Arjan van de Ven 9a32144e9d [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 7
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.

Eric Dumazet 0c195c3fc4 [DECNET]: Convert decnet route to use the new dst_entry 'next' pointer
This patch removes the next pointer from 'struct dn_route.u' union,
and renames u.rt_next to u.dst.dn_next.

It also moves 'struct flowi' right after 'struct dst_entry' to prepare
speedup lookups.

Thomas Graf 47dcf0cb10 [NET]: Rethink mark field in struct flowi
Now that all protocols have been made aware of the mark
field it can be moved out of the union thus simplyfing
its usage.

The config options in the IPv4/IPv6/DECnet subsystems
to enable respectively disable mark based routing only
obfuscate the code with ifdefs, the cost for the
additional comparison in the flow key is insignificant,
and most distributions have all these options enabled
by default anyway. Therefore it makes sense to remove
the config options and enable mark based routing by
default.

Steven Whitehouse 3a31b9d2f2 [DECNET]: Fix input routing bug
This patch fixes a silly bug that has been in the input routing code
for some time. It results in trying to send to a node directly when
the origin of the packet is via the default router.

Its been tested by Alan Kemmerer <alan.kemmerer@mittalsteel.com> who
reported the bug and its a fairly obvious fix for a typo.

Patrick McHardy 9e762a4a89 [NET]: Introduce RTA_TABLE/FRA_TABLE attributes
Introduce RTA_TABLE route attribute and FRA_TABLE routing rule attribute
to hold 32 bit routing table IDs. Usespace compatibility is provided by
continuing to accept and send the rtm_table field, but because of its
limited size it can only carry the low 8 bits of the table ID. This
implies that if larger IDs are used, _all_ userspace programs using them
need to use RTA_TABLE.

Herbert Xu 364c6badde [NET]: Clean up skb_linearize
The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised.  So we can
replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but
is more general.

Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear
or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that.

Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's
useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's
either non-linear or cloned.

Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it
anymore.  If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

Misc bugs fixed by this patch:

* via-velocity error handling (also, no SG => no frags)

Steven Whitehouse c4ea94ab37 [DECnet]: Endian annotation and fixes for DECnet.
The typedef for dn_address has been removed in favour of using __le16
or __u16 directly as appropriate. All the DECnet header files are
updated accordingly.

The byte ordering of dn_eth2dn() and dn_dn2eth() are both changed
since just about all their callers wanted network order rather than
host order, so the conversion is now done in the functions themselves.

Several missed endianess conversions have been picked up during the
conversion process. The nh_gw field in struct dn_fib_info has been
changed from a 32 bit field to 16 bits as it ought to be.

One or two cases of using htons rather than dn_htons in the routing
code have been found and fixed.

There are still a few warnings to fix, but this patch deals with the
important cases.

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!
