YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明 6752c8db8e firewire net, ipv4 arp: Extend hardware address and remove driver-level packet inspection.
Inspection of upper layer protocol is considered harmful, especially
if it is about ARP or other stateful upper layer protocol; driver
cannot (and should not) have full state of them.

IPv4 over Firewire module used to inspect ARP (both in sending path
and in receiving path), and record peer's GUID, max packet size, max
speed and fifo address.  This patch removes such inspection by extending
our "hardware address" definition to include other information as well:
max packet size, max speed and fifo.  By doing this, The neighbour
module in networking subsystem can cache them.

Note: As we have started ignoring sspd and max_rec in ARP/NDP, those
      information will not be used in the driver when sending.

When a packet is being sent, the IP layer fills our pseudo header with
the extended "hardware address", including GUID and fifo.  The driver
can look-up node-id (the real but rather volatile low-level address)
by GUID, and then the module can send the packet to the wire using
parameters provided in the extendedn hardware address.

This approach is realistic because IP over IEEE1394 (RFC2734) and IPv6
over IEEE1394 (RFC3146) share same "hardware address" format
in their address resolution protocols.

Here, extended "hardware address" is defined as follows:

union fwnet_hwaddr {
	u8 u[16];
	struct {
		__be64 uniq_id;		/* EUI-64			*/
		u8 max_rec;		/* max packet size		*/
		u8 sspd;		/* max speed			*/
		__be16 fifo_hi;		/* hi 16bits of FIFO addr	*/
		__be32 fifo_lo;		/* lo 32bits of FIFO addr	*/
	} __packed uc;
};

Note that Hardware address is declared as union, so that we can map full
IP address into this, when implementing MCAP (Multicast Cannel Allocation
Protocol) for IPv6, but IP and ARP subsystem do not need to know this
format in detail.

One difference between original ARP (RFC826) and 1394 ARP (RFC2734)
is that 1394 ARP Request/Reply do not contain the target hardware address
field (aka ar$tha).  This difference is handled in the ARP subsystem.

stephen hemminger 37c106d0a4 if: restore token ring ARP type to header
Recent removal of Token Ring breaks the build of iproute2.

Even though Token Ring support is gone from the kernel, it is worth
keeping the the definition of the TR ARP type to avoid breaking
userspace programs that use this file.

Paul Gortmaker 211ed86510 net: delete all instances of special processing for token ring
We are going to delete the Token ring support.  This removes any
special processing in the core networking for token ring, (aside
from net/tr.c itself), leaving the drivers and remaining tokenring
support present but inert.

The mass removal of the drivers and net/tr.c will be in a separate
commit, so that the history of these files that we still care
about won't have the giant deletion tied into their history.

Pavel Emelyanov 988b705077 [ARP]: Introduce the arp_hdr_len helper.
There are some place, that calculate the ARP header length. These
calculations are correct, but 
 a) some operate with "magic" constants,
 b) enlarge the code length (sometimes at the cost of coding style),
 c) are not informative from the first glance.

The proposal is to introduce a helper, that includes all the good
sides of these calculations.

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!
