I was specifically referring to the O_SYNC changes there. That means databases: postgresql, mysql, sapdb, etc.
Some of these use fsync()-based synchronisation and won't benefit, but they may have compile-time or runtime options to use O_SYNC instead.
Apart from that, just using the kernel in day-to-day activity is the most important thing. If everyone does that, and everyone is happy then by definition this kernel is a wrap. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
