linux.git/net/bridge/br_input.c, branch v2.6.16 Linux kernel source tree [BRIDGE]: fix for RCU and deadlock on device removal 2006-02-10T01:08:52+00:00 Stephen Hemminger shemminger@osdl.org 2006-02-10T01:08:52+00:00 b3f1be4b5412e34647764457bec901e06b03e624 Change Bridge receive path to correctly handle RCU removal of device from bridge. Also fixes deadlock between carrier_check and del_nbp. This replaces the previous deleted flag fix. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

[NET]: Use newer is_multicast_ether_addr() in some files 2006-01-06T21:05:58+00:00 Kris Katterjohn kjak@users.sourceforge.net 2006-01-06T21:05:58+00:00 dbbc0988288d9643044e8bd8c7e7de70016ecd23 This uses is_multicast_ether_addr() because it has recently been changed to do the same thing these seperate tests are doing.

[BRIDGE]: receive path optimization 2005-05-29T21:16:48+00:00 Stephen Hemminger shemminger@osdl.org 2005-05-29T21:16:48+00:00 7ce54e3f428b33af714271140601c87b8bf2c544 This improves the bridge local receive path by avoiding going through another softirq. The bridge receive path is already being called from a netif_receive_skb() there is no point in going through another receiveq round trip. Recursion is limited because bridge can never be a port of a bridge so handle_bridge() always returns. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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.
