This represents the mass deletion of the of the tokenring support.
It gets rid of:
- the net/tr.c which the drivers depended on
- the drivers/net component
- the Kbuild infrastructure around it
- any tokenring related CONFIG_ settings in any defconfigs
- the tokenring headers in the include/linux dir
- the firmware associated with the tokenring drivers.
- any associated token ring documentation.Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

We are going to delete the Token ring support. This removes any
special processing in the core networking for token ring, (aside
from net/tr.c itself), leaving the drivers and remaining tokenring
support present but inert.The mass removal of the drivers and net/tr.c will be in a separate
commit, so that the history of these files that we still care
about won't have the giant deletion tied into their history.Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

This makes it clearer which sysctls are relative to your current network
namespace.This makes it a little less error prone by not exposing sysctls for the

The comparison operators were backwards in both garp_attr_lookup and
garp_attr_create, so the entire GID rbtree was in reverse order.
(There was no practical side effect to this though, except that PDUs
were sent with attributes listed in reverse order, which is still
valid by the protocol. This change is only for clarity.)Signed-off-by: David Ward

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
1) Provide device string properly for USB i2400m wimax devices, also
don't OOPS when providing firmware string. From Phil Sutter.2) Add support for sh_eth SH7734 chips, from Nobuhiro Iwamatsu.
3) Add another device ID to USB zaurus driver, from Guan Xin.
4) Loop index start in pool vector iterator is wrong causing MAC to not
get configured in bnx2x driver, fix from Dmitry Kravkov.5) EQL driver assumes HZ=100, fix from Eric Dumazet.
6) Now that skb_add_rx_frag() can specify the truesize increment
separately, do so in f_phonet and cdc_phonet, also from Eric
Dumazet.7) virtio_net accidently uses net_ratelimit() not only on the kernel
warning but also the statistic bump, fix from Rick Jones.8) ip_route_input_mc() uses fixed init_net namespace, oops, use
dev_net(dev) instead. Fix from Benjamin LaHaise.9) dev_forward_skb() needs to clear the incoming interface index of the
SKB so that it looks like a new incoming packet, also from Benjamin
LaHaise.10) iwlwifi mistakenly initializes a channel entry as 2GHZ instead of
5GHZ, fix from Stanislav Yakovlev.11) Missing kmalloc() return value checks in orinoco, from Santosh
Nayak.12) ath9k doesn't check for HT capabilities in the right way, it is
checking ht_supported instead of the ATH9K_HW_CAP_HT flag. Fix from
Sujith Manoharan.13) Fix x86 BPF JIT emission of 16-bit immediate field of AND
instructions, from Feiran Zhuang.14) Avoid infinite loop in GARP code when registering sysfs entries.
From David Ward.15) rose protocol uses memcpy instead of memcmp in a device address
comparison, oops. Fix from Daniel Borkmann.16) Fix build of lpc_eth due to dev_hw_addr_rancom() interface being
renamed to eth_hw_addr_random(). From Roland Stigge.17) Make ipv6 RTM_GETROUTE interpret RTA_IIF attribute the same way
that ipv4 does. Fix from Shmulik Ladkani.18) via-rhine has an inverted bit test, causing suspend/resume
regressions. Fix from Andreas Mohr.19) RIONET assumes 4K page size, fix from Akinobu Mita.
20) Initialization of imask register in sky2 is buggy, because bits are
"or'd" into an uninitialized local variable. Fix from Lino
Sanfilippo.21) Fix FCOE checksum offload handling, from Yi Zou.
22) Fix VLAN processing regression in e1000, from Jiri Pirko.

An infinite loop occurred if garp_attr_create was called with the values
of an existing attribute. This might happen if a previous leave request
for the attribute has not yet been followed by a PDU transmission (or,
if the application previously issued a join request for the attribute
and is now issuing another one, without having issued a leave request).If garp_attr_create finds an existing attribute having the same values,
return the address to it. Its state will then get updated (i.e., if it
was in a leaving state, it will move into a non-leaving state and not
get deleted during the next PDU transmission).To accomplish this fix, collapse garp_attr_insert into garp_attr_create
(which is its only caller).Thanks to Jorge Boncompte [DTI2] for contributing to
this fix.Signed-off-by: David Ward

…it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Currently, modular tokenring ("tr") lacks a license and fails to load:
tr: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
tr: Unknown symbol proc_net_fops_createBeacuse of this, no tokenring driver can load if it depends on modular
