Paul E. McKenney fbd568a3e6 [PATCH] Change synchronize_kernel to _rcu and _sched
This patch changes calls to synchronize_kernel(), deprecated in the earlier
"Deprecate synchronize_kernel, GPL replacement" patch to instead call the new
synchronize_rcu() and synchronize_sched() APIs.

NeilBrown a757e64cfa [PATCH] md: remove a number of misleading calls to MD_BUG
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.

NeilBrown d28446fe2d [PATCH] md: close a small race in md thread deregistration
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)

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!
