34bb61f9dd [PATCH] fix klist semantics for lists which have elements removed on traversal
The problem is that klists claim to provide semantics for safe traversal of
lists which are being modified.  The failure case is when traversal of a
list causes element removal (a fairly common case).  The issue is that
although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which
is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the
klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers
to the prior element to get the next.

The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the
embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until
the list relinquishes the reference to it.

(akpm: fast-track this because it's needed for the 2.6.13 scsi merge)

d856f1e337 [PATCH] klist: fix klist to have the same klist_add semantics as list_head
at the moment, the list_head semantics are

list_add(node, head)

whereas current klist semantics are

klist_add(head, node)

This is bound to cause confusion, and since klist is the newcomer, it
should follow the list_head semantics.

I also added missing include guards to klist.h

d62c0f9fd2 [PATCH] Driver core: Use klist_del() instead of klist_remove().
Use klist_del() instead of klist_remove() when unregistering devices.
This will prevent a deadlock when executing a recursive unregister using
device_for_each_child().

94e7b1c5ff [PATCH] Add a klist to struct device_driver for the devices bound to it.
- Use it in driver_for_each_device() instead of the regular list_head and stop using
  the bus's rwsem for protection.
- Use driver_for_each_device() in driver_detach() so we don't deadlock on the
  bus's rwsem.
- Remove ->devices.
- Move klist access and sysfs link access out from under device's semaphore, since
  they're synchronized through other means.

af70316af1 [PATCH] Add a semaphore to struct device to synchronize calls to its driver.
This adds a per-device semaphore that is taken before every call from the core to a
driver method. This prevents e.g. simultaneous calls to the ->suspend() or ->resume()
and ->probe() or ->release(), potentially saving a whole lot of headaches.

It also moves us a step closer to removing the bus rwsem, since it protects the fields
in struct device that are modified by the core.

0b405a0f7e [PATCH] Driver Core: remove driver model detach_state
The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that:

 - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive;
 - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing;
 - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type;
 - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts;
 - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace.

This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well
as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

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!
