2007-02-12	[PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 2	Arjan van de Ven
	Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

2006-06-28	[PATCH] mark address_space_operations const	Christoph Hellwig
	Same as with already do with the file operations: keep them in .rodata and prevents people from doing runtime patching.

2006-03-28	[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const	Arjan van de Ven
	This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-26	[PATCH] bitops: ntfs: remove generic_ffs()	Akinobu Mita
	Now the only user who are using generic_ffs() is ntfs filesystem. This patch isolates generic_ffs() as ntfs_ffs() for ntfs.

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!
