2006-10-02	[PATCH] file: modify struct fown_struct to use a struct pid	Eric W. Biederman
	File handles can be requested to send sigio and sigurg to processes. By tracking the destination processes using struct pid instead of pid_t we make the interface safe from all potential pid wrap around problems. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-06-23	[NET]: Require CAP_NET_ADMIN to create tuntap devices.	David Woodhouse
	The tuntap driver allows an admin to create persistent devices and assign ownership of them to individual users. Unfortunately, relaxing the permissions on the /dev/net/tun device node so that they can actually use those devices will _also_ allow those users to create arbitrary new devices of their own. This patch corrects that, and adjusts the recommended permissions for the device node accordingly. Signed-off-By: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-03-11	[TUN]: Fix leak in tun_get_user()	Dave Jones
	We're leaking an skb in a failure path in this function. Coverity #632 Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-09-01	[TUNTAP]: Allow setting the linktype of the tap device from userspace	Mike Kershaw
	Currently tun/tap only supports the EN10MB ARP type. For use with wireless and other networking types it should be possible to set the ARP type via an ioctl. Patch v2: Included check that the tap interface is down before changing the link type out from underneath it Signed-off-by: Mike Kershaw <dragorn@kismetwireless.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-07-08	[NET]: Transform skb_queue_len() binary tests into skb_queue_empty()	David S. Miller
	This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the 'list' member of sk_buff. Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty() which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds
	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!
