2007-02-14	[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h	Tim Schmielau	1	-1/+0
	After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2007-02-12	[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 8	Arjan van de Ven	1	-2/+2
	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.

2006-12-17	[AX.25]: Mark all kmalloc users __must_check	Ralf Baechle	1	-3/+5
	The recent fix 0506d4068bad834aab1141b5dc5e748eb175c6b3 made obvious that error values were not being propagated through the AX.25 stack. To help with that this patch marks all kmalloc users in the AX.25, NETROM and ROSE stacks as __must_check. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-06-26	[NETROM]: Fix possible null pointer dereference.	Ralf Baechle	1	-4/+8
	If in nr_link_failed the neighbour list is non-empty but the node list is empty we'll end dereferencing a in a NULL pointer. This fixes coverity 362. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-09-06	[AX25]: Make ax2asc thread-proof	Ralf Baechle	1	-3/+5
	Ax2asc was still using a static buffer for all invocations which isn't exactly SMP-safe. Change ax2asc to take an additional result buffer as the argument. Change all callers to provide such a buffer. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle DL5RB <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+1041
	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!
