2005-05-29[BRIDGE]: receive path optimizationStephen Hemminger
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>
2005-05-29[BRIDGE]: prevent bad forwarding table updatesStephen Hemminger
Avoid poisoning of the bridge forwarding table by frames that have been dropped by filtering. This prevents spoofed source addresses on hostile side of bridge from causing packet leakage, a small but possible security risk.

2005-05-29[BRIDGE]: set features based on enslaved devicesStephen Hemminger

2005-04-18[PATCH] kobject/hotplug split - net bridgekay.sievers@vrfy.org
kobject_add() and kobject_del() don't emit hotplug events anymore. We need to do it ourselves now. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

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!
