Stephen Hemminger 51b0bdedb8 [NET]: Separate two usages of netdev_max_backlog.
Separate out the two uses of netdev_max_backlog. One controls the
upper bound on packets processed per softirq, the new name for this is
netdev_budget; the other controls the limit on packets queued via
netif_rx.

Increase the max_backlog default to account for faster processors.

Stephen Hemminger 34008d8c63 [NET]: Remove obsolete netif_rx congestion sensing mechanism.
Remove the congestion sensing mechanism from netif_rx, and always
return either full or empty.  Almost no driver checks the return value
from netif_rx, and those that do only use it for debug messages.

The original design of netif_rx was to do flow control based on the
receive queue, but NAPI has supplanted this and no driver uses the
feedback.

Paulo Marques 543537bd92 [PATCH] create a kstrdup library function
This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local"
implementations in several places to use this function.

Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems.  The sound part
had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S.
Miller.

I left UML alone for now because I would need more time to read the code
carefully before making changes there.

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!
