40be0c28b3 [PATCH] nbd: Don't create all MAX_NBD devices by default all the time
This patches adds the "nbds_max" parameter to the nbd kernel module, which
limits the number of nbds allocated.  Previously, always all 128 entries
were allocated unconditionally, which used to waste resources and
needlessly flood the hotplug system with events.  (Defaults to 16 now.)

1181c1f923 [PATCH] noop-iosched: kill O(N) merge scan
Profiling hit rates on merging shows that the last merge hint works
extremely well for most work loads.  So lets kill the linear merge scan in
noop-iosched, so it provides O(1) run time for any operation.

Testing credits go to Ken Chen from Intel.

461790f790 [PATCH] broken dependency for floppy on ARM
(!ARCH_S390 && !M68K && !IA64 && !UML) is obviously always true on ARM.

Intended behaviour for ARM is "absent unless we are on RiscPC or
EBSA285".  So what we want is added && !ARM in the first term - without
it the last part (|| ARCH_RPC || ARCH_EBSA285, that is) doesn't do
anything.

a4b3836409 [PATCH] aoe 12/12: send outgoing packets in order
I can't use list.h, since sk_buff doesn't have a list_head but instead
has two struct sk_buff pointers, and I want to avoid any extra memory
allocation.

152587deb8 [PATCH] fix NMI lockup with CFQ scheduler
The current problem seen is that the queue lock is actually in the
SCSI device structure, so when that structure is freed on device
release, we go boom if the queue tries to access the lock again.

The fix here is to move the lock from the scsi_device to the queue.

a299738283 [PATCH] use cheaper elv_queue_empty when unplug a device
In function __generic_unplug_device(), kernel can use a cheaper function
elv_queue_empty() instead of more expensive elv_next_request to find
whether the queue is empty or not.  blk_run_queue can also made conditional
on whether queue's emptiness before calling request_fn().

4a534f93b3 [PATCH] possible use-after-free of bio
There is a possibility that a bio will be accessed after it has been freed
on SCSI.  It happens if you submit a bio with BIO_SYNC marked and the
auto-unplugging kicks the request_fn, SCSI re-enables interrupts in-between
so if the request completes between the add_request() in __make_request()
and the bio_sync() call, we could be looking at a dead bio.  It's a slim
race, but it has been triggered in the Real World.

So assign bio_sync() to a local variable instead.

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!
