Hi,
I am working on a file system that allow multiple files to share data
blocks. That is, a data block can be shared by two or more files. Now
my question is: suppose file A and B share the same data block D. Now
a process open file A and read block D, then this process closes file
A. If

Rather than ask on mailing-lists, it's probably easier to just make the jffs
compilation fail (with a #error). This way, if someone uses it, he'll bump
into it, no

I read the code and found that a block buffer is not necessarily freed
even if the corresponding inode is released. Looks like block buffer
can stay around as long as the system still has free memory. Is my
understanding correct?

Sure - avoid them if you like. But sometimes they work out rather
well. And file system API's are sometimes the best fit for them.
I'm all for choosing the simplest API topology that makes sense.
But
I think maybe I didnt communicate what I mean by a container here
(although I thought I did). I am referring to a container in a vserver
context (set of tasks which share the same namespace).

Here are some driver core fixes for 2.6.21-rc3.
They fix the following thing:
- fix reference counting bug when removing any driver module from the
system by reverting a previous "fix".
- allow older versions of HAL to find network devices even if
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is disabled.
This reverts commit 63ce18cfe685115ff8d341bae4c9204a79043cf0.
It was the incorrect fix and causes a reference counting bug whenever
any driver module is removed from the system. Mike Galbraith

Hi,
I have seen your message in LKML archive:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel=116046278930988=2
It's dated 2006.10.10 and states that a patch
to support NCQ on MCP55/MCP61 under Linux
is coming "soon". Now it's five months later
and I would like to ask when will it be supported?

resources are released by calling devres_release_all() in
