We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain
'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct
sock.
This has some drawbacks :
- Fixed resolution of micro second.
- Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16
I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution
time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution.
As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits
a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other
structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in
ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...)
Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide
nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or
SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS)
Note : this patch includes a bug correction in
compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this
syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0)

Change net/core, ipv4 and ipv6 sysctl variables to __read_mostly.
Couldn't actually measure any performance increase while testing (.3%
I consider noise), but seems like the right thing to do.

Replace CHECKSUM_HW by CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (for outgoing packets, whose
checksum still needs to be completed) and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE (for
incoming packets, device supplied full checksum).
Patch originally from Herbert Xu, updated by myself for 2.6.18-rc3.

Otherwise we could compute an inaccurate hash due to the
random seed changing.
Noticed by Zach Brown and patch is based upon some feedback
from Herbert Xu.

Another spin of Herbert Xu's "safer ip reassembly" patch
for 2.6.16.
(The original patch is here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=112281936522415&w=2
and my only contribution is to have tested it.)
This patch (optionally) does additional checks before accepting IP
fragments, which can greatly reduce the possibility of reassembling
fragments which originated from different IP datagrams.

Both of ipq and frag_queue have *next and **prev, and they can be replaced
with hlist. Thanks Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo for the suggestion.

This was found by inspection while looking for checksum problems
with the skge driver that sets CHECKSUM_HW. It did not fix the
problem, but it looks like it is needed.
If IP reassembly is trimming an overlapping fragment, it
should reset (or adjust) the hardware checksum flag on the skb.

Here's a small patch to cleanup NETDEBUG() use in net/ipv4/ for Linux
kernel 2.6.13-rc5. Also weird use of indentation is changed in some
places.

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!
