  • We mostly need it to protect cached user permissions. The c_flags field
    is advisory, reading the wrong value is harmless and in the worst case
    we hit a slow path where we have to make an extra upcall to the
    userspace cache manager when revalidating a dentry or inode.

  • Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

  • 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!
