Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:41:11 +1000 Message-Id: <1214455277-6387-1-git-send-email-david@fromorbit.com> X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.5.5.4 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 878 Lines: 18 This series aims to convert all but one of the remaining users of semaphores in the XFS code to use completions. Two of these semaphores don't quite match to completion semantics, but a small amount of additional code on top of the completions fixes this problem. I'm open to suggestions on different/better ways to implement this. The patch series does not touch the b_lock semaphore in the xfs_buf_t. At this point I'm not sure what we want to do with that semaphore so I've ignored that for now. Also, this lock uses linux primitives, not the xfs sema_t primitives so it doesn't need changing to allow me to remove the sema_t. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
