2006-03-25[PATCH] radix-tree documentation cleanupsJonathan Corbet
Documentation changes to help radix tree users avoid overrunning the tags array. RADIX_TREE_TAGS moves to linux/radix-tree.h and is now known as RADIX_TREE_MAX_TAGS (Nick Piggin's idea). Tag parameters are changed to unsigned, and some comments are updated.

2006-02-16[PATCH] Fix over-zealous tag clearing in radix_tree_deleteNeilBrown
If a tag is set for a node being deleted from a radix_tree, then that tag gets cleared from the parent of the node, even if it is set for some siblings of the node begin deleted. This patch changes the logic to include a test for any_tag_set similar to the logic a little futher down. Care is taken to ensure that 'nr_cleared_tags' remains equals to the number of entries in the 'tags' array which are set to '0' (which means that this tag is not set in the tree below pathp->node, and should be cleared at pathp->node and possibly above. [ Nick says: "Linus FYI, I was able to modify the radix tree test harness to catch the bug and can no longer trigger it after the fix. Resulting code passes all other harness tests as well of course." ] Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-08[PATCH] radix-tree: reduce tree height upon partial truncationNick Piggin
Shrink the height of a radix tree when it is partially truncated - we only do shrinkage of full truncation at present. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-08[PATCH] radix tree: early termination of tag clearingNick Piggin
Correctly determine the tags to be cleared in radix_tree_delete() so we don't keep moving up the tree clearing tags that we don't need to. For example, if a tag is simply not set in the deleted item, nor anywhere up the tree, radix_tree_delete() would attempt to clear it up the entire height of the tree. Also, tag_set() was made conditional so as not to dirty too many cachelines high up in the radix tree. Instead, put this logic into radix_tree_tag_set().

2005-11-07[PATCH] reiser4: add radix_tree_lookup_slot()Hans Reiser
Reiser4 uses radix trees to solve a trouble reiser4_readdir has serving nfs requests. Unfortunately, radix tree api lacks an operation suitable for modifying existing entry. This patch adds radix_tree_lookup_slot which returns pointer to found item within the tree. That location can be then updated. Both Nick and Christoph Lameter have patches which need this as well.

2005-10-08[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1Al Viro
- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t; - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

2005-09-07[PATCH] radix_tag_get(): differentiate between no present node and tag unset ↵Marcelo Tosatti
cases Simple patch to radix_tree_tag_get() to return different values for non present node and tag unset. The function is not used by any in-kernel callers (yet), but this information is definitely useful. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-07[PATCH] radix-tree: Remove unnecessary indirections and clean up codeChristoph Lameter
- There is frequent use of indirections in the radix code. This patch removes those indirections, makes the code more readable and allows the compilers to generate better code. - Removing indirections allows the removal of several casts. - Removing indirections allows the reduction of the radix_tree_path size from 3 to 2 words. - Use pathp-> consistently. - Remove unnecessary tmp variable in radix_tree_insert - Separate the upper layer processing from the lowest layer in __lookup() in order to make it easier to understand what is going on and allow compilers to generate better code for the loop.

2005-07-07[PATCH] mostly_read data sectionChristoph Lameter
Add a new section called ".data.read_mostly" for data items that are read frequently and rarely written to like cpumaps etc. If these maps are placed in the .data section then these frequenly read items may end up in cachelines with data is is frequently updated. In that case all processors in an SMP system must needlessly reload the cachelines again and again containing elements of those frequently used variables. The ability to share these cachelines will allow each cpu in an SMP system to keep local copies of those shared cachelines thereby optimizing performance.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus 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!
