[PATCH] md: convert 'faulty' and 'in_sync' fields to bits in 'flags' field

2005-11-09T15:56:38+00:00

This has the advantage of removing the confusion caused by 'rdev_t' and
'mddev_t' both having 'in_sync' fields.

[BLOCK] Unify the seperate read/write io stat fields into arrays

2005-11-01T08:26:16+00:00

Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two
into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch
several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the
actual io direction is. On my x86-64 box, that's 200 bytes less text in
just the core (not counting the various drivers).

[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1

2005-10-08T22:00:57+00:00

 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

[PATCH] md: fail IO request to md that require a barrier.

2005-09-09T23:39:09+00:00

md does not yet support BIO_RW_BARRIER, so be honest about it and fail
(-EOPNOTSUPP) any such requests.

[PATCH] md: remove unneeded NULL checks before kfree

2005-06-22T02:07:48+00:00

This patch removes some unneeded checks of pointers being NULL before
calling kfree() on them.  kfree() handles NULL pointers just fine, checking
first is pointless.

[PATCH] md: set the unplug_fn and issue_flush_fn for md devices after committed to creation

2005-05-17T14:59:12+00:00

We we set the too early, they may still be in place and possibly get called
even though the array didn't get set up properly.

[PATCH] Change synchronize_kernel to _rcu and _sched

2005-05-01T15:59:04+00:00

This patch changes calls to synchronize_kernel(), deprecated in the earlier
"Deprecate synchronize_kernel, GPL replacement" patch to instead call the new
synchronize_rcu() and synchronize_sched() APIs.

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!
