the last dirent in each buffer. Fix the XFS code to do the right thing.

2007-10-15	[XFS] Radix tree based inode caching	David Chinner
	One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum realistic size of the cache. As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to allow decent scalability with inode cache operations. A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the inode hash is causing issues. The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....

2007-10-15	[XFS] use filldir internally	Christoph Hellwig
	Currently xfs has a rather complicated internal scheme to allow for different directory formats in IRIX. This patch rips all code related to this out and pushes useage of the Linux filldir callback into the lowlevel directory code. This does not make the code any less portable because filldir can be used to create dirents of all possible variations (including the IRIX ones as proved by the IRIX binary emulation code under arch/mips/). This patch get rid of an unessecary copy in the readdir path, about 400 lines of code and one of the last two users of the uio structure. This version is updated to deal with dmapi aswell which greatly simplifies the get_dirattrs code. The dmapi part has been tested using the get_dirattrs tools from the xfstest dmapi suite1 with various small and large directories.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds
	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!
