df1c0b8468 [BRIDGE]: Packets leaking out of disabled/blocked ports.
This patch fixes some packet leakage in bridge.  The bridging code was
allowing forward table entries to be generated even if a device was
being blocked. The fix is to not add forwarding database entries
unless the port is active.

The bug arose as part of the conversion to processing STP frames
through normal receive path (in 2.6.17).

20c2df83d2 mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f22 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

071f772268 [BRIDGE]: Reduce frequency of forwarding cleanup timer in bridge.
The bridge cleanup timer is fired 10 times a second for timers that
are at least 15 seconds ahead in time and that are not critical to be
cleaned asap.

This patch calculates the next time to run the timer as the minimum of
all timers or a minimum based on the current state.

9cf637473c bridge: add sysfs hook to flush forwarding table
The RSTP daemon needs to be able to flush all dynamic forwarding
entries in the case of topology change.

This is a temporary interface. It will change to a netlink interface
before RSTP daemon is officially released.

3f89092318 bridge: simpler hash with salt
Instead of hashing the whole Ethernet address, it should be faster
to just use the last 4 bytes. Add a random salt value to the hash
to make it more difficult to construct worst case DoS hash chains.

b19cbe2a16 [BRIDGE]: Fix fdb RCU race
br_fdb_get use atomic_inc to increase the refcount of an element found
on a RCU protected list, which can lead to the following race:

CPU0					CPU1

					br_fdb_get:   rcu_read_lock
					__br_fdb_get: find element
fdb_delete:   hlist_del_rcu
	      br_fdb_put
br_fdb_put:   atomic_dec_and_test
	      call_rcu(fdb_rcu_free)	br_fdb_get:   atomic_inc
						      rcu_read_unlock
fdb_rcu_free: kmem_cache_free

Use atomic_inc_not_zero instead.

e18b890bb0 [PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t
Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

1a620698c2 [BRIDGE]: flush forwarding table when device carrier off
Flush the forwarding table when carrier is lost. This helps for
availability because we don't want to forward to a downed device and
new packets may come in on other links.

ba89966c19 [NET]: use __read_mostly on kmem_cache_t , DEFINE_SNMP_STAT pointers
This patch puts mostly read only data in the right section
(read_mostly), to help sharing of these data between CPUS without
memory ping pongs.

On one of my production machine, tcp_statistics was sitting in a
heavily modified cache line, so *every* SNMP update had to force a
reload.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
