* packet: Kill CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP.David S. Miller2010-02-061-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Early on this was an experimental facility that few people other than Alexey Kuznetsov played with. Now it's a pretty fundamental thing and as people add more features to AF_PACKET sockets this config options creates ifdef spaghetti. So kill it off. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* net: TX_RING and packet mmapJohann Baudy2009-05-191-19/+121
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | New packet socket feature that makes packet socket more efficient for transmission. - It reduces number of system call through a PACKET_TX_RING mechanism, based on PACKET_RX_RING (Circular buffer allocated in kernel space which is mmapped from user space). - It minimizes CPU copy using fragmented SKB (almost zero copy).

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!
