Pavel Emelyanov b14f243a42 net: Dont use ifindices in hash fns
Eric noticed, that when there will be devices with equal indices, some
hash functions that use them will become less effective as they could.
Fix this in advance by mixing the net_device address into the hash value
instead of the device index.

This is true for arp and ndisc hash fns. The netlabel, can and llc ones
are also ifindex-based, but that three are init_net-only, thus will not
be affected.

Many thanks to David and Eric for the hash32_ptr implementation!

David S. Miller 0bb4087cbe ipv4: Fix neigh lookup keying over loopback/point-to-point devices.
We were using a special key "0" for all loopback and point-to-point
device neigh lookups under ipv4, but we wouldn't use that special
key for the neigh creation.

So basically we'd make a new neigh at each and every lookup :-)

This special case to use only one neigh for these device types
is of dubious value, so just remove it entirely.

Do not use the dst cached neigh, we'll be getting rid of that.

David S. Miller 2c2aba6c56 ipv6: Use universal hash for NDISC.
In order to perform a proper universal hash on a vector of integers,
we have to use different universal hashes on each vector element.

Which means we need 4 different hash randoms for ipv6.

David S. Miller d3aaeb38c4 net: Add ->neigh_lookup() operation to dst_ops
In the future dst entries will be neigh-less.  In that environment we
need to have an easy transition point for current users of
dst->neighbour outside of the packet output fast path.

David Miller 3769cffb1c ipv4: Inline neigh binding.
Get rid of all of the useless and costly indirection
by doing the neigh hash table lookup directly inside
of the neighbour binding.

Rename from arp_bind_neighbour to rt_bind_neighbour.

Use new helpers {__,}ipv4_neigh_lookup()

In rt_bind_neighbour() get rid of useless tests which
are never true in the context this function is called,
namely dev is never NULL and the dst->neighbour is
always NULL.

Maxim Levitsky 545ecdc3b3 arp: allow to invalidate specific ARP entries
IPv4 over firewire needs to be able to remove ARP entries
from the ARP cache that belong to nodes that are removed, because
IPv4 over firewire uses ARP packets for private information
about nodes.

This information becomes invalid as soon as node drops
off the bus and when it reconnects, its only possible
to start talking to it after it responded to an ARP packet.
But ARP cache prevents such packets from being sent.

there's no ways to get the net right in place, so we have to

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!
