*	Driver Core: add ability for drivers to do a threaded probe	Greg Kroah-Hartman	2006-09-26	1	-0/+5
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	This adds the infrastructure for drivers to do a threaded probe, and waits at init time for all currently outstanding probes to complete. A new kernel thread will be created when the probe() function for the driver is called, if the multithread_probe bit is set in the driver saying it can support this kind of operation. I have tested this with USB and PCI, and it works, and shaves off a lot of time in the boot process, but there are issues with finding root boot disks, and some USB drivers assume that this can never happen, so it is currently not enabled for any bus type. Individual drivers can enable this right now if they wish, and bus authors can selectivly turn it on as well, once they determine that their subsystem will work properly with it.

*	[MTD] Allow alternate JFFS2 mount variant for root filesystem.	Joern Engel	2006-05-30	1	-0/+4

*	[PATCH] root mount failure: emit filesystems attempted	Andy Whitcroft	2006-05-15	1	-0/+5
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	When we fail to mount from a valid root device list out the filesystems we have tried to mount it with. This gives the user vital diagnostics as to what is missing from their kernel. For example in the fragment below the kernel does not have CRAMFS compiled into the kernel and yet appears to recognise it at the RAMDISK detect stage. Later the mount fails as we don't have the filesystem. RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block 0 RAMDISK: Loading 1604KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... done. XFS: bad magic number XFS: SB validate failed No filesystem could mount root, tried: reiserfs ext3 ext2 msdos vfat iso9660 jfs xfs Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1) Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
*	do_mounts.c: Minor ROOT_DEV comment cleanup	Florin Malita	2006-03-26	1	-1/+0
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	The ROOT_DEV comment is no longer accurate, it now seems to be initialized in init/do_mounts.c. Signed-off-by: Florin Malita <fmalita@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
*	[PATCH] vfs: MS_VERBOSE should be MS_SILENT	Theodore Ts'o	2006-03-24	1	-1/+1
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	The meaning of MS_VERBOSE is backwards; if the bit is set, it really means, "don't be verbose". This is confusing and counter-intuitive. In addition, there is also no way to set the MS_VERBOSE flag in the mount(8) program in util-linux, but interesting, it does define options which would do the right thing if MS_SILENT were defined, which unfortunately we do not: #ifdef MS_SILENT { "quiet", 0, 0, MS_SILENT }, /* be quiet / { "loud", 0, 1, MS_SILENT }, / print out messages. */ #endif So the obvious fix is to deprecate the use of MS_VERBOSE and replace it with MS_SILENT.

*	Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	2005-04-17	1	-0/+430
	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!
