Jes Sorensen 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.

Eric Dumazet 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.

Linus Torvalds d7dd8a72ab Use the new "kill_proc_info_as_uid()" for USB disconnect too
All the same issues - we can't just save the pointer to the thread, we
must save the pid/uid/euid combination.

Kay Sievers fbf82fd2e1 [PATCH] USB: real nodes instead of usbfs
This patch introduces a /sys/class/usb_device/ class
where every connected usb-device will show up:

  tree /sys/class/usb_device/
  /sys/class/usb_device/
  |-- usb1.1
  |   |-- dev
  |   `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1
  |-- usb2.1
  |   |-- dev
  |   `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2
  ...

The presence of the "dev" file lets udev create real device nodes.
  kay@pim:~/src/linux-2.6> tree /dev/bus/usb/
  /dev/bus/usb/
  |-- 1
  |   `-- 1
  |-- 2
  |   `-- 1
  ...

udev rule:
  SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usb_device %k", NAME="%c"
  (echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usb\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/')

This makes libusb pick up the real nodes instead of the mounted usbfs:
  export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb

Background:
  All this makes it possible to manage usb devices with udev instead of
  the devfs solution. We are currently working on a pam_console/resmgr
  replacement driven by udev and a pam-helper. It applies ACL's to device
  nodes, which is required for modern desktop functionalty like
  "Fast User Switching" or multiple local login support.

New patch with its own major. I've succesfully disabled usbfs and use real
nodes only on my box. With: "export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb" libusb picks
up the udev managed nodes instead of reading usbfs files.

This makes udev to provide symlinks for libusb to pick up:
  SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usbdevice %k", SYMLINK="%c"

/sbin/usbdevice:
  #!/bin/sh
  echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usbdev\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/'

Christoph Hellwig 5f45f1a78f [PATCH] remove duplicate get_dentry functions in various places
Various filesystem drivers have grown a get_dentry() function that's a
duplicate of lookup_one_len, except that it doesn't take a maximum length
argument and doesn't check for \0 or / in the passed in filename.

Switch all these places to use lookup_one_len.

Linus Torvalds 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!
