  • 3fbfa9811   [PATCH] sysctl: remove the proc_dir_entry member for the sysctl tables ... Browse Code »

    It isn't needed anymore, all of the users are gone, and all of the ctl_table
    initializers have been converted to use explicit names of the fields they are
    initializing.

  • 0b4d41471   [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl ... Browse Code »

    The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
    sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
    pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

    I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
    register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
    duplicate sysctl entries.

    So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
    the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
    enhancments harder.

  • d87abf427   [PATCH] sysctl: decnet: remove unnecessary insert_at_head flag ... Browse Code »

    The sysctl numbers used are unique so setting the insert_at_head flag does not
    succeed in overriding any sysctls, and is just confusing because it doesn't.
    Clear the flag.

  • cd354f1ae   [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h ... Browse Code »

    After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
    recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
    There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
    anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
    macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
    course of cleaning it up.

    To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
    removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

    Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
    arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
    allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
    configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
    introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
    by unnecessarily included header files).

  • 9a32144e9   [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 7 ... Browse Code »

    Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

  • 26932566a   [NETLINK]: Don't BUG on undersized allocations ... Browse Code »

    Currently netlink users BUG when the allocated skb for an event
    notification is undersized. While this is certainly a kernel bug,
    its not critical and crashing the kernel is too drastic, especially
    when considering that these errors have appeared multiple times in
    the past and it BUGs even if no listeners are present.

    This patch replaces BUG by WARN_ON and changes the notification
    functions to inform potential listeners of undersized allocations
    using a unique error code (EMSGSIZE).

  • e18b890bb   [PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t ... Browse Code »

    Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

    The patch was generated using the following script:

    #!/bin/sh
    #
    # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
    #

    set -e

    for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
    quilt add $file
    sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
    mv /tmp/$$ $file
    quilt refresh
    done

    The script was run like this

    sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

  • 3a31b9d2f   [DECNET]: Fix input routing bug ... Browse Code »

    This patch fixes a silly bug that has been in the input routing code
    for some time. It results in trying to send to a node directly when
    the origin of the packet is via the default router.

    Its been tested by Alan Kemmerer who
    reported the bug and its a fairly obvious fix for a typo.
