Subject: io context sharing: preliminary support
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~1174^2~6
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d38ecf935fcb10264a6bc190855d9595165e6eeb;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

io context sharing: preliminary support

Detach task state from ioc, instead keep track of how many processes
are accessing the ioc.
