  • NET/ROM is lacking a connection reset like TCP's RST flag which at times
    may result in a connecting having to slowly timing out instead of just being
    reset. An earlier attempt to reset the connection by sending a
    NR_CONNACK | NR_CHOKE_FLAG transport was inacceptable as it did result in
    crashes of BPQ systems. An alternative approach of introducing a new
    transport type 7 (NR_RESET) has be implemented several years ago in
    Paula Jayne Dowie G8PZT's Xrouter.

    Implement NR_RESET for Linux's NET/ROM but like any messing with the state
    engine consider this experimental for now and thus control it by a sysctl
    (net.netrom.reset) which for the time being defaults to off.

  • Lots of places just needs the states, not even linux/tcp.h, where this
    enum was, needs it.

    This speeds up development of the refactorings as less sources are
    rebuilt when things get moved from net/tcp.h.

  • Remove the "list" member of struct sk_buff, as it is entirely
    redundant. All SKB list removal callers know which list the
    SKB is on, so storing this in sk_buff does nothing other than
    taking up some space.

    Two tricky bits were SCTP, which I took care of, and two ATM
    drivers which Francois Romieu fixed
    up.

  • 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!
