2007-10-16uml: network driver MTU cleanupsJeff Dike
A bunch of MTU-related cleanups in the network code. First, there is the addition of the notion of a maximally-sized packet, which is the MTU plus headers. This is used to size the skb that will receive a packet. This allows ether_adjust_skb to go away, as it was used to resize the skb after it was allocated. Since the skb passed into the low-level read routine is no longer resized, and possibly reallocated, there, they (and the write routines) don't need to get an sk_buff **. They just need the sk_buff * now. The callers of ether_adjust_skb still need to do the skb_put, so that's now inlined. The MAX_PACKET definitions in most of the drivers are gone. The set_mtu methods were all the same and did nothing, so they can be removed. The ethertap driver had a typo which doubled the size of the packet rather than adding two bytes to it. It also wasn't defining its setup_size, causing a zero-byte kmalloc and crash when the invalid pointer returned from kmalloc was dereferenced.

2007-05-07uml: network interface hotplug error handlingJeff Dike
This fixes a number of problems associated with network interface hotplug. The userspace initialization function can fail in some cases, but the failure was never passed back to eth_configure, which proceeded with the configuration. This results in a zombie device that is present, but can't work. This is fixed by allowing the initialization routines to return an error, which is checked, and the configuration aborted on failure. eth_configure failed to check for many failures. Even when it did check, it didn't undo whatever initializations has already happened, so a present, but partially initialized and non-working device could result. It now checks everything that can fail, and bails out, undoing whatever had been done. The return value of eth_configure was always ignored, so it is now just void.

2006-09-29[PATCH] uml: don't roll my own random MAC generatorJeff Dike
Use the existing random_ether_addr() instead of cooking up my own version. Pointed out by Dave Hollis and Jason Lunz. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-09-29[PATCH] uml: mechanical tidying after random MACs changeJeff Dike
Mechanical, hopefully non-functional changes stemming from setup_etheraddr always succeeding now that it always assigns a MAC, either from the command line or generated randomly: the test of the return of setup_etheraddr is removed, and code dependent on it succeeding is now unconditional setup_etheraddr can now be made void struct uml_net.have_mac is now always 1, so tests of it can be similarly removed, and uses of it can be replaced with 1 struct uml_net.have_mac is no longer used, so it can be removed struct uml_net_private.have_mac is copied from struct uml_net, so it is always 1 tests of uml_net_private.have_mac can be removed uml_net_private.have_mac can now be removed the only call to dev_ip_addr was removed, so it can be deleted It also turns out that setup_etheraddr is called only once, from the same file, so it can be static and its declaration removed from net_kern.h. Similarly, set_ether_mac is defined and called only from one file. Finally, setup_etheraddr and set_ether_mac were moved to avoid needing forward declarations.

2006-09-29[PATCH] uml: assign random MACs to interfaces if necessaryJeff Dike
Assign a random MAC to an ethernet interface if one was not provided on the command line. This became pressing when distros started bringing interfaces up before assigning IPs to them. The previous pattern of assigning an IP then bringing it up allowed the MAC to be generated from the first IP assigned. However, once the thing is up, it's probably a bad idea to change the MAC, so the MAC stayed initialized to fe:fd:0:0:0:0. Now, if there is no MAC from the command line, one is generated. We use the microseconds from gettimeofday (20 bits), plus the low 12 bits of the pid to seed the random number generator. random() is called twice, with 16 bits of each result used. I didn't want to have to try to fill in 32 bits optimally given an arbitrary RAND_MAX, so I just assume that it is greater than 65536 and use 16 bits of each random() return. There is also a bit of reformatting and whitespace cleanup here.

2006-09-26[PATCH] uml: clean our set_ether_macPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Clean set_ether_mac usage. Maybe could also be removed, but surely it can't be a global function taking a void* argument.

2005-11-07[PATCH] uml: fix UML network driver endianness bugsBodo Stroesser
ifa->ifa_address and ifa->ifa_mask are defined as __u32, but used as if they were char[4]. Network code uses htons() to convert it. So UML's method to access these fields is wrong for bigendians (e.g. s390) I replaced bytewise copying by memcpy(), maybe even that might be removed, if ifa->ifa_address/mask may be used immediately.

2005-06-08[PATCH] uml: compile fixes for gcc 4Jeff Dike
This is a bunch of compile fixes provoked by building UML with gcc 4. There are a bunch of signedness mismatches, a couple of uninitialized references, and a botched C99 structure initialization which had somehow gone unnoticed.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
