[PATCH] Fix semundo lock leakage

2005-08-05T22:56:41Z

semundo->lock can leak if semundo->refcount goes from 2 to 1 while another thread has it locked. This causes major problems for PREEMPT kernels. The simplest fix for now is to undo the single-thread optimization. This bug was found via relentless testing by Dominik Karall. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] shm: CONFIG_SHMEM=n build fix

2005-08-02T04:38:00Z

Fix bug found by Grant Coady 's autobuild setup. shmem_set_policy() and shmem_get_policy() are macros if !CONFIG_SHMEM, so this doesn't work. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] xtensa: remove old syscalls

2005-07-12T23:01:01Z

This patch fixes some minor bugs introduced by the previous patch (remove old syscalls). Both patches remove the obsolete syscalls. The changes in this patch were suggested by Arnd Bergmann. The vmlinux.lds.S changes are required for the latest gcc/binutils. Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] put_compat_shminfo() warning fix

2005-07-08T01:23:46Z

GCC 4 complains because the function put_compat_shminfo() can't get to its return statement if there is no error... If the function does not return -EFAULT, it doesn't return anything at all. Looks like a typo. Signed-off-by: Jesse Millan Signed-off-by: Domen Puncer Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] ipcsem: remove superflous decrease variable from sys_semtimedop

2005-06-23T16:45:30Z

Patrick noticed that the initial scan of the semaphore operations logs decrease and increase operations seperately, but then both cases are or'ed together and decrease is never used. The attached patch removes the decrease parameter - it shrinks sys_semtimedop() by 56 bytes. Signed-Of-By: Manfred Spraul Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] convert that currently tests _NSIG directly to use valid_signal()

2005-05-01T15:59:14Z

Convert most of the current code that uses _NSIG directly to instead use valid_signal(). This avoids gcc -W warnings and off-by-one errors. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] consolidate sys_shmat

[PATCH] use smp_mb/wmb/rmb where possible

2005-05-01T15:58:47Z

Replace a number of memory barriers with smp_ variants. This means we won't take the unnecessary hit on UP machines. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36Z

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!
