Ralf Baechle 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.

David S. Miller c65f7f00c5 [TCP]: Simplify SKB data portion allocation with NETIF_F_SG.
The ideal and most optimal layout for an SKB when doing
scatter-gather is to put all the headers at skb->data, and
all the user data in the page array.

This makes SKB splitting and combining extremely simple,
especially before a packet goes onto the wire the first
time.

So, when sk_stream_alloc_pskb() is given a zero size, make
sure there is no skb_tailroom().  This is achieved by applying
SKB_DATA_ALIGN() to the header length used here.

Next, make select_size() in TCP output segmentation use a
length of zero when NETIF_F_SG is true on the outgoing
interface.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 60236fdd08 [NET] Rename open_request to request_sock
Ok, this one just renames some stuff to have a better namespace and to
dissassociate it from TCP:

struct open_request  -> struct request_sock
tcp_openreq_alloc    -> reqsk_alloc
tcp_openreq_free     -> reqsk_free
tcp_openreq_fastfree -> __reqsk_free

With this most of the infrastructure closely resembles a struct
sock methods subset.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 2e6599cb89 [NET] Generalise TCP's struct open_request minisock infrastructure
Kept this first changeset minimal, without changing existing names to
ease peer review.

Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn
has two new members:

->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep
->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for
  a specific protocol

The protocol specific fields in struct open_request were moved to a
class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection
oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones
in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an
open_request.

I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class
hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the
open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an
or_calltable.

Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per
open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-)

Next changeset will rename some of the structs, fields and functions
mentioned above, struct or_calltable is way unclear, better name it
struct request_sock_ops, s/struct open_request/struct request_sock/g,
etc.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 476e19cfa1 [IPV6]: Fix OOPS when using IPV6_ADDRFORM
This causes sk->sk_prot to change, which makes the socket
release free the sock into the wrong SLAB cache.  Fix this
by introducing sk_prot_creator so that we always remember
where the sock came from.

Pavel Pisa 4dc3b16ba1 [PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentation
I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
university students again.  The documentation could be extended for more
sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels.  I
have tried to proceed with that task.  I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again.  Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets.  I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
 So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.

I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention.  Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors.  Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.

You can see result of the modified documentation build at
  http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz

Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
documentation.  Sources has been added into kernel-api for now.  Some more
section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
cleanup work.

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!
