The RSTP daemon needs to be able to flush all dynamic forwarding
entries in the case of topology change.This is a temporary interface. It will change to a netlink interface
before RSTP daemon is officially released.Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

Instead of hashing the whole Ethernet address, it should be faster
to just use the last 4 bytes. Add a random salt value to the hash
to make it more difficult to construct worst case DoS hash chains.Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

br_fdb_get use atomic_inc to increase the refcount of an element found
on a RCU protected list, which can lead to the following race:CPU0 CPU1
br_fdb_get: rcu_read_lock
__br_fdb_get: find element
fdb_delete: hlist_del_rcu
br_fdb_put
br_fdb_put: atomic_dec_and_test
call_rcu(fdb_rcu_free) br_fdb_get: atomic_inc
rcu_read_unlock
fdb_rcu_free: kmem_cache_freeUse atomic_inc_not_zero instead.

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.
The patch was generated using the following script:

#
# 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
doneThe script was run like this
sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

Flush the forwarding table when carrier is lost. This helps for
availability because we don't want to forward to a downed device and
new packets may come in on other links.Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

Optimize the forwarding and transmit paths. Both places are
called with bottom half/no preempt so there is no need to use
spin_lock_bh or rcu_read_lock.Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

This patch puts mostly read only data in the right section
(read_mostly), to help sharing of these data between CPUS without
memory ping pongs.On one of my production machine, tcp_statistics was sitting in a
heavily modified cache line, so *every* SNMP update had to force a
reload.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

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!
