Al Viro 0e11c91e1e [AF_PACKET]: annotate
Weirdness: the third argument of socket() is net-endian
here.  Oh, well - it's documented in packet(7).

Dmitry Mishin fda9ef5d67 [NET]: Fix sk->sk_filter field access
Function sk_filter() is called from tcp_v{4,6}_rcv() functions with arg
needlock = 0, while socket is not locked at that moment. In order to avoid
this and similar issues in the future, use rcu for sk->sk_filter field read
protection.

Patrick McHardy 84fa7933a3 [NET]: Replace CHECKSUM_HW by CHECKSUM_PARTIAL/CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
Replace CHECKSUM_HW by CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (for outgoing packets, whose
checksum still needs to be completed) and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE (for
incoming packets, device supplied full checksum).

Patch originally from Herbert Xu, updated by myself for 2.6.18-rc3.

Non-linear skbs are truncated to their linear part with mmaped IO.

Christoph Hellwig b5e5fa5e09 [NET]: Add a dev_ioctl() fallback to sock_ioctl()
Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default
fallback in their ioctl implementations.  This patch adds a fallback
to dev_ioctl to sock_ioctl if the protocol returned -ENOIOCTLCMD.
This way all the procotol ioctl handlers can be simplified and we don't
need to export dev_ioctl.

Eric Dumazet 90ddc4f047 [NET]: move struct proto_ops to const
I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)

This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.

This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)

I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.

This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.

Herbert Xu 325ed82393 [NET]: Fix packet timestamping.
I've found the problem in general.  It affects any 64-bit
architecture.  The problem occurs when you change the system time.

Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day.
This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base.  You then wind the clock back
by a day.  From that point onwards the offset will be negative which
essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in.

In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit
variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while
yet.

When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.

Eric W. Biederman 0fb375fb9b [AF_PACKET]: Allow for > 8 byte hardware addresses.
The convention is that longer addresses will simply extend
the hardeware address byte arrays at the end of sockaddr_ll and
packet_mreq.

In making this change a small information leak was also closed.
The code only initializes the hardware address bytes that are
used, but all of struct sockaddr_ll was copied to userspace.
Now we just copy sockaddr_ll to the last byte of the hardware
address used.

For error checking larger structures than our internal
maximums continue to be allowed but an error is signaled if we can
not fit the hardware address into our internal structure.

Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond()
decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original

exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well.

Sam Ravnborg 6a2e9b738c [NET]: move config options out to individual protocols
Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols.
With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a
good basis for further re-structuring.

The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is
fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several
"depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair.

Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are
small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed
out where they belongs.

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!
