Use proc_create()/proc_create_data() to make sure that -&gt;proc_fops and -&gt;data
be setup before gluing PDE to main tree.

Add correct -&gt;owner to proc_fops to fix reading/module unloading race.

Handling of the proc_dir_entry-&gt;count was changed in 2.6.24-rc5.
After this change, the default value for pde-&gt;count is 1 and not 0 as
before.  Therefore, if we want to check whether our procfs file is
already opened (already in use), we have to check if pde-&gt;count is
greater than 2 rather than 1.

<title>Slab API: remove useless ctor parameter and reorder parameters</title>

<content type='text'>
Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used.  And
the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions.  The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.

Convert

        ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)

to

        ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)

throughout the kernel

<title>mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().</title>

<id>20c2df83d25c6a95affe6157a4c9cac4cf5ffaac</id>
<content type='text'>
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file &gt;/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
