Zwane Mwaikambo	329d400f47	[PATCH] x86_64/i386: Remove preempt disable calls in lowlevel IPI ... I noticed that some lowlevel send_IPI_mask helpers had a hotplug/preempt race whereupon the cpu_online_map was read before disabling preemption; ... cpumask_t mask = cpu_online_map; int cpu = get_cpu(); cpu_clear(cpu, mask); ... But then i realised that there is no need for these lowlevel functions to be going through all this trouble when all the callers are already made hotplug/preempt safe.

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!	2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07:00
