121caf577d [NET]: fix-up schedule_timeout() usage
Use schedule_timeout_{,un}interruptible() instead of
set_current_state()/schedule_timeout() to reduce kernel size.  Also use
human-time conversion functions instead of hard-coded division to avoid
rounding issues.

6582c164f2 [PATCH] WE-19 for kernel 2.6.13
Hi Jeff,

	This is version 19 of the Wireless Extensions. It was supposed
to be the fallback of the WPA API changes, but people seem quite happy
about it (especially Jouni), so the patch is rather small.
	The patch has been fully tested with 2.6.13 and various
wireless drivers, and is in its final version. Would you mind pushing
that into Linus's kernel so that the driver and the apps can take
advantage ot it ?

	It includes :
	o iwstat improvement (explicit dBm). This is the result of
long discussions with Dan Williams, the authors of
NetworkManager. Thanks to him for all the fruitful feedback.
	o remove pointer from event stream. I was not totally sure if
this pointer was 32-64 bits clean, so I'd rather remove it and be at
peace with it.
	o remove linux header from wireless.h. This has long been
requested by people writting user space apps, now it's done, and it
was not even painful.
	o final deprecation of spy_offset. You did not like it, it's
now gone for good.
	o Start deprecating dev->get_wireless_stats -> debloat netdev
	o Add "check" version of event macros for ieee802.11
stack. Jiri Benc doesn't like the current macros, we aim to please ;-)
	All those changes, except the last one, have been bit-roting on
my web pages for a while...

	Patches for most kernel drivers will follow. Patches for the
Orinoco and the HostAP drivers have been sent to their respective
maintainers.

	Have fun...

	Jean

9261c9b042 [NET]: Make sure l_linger is unsigned to avoid negative timeouts
One of my x86_64 (linux 2.6.13) server log is filled with :

schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca

This is because some application does a

struct linger li;
li.l_onoff = 1;
li.l_linger = -1;
setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER, &li, sizeof(li));

And unfortunatly l_linger is defined as a 'signed int' in
include/linux/socket.h:

struct linger {
         int             l_onoff;        /* Linger active                */
         int             l_linger;       /* How long to linger for       */
};

I dont know if it's safe to change l_linger to 'unsigned int' in the
include file (It might be defined as int in ABI specs)

1198ad002a [NET]: 2.6.13 breaks libpcap (and tcpdump)
Patrick McHardy says:

  Never mind, I got it, we never fall through to the second switch
  statement anymore. I think we could simply break when load_pointer
  returns NULL. The switch statement will fall through to the default
  case and return 0 for all cases but 0 > k >= SKF_AD_OFF.

Here's a patch to do just that.

I left BPF_MSH alone because it's really a hack to calculate the IP
header length, which makes no sense when applied to the special data.

correct time.

8feaf0c0a5 [INET]: Generalise tcp_tw_bucket, aka TIME_WAIT sockets
This paves the way to generalise the rest of the sock ID lookup
routines and saves some bytes in TCPv4 TIME_WAIT sockets on distro
kernels (where IPv6 is always built as a module):

[root@qemu ~]# grep tw_sock /proc/slabinfo
tw_sock_TCPv6  0  0  128  31  1
tw_sock_TCP    0  0   96  41  1
[root@qemu ~]#

Now if a protocol wants to use the TIME_WAIT generic infrastructure it
only has to set the sk_prot->twsk_obj_size field with the size of its
inet_timewait_sock derived sock and proto_register will create
sk_prot->twsk_slab, for now its only for INET sockets, but we can
introduce timewait_sock later if some non INET transport protocolo
wants to use this stuff.

Next changesets will take advantage of this new infrastructure to
generalise even more TCP code.

[acme@toy net-2.6.14]$ grep built-in /tmp/before.size /tmp/after.size
/tmp/before.size: 188646   11764    5068  205478   322a6 net/ipv4/built-in.o

- add /proc/net/netfilter/nf_log to tell user which logger is currently
  registered for which address family
- if user has configured logging, but no logging backend (logger) is
  available, always spit a message to syslog, not just the first time.
- split ip[6]t_LOG.c into two parts:
  Backend: Always try to register as logger for the respective address family
  Frontend: Always log via nf_log_packet() API
- modify all users of nf_log_packet() to accomodate additional argument

6869c4d8e0 [NETFILTER]: reduce netfilter sk_buff enlargement
As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff.
The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller.  I did some basic
testing on my notebook and it seems to work.

The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a
single bit.  Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in
sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for
them.  Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space.

Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and
alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code
overloads pkt_type :(

The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just
came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe
to remove it.

- remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
- don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own
  compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field.  IPVS maintainers can
  decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die.
- remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes
- move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes

a636e13579 [NETPOLL]: deadlock bugfix
This fixes an obvious deadlock in the netpoll code.  netpoll_rx takes the
npinfo->rx_lock.  netpoll_rx is also the only caller of arp_reply (through
__netpoll_rx).  As such, it is not necessary to take this lock.

11513128bb [NETPOLL]: rx_flags bugfix
Initialize npinfo->rx_flags.  The way it stands now, this will have random
garbage, and so will incur a locking penalty even when an rx_hook isn't
registered and we are not active in the netpoll polling code.

f0098f7863 [NET] Fix too aggressive backoff in dst garbage collection
The bug is evident when it is seen once. dst gc timer was backed off,
when gc queue is not empty. But this means that timer quickly backs off,
if at least one destination remains in use. Normally, the bug is invisible,
because adding new dst entry to queue cancels the backoff. But it shots
deadly with destination cache overflow when new destinations are not released
for long time f.e. after an interface goes down.

The fix is to cancel backoff when something was released.

6192b54b84 [NET]: Fix busy waiting in dev_close().
If the current task has signal_pending(), the loop we have
to wait for the __LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED bit to clear becomes
a pure busy-loop.

Fixed by using msleep() instead of the hand-crafted version.

Noticed by Andrew Morton.

77933d7276 [PATCH] clean up inline static vs static inline
`gcc -W' likes to complain if the static keyword is not at the beginning of
the declaration.  This patch fixes all remaining occurrences of "inline
static" up with "static inline" in the entire kernel tree (140 occurrences in
47 files).

While making this change I came across a few lines with trailing whitespace
that I also fixed up, I have also added or removed a blank line or two here
and there, but there are no functional changes in the patch.
