2006-09-16	[PATCH] bug fix in kernel/kmod.c	Kenneth Lee	1	-2/+3
	I think there is a bug in kmod.c: In __call_usermodehelper(), when kernel_thread(wait_for_helper, ...) return success, since wait_for_helper() might call complete() at any time, the sub_info should not be used any more. Normally wait_for_helper() take a long time to finish, you may not get problem for most of the case. But if you remove /sbin/modprobe, it may become easier for you to get a oop in khelper.

2006-07-03	[PATCH] lockdep: annotate on-stack completions	Ingo Molnar	1	-1/+1
	lockdep needs to have the waitqueue lock initialized for on-stack waitqueues implicitly initialized by DECLARE_COMPLETION(). Annotate on-stack completions accordingly. Has no effect on non-lockdep kernels. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-10-30	[PATCH] Keys: Get rid of warning in kmod.c if keys disabled	David Howells	1	-3/+3
	The attached patch gets rid of a "statement without effect" warning when CONFIG_KEYS is disabled by making use of the return value of key_get(). The compiler will optimise all of this away when keys are disabled.

2005-06-24	[PATCH] Keys: Pass session keyring to call_usermodehelper()	David Howells	1	-4/+13
	The attached patch makes it possible to pass a session keyring through to the process spawned by call_usermodehelper(). This allows patch 3/3 to pass an authorisation key through to /sbin/request-key, thus permitting better access controls when doing just-in-time key creation.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+256
	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!
