3bd858ab1c Introduce is_owner_or_cap() to wrap CAP_FOWNER use with fsuid check
Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant
users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future
where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a
file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as
well, thus violating its semantics.
[ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ...
untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ]

The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and
exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are
covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations
falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

52b499c438 [PATCH] BLOCK: Move the ReiserFS device ioctl compat stuff to the ReiserFS driver [try #6]
Move the ReiserFS device ioctl compat stuff from fs/compat_ioctl.c to the
ReiserFS driver so that the ReiserFS header file doesn't need to be included.

1b1dcc1b57 [PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_sem
This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.

bd4c625c06 reiserfs: run scripts/Lindent on reiserfs code
This was a pure indentation change, using:

	scripts/Lindent fs/reiserfs/*.c include/linux/reiserfs_*.h

to make reiserfs match the regular Linux indentation style.  As Jeff
Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> writes:

 The ReiserFS code is a mix of a number of different coding styles, sometimes
 different even from line-to-line. Since the code has been relatively stable
 for quite some time and there are few outstanding patches to be applied, it
 is time to reformat the code to conform to the Linux style standard outlined
 in Documentation/CodingStyle.

 This patch contains the result of running scripts/Lindent against
 fs/reiserfs/*.c and include/linux/reiserfs_*.h. There are places where the
 code can be made to look better, but I'd rather keep those patches separate
 so that there isn't a subtle by-hand hand accident in the middle of a huge
 patch. To be clear: This patch is reformatting *only*.

 A number of patches may follow that continue to make the code more consistent
 with the Linux coding style.

 Hans wasn't particularly enthusiastic about these patches, but said he
 wouldn't really oppose them either.

869eb76e7b [PATCH] reiserfs: Check if attrs are enabled for attr ioctls
ReiserFS currently will allow the user to set/get attrs for files
regardless if they are enabled.  The patch checks to see if they are
enabled, and returns -NOTTY if they are not.

ext[23] doesn't need this check because attrs are always enabled.

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!
