  • A variety of (mostly) innocuous fixes to the embedded kernel-doc content in
    source files, including:

    * make multi-line initial descriptions single line
    * denote some function names, constants and structs as such
    * change erroneous opening '/*' to '/**' in a few places
    * reword some text for clarity

  • Both __kfifo_put() and __kfifo_get() have header comments stating that if
    there is but one concurrent reader and one concurrent writer, locking is not
    necessary. This is almost the case, but a couple of memory barriers are
    needed. Another option would be to change the header comments to remove the
    bit about locking not being needed, and to change the those callers who
    currently don't use locking to add the required locking. The attachment
    analyzes this approach, but the patch below seems simpler.

  • - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

    - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
    the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
    generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
    typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

  • 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!
