From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jeff Layton Subject: [PATCH] cifs: remove dnotify thread code Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 09:15:28 -0500 Message-ID: <1231424128-5598-1-git-send-email-jlayton@redhat.com> Cc: linux-cifs-client@lists.samba.org, linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org To: smfrench@gmail.com Return-path: Received: from mx2.redhat.com ([66.187.237.31]:54143 "EHLO mx2.redhat.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1751748AbZAHOPb (ORCPT ); Thu, 8 Jan 2009 09:15:31 -0500 Sender: linux-fsdevel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Al Viro recently removed the dir_notify code from the kernel along with the CIFS code that used it. We can also get rid of the dnotify thread as well. In actuality, it never had anything to do with dir_notify anyway. All it did was unnecessarily wake up all the tasks waiting on the response queues every 15s. Previously that happened to prevent tasks from hanging indefinitely when the server went unresponsive, but we put those to sleep with proper timeouts now so there's no reason to keep this around.
