2007-03-02	[VLAN]: Avoid a 4-order allocation.	Dan Aloni	1	-3/+22
	This patch splits the vlan_group struct into a multi-allocated struct. On x86_64, the size of the original struct is a little more than 32KB, causing a 4-order allocation, which is prune to problems caused by buddy-system external fragmentation conditions. I couldn't just use vmalloc() because vfree() cannot be called in the softirq context of the RCU callback.

2006-08-17	[VLAN]: Make sure bonding packet drop checks get done in hwaccel RX path.	David S. Miller	1	-0/+5
	Since __vlan_hwaccel_rx() is essentially bypassing the netif_receive_skb() call that would have occurred if we did the VLAN decapsulation in software, we are missing the skb_bond() call and the assosciated checks it does. Export those checks via an inline function, skb_bond_should_drop(), and use this in __vlan_hwaccel_rx(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-07-14	[VLAN]: __vlan_hwaccel_rx can use the faster ether_compare_addr	Stephen Hemminger	1	-2/+3
	The inline function compare_ether_addr is faster than memcmp. Also, don't need to drag in proc_fs.h, the only reference to proc_dir_entry is a pointer so the declaration is needed here.

2005-08-29	[NET]: Kill skb->real_dev	David S. Miller	1	-1/+0
	Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond() decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original device into packet_type->func() as an argument. It remains to be seen whether we can use this same exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+398
	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!
