Randy Dunlap e63340ae6b header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used
Remove includes of <linux/smp_lock.h> where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

Nick Piggin 6fe6900e1e mm: make read_cache_page synchronous
Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd.  All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.

Arjan van de Ven 92e1d5be91 [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 2
Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Trond Myklebust 717d44e849 [PATCH] NFS: Fix races in nfs_revalidate_mapping()
Prevent the call to invalidate_inode_pages2() from racing with file writes
by taking the inode->i_mutex across the page cache flush and invalidate.

Frank Filz eb5f8545ff NFS: Remove use of the Big Kernel Lock around nfs calls to readlink
Remove use of the Big Kernel Lock around indirect calls to
nfs3_proc_readlink and nfs4_proc_readlink, both of which
basically call rpc_call_sync.

Trond Myklebust 44b11874ff NFS: Separate metadata and page cache revalidation mechanisms
Separate out the function of revalidating the inode metadata, and
revalidating the mapping. The former may be called by lookup(),
and only really needs to check that permissions, ctime, etc haven't changed
whereas the latter needs only done when we want to read data from the page
cache, and may need to sync and then invalidate the mapping.

Linus Torvalds cc314eef01 Fix nasty ncpfs symlink handling bug.
This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs
used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions.  But those
functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a
page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still
be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk.

We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it
is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking
helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability.

We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a
cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine.  This
also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

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!
