Christoph Hellwig	f6d6d4fcd1	[XFS] Initial pass at going directly-to-bio on the buffered IO path. This ... allows us to submit much larger I/Os instead of sending down lots of small buffer_heads. To do this we need to have a rather complicated I/O submission and completion tracking infrastructure. Part of the latter has been merged already a long time ago for direct I/O support. Part of the problem is that we need to track sub-pagesize regions and for that we still need buffer_heads for the time beeing. Long-term I hope we can move to better data strucutures and/or maybe move this to fs/mpage.c instead of having it in XFS. Original patch from Nathan Scott with various updates from David Chinner and Christoph Hellwig.

Nathan Scott	4aeb664c25	[XFS] Improve buffered read throughput by removing unnecessary timer calls ... that showed in ´kernel profiles. SGI-PV: 925163 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux:xfs-kern:23861a Signed-off-by: Nathan Scott <nathans@sgi.com>	2005-11-02 11:43:58 +11:00
Linus Torvalds	1da177e4c3	Linux-2.6.12-rc2 ... 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!	2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07:00
