* atomic_ops.txt has incorrect, misleading and insufficient information [Bug 9020]Matti Linnanvuori2007-10-171-5/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | atomic_ops.txt has incorrect, misleading and insufficient information about semantics of initializer, atomic_set, atomic_read and atomic_xchg. It also incorrectly implies that operations mentioned above are not actual atomic operations. Included is most of the patch Document non-semantics of atomic_read() and atomic_set() by Chris Snook, except the word "assignment".

* [PATCH] atomic: inc_not_zeroNick Piggin2005-11-131-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | Introduce an atomic_inc_not_zero operation. Make this a special case of atomic_add_unless because lockless pagecache actually wants atomic_inc_not_negativeone due to its offset refcount.

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!
