====================
ipconfig: NTP server support, bug fixes, documentation improvements
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.
