2006-01-10	[PATCH] move xattr permission checks into the VFS	akpm@osdl.org
	) From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> The xattr code has rather complex permission checks because the rules are very different for different attribute namespaces. This patch moves as much as we can into the generic code. Currently all the major disk based filesystems duplicate these checks, while many minor filesystems or network filesystems lack some or all of them. To do this we need defines for the extended attribute names in common code, I moved them up from JFS which had the nicest defintions.

2005-09-01	JFS: Implement jfs_init_security	Dave Kleikamp
	This atomically initializes the security xattr when an object is created Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@austin.ibm.com>
2005-09-01	JFS: allow extended attributes to be set within a existing transaction	Dave Kleikamp
	Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@austin.ibm.com>
2005-07-13	JFS: Need to be root to create files with security context	Ian Dall
	It turns out this is due to some inverted logic in xattr.c Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@austin.ibm.com>
2005-07-13	JFS: Allow security.* xattrs to be set on symlinks	Dave Kleikamp
	All of the different xattr namespaces have different rules. user.* and ACL's are not allowed on symlinks, and since these were the first xattrs implemented, I assumed there was no need to support xattrs on symlinks. This one-line patch should fix it. Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@austin.ibm.com>

2005-05-09	JFS: Remove redundant kfree() NULL pointer checks	Jesper Juhl
	kfree() can handle a NULL pointer, don't worry about passing it one. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <juhl-lkml@dif.dk> Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@austin.ibm.com>
2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-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!
