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.

It also looks like there were 2 places where the test on sk_err was
missing from the event wait logic (in sk_stream_wait_connect and
sk_stream_wait_memory), while the rest of the sock_error() users look
to be doing the right thing. This version of the patch fixes those,
and cleans up a few places that were testing ->sk_err directly.

Noticed by Olaf Hering.
The comparisons want a u8 here (the data type on the left-hand branch
is a u8 structure member, and the constant on the right-hand branch is
"~((u8) 128)"), but C turns it into an integer so we get:
net/llc/llc_c_ac.c: In function `llc_conn_ac_inc_npta_value':
net/llc/llc_c_ac.c:998: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type
net/llc/llc_c_ac.c:999: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type
Fix this up by explicitly recasting the right-hand branch constant
into a "u8" once more.

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;
- replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

Borrowing the structure of TCP/IP for this. On the receive of new connections I
was bh_lock_socking the _new_ sock, not the listening one, duh, now it survives
the ssh connections storm I've been using to test this specific bug.
Also fixes send side skb sock accounting.

So as to set the newly created sk_buff ->dev member with it, that way we stop
using dev_base->next, that is the wrong thing to do, as there may well be
several interfaces being used with LLC. This was not such a big problem after
all as most of the users of llc_alloc_frame were setting the correct dev, but
this way code is reduced.
This also fixes another bug in llc_station_ac_send_null_dsap_xid_c, that was
not setting the skb->dev field.

Lots of places just needs the states, not even linux/tcp.h, where this
enum was, needs it.
This speeds up development of the refactorings as less sources are
rebuilt when things get moved from net/tcp.h.

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.

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.

This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen
member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the
'list' member of sk_buff.
Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is
empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty()
which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead
uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

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!
