  • When having built-in IrDA, we hit the following error:

    `irda_sysctl_unregister' referenced in section `.init.text' of
    net/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of
    net/built-in.o
    `irda_proc_unregister' referenced in section `.init.text' of

    make[1]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
    make: *** [_all] Error 2

    This is due to the irda_init fix recently added, where we call __exit
    routines from an __init one. It is a build failure that I didn't catch
    because it doesn't show up when building IrDA as a module. My apologies
    for that.
    The following patch fixes that failure and is against your net-2.6
    tree. I hope it can make it to the merge window, and stable@kernel.org
    is CCed on this mail.

  • 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 comment at the nesting lock says:

    /* Careful for priority inversions here !
    * irlmp->links is never taken while another IrDA
    * spinlock is held, so we are safe. Jean II */

    So, under the assumption the author was right, it just needs a lockdep
    annotation.

  • This patch contains the following possible cleanups:

    - make the following needlessly global function static:

    - remove the following unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL's:
    - irlmp.c: sysctl_discovery_timeout
    - irlmp.c: irlmp_reasons
    - irlmp.c: irlmp_dup
    - irqueue.c: hashbin_find_next

  • 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!
