Stephen Hemminger 3b04ddde02 [NET]: Move hardware header operations out of netdevice.
Since hardware header operations are part of the protocol class
not the device instance, make them into a separate object and
save memory.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 459a98ed88 [SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_mac_header(skb)
For the common, open coded 'skb->mac.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can
later turn skb->mac.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in
64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.

This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more
"complex" cases.

Arjan van de Ven 540473208f [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 1
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Ralf Baechle a4282717c1 [AX.25]: Fix unchecked ax25_linkfail_register uses
ax25_linkfail_register uses kmalloc and the callers were ignoring the
error value.  Rewrite to let the caller deal with the allocation.  This
allows the use of static allocation of kmalloc use entirely.

Ralf Baechle 8d5cf596d1 [AX.25]: Fix unchecked ax25_protocol_register uses.
Replace ax25_protocol_register by ax25_register_pid which assumes the
caller has done the memory allocation.  This allows replacing the
kmalloc allocations entirely by static allocations.

Ralf Baechle c9266b99e2 [AX.25]: Mark all kmalloc users __must_check
The recent fix 0506d4068b made obvious that
error values were not being propagated through the AX.25 stack.  To help
with that this patch marks all kmalloc users in the AX.25, NETROM and
ROSE stacks as __must_check.

Ralf Baechle 15b1c0e822 [AX.25]: Fix default address and broadcast address initialization.
Only the callsign but not the SSID part of an AX.25 address is ASCII
based but Linux by initializes the SSID which should be just a 4-bit
number from ASCII anyway.

Fix that and convert the code to use a shared constant for both default
addresses.  While at it, use the same style for null_ax25_address also.

Ralf Baechle DL5RB c7c694d196 [AX.25]: Fix potencial memory hole.
If the AX.25 dialect chosen by the sysadmin is set to DAMA master / 3
(or DAMA slave / 2, if CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE=n) ax25_kick() will fall
through the switch statement without calling ax25_send_iframe() or any
other function that would eventually free skbn thus leaking the packet.

Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported
AX.25 dialects.

The system administration mistake needed for this to happen is rather
unlikely, so this is an uncritical hole.

Coverity #651.

 o While the list structure of AX.25's UID to callsign mapping table was

   resulting in a race between removal and usage of an element.

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!
