  • The in-kernel Sangoma drivers are both not compiling and marked as BROKEN
    since at least kernel 2.6.0.

    Sangoma offers out-of-tree drivers, and David Mandelstam told me Sangoma
    does no longer maintain the in-kernel drivers and prefers to provide them
    as a separate installation package.

    This patch therefore removes these drivers.

  • 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.

  • I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
    a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
    linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
    least)

    This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
    so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.

    This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
    if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)

    I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
    them const.

    This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
    speedup some socket system calls.

  • Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols.
    With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a
    good basis for further re-structuring.

    The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is
    fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several
    "depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair.

    Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are
    small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed
    out where they belongs.

  • There were still a few comments left refering to verify_area, and two
    functions, verify_area_skas & verify_area_tt that just wrap corresponding
    access_ok_skas & access_ok_tt functions, just like verify_area does for
    access_ok - deprecate those.

    There was also a few places that still used verify_area in commented-out
    code, fix those up to use access_ok.

    After applying this one there should not be anything left but finally
    removing verify_area completely, which will happen after a kernel release
    or two.

  • 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!
