2005-11-10[NETLINK]: Generic netlink receive queue processorThomas Graf
Introduces netlink_run_queue() to handle the receive queue of a netlink socket in a generic way. Processes as much as there was in the queue upon entry and invokes a callback function for each netlink message found. The callback function may refuse a message by returning a negative error code but setting the error pointer to 0 in which case netlink_run_queue() will return with a qlen != 0.

2005-11-10[NETLINK]: Make netlink_callback->done() optionalThomas Graf
Most netlink families make no use of the done() callback, making it optional gets rid of all unnecessary dummy implementations. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-11-10[NETLINK]: Type-safe netlink messages/attributes interfaceThomas Graf
Introduces a new type-safe interface for netlink message and attributes handling. The interface is fully binary compatible with the old interface towards userspace. Besides type safety, this interface features attribute validation capabilities, simplified message contstruction, and documentation. The resulting netlink code should be smaller, less error prone and easier to understand. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-11-09[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.Yasuyuki Kozakai
The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol (TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written. In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3 protocol. The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6, which is also cured here. For example, these issues include: 1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP messages 2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag" (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply isn't feasible in ipv6 3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking design 4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will fully kill it off 6 months later.

2005-11-09Fix AGP compile on non-x86 architecturesLinus Torvalds
AGP shouldn't use "global_flush_tlb()" to flush the AGP mappings, that i spurely an x86'ism. The proper AGP mapping flusher that should be used is "flush_agp_mappings()", which on x86 obviously happens to do a global TLB flush. This makes AGP (or at least the config _I_ happen to use) compile again on ppc64. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The reply tuple of the PNS->PAC expectation was using the wrong call id. So we had the following situation: - PNS behind NAT firewall - PNS call id requires NATing - PNS->PAC gre packet arrives first then the PNS->PAC expectation is matched, and the other expectation is deleted, but the PAC->PNS gre packets do not match the gre conntrack because the call id is wrong.

2005-11-09[PATCH] md: improve 'scan_mode' and rename it to 'sync_action'NeilBrown
The current sync_action for an array can be one of idle - nothing happening resync - reduncancy being recalcualted recover - missing device being recoverred to spare check - user initiated check of redundancy repair - like resync but user-initiated and ignores bitmap optimisation. Each of these strings can also be written to the 'sync_action' file to cause that action to happen (if appropriate). While 'sync' is not technically correct, as a recovery is *not* a 'sync', I think it is the most servicable word here. Also 'action' is a strong word than 'mode'.

2005-11-09[PATCH] md: split off some md attributes in sysfs to a separate groupNeilBrown

Some attributes apply specifically to functions involving this redundancy, and so should only appear for md arrays for which they are meaningful. i.e. they should not appear for raid0, linear, multpath, faulty. This patch separates these into a distinct group and creates the group only if the personality supports sync_request.

sysfs 1/ I really should be using the __ATTR macros for defining attributes, so that the .owner field get set properly, otherwise modules can be removed while sysfs files are open. This also involves some name changes of _show routines. 2/ Always lock the mddev (against reconfiguration) for all sysfs attribute access. This easily avoid certain races and is completely consistant with other interfaces (ioctl and /proc/mdstat both always lock against reconfiguration). 3/ raid5 attributes must check that the 'conf' structure actually exists (the array could have been stopped while an attribute file was open). 4/ A missing 'kfree' from when the raid5_conf_t was converted to have a kobject embedded, and then converted back again.
