  • 7eff2e7a8   Driver core: change add_uevent_var to use a struct ... Browse Code »

    This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a
    long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the
    proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
    in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
    environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.

    Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the
    error handling.

  • cfcabdcc2   [NET]: sparse warning fixes ... Browse Code »

    Fix a bunch of sparse warnings. Mostly about 0 used as
    NULL pointer, and shadowed variable declarations.
    One notable case was that hash size should have been unsigned.

  • 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.

  • e9dc86534   [NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safe ... Browse Code »

    Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
    stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have
    support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
    device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
    can get confused and do the wrong thing.

    To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
    this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on
    devices that are not in the initial network namespace.

    As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
    checks can be removed.

  • 1b8d7ae42   [NET]: Make socket creation namespace safe. ... Browse Code »

    This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
    and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By
    virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition
    the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
    you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.

    Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
    network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
    network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
    has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
    Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
    exotic protocols are supported.

    Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
    pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

  • 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.

    Using the standard macro is cleaner and forces code to check for bad arguments

  • ecbb41693   [NET]: Fix neighbour destructor handling. ... Browse Code »

    ->neigh_destructor() is killed (not used), replaced with
    ->neigh_cleanup(), which is called when neighbor entry goes to dead
    state. At this point everything is still valid: neigh->dev,
    neigh->parms etc.

    The device should guarantee that dead neighbor entries (neigh->dead !=
    0) do not get private part initialized, otherwise nobody will cleanup
    it.

    I think this is enough for ipoib which is the only user of this thing.
    Initialization private part of neighbor entries happens in ipib
    start_xmit routine, which is not reached when device is down. But it
    would be better to add explicit test for neigh->dead in any case.

  • 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.

  • 84ff602ef   [ATM]: Fix for crash in adummy_init() ... Browse Code »

    This was reported by Ingo Molnar here,

    http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/18/119

    The problem is that adummy_init() depends on atm_init() , but adummy_init()
    is called first.

    So I put atm_init() into subsys_initcall which seems appropriate, and it
    will still get module_init() if it becomes a module.

    Interesting to note that you could crash your system here if you just load
    the modules in the wrong order.
