      . Fix up the bug in reiser4_init_super_data():
        The pointer "p" to opt_desc structure is not
        incremented.
        Pass "&p" instead of "p" to push_sb_field_opts(),
        which is supposed to increment the pointer.
      . Modify macros PUSH_OPT, OPT_ARRAY_CHECK to accept
        arguments.

      This is the main reiserfs4 filesystem. · 1b1cafb1
      Vladimir Saveliev authored
      Q&A wrt this patch:
      
      - A really short guide to how to get up and running with this filesystem.
      
              Reiser4 is a file system based on dancing tree algorithms, and
              is described at http://www.namesys.com.  One should be able to get it
              up and running just like any of the other filesystems supported by
              Linux.  Configure it to be compiled either builtin or as a module. 
              Create reiser4 filesystem with mkfs.reiser4, mount and use it.  More
              detailed info can be found at
              http://thebsh.namesys.com/snapshots/LATEST/READ.ME.
      
      - The direct URL which people use to obtain the mkfs tool for this
        filesystem.  Also fsck and anything else.
      
              Reiser4 userland tools can be obtained at
              ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4progs. 
              ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4progs/README contains detailed
              instructions on how to compile and install these tools.  Also all
              reiser4 progs have man pages.  
      
      - Any known shortcomings, caveats, etc.
      
              Reiser4 has been tested on i386 yet only.  Quota support is
              not ready yet.  Should be ready soon.  Reiser4 was tested extensively,
              and we got to where the mailing list was not able to hit any bugs, but
              then we told people that, got an order of magnitude increase in users,
              and they are able to hit bugs that we are working on now.
      
              Reiser's Law of Software Engineering: Each order of magnitude
              increase in users finds more bugs, in a quantity equal to the previous
              order of magnitude increase in users.  Success for software developers
              is measured by how long the frustration lasts.
      
              Only the very core functionality is working.  Exotic plugins,
              an API for multiple operation transactions and accessing multiple
              small files in one syscall, compression, inheritance, all have been
              postponed until after the core functionality is shipped.  The
              compression plugin needs a code review before anyone should use it.
      
      - A statement on compatibility with reiserfs3 filesytems.
      
              To upgrade from reiserfs V3 to V4, use tar, or sponsor us to
              write a convertfs.
      
      - Bear in mind that people will immediately benchmark this filesytem, and
        first impressions count.  Now is your chance to communicate any tuning
        guidelines, mount options or whatever which you'd like people to understand
        BEFORE they start publishing benchmark info.
      
              Reiser4 is not tuned for fsync/sync/O_SYNC performance yet.  
      
              If you see results that are much different from those at
              www.namesys.com/benchmarks.html, let us know.  If you see performance
              characteristics that don't quite make sense, email
              reiserfs-list@namesys.com, such things are always of interest.
      
              reiser4 is not tuned for mmaping and dirtying more than
              physical ram like IOzone does.  This is quite different in its code
              path from writing and dirtying more than physical ram.  There are
              those who think that what IOZone does is rarely done by real programs,
              and therefor we should not bother to optimize what it does.  All I
              know is, this month we are not optimized for it.
      
              Please consider its space savings when you benchmark it also.

      reiser4: use simple_prepare_write to zero page data
      EDESC
      It's common for file systems to need to zero data on either side of a
      write, if a page is not Uptodate during prepare_write.  It just so happens
      that simple_prepare_write() in libfs.c does exactly that, so we can avoid
      duplication and just call that function to zero page data.

      This patch pushes into Reiser4 the changes introduced by
      commit 6712ecf8:
      
      	As bi_end_io is only called once when the request is complete,
      	the 'size' argument is now redundant.  Remove it.
      
      	Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed
      	from bi_size.  So don't do that either.
      
      	While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void.

      mm: clean up and kernelify shrinker registration
      EDESC
      I can never remember what the function to register to receive VM pressure
      is called.  I have to trace down from __alloc_pages() to find it.
      
      It's called "set_shrinker()", and it needs Your Help.
      
      1) Don't hide struct shrinker.  It contains no magic.
      2) Don't allocate "struct shrinker".  It's not helpful.
      3) Call them "register_shrinker" and "unregister_shrinker".
      4) Call the function "shrink" not "shrinker".
      5) Reduce the 17 lines of waffly comments to 13, but document it properly.

      Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks
      EDESC
      The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
      using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
      the kernel.
      
      The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
      this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
      more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

      remove asm/bitops.h includes
      
      including asm/bitops directly may cause compile errors. don't include it
      and include linux/bitops instead. next patch will deny including asm header
      directly.

      This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting · efca0bcd
      Albin Tonnerre authored
      LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on
      the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using
      LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images.
      
      
      
      This patch:
      
      The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at
      extraction.  Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on:
      
      Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo
      gzip  1.61Mo 0.72s
      lzo   1.75Mo 0.48s
      
      So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's
      much faster to extract, at least in that case.
      
      This part contains:
       - Makefile routine to support lzo compression
       - Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in
         compressed kernels
       - wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one
         block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here
       - config dialog for kernel compression
