* [BLOCK] Don't pin lots of memory in mempoolsJens Axboe2007-04-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we scale the mempool sizes depending on memory installed in the machine, except for the bio pool itself which sits at a fixed 256 entry pre-allocation. There's really no point in "optimizing" this OOM path, we just need enough preallocated to make progress. A single unit is enough, lets scale it down to 2 just to be on the safe side. This patch saves ~150kb of pinned kernel memory on a 32-bit box. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* [PATCH] dm io: fix bi_max_vecsHeinz Mauelshagen2006-12-081-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing code allocates an extra slot in bi_io_vec[] and uses it to store the region number. This patch hides the extra slot from bio_add_page() so the region number can't get overwritten. Also remove a hard-coded SECTOR_SHIFT and fix a typo in a comment.

* [PATCH] mempool: use common mempool kmalloc allocatorMatthew Dobson2006-03-261-11/+2
| | | | | | | | | | This patch changes several mempool users, all of which are basically just wrappers around kmalloc(), to use the common mempool_kmalloc/kfree, rather than their own wrapper function, removing a bunch of duplicated code.

* [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1Al Viro2005-10-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | - 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.

* [PATCH] kill bio->bi_setPeter Osterlund2005-09-071-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jens: ->bi_set is totally unnecessary bloat of struct bio. Just define a proper destructor for the bio and it already knows what bio_set it belongs too. Peter: Fixed the bugs.

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!
