2 * Resizable simple ram filesystem for Linux.
4 * Copyright (C) 2000 Linus Torvalds.
7 * Usage limits added by David Gibson, Linuxcare Australia.
8 * This file is released under the GPL.
12 * NOTE! This filesystem is probably most useful
13 * not as a real filesystem, but as an example of
14 * how virtual filesystems can be written.
16 * It doesn't get much simpler than this. Consider
17 * that this file implements the full semantics of
18 * a POSIX-compliant read-write filesystem.
20 * Note in particular how the filesystem does not
21 * need to implement any data structures of its own
22 * to keep track of the virtual data: using the VFS
23 * caches is sufficient.
