      [NET]: Add a dev_ioctl() fallback to sock_ioctl() · b5e5fa5e
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      
      
      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.

      [NET]: move struct proto_ops to const · 90ddc4f0
      Eric Dumazet authored
      
      
      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.

      [PATCH] misc verify_area cleanups · e49332bd
      Jesper Juhl authored
      
      
      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!
