  • Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

  • ROSE network devices are virtual network devices encapsulating ROSE
    frames into AX.25 which will be sent through an AX.25 device, so form a
    special "super class" of normal net devices; split their locks off into
    a separate class since they always nest.

  • Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default
    fallback in their ioctl implementations. This patch adds a fallback
    to dev_ioctl to sock_ioctl if the protocol returned -ENOIOCTLCMD.
    This way all the procotol ioctl handlers can be simplified and we don't
    need to export dev_ioctl.

  • Ax2asc was still using a static buffer for all invocations which isn't
    exactly SMP-safe. Change ax2asc to take an additional result buffer as
    the argument. Change all callers to provide such a buffer.

  • o Brown paperbag bug - ax25_findbyuid() was always returning a NULL pointer
    as the result. Breaks ROSE completly and AX.25 if UID policy set to deny.

    o While the list structure of AX.25's UID to callsign mapping table was
    properly protected by a spinlock, it's elements were not refcounted
    resulting in a race between removal and usage of an element.

  • The socket flag cleanups that went into 2.6.12-rc1 are basically oring
    the flags of an old socket into the socket just being created.
    Unfortunately that one was just initialized by sock_init_data(), so already
    has SOCK_ZAPPED set. As the result zapped sockets are created and all
    incoming connection will fail due to this bug which again was carefully
    replicated to at least AX.25, NET/ROM or ROSE.

    In order to keep the abstraction alive I've introduced sock_copy_flags()
    to copy the socket flags from one sockets to another and used that
    instead of the bitwise copy thing. Anyway, the idea here has probably
    been to copy all flags, so sock_copy_flags() should be the right thing.
    With this the ham radio protocols are usable again, so I hope this will
    make it into 2.6.13.

  • 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!
