* [NET]: Add a dev_ioctl() fallback to sock_ioctl()Christoph Hellwig2006-01-031-18/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [NET]: move struct proto_ops to constEric Dumazet2006-01-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [APPLETALK]: Fix broadcast bug.Oliver Dawid2005-09-271-9/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Oliver Dawid <oliver@helios.de> we found a bug in net/appletalk/ddp.c concerning broadcast packets. In kernel 2.4 it was working fine. The bug first occured 4 years ago when switching to new SNAP layer handling. This bug can be splitted up into a sending(1) and reception(2) problem: Sending(1) In kernel 2.4 broadcast packets were sent to a matching ethernet device and atalk_rcv() was called to receive it as "loopback" (so loopback packets were shortcutted and handled in DDP layer). When switching to the new SNAP structure, this shortcut was removed and the loopback packet was send to SNAP layer. The author forgot to replace the remote device pointer by the loopback device pointer before sending the packet to SNAP layer (by calling ddp_dl->request() ) therfor the packet was not sent back by underlying layers to ddp's atalk_rcv(). Reception(2) In atalk_rcv() a packet received by this loopback mechanism contains now the (rigth) loopback device pointer (in Kernel 2.4 it was the (wrong) remote ethernet device pointer) and therefor no matching socket will be found to deliver this packet to. Because a broadcast packet should be send to the first matching socket (as it is done in many other protocols (?)), we removed the network comparison in broadcast case. Below you will find a patch to correct this bug. Its diffed to kernel 2.6.14-rc1 Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [TCP]: Move the tcp sock states to net/tcp_states.hArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2005-08-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [NET]: Kill skb->real_devDavid S. Miller2005-08-292-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond() decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original device into packet_type->func() as an argument. It remains to be seen whether we can use this same exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [ATALK] aarp: replace schedule_timeout() with msleep()Nishanth Aravamudan2005-06-221-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | From: Nishanth Aravamudan <nacc@us.ibm.com> Use msleep() instead of schedule_timeout() to guarantee the task delays as expected. The current code is not wrong, but it does not account for early return due to signals, so I think msleep() should be appropriate.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-166-0/+3456
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!
