2006-03-28	[PATCH] paride: register_chrdev fix	Andrew Morton
	If the user specified `major=0' (odd thing to do), pg.c will use dynamic allocation. We need to pick up that major for subsequent unregister_chrdev(). Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-27	[PATCH] kzalloc() conversion in drivers/block	Eric Sesterhenn
	this patch converts drivers/block to kzalloc usage. Compile tested with allyesconfig. Signed-off-by: Eric Sesterhenn <snakebyte@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-03-24	[PATCH] Fix "value computed not used" warnings	Takashi Iwai
	Fixes for annoying gcc-4.1 compile warnings "value computed not used". Simply cast to void. (akpm: Linus will go ballistic...) Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-08	[PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method	Christoph Hellwig
	HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now. [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard sector size.

2006-01-06	[PATCH] parport: Kconfig dependency fixes	Marko Kohtala
	Make drivers that use directly PC parport HW depend on PARPORT_PC rather than HW independent PARPORT. Signed-off-by: Marko Kohtala <marko.kohtala@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-10-30	[PATCH] fix missing includes	Tim Schmielau
	I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

2005-10-30	[PATCH] delete 2 unreachable statements in drivers/block/paride/pf.c	Norbert Kiesel
	The last patch from Jens Axboe for drivers/block/paride/pf.c introduced pf_end_request() which sets pf_req to NULL. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-10-28	[PATCH] Driver Core: fix up all callers of class_device_create()	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	The previous patch adding the ability to nest struct class_device changed the paramaters to the call class_device_create(). This patch fixes up all in-kernel users of the function. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-09-17	[PATCH] fix pf request handling	Jens Axboe
	Here's the patch from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4853 It is a feeble attempt at fixing the request handling in pf, it is totally foobar right now.

2005-09-10	[PATCH] drivers/block: fix-up schedule_timeout() usage	Nishanth Aravamudan

2005-05-20	[SCSI] remove requeue feature from blk_insert_request()	Tejun Heo
	blk_insert_request() has a unobivous feature of requeuing a request setting REQ_SPECIAL\|REQ_SOFTBARRIER. SCSI midlayer was the only user and as previous patches removed the usage, remove the feature from blk_insert_request(). Only special requests should be queued with blk_insert_request(). All requeueing should go through blk_requeue_request(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus 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!
