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.

Stephen Hemminger 6f1cf16582 [NET]: Remove HIPPI private from skbuff.h
This removes the private element from skbuff, that is only used by
HIPPI. Instead it uses skb->cb[] to hold the additional data that is
needed in the output path from hard_header to device driver.

PS: The only qdisc that might potentially corrupt this cb[] is if
netem was used over HIPPI. I will take care of that by fixing netem
to use skb->stamp. I don't expect many users of netem over HIPPI

David S. Miller 8728b834b2 [NET]: Kill skb->list
Remove the "list" member of struct sk_buff, as it is entirely
redundant.  All SKB list removal callers know which list the
SKB is on, so storing this in sk_buff does nothing other than
taking up some space.

Two tricky bits were SCTP, which I took care of, and two ATM
drivers which Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> fixed
up.

Harald Welte 6869c4d8e0 [NETFILTER]: reduce netfilter sk_buff enlargement
As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff.
The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller.  I did some basic
testing on my notebook and it seems to work.

The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a
single bit.  Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in
sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for
them.  Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space.

Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and
alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code
overloads pkt_type :(

The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just
came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe
to remove it.

- remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
- don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own
  compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field.  IPVS maintainers can
  decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die.
- remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes
- move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes

Thomas Graf 677e90eda3 [NET]: Zerocopy sequential reading of skb data
Implements sequential reading for both linear and non-linear
skb data at zerocopy cost. The data is returned in chunks of
arbitary length, therefore random access is not possible.

Usage:
	from	 := 0
	to	 := 128
	state	 := undef
	data	 := undef
	len	 := undef
	consumed := 0

	skb_prepare_seq_read(skb, from, to, &state)
	while (len = skb_seq_read(consumed, &data, &state)) != 0 do
		/* do something with 'data' of length 'len' */
		if abort then
			/* abort read if we don't wait for
			 * skb_seq_read() to return 0 */
			skb_abort_seq_read(&state)
			return
		endif
		/* not necessary to consume all of 'len' */
		consumed += len
	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!
