2007-02-12	[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 8	Arjan van de Ven	1	-1/+1
	Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

Jean II */ So, under the assumption the author was right, it just needs a lockdep annotation.

2006-07-21	[IrDA]: Use alloc_skb() in IrDA TX path	Samuel Ortiz	1	-1/+1
	As pointed out by Christoph Hellwig, dev_alloc_skb() is not intended to be used for allocating TX sk_buff. The IrDA stack was exclusively calling dev_alloc_skb() on the TX path, and this patch fixes that. Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz <samuel@sortiz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+2041
	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!
