- Move capable() from sched.h to capability.h;

- Use  where capable() is used

	mm/, security/, & sound/;
	many more drivers/ to go)

[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"

2006-01-05T00:18:08+00:00

Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling
real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports
the state to userspace and generates events.

2005-09-07T23:57:26+00:00

Upgrade the request_firmware_nowait function to not start the hotplug
action on a firmware update.

This patch is tested along with dell_rbu driver on i386 and x86-64 systems.

[PATCH] request_firmware(): avoid race conditions

2005-06-29T04:20:30+00:00

Avoid race occurs when some process have open file descriptor for class
device attributes and already firmware allocated memory are freed.  Don't
allow negative loading timeout.

Here we add a TIMEOUT value to the hotplug environment of the firmware
requesting event. I will adapt udevd not to wait for anything else, if
it finds a TIMEOUT key.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

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!
