Revision af5a30d8cfcfc561336f982b06345d6b815e0bb3 authored by Nick Piggin on 03 June 2010, 12:01:46 UTC, committed by Al Viro on 04 June 2010, 21:16:30 UTC
mtime and ctime should be changed only if the file size has actually
changed. Patches changing ext2 and tmpfs from vmtruncate to new truncate
sequence has caused regressions where they always update timestamps.

There is some strange cases in POSIX where truncate(2) must not update
times unless the size has acutally changed, see 6e656be89.

This area is all still rather buggy in different ways in a lot of
filesystems and needs a cleanup and audit (ideally the vfs will provide
a simple attribute or call to direct all filesystems exactly which
attributes to change). But coming up with the best solution will take a
while and is not appropriate for rc anyway.

So fix recent regression for now.

config IOSCHED_NOOP
	bool
	default y
	---help---
	  The no-op I/O scheduler is a minimal scheduler that does basic merging
	  and sorting. Its main uses include non-disk based block devices like
	  memory devices, and specialised software or hardware environments
	  that do their own scheduling and require only minimal assistance from
	  the kernel.

config IOSCHED_DEADLINE
	tristate "Deadline I/O scheduler"
	default y
	---help---
	  The deadline I/O scheduler is simple and compact. It will provide
	  CSCAN service with FIFO expiration of requests, switching to
	  a new point in the service tree and doing a batch of IO from there
	  in case of expiry.

config IOSCHED_CFQ
	tristate "CFQ I/O scheduler"
	# If BLK_CGROUP is a module, CFQ has to be built as module.
	depends on (BLK_CGROUP=m && m) || !BLK_CGROUP || BLK_CGROUP=y
	default y
	---help---
	  The CFQ I/O scheduler tries to distribute bandwidth equally
	  among all processes in the system. It should provide a fair
	  and low latency working environment, suitable for both desktop
	  and server systems.

	  This is the default I/O scheduler.

	  Note: If BLK_CGROUP=m, then CFQ can be built only as module.

config CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED
	bool "CFQ Group Scheduling support"
	depends on IOSCHED_CFQ && BLK_CGROUP
	default n
	---help---
	  Enable group IO scheduling in CFQ.

choice
	prompt "Default I/O scheduler"
	default DEFAULT_CFQ
	help
	  Select the I/O scheduler which will be used by default for all
	  block devices.
