2012-05-15ext3: return 32/64-bit dir name hash according to usage typeEric Sandeen
This is based on commit d1f5273e9adb40724a85272f248f210dc4ce919a ext4: return 32/64-bit dir name hash according to usage type by Fan Yong <yong.fan@whamcloud.com> Traditionally ext2/3/4 has returned a 32-bit hash value from llseek() to appease NFSv2, which can only handle a 32-bit cookie for seekdir() and telldir(). However, this causes problems if there are 32-bit hash collisions, since the NFSv2 server can get stuck resending the same entries from the directory repeatedly. Allow ext3 to return a full 64-bit hash (both major and minor) for telldir to decrease the chance of hash collisions. This patch does implement a new ext3_dir_llseek op, because with 64-bit hashes, nfs will attempt to seek to a hash "offset" which is much larger than ext3's s_maxbytes. So for dx dirs, we call generic_file_llseek_size() with the appropriate max hash value as the maximum seekable size. Otherwise we just pass through to generic_file_llseek().

2008-10-28ext3: Add support for non-native signed/unsigned htree hash algorithmsTheodore Ts'o
The original ext3 hash algorithms assumed that variables of type char were signed, as God and K&R intended. Unfortunately, this assumption is not true on some architectures. Userspace support for marking filesystems with non-native signed/unsigned chars was added two years ago, but the kernel-side support was never added (until now).

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

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!
