  • The test used in the linkwatch does not handle wrap-arounds correctly.
    Since the intention of the code is to eliminate bursts of messages we
    can afford to delay things up to a second. Using that fact we can
    easily handle wrap-arounds by making sure that we don't delay things
    by more than one second.

    This is based on diagnosis and a patch by Stefan Rompf.

  • This patch turns the RTNL from a semaphore to a new 2.6.16 mutex and
    gets rid of some of the leftover legacy.

  • this patch adds a dormant flag to network devices, RFC2863 operstate derived
    from these flags and possibility for userspace interaction. It allows drivers
    to signal that a device is unusable for user traffic without disabling
    queueing (and therefore the possibility for protocol establishment traffic to
    flow) and a userspace supplicant (WPA, 802.1X) to mark a device unusable
    without changes to the driver.

    It is the result of our long discussion. However I must admit that it
    represents what Jamal and I agreed on with compromises towards Krzysztof, but
    Thomas and Krzysztof still disagree with some parts. Anyway I think it should
    be applied.

  • Some network drivers call netif_stop_queue() when detecting loss of
    carrier. This leads to packets being queued up at the qdisc level for
    an unbound period of time. In order to prevent this effect, the core
    networking stack will now cease to queue packets for any device, that
    is operationally down (i.e. the queue is flushed and disabled).

  • 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!
