      [NET]: Detect hardware rx checksum faults correctly · fb286bb2
      Herbert Xu authored
      Here is the patch that introduces the generic skb_checksum_complete
      which also checks for hardware RX checksum faults.  If that happens,
      it'll call netdev_rx_csum_fault which currently prints out a stack
      trace with the device name.  In future it can turn off RX checksum.
      
      I've converted every spot under net/ that does RX checksum checks to
      use skb_checksum_complete or __skb_checksum_complete with the
      exceptions of:
      
      * Those places where checksums are done bit by bit.  These will call
      netdev_rx_csum_fault directly.
      
      * The following have not been completely checked/converted:
      
      ipmr
      ip_vs
      netfilter
      dccp
      
      This patch is based on patches and suggestions from Stephen Hemminger
      and David S. Miller.

      [IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnl · e5ed6399
      Herbert Xu authored
      The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
      introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.
      
      1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
      2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
      3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().
      
      There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
      race condition.  I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.
      
      This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
      Paul McKenney.

      [NETPOLL]: allow multiple netpoll_clients to register against one interface · fbeec2e1
      Jeff Moyer authored
      This patch provides support for registering multiple netpoll clients to the
      same network device.  Only one of these clients may register an rx_hook,
      however.  In practice, this restriction has not been problematic.  It is
      worth mentioning, though, that the current design can be easily extended to
      allow for the registration of multiple rx_hooks.
      
      The basic idea of the patch is that the rx_np pointer in the netpoll_info
      structure points to the struct netpoll that has rx_hook filled in.  Aside
      from this one case, there is no need for a pointer from the struct
      net_device to an individual struct netpoll.
      
      A lock is introduced to protect the setting and clearing of the np_rx
      pointer.  The pointer will only be cleared upon netpoll client module
      removal, and the lock should be uncontested.

      [NETPOLL]: Introduce a netpoll_info struct · 115c1d6e
      Jeff Moyer authored
      This patch introduces a netpoll_info structure, which the struct net_device
      will now point to instead of pointing to a struct netpoll.  The reason for
      this is two-fold: 1) fields such as the rx_flags, poll_owner, and poll_lock
      should be maintained per net_device, not per netpoll;  and 2) this is a first
      step in providing support for multiple netpoll clients to register against the
      same net_device.
      
      The struct netpoll is now pointed to by the netpoll_info structure.  As
      such, the previous behaviour of the code is preserved.

      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!
