  • Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

  • NET/ROM's virtual interfaces don't have a proper private data
    structure yet. Create struct nr_private and put the statistics there.

  • NET/ROM is lacking a connection reset like TCP's RST flag which at times
    may result in a connecting having to slowly timing out instead of just being
    reset. An earlier attempt to reset the connection by sending a
    NR_CONNACK | NR_CHOKE_FLAG transport was inacceptable as it did result in
    crashes of BPQ systems. An alternative approach of introducing a new
    transport type 7 (NR_RESET) has be implemented several years ago in
    Paula Jayne Dowie G8PZT's Xrouter.

    Implement NR_RESET for Linux's NET/ROM but like any messing with the state
    engine consider this experimental for now and thus control it by a sysctl
    (net.netrom.reset) which for the time being defaults to off.

  • 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!
