2009-09-02NET: Fix possible corruption in bpqether driverRalf Baechle
The bpq ether driver is modifying the data art of the skb by first dropping the KISS byte (a command byte for the radio) then prepending the length + 4 of the remaining AX.25 packet to be transmitted as a little endian 16-bit number. If the high byte of the length has a different value than the dropped KISS byte users of clones of the skb may observe this as corruption. This was observed with by running listen(8) -a which uses a packet socket which clones transmit packets. The corruption will then typically be displayed for as a KISS "TX Delay" command for AX.25 packets in the range of 252..508 bytes or any other KISS command for yet larger packets. Fixed by using skb_cow to create a private copy should the skb be cloned. Using skb_cow also allows us to cleanup the old logic to ensure sufficient headroom in the skb. While at it, replace a return of 0 from bpq_xmit with the proper constant NETDEV_TX_OK which is now being used everywhere else in this function. Affected: all 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.

2009-07-05net: use NETDEV_TX_OK instead of 0 in ndo_start_xmit() functionsPatrick McHardy
This patch is the result of an automatic spatch transformation to convert all ndo_start_xmit() return values of 0 to NETDEV_TX_OK. Some occurences are missed by the automatic conversion, those will be handled in a seperate patch. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-11-03drivers/net: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores.David S. Miller

2008-07-17netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.David S. Miller
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument. Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue() interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device. Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safeEric W. Biederman
Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace. As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-10[NET]: Make packet reception network namespace safeEric W. Biederman
This patch modifies every packet receive function registered with dev_add_pack() to drop packets if they are not from the initial network namespace. This should ensure that the various network stacks do not receive packets in a anything but the initial network namespace until the code has been converted and is ready for them.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespaceEric W. Biederman
This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace. The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument, and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument. This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces. Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents that are relevant to a single network namespace.

2007-07-31bpqether: fix rcu usagePaul E. McKenney
The rcu_dereference() primitive needs to be applied to an l-value in order to ensure that compiler writers don't get an opportunity to apply reordering optimizations that could result in multiple fetches or in other misbehavior. This patch pulls the rcu_dereference() calls in bpq_seq_next() up to the point at which the fetched pointers are still l-values, rather than after list_entry() has transformed them into r-values.

2007-02-12[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 5Arjan van de Ven

2006-12-08[AX.25]: Fix default address and broadcast address initialization.Ralf Baechle
Only the callsign but not the SSID part of an AX.25 address is ASCII based but Linux by initializes the SSID which should be just a 4-bit number from ASCII anyway.

2005-10-18[PATCH] rcu in bpqether driver.Ralf Baechle
From Suzanne Wood <suzannew@cs.pdx.edu>: Clarify RCU implementation in bpqether.c. Because bpq_new_device() calls list_add_rcu() and bpq_free_device() calls list_del_rcu(), substitute list_for_each_entry_rcu() for list_for_each_entry() in bpq_get_ax25_dev() and in bpq_seq_start(). Add rcu dereference protection in bpq_seq_next(). The rcu_read_lock()/unlock() in bpq_device_event() are removed because netdev event handlers are called with RTNL locking in place. FYI: bpq_free_device() calls list_del_rcu() which, per list.h, requires synchronize_rcu() which can block or call_rcu() or call_rcu_bh() which cannot block. Herbert Xu notes that synchronization is done here by unregister_netdevice(). This calls synchronize_net() which in turn uses synchronize_rcu().

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!
