da7071d7e3 [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 8
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.

a4282717c1 [AX.25]: Fix unchecked ax25_linkfail_register uses
ax25_linkfail_register uses kmalloc and the callers were ignoring the
error value.  Rewrite to let the caller deal with the allocation.  This
allows the use of static allocation of kmalloc use entirely.

Replace ax25_protocol_register by ax25_register_pid which assumes the
caller has done the memory allocation.  This allows replacing the
kmalloc allocations entirely by static allocations.

4b260a98f1 [NETROM] lockdep: fix false positive
NETROM network devices are virtual network devices encapsulating NETROM
frames into AX.25 which will be sent through an AX.25 device, so form a
special "super class" of normal net devices; split their locks off into a
separate class since they always nest.

5cc29e3bea [NETROM]: Fix locking order when establishing a NETROM circuit.
When establishing a new circuit in nr_rx_frame the locks are taken in
a different order than in the rest of the stack.  This should be
harmless but triggers lockdep.  Either way, reordering the code a
little solves the issue.

b5e5fa5e09 [NET]: Add a dev_ioctl() fallback to sock_ioctl()
Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default
fallback in their ioctl implementations.  This patch adds a fallback
to dev_ioctl to sock_ioctl if the protocol returned -ENOIOCTLCMD.
This way all the procotol ioctl handlers can be simplified and we don't
need to export dev_ioctl.

90ddc4f047 [NET]: move struct proto_ops to const
I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)

This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.

This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)

I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.

This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.

e21ce8c7c0 [NETROM]: Implement G8PZT Circuit reset for NET/ROM
NET/ROM is lacking a connection reset like TCP's RST flag which at times
may result in a connecting having to slowly timing out instead of just being
reset.  An earlier attempt to reset the connection by sending a
NR_CONNACK | NR_CHOKE_FLAG transport was inacceptable as it did result in
crashes of BPQ systems.  An alternative approach of introducing a new
transport type 7 (NR_RESET) has be implemented several years ago in
Paula Jayne Dowie G8PZT's Xrouter.

Implement NR_RESET for Linux's NET/ROM but like any messing with the state
engine consider this experimental for now and thus control it by a sysctl
(net.netrom.reset) which for the time being defaults to off.

Get rid of the calls to ip_rcv and arp_rcv which were layering
violations anyway.  With those being replaced by netif_rx, less parts
of AX.25 and relatives depend on INET support actually being enabled.
This also will make PF_PACKET sockets work for IP and ARP packets
received over AX.25 and for IP packets over NET/ROM.

01d7dd0e9f [AX25]: UID fixes
o Brown paperbag bug - ax25_findbyuid() was always returning a NULL pointer
   as the result.  Breaks ROSE completly and AX.25 if UID policy set to deny.

 o While the list structure of AX.25's UID to callsign mapping table was
   properly protected by a spinlock, it's elements were not refcounted
   resulting in a race between removal and usage of an element.

53b924b31f [NET]: Fix socket bitop damage
The socket flag cleanups that went into 2.6.12-rc1 are basically oring
the flags of an old socket into the socket just being created.
Unfortunately that one was just initialized by sock_init_data(), so already
has SOCK_ZAPPED set.  As the result zapped sockets are created and all
incoming connection will fail due to this bug which again was carefully
replicated to at least AX.25, NET/ROM or ROSE.

In order to keep the abstraction alive I've introduced sock_copy_flags()
to copy the socket flags from one sockets to another and used that
instead of the bitwise copy thing.  Anyway, the idea here has probably
been to copy all flags, so sock_copy_flags() should be the right thing.
With this the ham radio protocols are usable again, so I hope this will
make it into 2.6.13.

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!
