  • Change d_hash so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. See similar
    patch for d_compare for details.

    For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change.

  • Change d_compare so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. This
    does put significant restrictions on what may be done from the callback,
    however there don't seem to have been any problems with in-tree fses.
    If some strange use case pops up that _really_ cannot cope with the
    rcu-walk rules, we can just add new rcu-unaware callbacks, which would
    cause name lookup to drop out of rcu-walk mode.

    For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change.

  • 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!
