Herbert Xu b421995235 [PKT_SCHED]: Add stateless NAT
Stateless NAT is useful in controlled environments where restrictions are
placed on through traffic such that we don't need connection tracking to
correctly NAT protocol-specific data.

In particular, this is of interest when the number of flows or the number
of addresses being NATed is large, or if connection tracking information
has to be replicated and where it is not practical to do so.

Previously we had stateless NAT functionality which was integrated into
the IPv4 routing subsystem.  This was a great solution as long as the NAT
worked on a subnet to subnet basis such that the number of NAT rules was
relatively small.  The reason is that for SNAT the routing based system
had to perform a linear scan through the rules.

If the number of rules is large then major renovations would have take
place in the routing subsystem to make this practical.

For the time being, the least intrusive way of achieving this is to use
the u32 classifier written by Alexey Kuznetsov along with the actions
infrastructure implemented by Jamal Hadi Salim.

The following patch is an attempt at this problem by creating a new nat
action that can be invoked from u32 hash tables which would allow large
number of stateless NAT rules that can be used/updated in constant time.

The actual NAT code is mostly based on the previous stateless NAT code
written by Alexey.  In future we might be able to utilise the protocol
NAT code from netfilter to improve support for other protocols.

Patrick McHardy c3bc7cff8f [NET_SCHED]: Kill CONFIG_NET_CLS_POLICE
The NET_CLS_ACT option is now a full replacement for NET_CLS_POLICE,
remove the old code. The config option will be kept around to select
the equivalent NET_CLS_ACT options for a short time to allow easier
upgrades.

David Kimdon 3c62f75aac [PKT_SCHED]: Make sch_fifo.o available when CONFIG_NET_SCHED is not set.
Based on patch by Patrick McHardy.

Add a new option, NET_SCH_FIFO, which provides a simple fifo qdisc
without requiring CONFIG_NET_SCHED.

The d80211 stack needs a generic fifo qdisc for WME.  At present it
uses net/d80211/fifo_qdisc.c which is functionally equivalent to
sch_fifo.c.  This patch will allow the d80211 stack to remove
net/d80211/fifo_qdisc.c and use sch_fifo.c instead.

Thomas Graf 63d886c96b [PKT_SCHED]: Blackhole queueing discipline
Useful in combination with classful qdiscs to drop or
temporary disable certain flows, e.g. one could block
specific ds flows with dsmark.

Unlike the noop qdisc it can be controlled by the user and
statistic accounting is done.

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!
