  • The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
    sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
    pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

    I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
    register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
    duplicate sysctl entries.

    So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
    the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
    enhancments harder.

  • After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
    recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
    There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
    anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
    macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
    course of cleaning it up.

    To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
    removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

    Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
    arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
    allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
    configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
    introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
    by unnecessarily included header files).

  • - rename nf_logging to nf_loggers since its an array of registered loggers

    - rename nf_log_unregister_logger() to nf_log_unregister() to make it
    symetrical to nf_log_register() and convert all users

  • Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

    The patch was generated using the following script:

    #!/bin/sh
    #
    # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
    #

    set -e

    for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
    quilt add $file
    sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
    mv /tmp/$$ $file
    quilt refresh
    done

    The script was run like this

    sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

  • The attached patch resolves an issue where a IP DNATed packet with a
    martian source is forwarded while it's better to drop it. It also
    resolves messages complaining about ip forwarding being disabled while
    it's actually enabled. Thanks to lepton for
    reporting this problem.

    This is probably a candidate for the -stable release.

  • net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c: In function 'ebt_dev_check':
    net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c:89: warning: initialization discards qualifiers from pointer target type

    So make the char* a const char * and the warning is gone.
