2006-03-14	[XFS] On machines with more than 8 cpus, when running parallel I/O	David Chinner
	threads, the incore superblock lock becomes the limiting factor for buffered write throughput. Make the contended fields in the incore superblock use per-cpu counters so that there is no global lock to limit scalability.

2006-01-09	[PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: XFS	Jes Sorensen
	This patch switches XFS over to use the new mutex code directly as opposed to the previous workaround patch I posted earlier that avoided the namespace clash by forcing it back to semaphores. This falls in the 'works for me<tm>' category. Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen <jes@trained-monkey.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2005-11-02	[XFS] Ondisk format extension for extended attributes (attr2). Basically,	Nathan Scott
	the data/attr forks now grow up/down from either end of the literal area, rather than dividing the literal area into two chunks and growing both upward. Means we can now make much more efficient use of the attribute space, incl. fitting DMF attributes inline in 256 byte inodes, and large jumps in dbench3 performance numbers. It is self enabling, but can be forced on/off via the attr2/noattr2 mount options. SGI-PV: 941645 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux:xfs-kern:23837a Signed-off-by: Nathan Scott <nathans@sgi.com>
2005-11-02	[XFS] Introduce two new mount options (nolargeio/largeio) to allow	David Chinner
	filesystems to expose the filesystem stripe width in stat(2) rather than the page cache size. This allows applications requiring high bandwidth to easily determine the optimum I/O size for the underlying filesystem. The default is to report the page cache size (i.e. "nolargeio").

2005-11-02	[XFS] write barrier support Issue all log sync operations as ordered	Christoph Hellwig
	writes. In addition flush the disk cache on fsync if the sync cached operation didn't sync the log to disk (this requires some additional bookeping in the transaction and log code). If the device doesn't claim to support barriers, the filesystem has an extern log volume or the trial superblock write with barriers enabled failed we disable barriers and print a warning. We should probably fail the mount completely, but that could lead to nasty boot failures for the root filesystem. Not enabled by default yet, needs more destructive testing first.

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!
