  • 7562f876c   [NET]: Rework dev_base via list_head (v3) ... Browse Code »

    Cleanup of dev_base list use, with the aim to simplify making device
    list per-namespace. In almost every occasion, use of dev_base variable
    and dev->next pointer could be easily replaced by for_each_netdev
    loop. A few most complicated places were converted to using
    first_netdev()/next_netdev().

  • 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.

    The sysctl numbers used are unique so setting the insert_at_head flag serves
    no semantis purpose, and is just confusing.

  • da7071d7e   [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 8 ... 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.

  • 7ee66fcb9   [LLC]: multicast receive device match ... Browse Code »

    Fix from Aji_Srinivas@emc.com, STP packets are incorrectly received on
    all LLC datagram sockets, whichever interface they are bound to. The
    llc_sap datagram receive logic sends packets with a unicast
    destination MAC to one socket bound to that SAP and MAC, and multicast
    packets to all sockets bound to that SAP. STP packets are multicast,
    and we do need to know on which interface they were received.

  • 30a584d94   [LLX]: SOCK_DGRAM interface fixes ... Browse Code »

    The datagram interface of LLC is broken in a couple of ways.
    These were discovered when trying to use it to build an out-of-kernel
    version of STP.

    First it didn't pass the source address of the received packet
    in recvfrom(). It needs to copy the source address of received LLC packets
    into the socket control block. At the same time fix a security issue
    because there was uninitialized data leakage. Every recvfrom call
    was just copying out old data.

    Second, LLC should not merge multiple packets in one receive call
    on datagram sockets. LLC should preserve packet boundaries on
    SOCK_DGRAM.

    This fix goes against the old historical comments about UNIX98 semantics
    but without this fix SOCK_DGRAM is broken and useless. So either ANK's
    interpretation was incorect or UNIX98 standard was wrong.

  • 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.

  • 381998241   [LLC]: Fix compiler warnings introduced by TX window scaling changes. ... Browse Code »

    Noticed by Olaf Hering.

    The comparisons want a u8 here (the data type on the left-hand branch
    is a u8 structure member, and the constant on the right-hand branch is
    "~((u8) 128)"), but C turns it into an integer so we get:

    net/llc/llc_c_ac.c: In function `llc_conn_ac_inc_npta_value':
    net/llc/llc_c_ac.c:998: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type
    net/llc/llc_c_ac.c:999: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type

    Fix this up by explicitly recasting the right-hand branch constant
    into a "u8" once more.

  • dd0fc66fb   [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1 ... Browse Code »

    - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

    - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
    the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
    generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
    typedef) and documents what's going on far better.
