Cyrill Gorcunov 7a95d267fb net: ppp_generic - use idr technique instead of cardmaps
Use idr technique instead of own implemented cardmaps.
It saves us a number of lines and gives an ability
to use library functions.

Stephen Hemminger 008298231a netdev: add more functions to netdevice ops
This patch moves neigh_setup and hard_start_xmit into the network device ops
structure. For bisection, fix all the previously converted drivers as well.
Bonding driver took the biggest hit on this.

Added a prefetch of the hard_start_xmit in the fast path to try and reduce
any impact this would have.

David S. Miller babcda74e9 drivers/net: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores.
The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

Drivers need not do it any more.

Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves.

Herbert Xu cbb042f9e1 [NET]: Replace skb_pull/skb_postpull_rcsum with skb_pull_rcsum
We're now starting to have quite a number of places that do skb_pull
followed immediately by an skb_postpull_rcsum.  We can merge these two
operations into one function with skb_pull_rcsum.  This makes sense
since most pull operations on receive skb's need to update the
checksum.

I've decided to make this out-of-line since it is fairly big and the
fast path where hardware checksums are enabled need to call
csum_partial anyway.

Since this is a brand new function we get to add an extra check on the
len argument.  As it is most callers of skb_pull ignore its return
value which essentially means that there is no check on the len
argument.

Matt Domsch b3f9b92a6e [PPP]: add PPP MPPE encryption module
From: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>

The patch below implements the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption method
as a PPP compressor/decompressor.  This is necessary for Linux clients and
servers to interoperate with Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP) servers (either Microsoft PPTP servers or the poptop project) which
use MPPE to encrypt data when creating a VPN.

This patch differs from the kernel_ppp_mppe DKMS pacakge at
pptpclient.sourceforge.net by utilizing the kernel crypto routines rather
than providing its own SHA1 and arcfour implementations.

Minor changes to ppp_generic.c try to prevent a link from disabling
compression (in our case, the encryption) after it has started using
compression (encryption).

Feedback to <pptpclient-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> please.

Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is

uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

Paul Mackerras 516cd15f1c [PATCH] PPP multilink fragmentation improvements
Here's a patch for -mm for now.  Not sure whose territory this falls
  in, so I'm sending it to everyone I can think of. :)
  
  Some time ago I did some experiments with using PPP multilink over
  largish numbers of channels (up to 32).  The TCP performance was
  woeful due to wildly fluctuating packet latencies, which turned out to
  be because we would sometimes split a packet across all 32 channels,
  and sometimes we would send a whole packet down a single channel.
  
  This patch fixes those problems by being a bit cleverer about how the
  packets are split across the available channels, and in particular, it
  waits until at least half of the channels can take another fragment
  before starting to split up the next packet.
  
  The patch also fixes a buglet in the multilink reconstruction code
  where it would discard incoming packets that had just the multilink
  header and no data.  Such packets are valid and shouldn't be
  discarded.

Jesper Juhl 96edf83c4e [PPP]: remove redundant NULL pointer checks before kfree & vfree
kfree() and vfree() can both deal with NULL pointers. This patch removes 
redundant NULL pointer checks from the ppp code in drivers/net/

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!
