Nick Piggin f3ddbdc626 [PATCH] fix race in __block_prepare_write
Fix a race where __block_prepare_write can leak out an in-flight read
against a bh if get_block returns an error.  This can lead to the page
becoming unlocked while the buffer is locked and the read still in flight.
__mpage_writepage BUGs on this condition.

BUG sighted on a 2-way Itanium2 system with 16K PAGE_SIZE running

	fsstress -v -d $DIR/tmp -n 1000 -p 1000 -l 2

where $DIR is a new ext2 filesystem with 4K blocks that is quite
small (causing get_block to fail often with -ENOSPC).

akpm@osdl.org d59dd4620f [PATCH] use smp_mb/wmb/rmb where possible
Replace a number of memory barriers with smp_ variants.  This means we won't
take the unnecessary hit on UP machines.

akpm@osdl.org de7d5a3b6c [PATCH] drop_buffers() oops fix
In rare situations, drop_buffers() can be called for a page which has buffers,
but no ->mapping (it was truncated, but the buffers were left behind because
ext3 was still fiddling with them).

But if there was an I/O error in a buffer_head, drop_buffers() will try to get
at the address_space and will oops.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
