Remove includes of  where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

[NETLINK]: Remove bogus BUG_ON

2007-05-04T19:15:11+00:00

Remove bogus BUG_ON(mutex_is_locked(nlk_sk(sk)->cb_mutex)), when the
netlink_kernel_create caller specifies an external mutex it might
validly be locked.

[NETLINK]: Kill CB only when socket is unused

2007-05-03T10:17:14+00:00

Since we can still receive packets until all references to the
socket are gone, we don't need to kill the CB until that happens.
This also aligns ourselves with the receive queue purging which
happens at that point.

2007-04-26T07:57:41+00:00

- make the following needlessly global variables static:
  - core/rtnetlink.c: struct rtnl_msg_handlers[]
  - netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto.c: struct nf_ct_protos[]

  - core/rtnetlink.c: rtnl_dump_all()
  - netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_queue_skip()

[NETLINK]: don't reinitialize callback mutex

2007-04-26T05:29:06+00:00

Don't reinitialize the callback mutex the netlink_kernel_create caller
handed in, it is supposed to already be initialized and could already
be held by someone.

[NETLINK]: Switch cb_lock spinlock to mutex and allow to override it

2007-04-26T05:29:03+00:00

Switch cb_lock to mutex and allow netlink kernel users to override it
with a subsystem specific mutex for consistent locking in dump callbacks.
All netlink_dump_start users have been audited not to rely on any
side-effects of the previously used spinlock.

[NETLINK]: introduce NLA_BINARY type

2007-04-26T05:28:05+00:00

This patch introduces a new NLA_BINARY attribute policy type with the
verification of simply checking the maximum length of the payload.

It also fixes a small typo in the example.

[NETLINK]: Directly return -EINTR from netlink_dump_start()

2007-04-26T05:27:33+00:00

Now that all users of netlink_dump_start() use netlink_run_queue()
to process the receive queue, it is possible to return -EINTR from
netlink_dump_start() directly, therefore simplying the callers.
