2006-07-14[PATCH] ramdisk blocksize Kconfig entryNathan Scott
Make the ramdisk blocksize configurable at kernel compilation time rather than only at boot or module load time, like a couple of the other ramdisk options. I found this handy awhile back but thought little of it, until recently asked by a few of the testing folks here to be able to do the same thing for their automated test setups. The Kconfig comment is largely lifted from comments in rd.c, and hopefully this will increase the chances of making folks aware that the default value often isn't a great choice here (for increasing values of PAGE_SIZE, even moreso).

2006-06-23[PATCH] frv: initrd is grossly broken on frv (never built)Al Viro
The FRV arch doesn't currently support initrd, so it should be disabled automatically for the moment. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-28[PATCH] let BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT depend on BLK_DEV_RAMAdrian Bunk
It's purely cosmetic, but with the patch there's no longer a BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT setting in the .config if BLK_DEV_RAM=n. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-25[PATCH] BLK_DEV_INITRD: do not require BLK_DEV_RAM=yZdenek Pavlas
Initramfs initrd images do not need a ramdisk device, so remove this restriction in Kconfig. BLK_DEV_RAM=n saves about 13k on i386. Also without ramdisk device there's no need for "dry run", so initramfs unpacks much faster. People using cramfs, squashfs, or gzipped ext2/minix initrd images are probably smart enough not to turn off ramdisk support by accident.

2006-02-05[PATCH] pktcdvd: Don't waste kernel memoryPeter Osterlund
Allocate memory for read-gathering at open time, when it is known just how much memory is needed. This avoids wasting kernel memory when the real packet size is smaller than the maximum packet size supported by the driver. This is always the case when using DVD discs.

2005-09-07[PATCH] Kconfig fix (BLK_DEV_FD dependencies)viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk
Sanitized and fixed floppy dependencies: split the messy dependencies for BLK_DEV_FD by introducing a new symbol (ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC), making BLK_DEV_FD depend on that one and taking declarations of ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC to arch/*/Kconfig. While we are at it, fixed several obvious cases when BLK_DEV_FD should have been excluded (architectures lacking asm/floppy.h are *not* going to have floppy.c compile, let alone work). If you can come up with better name for that ("this architecture might have working PC-compatible floppy disk controller"), you are more than welcome - just s/ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC/your_prefered_name/g in the patch below...

2005-04-24[PATCH] broken dependency for floppy on ARMAl Viro
(!ARCH_S390 && !M68K && !IA64 && !UML) is obviously always true on ARM. Intended behaviour for ARM is "absent unless we are on RiscPC or EBSA285". So what we want is added && !ARM in the first term - without it the last part (|| ARCH_RPC || ARCH_EBSA285, that is) doesn't do anything.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
