There's a race in pktgen which can lead to a double
free of a pktgen_dev's skb. If a worker thread is in
the midst of doing fill_packet(), and the controlling
thread gets a "stop" message, the already freed skb
can be freed once again in pktgen_stop_device(). This
patch gives all responsibility for cleaning up a
pktgen_dev's skb to the associated worker thread.

static variables should not be explicitly initialised to 0.  This causes
them to be placed in .data instead of .bss.  This patch de-initialises 3
static variables in net/core/pktgen.c.

There are approximately 800 more such variables in the source tree
(2.6.15rc5).  If there is more interrest I'd be willing to track down the
rest of these as well and de-initialise them as well.

The code to handle the /proc interface can be cleaned up in several places:
* use seq_file for read
* don't need to remember all the filenames separately
* use for_online_cpu's
* don't vmalloc a buffer for small command from user.

Committer note:
This patch clashed with John Hawkes's "[NET]: Wider use of for_each_*cpu()",
so I fixed it up manually.

pktgen is calling kmalloc GFP_KERNEL and vmalloc with lock held.
The simplest fix is to turn the lock into a semaphore, since the
thread lock is only used for admin control from user context.

In 'net' change the explicit use of for-loops and NR_CPUS into the
general for_each_cpu() or for_each_online_cpu() constructs, as
appropriate.  This widens the scope of potential future optimizations
of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage of the existing
optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu(), which is advantageous
when the true CPU count is much smaller than NR_CPUS.

The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.

1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().

There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition.  I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.

This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.

`gcc -W' likes to complain if the static keyword is not at the beginning of
the declaration.  This patch fixes all remaining occurrences of "inline
static" up with "static inline" in the entire kernel tree (140 occurrences in
47 files).

While making this change I came across a few lines with trailing whitespace
that I also fixed up, I have also added or removed a blank line or two here
and there, but there are no functional changes in the patch.

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!
