  • Traditionally, changes to struct file->f_flags have been done under BKL
    protection, or with no protection at all. This patch causes all f_flags
    changes after file open/creation time to be done under protection of
    f_lock. This allows the removal of some BKL usage and fixes a number of
    longstanding (if microscopic) races.

  • 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!
