1b1dcc1b57 [PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_sem
This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.

5160ee6fc8 [PATCH] shrink dentry struct
Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
of memory cache lines.

Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
(128 + 8 = 136 bytes)

This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
memory needs.

At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.

Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)

As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

gss_create_upcall() should not error just because rpc.gssd closed the
 pipe on its end. Instead, it should requeue the pending requests and then
 retry.

bb184f3356 SUNRPC: Fix Oopsable condition in rpc_pipefs
The elements on rpci->in_upcall are tracked by the filp->private_data,
 which will ensure that they get released when the file is closed.

 The exception is if rpc_close_pipes() gets called first, since that
 sets rpci->ops to NULL.

49705b7743 [PATCH] sanitize lookup_hash prototype
->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to
pass down lookup intents.  Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't
actually pass this one down.  For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct
nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only
used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation.  All other
callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the
lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives
the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it.  All callers already have
the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem.

At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there
are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage.  Before it can
actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.

747c5534c9 RPC: stops the release_pipe() funtion from being called twice
This patch stops the release_pipe() funtion from being called
 twice by invalidating the ops pointer in the rpc_inode
 when rpc_pipe_release() is called.

278c995c8a [PATCH] RPC,NFS: new rpc_pipefs patch
Currently rpc_mkdir/rpc_rmdir and rpc_mkpipe/mk_unlink have an API that's
 a little unfortunate.  They take a path relative to the rpc_pipefs root and
 thus need to perform a full lookup.  If you look at debugfs or usbfs they
 always store the dentry for directories they created and thus can pass in
 a dentry + single pathname component pair into their equivalents of the
 above functions.

 And in fact rpc_pipefs actually stores a dentry for all but one component so
 this change not only simplifies the core rpc_pipe code but also the callers.

 Unfortuntately this code path is only used by the NFS4 idmapper and
 AUTH_GSSAPI for which I don't have a test enviroment.  Could someone give
 it a spin?  It's the last bit needed before we can rework the
 lookup_hash API

ba89966c19 [NET]: use __read_mostly on kmem_cache_t , DEFINE_SNMP_STAT pointers
This patch puts mostly read only data in the right section
(read_mostly), to help sharing of these data between CPUS without
memory ping pongs.

On one of my production machine, tcp_statistics was sitting in a
heavily modified cache line, so *every* SNMP update had to force a
reload.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
