2006-01-15	correct email address of Manfred Spraul	Christian Kujau	1	-1/+1
	I tried to send the forcedeth maintainer an email, but it came back with: "The mail address manfreds@colorfullife.com is not read anymore. Please resent your mail to manfred@ instead of manfreds@." This patch fixes this. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
2006-01-11	[PATCH] move capable() to capability.h	Randy.Dunlap	1	-0/+1
	- Move capable() from sched.h to capability.h; - Use <linux/capability.h> where capable() is used (in include/, block/, ipc/, kernel/, a few drivers/, mm/, security/, & sound/; many more drivers/ to go) Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-12-24	Fix silly typo ("smb" vs "smp")	Linus Torvalds	1	-1/+1
	Introduced by commit 6003a93e7bf6c02f33c02976ff364785d4273295
2005-12-24	[PATCH] add missing memory barriers to ipc/sem.c	Manfred Spraul	1	-0/+2
	Two smp_wmb() statements are missing in the sysv sem code: This could cause stack corruptions. The attached patch adds them. Signed-Off-By: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-07	[PATCH] ipc: convert /proc/sysvipc/* to generic seq_file interface	Mike Waychison	1	-50/+23
	Change the /proc/sysvipc/shm\|sem\|msg files to use the generic seq_file implementation for struct ipc_ids. Signed-off-by: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Cc: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-08-05	[PATCH] Fix semundo lock leakage	Ingo Molnar	1	-7/+3
	semundo->lock can leak if semundo->refcount goes from 2 to 1 while another thread has it locked. This causes major problems for PREEMPT kernels. The simplest fix for now is to undo the single-thread optimization. This bug was found via relentless testing by Dominik Karall.

2005-06-23	[PATCH] ipcsem: remove superflous decrease variable from sys_semtimedop	Manfred Spraul	1	-6/+3
	Patrick noticed that the initial scan of the semaphore operations logs decrease and increase operations seperately, but then both cases are or'ed together and decrease is never used. The attached patch removes the decrease parameter - it shrinks sys_semtimedop() by 56 bytes.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+1384
	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!
