2005-05-01	[PATCH] Change synchronize_kernel to _rcu and _sched	Paul E. McKenney
	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.

2005-05-01	[PATCH] mm: use __GFP_NOMEMALLOC	Nick Piggin
	Use the new __GFP_NOMEMALLOC to simplify the previous handling of PF_MEMALLOC. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-16	[PATCH] md: remove a number of misleading calls to MD_BUG	NeilBrown
	The conditions that cause these calls to MD_BUG are not kernel bugs, just oddities in what userspace is asking for. Also convert analyze_sbs to return void, and the value it returned was always 0.

2005-04-16	[PATCH] md: close a small race in md thread deregistration	NeilBrown
	There is a tiny race when de-registering an MD thread, in that the thread could disappear before it is set a SIGKILL, causing send_sig to have problems. This is most easily closed by holding tasklist_lock between enabling the thread to exit (setting ->run to NULL) and telling it to exit. (akpm: ick. Needs to use kthread API and stop using signals) Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-16	[PATCH] Avoid deadlock in sync_page_io by using GFP_NOIO	Neil Brown
	..as sync_page_io can be called on the write-out path. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
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!
