Hi Andrew, please add this series to the queue for the next cycle. This is a collection of cleanup patches, with only the last three focused on the log writer thread, the rest are miscellaneous. Patches 1/8, 4/8, and 7/8 adopt common implementations, 2/8 uses a generic macro, 5/8 removes dead code, 6/8 removes an unnecessary reference, and 3/8 and 8/8 each simplify a paticular messy implementation. Thanks, Ryusuke Konishi Huang Xiaojia (1): nilfs2: use common implementation of file type Ryusuke Konishi (7): nilfs2: use the BITS_PER_LONG macro nilfs2: separate inode type information from i_state field nilfs2: eliminate the shared counter and spinlock for i_generation nilfs2: do not repair reserved inode bitmap in nilfs_new_inode() nilfs2: remove sc_timer_task nilfs2: use kthread_create and kthread_stop for the log writer thread nilfs2: refactor nilfs_segctor_thread() fs/nilfs2/bmap.h | 5 +- fs/nilfs2/dir.c | 44 ++--------- fs/nilfs2/inode.c | 75 ++++--------------- fs/nilfs2/nilfs.h | 15 +++- fs/nilfs2/segment.c | 170 ++++++++++++++++++------------------------ fs/nilfs2/segment.h | 5 -- fs/nilfs2/super.c | 1 + fs/nilfs2/the_nilfs.c | 5 -- fs/nilfs2/the_nilfs.h | 6 -- 9 files changed, 108 insertions(+), 218 deletions(-) -- 2.34.1
