  • This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global
    variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
    The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
    and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
    This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
    usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
    has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.

    Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
    in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
    network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
    that are relevant to a single network namespace.

  • When having built-in IrDA, we hit the following error:

    `irda_sysctl_unregister' referenced in section `.init.text' of
    net/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of
    net/built-in.o

    make[1]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
    make: *** [_all] Error 2

    This is due to the irda_init fix recently added, where we call __exit
    routines from an __init one. It is a build failure that I didn't catch
    because it doesn't show up when building IrDA as a module. My apologies
    for that.
    The following patch fixes that failure and is against your net-2.6
    tree. I hope it can make it to the merge window, and stable@kernel.org
    is CCed on this mail.

  • 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!
