[PATCH 0/6][NET-2.6.24] Consolidate private allocations in seq files

[PATCH 0/6][NET-2.6.24] Consolidate private allocations in seq files

[Pavel Emelyanov]

Many (very many) seq files in net/ allocate some private data
to use it later (mostly for iteration state). All this code
was obviously get using copy-paste method, so move it into
one place.

Almost all of these places either set this private to 0, or
keep uninitialized. Some places, however, pre-initialize this
area, but there are few of them.

The seq_open_private() call just opens the seq file with
allocated and set to zero area. The __seq_open_private() call
makes the same, but returns the allocated memory to the called
to be initialized later.

I didn't measure how much of the .text section this saves,
but I suspect a lot of :) As far as the code is concerned,
this set saves ~450 lines.

Such thing may be useful for any subsystem, but I found this
mostly in the networking code and fixed only it (for a while).

[PATCH 1/6][NET-2.6.24] Introduce the seq_open_private()

[Pavel Emelyanov]

This function allocates the zeroed chunk of memory and
call seq_open(). The __seq_open_private() helper returns
the allocated memory to make it possible for the caller
to initialize it.

Applied, nice cleanup Pavel.

[PATCH 2/6][NET-2.6.24] Make core networking code use seq_open_private

[Pavel Emelyanov]

This concerns the ipv4 and ipv6 code mostly, but also the netlink
and unix sockets.

The netlink code is an example of how to use the __seq_open_private()
call - it saves the net namespace on this private.
