> This series (against net-next) makes various improvements to ipconfig:
>
> - Patch #1 correctly documents the behaviour of parameter 4 in the
> "ip=" and "nfsaddrs=" command line parameter.
> - Patch #2 tidies up the printk()s for reporting configured name
> servers.
> - Patch #3 fixes a bug in autoconfiguration via BOOTP whereby the IP
> addresses of IEN-116 name servers are requested from the BOOTP
> server, rather than those of DNS name servers.
> - Patch #4 requests the number of DNS servers specified by
> CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX when autoconfiguring via BOOTP, rather than
> hardcoding it to 2.
> - Patch #5 fully documents the contents and format of /proc/net/pnp in
> Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
> - Patch #6 fixes a bug whereby bogus information is written to
> /proc/net/pnp when ipconfig is not used.
> - Patch #7 creates a new procfs directory for ipconfig-related
> configuration reports at /proc/net/ipconfig.
> - Patch #8 allows for NTP servers to be configured (manually on the
> kernel command line or automatically via DHCP), enabling systems with
> an NFS root filesystem to synchronise their clock before mounting
> their root filesystem. NTP server IP addresses are written to
> /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers.
>
> Changes from v1:
>
> - David requested that a new directory /proc/net/ipconfig be created to
> contain ipconfig-related configuration reports, which is implemented
> in the new patch #7. NTP server IPs are now written to this directory
> instead of /proc/net/ntp in the new patch #8.
> - Cong and David both requested that the modification to CREDITS be
> dropped. This patch has been removed from the series.
Series applied, thank you.
