Changes against v6:
- Handle direct_io failure inside generic_file_direct_write() as it was
recommend by Andrew (during discussion v1), and by Nick (during
discussion v6).
- change comments, make it more clear.
- one more time check what __generic_file_aio_write_nolock() always called
Changes against v6
- remove duplicated code from xfs,ntfs
- export generic_segment_checks, because it used by xfs,nfs now.
- change arguments initialization pocily according to Nick's comments.

Hi,
I am facing following problem and was wondering if somebody could help
me out.
Our char driver(pretty much like all other char drivers) does a
poll_wait()
and returns status depending on whether data is available to be read.
Even though some data is available to be read(verified using one of

A solution that is already in demand is a class based scheduler, where
the thread doing work for a client (temp.) joins

This patch introduces a new system call for timers events delivered
though file descriptors. This allows timer event to be used with
standard POSIX poll(2), select(2) and read(2). As a consequence of
supporting the Linux f_op->poll subsystem, they can be used with
epoll(2) too.
The system call is

This script cleans up various classes of stealth whitespace. In
particular, it cleans up:
- Whitespace (spaces or tabs)before newline;
- DOS line endings (CR before LF);
- Space before tab (spaces are deleted or converted to tabs);
- Empty lines at end of file.

This patch add an anonymous inode source, to be used for files that need
and inode only in order to create a file*. We do not care of having an
inode for each file, and we do not even care of having different names in
the associated dentries (dentry names will be same for classes of file*).

This patch series implements the new signalfd() system call.
I took part of the original Linus code (and you know how
badly it can be broken :), and I added even more breakage ;)
Signals are fetched from the same signal queue used by the process,
so signalfd will compete with standard kernel
