Stephen Hemminger 98486fa2f4 [BRIDGE]: Missing rtnl.
Writing to /sys/class/net/brX/bridge/stp_state causes a warning because
RTNL is not held when call br_stp_if.c

Stephen Hemminger 9cde070874 bridge: add support for user mode STP
This patchset based on work by Aji_Srinivas@emc.com provides allows
spanning tree to be controled from userspace.  Like hotplug, it
uses call_usermodehelper when spanning tree is enabled so there
is no visible API change. If call to start usermode STP fails
it falls back to existing kernel STP.

Stephen Hemminger 9cf637473c bridge: add sysfs hook to flush forwarding table
The RSTP daemon needs to be able to flush all dynamic forwarding
entries in the case of topology change.

This is a temporary interface. It will change to a netlink interface
before RSTP daemon is officially released.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 43cb76d91e Network: convert network devices to use struct device instead of class_device
This lets the network core have the ability to handle suspend/resume
issues, if it wants to.

Thanks to Frederik Deweerdt <frederik.deweerdt@gmail.com> for the arm
driver fixes.

Stephen Hemminger fda93d92d7 [BRIDGE]: allow show/store of group multicast address
Bridge's communicate with each other using Spanning Tree Protocol
over a standard multicast address. There are times when testing or
layering bridges over existing topologies or tunnels, when it is
useful to use alternative multicast addresses for STP packets.

The 802.1d standard has some unused addresses, that can be used for this.
This patch is restrictive in that it only allows one of the possible
addresses in the standard.

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!
