932ff279a4 [NET]: Add netif_tx_lock
Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines.  They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.

With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set.  This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.

While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire.  So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.

So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner.  The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.

I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly.  I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.

This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond.  It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission.  This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue.  So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.

The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.

6146e6a43b [PKTGEN]: Removes thread_{un,}lock() macros.
As suggested by Arnaldo, this patch replaces the
thread_lock()/thread_unlock() by directly calls to
mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock().

This change makes the code a bit more readable, and the direct calls
are used everywhere in the kernel.

Even if pktgen's thread initialization fails for all CPUs, the module

This patch changes that behaivor, by returning an error on module load time,
and also freeing all the resources allocated. It also prints a warning if a
thread initialization has failed.

95ed63f791 [NET] pktgen: Fix races between control/worker threads.
There's a race in pktgen which can lead to a double
free of a pktgen_dev's skb. If a worker thread is in
the midst of doing fill_packet(), and the controlling
thread gets a "stop" message, the already freed skb
can be freed once again in pktgen_stop_device(). This
patch gives all responsibility for cleaning up a
pktgen_dev's skb to the associated worker thread.

static variables should not be explicitly initialised to 0.  This causes
them to be placed in .data instead of .bss.  This patch de-initialises 3
static variables in net/core/pktgen.c.

(2.6.15rc5).  If there is more interrest I'd be willing to track down the
rest of these as well and de-initialise them as well.

670c02c2bf [NET]: Wider use of for_each_*cpu()
In 'net' change the explicit use of for-loops and NR_CPUS into the
general for_each_cpu() or for_each_online_cpu() constructs, as
appropriate.  This widens the scope of potential future optimizations
of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage of the existing
optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu(), which is advantageous
when the true CPU count is much smaller than NR_CPUS.

e5ed639913 [IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnl
The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.

1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().

There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition.  I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.

This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.

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!
