From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Steven Whitehouse Date: Mon, 05 Feb 2007 14:07:05 +0000 Subject: [Cluster-devel] [GFS2 & DLM] Proposed patches for 2.6.20 merge window [0/54] Message-ID: <1170684425.11001.267.camel@quoit.chygwyn.com> List-Id: To: cluster-devel.redhat.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, Following this message are the patches which currently make up the GFS2 -nmw (next merge window) git tree. Mostly they are bug fixes and clean ups, but there are one or two other changes, the highlights being: [26/54] Changes "writeback" mounts to not require buffer heads in writepages and also results in fewer I/Os. [29/54] This is probably the most notable since it effectively shrinks the amount of memory per struct gfs2_inode by half. [27/54] Removes the attempt at directory readahead in readdir and results in a substantial speed improvement for readdir without noticably slowing readdir+stat performance. Steve.
