2016-01-16	include/linux/kdev_t.h: remove new_valid_dev()	Yaowei Bai	1	-5/+0
	As all new_valid_dev() checks have been removed it's time to drop new_valid_dev() itself. No functional change.

2015-11-09	include/linux/kdev_t.h: old/new_valid_dev() can return bool	Yaowei Bai	1	-2/+2
	Make old/new_valid_dev return bool due to these two particular functions only using either one or zero as their return value. No functional change.

2015-11-09	include/linux/kdev_t.h: remove unused huge_valid_dev()	Yaowei Bai	1	-5/+0
	There's no user of huge_valid_dev() any more, so remove it. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Yaowei Bai <bywxiaobai@163.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-04-04	[PATCH] remove protection of LANANA-reserved majors	Andrew Morton	1	-2/+0
	Revert all this. It can cause device-mapper to receive a different major from earlier kernels and it turns out that the Amanda backup program (via GNU tar, apparently) checks major numbers on files when performing incremental backups. Which is a bit broken of Amanda (or tar), but this feature isn't important enough to justify the churn.

2007-02-20	[PATCH] rework reserved major handling	Andrew Morton	1	-0/+1
	Several people have reported failures in dynamic major device number handling due to the recent changes in there to avoid handing out the local/experimental majors. Rolf reports that this is due to a gcc-4.1.0 bug. The patch refactors that code a lot in an attempt to provoke the compiler into behaving.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+101
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
