  • Many struct file_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.

  • The recent fix 0506d4068bad834aab1141b5dc5e748eb175c6b3 made obvious that
    error values were not being propagated through the AX.25 stack. To help
    with that this patch marks all kmalloc users in the AX.25, NETROM and
    ROSE stacks as __must_check.

    This is the net/ part of the big kfree cleanup patch.

    Remove pointless checks for NULL prior to calling kfree() in net/.

  • Ax2asc was still using a static buffer for all invocations which isn't
    exactly SMP-safe. Change ax2asc to take an additional result buffer as
    the argument. Change all callers to provide such a buffer.

  • o Brown paperbag bug - ax25_findbyuid() was always returning a NULL pointer
    as the result. Breaks ROSE completly and AX.25 if UID policy set to deny.

    o While the list structure of AX.25's UID to callsign mapping table was
    properly protected by a spinlock, it's elements were not refcounted
    resulting in a race between removal and usage of an element.

  • 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!
