Alan Cox 715b49ef2d [PATCH] EDAC: atomic scrub operations
EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset
does not do the work automatically.  That means rewriting memory locations
atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters.  That means we can't
use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP

This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently
supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block.

It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included
before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32.

Patrick McHardy b59c270104 [NETFILTER]: Keep conntrack reference until IPsec policy checks are done
Keep the conntrack reference until policy checks have been performed for
IPsec NAT support. The reference needs to be dropped before a packet is
queued to avoid having the conntrack module unloadable.

Mark J Cox 6d1cfe3f17 [PATCH] raw_sendmsg DoS on 2.6
Fix unchecked __get_user that could be tricked into generating a
memory read on an arbitrary address.  The result of the read is not
returned directly but you may be able to divine some information about
it, or use the read to cause a crash on some architectures by reading
hardware state.  CAN-2004-2492.

Fix from Al Viro, ack from Dave Miller.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c752f0739f [TCP]: Move the tcp sock states to net/tcp_states.h
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.

Jesper Juhl f7d7fc0322 [IPV4]: [4/4] signed vs unsigned cleanup in net/ipv4/raw.c
This patch changes the type of the third parameter 'length' of the 
raw_send_hdrinc() function from 'int' to 'size_t'.
This makes sense since this function is only ever called from one 
location, and the value passed as the third parameter in that location is 
itself of type size_t, so this makes the recieving functions parameter 
type match. Also, inside raw_send_hdrinc() the 'length' variable is 
used in comparisons with unsigned values and passed as parameter to 
functions expecting unsigned values (it's used in a single comparison with 
a signed value, but that one can never actually be negative so the patch 
also casts that one to size_t to stop gcc worrying, and it is passed in a 
single instance to memcpy_fromiovecend() which expects a signed int, but 
as far as I can see that's not a problem since the value of 'length' 
shouldn't ever exceed the value of a signed int).

Jesper Juhl 93765d8a43 [IPV4]: [3/4] signed vs unsigned cleanup in net/ipv4/raw.c
This patch changes the type of the local variable 'i' in 
raw_probe_proto_opt() from 'int' to 'unsigned int'. The only use of 'i' in 
this function is as a counter in a for() loop and subsequent index into 
the msg->msg_iov[] array.
Since 'i' is compared in a loop to the unsigned variable msg->msg_iovlen 
gcc -W generates this warning : 

net/ipv4/raw.c:340: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned

Changing 'i' to unsigned silences this warning and is safe since the array 
index can never be negative anyway, so unsigned int is the logical type to 
use for 'i' and also enables a larger msg_iov[] array (but I don't know if 
that will ever matter).

Jesper Juhl 926d4b8122 [IPV4]: [2/4] signed vs unsigned cleanup in net/ipv4/raw.c
This patch gets rid of the following gcc -W warning in net/ipv4/raw.c :

net/ipv4/raw.c:387: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false

Since 'len' is of type size_t it is unsigned and can thus never be <0, and 
since this is obvious from the function declaration just a few lines above 
I think it's ok to remove the pointless check for len<0.

Jesper Juhl 5418c6926f [IPV4]: [1/4] signed vs unsigned cleanup in net/ipv4/raw.c
This patch silences these two gcc -W warnings in net/ipv4/raw.c :

net/ipv4/raw.c:517: warning: signed and unsigned type in conditional expression
net/ipv4/raw.c:613: warning: signed and unsigned type in conditional expression

It doesn't change the behaviour of the code, simply writes the conditional 
expression with plain 'if()' syntax instead of '? :' , but since this 
breaks it into sepperate statements gcc no longer complains about having 
both a signed and unsigned value in the same conditional expression.

Herbert Xu e0f9f8586a [IPV4/IPV6]: Replace spin_lock_irq with spin_lock_bh
In light of my recent patch to net/ipv4/udp.c that replaced the
spin_lock_irq calls on the receive queue lock with spin_lock_bh,
here is a similar patch for all other occurences of spin_lock_irq
on receive/error queue locks in IPv4 and IPv6.

In these stacks, we know that they can only be entered from user
or softirq context.  Therefore it's safe to disable BH only.

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!
