This is a trivial patch against the hdlcdrv module that fixes its CRC
calculation. The finished CRC was overwriting the first two bytes of
each packet rather than being appended to the end.I've tested this with 2.6.8 and 2.6.10-rc1, but hdlcdrv hasn't changed
much recently so it should work with many other kernel versions.Signed-off-by: Micah Dowty

Move the line disciplines towards a conventional ->ops arrangement. For
the moment the actual 'tty_ldisc' struct in the tty is kept as part of
the tty struct but this can then be changed if it turns out that when it
all settles down we want to refcount ldiscs separately to the tty.Pull the ldisc code out of /proc and put it with our ldisc code.

alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue
structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument.Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored
through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue()
interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all
things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device.Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and
only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping
for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Add netif_addr_{lock,unlock}{,_bh}() helpers.
Use them to protect operations that operate on or read
the network device unicast and multicast address lists.Also use them in cases where the code simply wants to
block calls into the driver's ->set_rx_mode() and
->set_multicast_list() methods.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

If the RTNL is held when we invoke flush_scheduled_work() we could
deadlock. One such case is linkwatch, it is a work struct which tries
to grab the RTNL semaphore.The most common case are net driver ->stop() methods. The
simplest conversion is to instead use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync()
explicitly on the various work struct the driver uses.This is an OK transformation because these work structs are doing
things like resetting the chip, restarting link negotiation, and so
forth. And if we're bringing down the device, we're about to turn the
chip off and reset it anways. So if we cancel a pending work event,
that's fine here.Some drivers were working around this deadlock by using a msleep()
polling loop of some sort, and those cases are converted to instead
use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync() as well.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have
support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
can get confused and do the wrong thing.To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on
devices that are not in the initial network namespace.As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
checks can be removed.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

This patch modifies every packet receive function
registered with dev_add_pack() to drop packets if they

for them.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

The rcu_dereference() primitive needs to be applied to an l-value in order to
ensure that compiler writers don't get an opportunity to apply reordering
optimizations that could result in multiple fetches or in other misbehavior.
This patch pulls the rcu_dereference() calls in bpq_seq_next() up to the point
at which the fetched pointers are still l-values, rather than after
list_entry() has transformed them into r-values.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney
