• b5e5fa5e0   [NET]: Add a dev_ioctl() fallback to sock_ioctl() ... Browse Code »

  Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default
  fallback in their ioctl implementations. This patch adds a fallback
  to dev_ioctl to sock_ioctl if the protocol returned -ENOIOCTLCMD.
  This way all the procotol ioctl handlers can be simplified and we don't
  need to export dev_ioctl.

• 90ddc4f04   [NET]: move struct proto_ops to const ... Browse Code »

  I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
  a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
  linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
  least)

  This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
  so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.

  This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
  if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)

  I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
  them const.

  This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
  speedup some socket system calls.

• c1cbe4b7a   [NET]: Avoid atomic xchg() for non-error case ... Browse Code »

  It also looks like there were 2 places where the test on sk_err was
  missing from the event wait logic (in sk_stream_wait_connect and
  sk_stream_wait_memory), while the rest of the sock_error() users look
  to be doing the right thing. This version of the patch fixes those,
  and cleans up a few places that were testing ->sk_err directly.

• c752f0739   [TCP]: Move the tcp sock states to net/tcp_states.h ... Browse Code »

  Lots of places just needs the states, not even linux/tcp.h, where this
  enum was, needs it.

  This speeds up development of the refactorings as less sources are
  rebuilt when things get moved from net/tcp.h.

  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!
