atrtr_find() can return NULL, so do not blindly dereference rt->dev before we check for rt being NULL. Signed-off-by:

Fix kernel oopses whenever somebody issues compatible ioctl on AppleTalk, Econet, IPX or IRDA socket. For AppleTalk/Econet/IRDA it restores state in which these sockets were before compat_ioctl was introduced to the socket ops, for IPX it implements support for 4 ioctls which were not implemented before - as these ioctls use structures which match between 32bit and 64bit userspace, no special code is needed, just call 64bit ioctl handler.

Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default fallback in their ioctl implementations. This patch adds a fallback to dev_ioctl to sock_ioctl if the protocol returned -ENOIOCTLCMD. This way all the procotol ioctl handlers can be simplified and we don't need to export dev_ioctl.

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. Signed-off-by:

From: Oliver Dawid <oliver@helios.de> we found a bug in net/appletalk/ddp.c concerning broadcast packets. In kernel 2.4 it was working fine. The bug first occured 4 years ago when switching to new SNAP layer handling. This bug can be splitted up into a sending(1) and reception(2) problem: Sending(1) In kernel 2.4 broadcast packets were sent to a matching ethernet device and atalk_rcv() was called to receive it as "loopback" (so loopback packets were shortcutted and handled in DDP layer). When switching to the new SNAP structure, this shortcut was removed and the loopback packet was send to SNAP layer. The author forgot to replace the remote device pointer by the loopback device pointer before sending the packet to SNAP layer (by calling ddp_dl->request() ) therfor the packet was not sent back by underlying layers to ddp's atalk_rcv(). Reception(2) In atalk_rcv() a packet received by this loopback mechanism contains now the (rigth) loopback device pointer (in K...

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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!
