  • Commit 66fa12c571d3 ("ieee1394: remove the old IEEE 1394 driver stack")
    eliminated the only user of cdev_index(). So it can be removed too.

  • The only user of the i_cindex element in the inode structure is used
    is by the firewire drivers. As part of an attempt to slim down the
    inode structure to save memory --- since a typical Linux system will
    have hundreds of thousands if not millions of inodes cached, a
    reduction in the size inode has high leverage.

    The firewire driver does not need i_cindex in any fast path, so it's
    simple enough to calculate when it is needed, instead of wasting space
    in the inode structure.

  • linux/cdev.h uses struct kobject and other structs and should therefore
    include them. Currently, a module either needs to add the missing includes
    itself, or, in case a module includes other headers already, needs to put
    last, which goes against a alphabetically-sorted include
    list.

  • Set the backing device info capabilities for /dev/mem and /dev/kmem to
    permit direct sharing under no-MMU conditions and full mapping capabilities
    under MMU conditions. Make the BDI used by these available to all directly
    mappable character devices.

    Also comment the capabilities for /dev/zero.

  • Mark the f_ops members of inodes as const, as well as fix the
    ripple-through this causes by places that copy this f_ops and then "do
    stuff" with it.

  • 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!
