I proposed introducing a list_for_each_entry_continue_reverse macro
to be used in setup_net() when unrolling the failed ->init callback.
Here is the macro and some more cleanup in the setup_net() itself
to remove one variable from the stack :) The same thing is for the
cleanup_net() - the existing list_for_each_entry_reverse() is used.
Minor, but the code looks nicer.

There are many places in the kernel where the construction like
foo = list_entry(head->next, struct foo_struct, list);
are used.
The code might look more descriptive and neat if using the macro
list_first_entry(head, type, member) \
list_entry((head)->next, type, member)
Here is the macro itself and the examples of its usage in the generic code.
If it will turn out to be useful, I can prepare the set of patches to
inject in into arch-specific code, drivers, networking, etc.

A variety of (mostly) innocuous fixes to the embedded kernel-doc content in
source files, including:
* make multi-line initial descriptions single line
* denote some function names, constants and structs as such
* change erroneous opening '/*' to '/**' in a few places
* reword some text for clarity

This patch is in support of the IPMI driver. I have tested this with the
IPMI driver changes coming in the next patch.
Add a list_splice_init_rcu() function to splice an RCU-protected list into
another list. This takes the sync function as an argument, so one would do
something like:
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&list);
list_splice_init_rcu(&source, &dest, synchronize_rcu);
The idea being to keep the RCU API proliferation down to a dull roar.

I noticed that list.h init functions were evaluating macro arguments
multiple times and thought it might be nice to protect the unsuspecting
caller. Converting the macros to inline functions seems to reduce code
size, too. A i386 defconfig build with gcc 3.3.3 from fc4:
text data bss dec hex filename
3573148 565664 188828 4327640 4208d8 vmlinux.before

Remove the hlist_for_each_rcu() API, which is used only in one place, and
is trivially converted to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(), making the code
shorter and more readable. Any out-of-tree uses may be similarly
converted.

It seems that all the list_*_rcu primitives are missing a memory barrier
on the very first dereference. For example,
#define list_for_each_rcu(pos, head) \
for (pos = (head)->next; prefetch(pos->next), pos != (head); \
pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next))
It will go something like:
pos = (head)->next
prefetch(pos->next)
pos != (head)
do stuff
We're missing a barrier here.
pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next)
fetch pos->next
barrier given by rcu_dereference(pos->next)
store pos
Without the missing barrier, the pos->next value may turn out to be stale.
In fact, if "do stuff" were also dereferencing pos and relying on
list_for_each_rcu to provide the barrier then it may also break.
So here is a patch to make sure that we have a barrier for the first
element in the list.

2.6.12-rc6-mm1 has a few remaining synchronize_kernel()s, some (but not
all) in comments. This patch changes these synchronize_kernel() calls (and
comments) to synchronize_rcu() or synchronize_sched() as follows:
- arch/x86_64/kernel/mce.c mce_read(): change to synchronize_sched() to
handle races with machine-check exceptions (synchronize_rcu() would not cut
it given RCU implementations intended for hardcore realtime use.
- drivers/input/serio/i8042.c i8042_stop(): change to synchronize_sched() to
handle races with i8042_interrupt() interrupt handler. Again,
synchronize_rcu() would not cut it given RCU implementations intended for
hardcore realtime use.
- include/*/kdebug.h comments: change to synchronize_sched() to handle races
with NMIs. As before, synchronize_rcu() would not cut it...
- include/linux/list.h comment: change to synchronize_rcu(), since this
comment is for list_del_rcu().
- security/keys/key.c unregister_key_type(): change to synchronize_rcu(),
since this is interacting with RCU read side.
- security/keys/process_keys.c install_session_keyring(): change to
synchronize_rcu(), since this is interacting with RCU read side.

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!
