  • Right now Xen has a horrible hack that lets it forward packets with
    partial checksums. One of the reasons that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and
    CHECKSUM_COMPLETE were added is so that we can get rid of this hack
    (where it creates two extra bits in the skbuff to essentially mirror
    ip_summed without being destroyed by the forwarding code).

    I had forgotten that I've already gone through all the deivce drivers
    last time around to make sure that they're looking at ip_summed ==
    CHECKSUM_PARTIAL rather than ip_summed != 0 on transmit. In any case,
    I've now done that again so it should definitely be safe.

    Unfortunately nobody has yet added any code to update CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
    values on forward so we I'm setting that to CHECKSUM_NONE. This should
    be safe to remove for bridging but I'd like to check that code path
    first.

    So here is the patch that lets us get rid of the hack by preserving
    ip_summed (mostly) on forwarded packets.

  • 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).

  • 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!
