  Since we removed sti()/cli() and related, how about removing it from
  Documentation/spinlocks.txt?

• fb0bbb92d   Documentation: rw_lock lessons learned ... Browse Code »

  In recent months, two different network projects erroneously
  strayed down the rw_lock path. Update the Documentation
  based upon comments by Eric Dumazet and Paul E. McKenney in
  those threads.

  Further updates await somebody else with more expertise.

  Changes:
  - Merged with extensive content by Stephen Hemminger.
  - Fix one of the comments by Linus Torvalds.

• 14dadf1d5   Add additional examples in Documentation/spinlocks.txt ... Browse Code »

  Checkpatch will throw an error if code doesn't use the correct initializers
  for static spinlocks:

  ERROR: Use of SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated: see Documentation/spinlocks.txt

  This is fine, but Documentation/spinlocks.txt isn't very clear on how to
  _use_ the new initializers for static variables. To save people time in the
  future, I added two small examples of how to fix old-style static
  initializers to be more lockdep friendly.

  Static initialization of spinlocks is preferable to dynamic initialization
  when it is practical. This patch updates documentation for consistency
  with comments in spinlock_types.h.

  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!
