From: Sébastien Dugué
Date: Thu Nov 30 2006 - 10:52:39 EST


Hi

Here is the latest rework of the AIO completion signal notification patches.

This set consists in 5 patches:

1. rework-compat-sys-io-submit: cleanup the sys_io_submit() compat layer,
making it more efficient and laying out the base for the following patches

2. aio-header-fix-includes: fixes the double inclusion of uio.h in aio.h

3. export-good_sigevent: move good_sigevent into signal.c and make it
non-static

4. aio-notify-sig: the AIO completion signal notification

5. listio: adds listio support

Description are in the individual patches.

Changes from v3:
All changes following comments from Zach Brown and Christoph Hellwig

- added justification for the compat_sys_io_submit() cleanup
- more cleanups in compat_sys_io_submit() to put it in line with
sys_io_submit()
- Changed "Export good_sigevent()" patch name to "Make good_sigevent()
non-static" to better describe what it does.
- Reworked good_sigevent() to make it more readable.
- Simplified the use of the SIGEV_* constants in signal notification
- Take a reference on the target task both for the SIGEV_THREAD_ID and
SIGEV_SIGNAL cases.

Changes from v2:
- rebased to 2.6.19-rc6-mm2
- reworked the sys_io_submit() compat layer as suggested by Zach Brown
- fixed saving of a pointer to a task struct in aio-notify-sig as
pointed out by Andrew Morton

Changes from v1:
- cleanups suggested by Christoph Hellwig, Badari Pulavarty and Zach Brown
- added lisio patch


Thanks for your comments, more welcomed, as usual.

Thanks,

Sébastien.
