We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.
This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
which is max size allowed by vger.

The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.
Drivers need not do it any more.
Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves.

This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were

Clean up the various different email addresses of mine listed in the code

Some module parameters with only one line have the '\n' at the end of the
description. This is not needed nor wanted as after the description the
type (i.e. int) is followed by a newline.
Some modules contain a multi-line description, these are not affected
by this patch.

If print_mac() is used inside of a pr_debug() the compiler
can't see that the call is redundant so still performs it
even of pr_debug() ends up being a nop.
So don't use print_mac() in such cases in hot code paths,
use MAC_FMT et al. instead.
As noted by Joe Perches, pr_debug() could be modified to
handle this better, but that is a change to an interface
used by the entire kernel and thus needs to be validated
carefully. This here is thus the less risky fix for
2.6.25

The functions time_before, time_before_eq, time_after, and time_after_eq are
more robust for comparing jiffies against other values.
So use the time_after() macro, defined in linux/jiffies.h, which deals with
wrapping correctly.

* missing braces in !readl(...) & ...
* trivial endianness annotations
* in olympic_arb_cmd() the loop collecting fragments of
packet is b0rken on big-endian - we have
(next_ptr && (buf_ptr=olympic_priv->olympic_lap + ntohs(next_ptr)))
as condition and it should have swab16(), not ntohs() - it's host-endian
byteswapped, not big-endian. So if we get more than one fragment on big-endian
host, we get screwed.
This ntohs() got missed back when the rest of those had been switched
to swab16() in 2.4.0-test2-pre1 - at a guess, nobody had hit fragmented
packets during the testing of PPC fixes.

Replacing accesses to dev->priv to netdev_priv(dev). The replacment
is safe when netdev_priv is used to access a private structure that is
right next to the net_device structure in memory.
Cf http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.development.system/browse_thread/thread/de19321bcd94dbb8/0d74a4adcd6177bd
This is the case when the net_device structure was allocated with
a call to alloc_netdev or one of its derivative.
Here is an excerpt of the semantic patch that performs the transformation
@ rule1 @
type T;
struct net_device *dev;
@@
dev =
(
alloc_netdev
|
alloc_etherdev
|
alloc_trdev
)
(sizeof(T), ...)
@ rule1bis @
struct net_device *dev;
expression E;
@@
dev->priv = E
@ rule2 depends on rule1 && !rule1bis @
struct net_device *dev;
type rule1.T;
@@
- (T*) dev->priv
+ netdev_priv(dev)
PS: I have performed the same transformation on the whole kernel
and it affects around 70 files, most of them in drivers/net/.
Should I split my patch for each subnet directories ? (wireless/, wan/, etc)
Thanks to Thomas Surrel for helping me refining my semantic patch.

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.
Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

I noticed that many source files include <linux/pci.h> while they do
not appear to need it. Here is an attempt to clean it all up.
In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all
files including <linux/pci.h> but without any other occurence of "pci"
or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I
compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the
false positives manually.
My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false
positives remaining. Untested files are:

I would welcome test reports for these files. I am fine with removing
the untested files from the patch if the general opinion is that these
changes aren't safe. The tested part would still be nice to have.
Note that this patch depends on another header fixup patch I submitted

ip_summed changes last summer had missed that one. As the result,
we have ip_summed interpreted as CHECKSUM_PARTIAL now. IOW,
->csum is interpreted as offset of checksum in the packet. net/core/*
will both read and modify the value as that offset, with obvious
reasons. At the very least it's a remote memory corruptor.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.
