  • Only distinct use is checking if NETIF_F_NOCACHE_COPY should be
    enabled by default. The check heuristics is altered a bit here,
    so it hits other people than before. The default shouldn't be
    trusted for performance-critical cases anyway.

    For all other uses NETIF_F_NO_CSUM is equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

  • Force dev_alloc_name() to be called from register_netdevice() by
    dev_get_valid_name(). That allows to remove multiple explicit
    dev_alloc_name() calls.

    The possibility to call dev_alloc_name in advance remains.

    This also fixes veth creation regresion caused by

  • Converts dummy network device driver to :

    - percpu stats

    - 64bit stats

    - lockless xmit (NETIF_F_LLTX)

    - performance features added (NETIF_F_SG | NETIF_F_FRAGLIST |
    NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_NO_CSUM | NETIF_F_HIGHDMA)

  • It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
    remove it. The number of people that could object because they're
    maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

  • Drivers need to validate the initial addresses in their netlink attribute
    validation function or manually reject them if they can't support this.

  • All drivers need to unregister their devices in the module unload function.
    While doing so they must hold the rtnl and atomically unregister the
    rtnl_link ops as well. This makes the rtnl_link_unregister function that
    takes the rtnl itself completely useless.

    Provide default newlink/dellink functions, make __rtnl_link_unregister and
    rtnl_link_unregister unregister all devices with matching rtnl_link_ops and
    change the existing users to take advantage of that.

  • 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!
