Patrick McHardy c17d8874f9 [VLAN]: Convert name-based configuration functions to struct netdevice *
Move the device lookup and checks to the ioctl handler under the RTNL and
change all name-based interfaces to take a struct net_device * instead.

This allows to use them from a netlink interface, which identifies devices
based on ifindex not name. It also avoids races between the ioctl interface
and the (upcoming) netlink interface since now all changes happen under the
RTNL.

As a nice side effect this greatly simplifies error handling in the helper
functions and fixes a number of incorrect error codes like -EINVAL for
device not found.

David S. Miller f2ccd8fa06 [NET]: Kill skb->real_dev
Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond()
decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original
device into packet_type->func() as an argument.

It remains to be seen whether we can use this same
exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well.

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!
