  • 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.

  • rose_add_loopback_neigh uses kmalloc and the callers were ignoring the
    error value. Rewrite to let the caller deal with the allocation. This
    allows the use of static allocation of kmalloc use entirely.

  • 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.

  • 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!
