Pekka J Enberg dd3927105b [PATCH] introduce and use kzalloc
This patch introduces a kzalloc wrapper and converts kernel/ to use it.  It
saves a little program text.

Mika Kukkonen 230649da7c [PATCH] create_workqueue_thread() signedness fix
With "-W -Wno-unused -Wno-sign-compare" I get the following compile warning:

  CC      kernel/workqueue.o
kernel/workqueue.c: In function `workqueue_cpu_callback':
kernel/workqueue.c:504: warning: ordered comparison of pointer with integer zero

On error create_workqueue_thread() returns NULL, not negative pointer, so
following trivial patch suggests itself.

James Bottomley 6068674437 [PATCH] remove name length check in a workqueue
We have a chek in there to make sure that the name won't overflow
task_struct.comm[], but it's triggering for scsi with lots of HBAs, only
scsi is using single-threaded workqueues which don't append the "/%d"
anyway.

All too hard.  Just kill the BUG_ON.

[ kthread_create() uses vsnprintf() and limits the thing, so no
  actual overflow can actually happen regardless ]

James Bottomley 81ddef77bb [PATCH] re-export cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue
This was unexported by Arjan because we have no current users.

However, during a conversion from tasklets to workqueues of the parisc led
functions, we ran across a case where this was needed.  In particular, the
open coded equivalent of cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue was implemented
incorrectly, which is, I think, all the evidence necessary that this is a
useful API.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
