    Add an implementation of the GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol)

    Add small STP demux layer for demuxing STP PDUs based on MAC address.
    This is needed to run both GARP and STP in parallel (or even load the
    modules) since both use LLC_SAP_BSPAN.

  • 82524746c   rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected lists into rculist.h ... Browse Code »

    Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h.

    This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the
    kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this
    list.h without creating some circular dependencies.

    For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference()
    without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of
    rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but
    aren't probably because of this.

    Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to
    many changes/troubles.

  • 36f0bebd9   [TR]: Use ctl paths to register net/token-ring/ table ... Browse Code »

    The same thing for token-ring - use ctl paths and get
    rid of external references on the tr_table.

    Unfortunately, I couldn't split this patch into cleanup and
    use-the-paths parts.

    As a lame excuse I can say, that the cleanup is just moving
    the tr_table from one file to another - closet to a single
    variable, that this ctl table tunes. Since the source file
    becomes empty after the move, I remove it.

    Many-many code in the kernel initialized the timer->function
    and timer->data together with calling init_timer(timer). There
    is already a helper for this. Use it for networking code.

    The patch is HUGE, but makes the code 130 lines shorter
    (98 insertions(+), 228 deletions(-)).

  • 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.

  • 457c4cbc5   [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespace ... Browse Code »

    This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global
    variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
    The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
    and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
    This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
    usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
    has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.

    Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
    in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
    network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
    that are relevant to a single network namespace.

    Patch also kills the skb->sk assignment before kfree_skb

  • 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).

    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.

  • cbb042f9e   [NET]: Replace skb_pull/skb_postpull_rcsum with skb_pull_rcsum ... Browse Code »

    We're now starting to have quite a number of places that do skb_pull
    followed immediately by an skb_postpull_rcsum. We can merge these two
    operations into one function with skb_pull_rcsum. This makes sense
    since most pull operations on receive skb's need to update the
    checksum.

    I've decided to make this out-of-line since it is fairly big and the
    fast path where hardware checksums are enabled need to call
    csum_partial anyway.

    Since this is a brand new function we get to add an extra check on the
    len argument. As it is most callers of skb_pull ignore its return
    value which essentially means that there is no check on the len
    argument.
