2005-04-16[PATCH] md: remove a number of misleading calls to MD_BUGNeilBrown
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 deregistrationNeilBrown
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>

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!
