      [AF_UNIX]: Rewrite garbage collector, fixes race. · 1fd05ba5
      Miklos Szeredi 提交于
      Throw out the old mark & sweep garbage collector and put in a
      refcounting cycle detecting one.
      
      The old one had a race with recvmsg, that resulted in false positives
      and hence data loss.  The old algorithm operated on all unix sockets
      in the system, so any additional locking would have meant performance
      problems for all users of these.
      
      The new algorithm instead only operates on "in flight" sockets, which
      are very rare, and the additional locking for these doesn't negatively
      impact the vast majority of users.
      
      In fact it's probable, that there weren't *any* heavy senders of
      sockets over sockets, otherwise the above race would have been
      discovered long ago.
      
      The patch works OK with the app that exposed the race with the old
      code.  The garbage collection has also been verified to work in a few
      simple cases.

      [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h · cd354f1a
      Tim Schmielau 提交于
      After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
      recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
      There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
      anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
      macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
      course of cleaning it up.
      
      To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
      removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
      
      Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
      arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
      allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
      configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
      introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
      by unnecessarily included header files).

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4

      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!
