2005-05-17	[PATCH] fix impossible VmallocChunk	Hugh Dickins
	VmallocTotal: 34359738367 kB VmallocUsed: 266288 kB VmallocChunk: 18014366299193295 kB is unsettling - x86_64 and some other architectures keep a separate address range for modules in vmalloc's vmlist, which /proc/meminfo should pass over.

2005-05-01	[PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentation	Pavel Pisa
	I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our university students again. The documentation could be extended for more sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0 time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well. So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are not too much skewed. I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc. You can see result of the modified documentation build at http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick cleanup work.

2005-05-01	[PATCH] procfs: Fix hardlink counts for /proc/<PID>/task	Daniel Drake
	The current logic assumes that a /proc/<PID>/task directory should have a hardlink count of 3, probably counting ".", "..", and a directory for a single child task. It's fairly obvious that this doesn't work out correctly when a PID has more than one child task, which is quite often the case.

2005-05-01	[PATCH] procfs: Fix hardlink counts	Daniel Drake
	The pid directories in /proc/ currently return the wrong hardlink count - 3, when there are actually 4 : ".", "..", "fd", and "task". This is easy to notice using find(1): cd /proc/<pid> find In the output, you'll see a message similar to: find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for .: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86031 I also noticed that CONFIG_SECURITY can add a 5th: attr, and performed a similar fix on the task directories too.

2005-04-29	[AUDIT] LOGIN message credentials	Steve Grubb
	Attached is a new patch that solves the issue of getting valid credentials into the LOGIN message. The current code was assuming that the audit context had already been copied. This is not always the case for LOGIN messages. To solve the problem, the patch passes the task struct to the function that emits the message where it can get valid credentials.

2005-04-16	[PATCH] meminfo: add Cached underflow check	Martin Hicks
	Working on some code lately I've been getting huge values for "Cached". The cause is that get_page_cache_size() is an approximate value, and for a sufficiently small returned value of get_page_cache_size() the value underflows.

2005-04-16	[PATCH] oom-killer disable for iscsi/lvm2/multipath userland critical sections	Andrea Arcangeli
	iscsi/lvm2/multipath needs guaranteed protection from the oom-killer, so make the magical value of -17 in /proc/<pid>/oom_adj defeat the oom-killer altogether. (akpm: we still need to document oom_adj and friends in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt!)

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds
	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!
