David S. Miller 689be43945 [NET]: Remove gratuitous use of skb->tail in network drivers.
Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.

In these situations, the code roughly looks like:

	dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);

	[optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);

	... skb->tail ...

But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
skb->tail.  So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
other than skb->data in these cases.

Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
the skb->data and skb->tail pointers.  It really just wanted
to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
to do instead.

Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
cleanups I have planned simpler to merge.  In those cleanups,
skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.

Nishanth Aravamudan 0da8b14548 [PATCH] net/farsync: add set_current_state() before schedule_timeout()
Insert set_current_state() before schedule_timeout() so the
function delays as expected. Without the addition, schedule_timeout()
will return immediately.

Domen Puncer 1e7f0bd8c8 drivers/net/: Use the DMA_{64,32}BIT_MASK constants
Use the DMA_{64,32}BIT_MASK constants from dma-mapping.h when calling
pci_set_dma_mask() or pci_set_consistent_dma_mask()

This patch includes dma-mapping.h explicitly because it caused errors
on some architectures otherwise.

Jesper Juhl 6a5d362120 [WAN]: kfree of NULL pointer is valid
kfree(0) is perfectly valid, checking pointers for NULL before calling 
kfree() on them is redundant. The patch below cleans away a few such 
redundant checks (and while I was around some of those bits I couldn't 
stop myself from making a few tiny whitespace changes as well).

Marcelo Tosatti e8108c98dd [PATCH] PC300 pci_enable_device fix
Call pci_enable_device() before looking at IRQ and resources,
and pci_disable_device() when shutting the interface down.

The driver requires this fix or the "pci=routeirq" workaround
on 2.6.10 and later kernels.

Reported and tested by Artur Lipowski.

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!
