Ingo Molnar 5f921ae96f [PATCH] sem2mutex: ipc, id.sem
Semaphore to mutex conversion.

The conversion was generated via scripts, and the result was validated
automatically via a script as well.

Alexey Kuznetsov a70ea994a0 [NETLINK]: Fix a severe bug
netlink overrun was broken while improvement of netlink.
Destination socket is used in the place where it was meant to be source socket,
so that now overrun is never sent to user netlink sockets, when it should be,
and it even can be set on kernel socket, which results in complete deadlock
of rtnetlink.

Suggested fix is to restore status quo passing source socket as additional
argument to netlink_attachskb().

A little explanation: overrun is set on a socket, when it failed
to receive some message and sender of this messages does not or even
have no way to handle this error. This happens in two cases:
1. when kernel sends something. Kernel never retransmits and cannot
   wait for buffer space.
2. when user sends a broadcast and the message was not delivered
   to some recipients.

Alexander Viro 7c7dce9209 [PATCH] Fix double decrement of mqueue_mnt->mnt_count in sys_mq_open
Fixed the refcounting on failure exits in sys_mq_open() and
cleaned the logics up.  Rules are actually pretty simple - dentry_open()
expects vfsmount and dentry to be pinned down and it either transfers
them into created struct file or drops them.  Old code had been very
confused in that area - if dentry_open() had failed either in do_open()
or do_create(), we ended up dentry and mqueue_mnt dropped twice, once
by dentry_open() cleanup and then by sys_mq_open().

Fix consists of making the rules for do_create() and do_open()
same as for dentry_open() and updating the sys_mq_open() accordingly;
that actually leads to more straightforward code and less work on
normal path.

Jes Sorensen 1b1dcc1b57 [PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_sem
This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.

Krzysztof Benedyczak 5917583978 [PATCH] Make POSIX message queue sys_mq_open() honor umask
We ignored umask when creating new queues via mq_open (when creating
with open() on mqueue fs it is ok of course).  According to the
specification this a bug.  This trivial patch fixes this.

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!
