This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only\nadding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any\nhunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts\nwill pick it up again in the next round.\n\nSigned-off-by: Tim Schmielau \u003ctim@physik3.uni-rostock.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "f36462f078403c1859a7e58177b28e01b3a179e4", "tree": "48cc5b800e8fb6701a18135e015ebe57b4f1be60", "parents": [ "e3306dd5f7eb2e699f36a4a313fca4b48b18d5e1" ], "author": { "name": "Rusty Russell", "email": "rusty@rustcorp.com.au", "time": "Tue Sep 27 21:45:34 2005 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Wed Sep 28 07:46:41 2005 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] Ignore trailing whitespace on kernel parameters correctly\n\nDave Jones says:\n\n... if the modprobe.conf has trailing whitespace, modules fail to load\nwith the following helpful message..\n\n\tsnd_intel8x0: Unknown parameter `\u0027\n\nPrevious version truncated last argument.\n\nSigned-off-by: Rusty Russell \u003crusty@rustcorp.com.au\u003e\nCc: Dave Jones \u003cdavej@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "dd3927105b6f65afb7dac17682172cdfb86d3f00", "tree": "5cf282aff500cad23b9d7e13dc19b2b2d31e1ce6", "parents": [ "640e803376b9c4072f69fec42e304c974a631298" ], "author": { "name": "Pekka J Enberg", "email": "penberg@cs.Helsinki.FI", "time": "Tue Sep 06 15:18:31 2005 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Wed Sep 07 16:57:45 2005 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] introduce and use kzalloc\n\nThis patch introduces a kzalloc wrapper and converts kernel/ to use it.
