    Since hardware header operations are part of the protocol class
    not the device instance, make them into a separate object and

    It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
    remove it. The number of people that could object because they're
    maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

  • 881d966b4   [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace. ... Browse Code »

    This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
    namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a
    network namespace variable, and then it picks up
    a few associated variables. The functions:
    dev_getbyhwaddr
    dev_getfirsthwbytype
    dev_get_by_flags
    dev_get_by_name
    __dev_get_by_name
    dev_get_by_index
    __dev_get_by_index
    dev_ioctl
    dev_ethtool
    dev_load
    wireless_process_ioctl

    were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
    deal with it.

    vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
    hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

    So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
    affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
    multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was
    simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
    namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network
    stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

    For now the ifindex generator is left global.

    Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
    we will have corner case problems with migration when
    we get that far.

    At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
    that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making
    the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
    the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
    you change namespaces, and the like.

  • 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).

  • c55e2f499   [IPV4]: ipip and ip_gre encapsulation bugs ... Browse Code »

    Handling of ipip and ip_gre ICMP error relaying is b0rken; it accesses
    8bit field + 3 reserved octets as host-endian 32bit, does comparison,
    subtraction and stuffs the result back. That breaks on big-endian.

    Fixed, made endian-clean.

    [ Note that this effected code is permanently commented out with
    and ifdef, so this error couldn't actually cause problems for
    anyone. -DaveM ]

    Replace CHECKSUM_HW by CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (for outgoing packets, whose
    checksum still needs to be completed) and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE (for
    incoming packets, device supplied full checksum).

  • 45af08be6   [INET]: Use port unreachable instead of proto for tunnels ... Browse Code »

    This patch changes GRE and SIT to generate port unreachable instead of
    protocol unreachable errors when we can't find a matching tunnel for a
    packet.

    This removes the ambiguity as to whether the error is caused by no
    tunnel being found or by the lack of support for the given tunnel
    type.

  • 48d5cad87   [XFRM]: Fix SNAT-related crash in xfrm4_output_finish ... Browse Code »

    When a packet matching an IPsec policy is SNATed so it doesn't match any
    policy anymore it looses its xfrm bundle, which makes xfrm4_output_finish
    crash because of a NULL pointer dereference.

    This patch directs these packets to the original output path instead. Since
    the packets have already passed the POST_ROUTING hook, but need to start at
    the beginning of the original output path which includes another
    POST_ROUTING invocation, a flag is added to the IPCB to indicate that the
    packet was rerouted and doesn't need to pass the POST_ROUTING hook again.

  • 3e3850e98   [NETFILTER]: Fix xfrm lookup in ip_route_me_harder/ip6_route_me_harder ... Browse Code »

    ip_route_me_harder doesn't use the port numbers of the xfrm lookup and
    uses ip_route_input for non-local addresses which doesn't do a xfrm
    lookup, ip6_route_me_harder doesn't do a xfrm lookup at all.

    Use xfrm_decode_session and do the lookup manually, make sure both
    only do the lookup if the packet hasn't been transformed already.

    Makeing sure the lookup only happens once needs a new field in the
    IP6CB, which exceeds the size of skb->cb. The size of skb->cb is
    increased to 48b. Apparently the IPv6 mobile extensions need some
    more room anyway.

  • 8cdfab8a4   [IPV4]: reset IPCB flags when neccessary ... Browse Code »

    Reset IPSKB_XFRM_TUNNEL_SIZE flags in ipip and ip_gre hard_start_xmit
    function before the packet reenters IP. This is neccessary so the
    encapsulated packets are checked not to be oversized in xfrm4_output.c
    again. Reset all flags in sit when a packet changes its address family.

    Also remove some obsolete IPSKB flags.

  • fb286bb29   [NET]: Detect hardware rx checksum faults correctly ... Browse Code »

    Here is the patch that introduces the generic skb_checksum_complete
    which also checks for hardware RX checksum faults. If that happens,
    it'll call netdev_rx_csum_fault which currently prints out a stack
    trace with the device name. In future it can turn off RX checksum.

    I've converted every spot under net/ that does RX checksum checks to
    use skb_checksum_complete or __skb_checksum_complete with the
    exceptions of:

    * Those places where checksums are done bit by bit. These will call
    netdev_rx_csum_fault directly.

    * The following have not been completely checked/converted:

    ipmr
    ip_vs
    netfilter
    dccp

    This patch is based on patches and suggestions from Stephen Hemminger
    and David S. Miller.

  • e5ed63991   [IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnl ... Browse Code »

    The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
    introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.

    1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
    2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
    3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().

    There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
    race condition. I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.

    This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
    Paul McKenney.

  • db44575f6   [NET]: fix oops after tunnel module unload ... Browse Code »

    Tunnel modules used to obtain module refcount each time when
    some tunnel was created, which meaned that tunnel could be unloaded
    only after all the tunnels are deleted.

    Since killing old MOD_*_USE_COUNT macros this protection has gone.
    It is possible to return it back as module_get/put, but it looks
    more natural and practically useful to force destruction of all
    the child tunnels on module unload.

  • 1da177e4c   Linux-2.6.12-rc2 ... Browse Code »

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
