d4beaa66ad net: proc: change proc_net_fops_create to proc_create
Right now, some modules such as bonding use proc_create
to create proc entries under /proc/net/, and other modules
such as ipv4 use proc_net_fops_create.

It looks a little chaos.this patch changes all of
proc_net_fops_create to proc_create. we can remove
proc_net_fops_create after this patch.

9dd4a13a89 net/ipv4/ipconfig: really display the BOOTP/DHCP server's address.
Up to now, the debug and info messages from the ipconfig subsytem

842b08bbee ipconfig: fix trivial build error
The commit 5e953778a2 ("ipconfig: add nameserver
IPs to kernel-parameter ip=") introduces ic_nameservers_predef() that defined
only for BOOTP. However it is used by ip_auto_config_setup() as well. This
patch moves it outside of #ifdef BOOTP.

5e953778a2 ipconfig: add nameserver IPs to kernel-parameter ip=
On small systems (e.g. embedded ones) IP addresses are often configured
by bootloaders and get assigned to kernel via parameter "ip=".  If set to
"ip=dhcp", even nameserver entries from DHCP daemons are handled. These
entries exported in /proc/net/pnp are commonly linked by /etc/resolv.conf.

To configure nameservers for networks without DHCP, this patch adds option
<dns0-ip> and <dns1-ip> to kernel-parameter 'ip='.

Before waiting (predefined value 120s), check that at least one device

which does not set the MAC address) there is no point in waiting
for carrier.

6608824329 ipv4: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE
ipv4: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE

The macro LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE was ill-conceived.  It applies the
alignment to the sum of needed_headroom and needed_tailroom.  As
the amount that is then reserved for head room is needed_headroom
with alignment, this means that the tail room left may be too small.

This patch replaces all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE in net/ipv4
with the macro LL_RESERVED_SPACE and direct reference to
needed_tailroom.

This also fixes the problem with needed_headroom changing between
allocating the skb and reserving the head room.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

964ad81cbd ipconfig: Handle devices which take some time to come up.
Some network devices, particularly USB ones, take several seconds to
fully init and appear in the device list.

If the user turned ipconfig on, they are using it for NFS root or some
other early booting purpose.  So it makes no sense to just flat out
fail immediately if the device isn't found.

It also doesn't make sense to just jack up the initial wait to
something crazy like 10 seconds.

Instead, poll immediately, and then periodically once a second,
waiting for a usable device to appear.  Fail after 12 seconds.

9643f45512 ipv4: teach ipconfig about the MTU option in DHCP
The DHCP spec allows the server to specify the MTU.  This can be useful
for netbooting with UDP-based NFS-root on a network using jumbo frames.
This patch allows the kernel IP autoconfiguration to handle this option
correctly.

It would be possible to use initramfs and add a script to set the MTU,
but that seems like a complicated solution if no initramfs is otherwise
necessary, and would bloat the kernel image more than this code would.

This patch was originally submitted to LKML in 2003 by Hans-Peter Jansen.

2513dfb83f ipconfig: handle case of delayed DHCP server
If a DHCP server is delayed, it's possible for the client to receive the 
DHCPOFFER after it has already sent out a new DHCPDISCOVER message from 
a second interface.  The client then sends out a DHCPREQUEST from the 
second interface, but the server doesn't recognize the device and 
rejects the request.

This patch simply tracks the current device being configured and throws 
away the OFFER if it is not intended for the current device.  A more 
sophisticated approach would be to put the OFFER information into the 
struct ic_device rather than storing it globally.

Introduce per-net_device inlines: dev_net(), dev_net_set().
Without CONFIG_NET_NS, no namespace other than &init_net exists.
Let's explicitly define them to help compiler optimizations.

dea75bdfa5 [IPCONFIG]: The kernel gets no IP from some DHCP servers
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>

Based upon a patch by Marcel Wappler:
 
   This patch fixes a DHCP issue of the kernel: some DHCP servers
   (i.e.  in the Linksys WRT54Gv5) are very strict about the contents
   of the DHCPDISCOVER packet they receive from clients.
 
   Table 5 in RFC2131 page 36 requests the fields 'ciaddr' and
   'siaddr' MUST be set to '0'.  These DHCP servers ignore Linux
   kernel's DHCP discovery packets with these two fields set to
   '255.255.255.255' (in contrast to popular DHCP clients, such as
   'dhclient' or 'udhcpc').  This leads to a not booting system.

988b705077 [ARP]: Introduce the arp_hdr_len helper.
There are some place, that calculate the ARP header length. These
calculations are correct, but 
 a) some operate with "magic" constants,
 b) enlarge the code length (sometimes at the cost of coding style),
 c) are not informative from the first glance.

The proposal is to introduce a helper, that includes all the good
sides of these calculations.
