1e90474c37 [NET_SCHED]: Convert packet schedulers from rtnetlink to new netlink API
Convert packet schedulers to use the netlink API. Unfortunately a gradual
conversion is not possible without breaking compilation in the middle or
adding lots of casts, so this patch converts them all in one step. The
patch has been mostly generated automatically with some minor edits to
at least allow seperate conversion of classifiers and actions.

20fea08b5f [NET]: Move Qdisc_class_ops and Qdisc_ops in appropriate sections.
Qdisc_class_ops are const, and Qdisc_ops are mostly read.

Using "const" and "__read_mostly" qualifiers helps to reduce false
sharing.

5e50da01d0 [NET_SCHED]: Fix endless loops (part 2): "simple" qdiscs
Convert the "simple" qdiscs to use qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() where
necessary:

- all graft operations
- destruction of old child qdiscs in prio, red and tbf change operation
- purging of queue in sfq change operation

f38c39d6ce [PKT_SCHED]: Convert sch_red to a classful qdisc
Convert sch_red to a classful qdisc. All qdiscs that maintain accurate
backlog counters are eligible as child qdiscs. When a queue limit larger
than zero is given, a bfifo qdisc is used for backwards compatibility.
Current versions of tc enforce a limit larger than zero, other users
can avoid creating the default qdisc by using zero.

bdc450a0bb [PKT_SCHED]: (G)RED: Introduce hard dropping
Introduces a new flag TC_RED_HARDDROP which specifies that if ECN
marking is enabled packets should still be dropped once the
average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold.

This _may_ help to avoid global synchronisation during small
bursts of peers advertising but not caring about ECN. Use this
option very carefully, it does more harm than good if
(qth_max - qth_min) does not cover at least two average burst
cycles.

The difference to the current behaviour, in which we'd run into
the hard queue limit, is that due to the low pass filter of RED
short bursts are less likely to cause a global synchronisation.

dba051f36a [PKT_SCHED]: RED: Cleanup and remove unnecessary code
Removes the skb trimming code which is not needed since we never
touch the skb upon failure. Removes unnecessary includes,
initializers, and simplifies the code a bit. Removes Jamal's
obsolete email addresses upon his own request.

6b31b28a44 [PKT_SCHED]: RED: Use new generic red interface
Simplifies code a lot by separating the red algorithm and the
queueing logic. We now differentiate between probability marks
and forced marks but sum them together again to not break
backwards compatibility.

b03efcfb21 [NET]: Transform skb_queue_len() binary tests into skb_queue_empty()
This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen
member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the
'list' member of sk_buff.

Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is
empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty()
which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead
uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

Linus Torvalds
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!
