Randy Dunlap 9789cfe22e nfsctl: add headers for credentials
Needs headers help for current_cred:

Adding only cred.h wasn't enough.

linux-next-20081023/fs/nfsctl.c:45: error: implicit declaration of function 'current_cred'

David Howells 745ca2475a CRED: Pass credentials through dentry_open()
Pass credentials through dentry_open() so that the COW creds patch can have
SELinux's flush_unauthorized_files() pass the appropriate creds back to itself
when it opens its null chardev.

The security_dentry_open() call also now takes a creds pointer, as does the
dentry_open hook in struct security_operations.

Jan Blunck 1d957f9bf8 Introduce path_put()
* Add path_put() functions for releasing a reference to the dentry and
  vfsmount of a struct path in the right order

* Switch from path_release(nd) to path_put(&nd->path)

* Rename dput_path() to path_put_conditional()

Jan Blunck 4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

with patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

Peter Staubach 85c6932ef0 [PATCH] nfsservctl(): remove user-triggerable printk
A user can use nfsservctl() to spam the logs.

This can happen because the arguments to the nfsservctl() system call are
versioned.  This is a good thing.  However, when a bad version is detected,
the kernel prints a message and then returns an error.

Alan Cox 715b49ef2d [PATCH] EDAC: atomic scrub operations
EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset
does not do the work automatically.  That means rewriting memory locations
atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters.  That means we can't
use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP

This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently
supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block.

It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included
before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32.

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!
