2007-07-31[NET] loopback: Panic if registration failsHerbert Xu
Because IPv4 and IPv6 both depend on the presence of the loopback device to function, failure in registration the loopback device should be fatal. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[NET]: loopback driver can use loopback_dev integrated net_device_statsEric Dumazet
Rusty added a new 'stats' field to struct net_device. loopback driver can use it instead of declaring another struct net_device_stats This saves some memory. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_copy_to_linear_data{_offset}Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
To clearly state the intent of copying to linear sk_buffs, _offset being a overly long variant but interesting for the sake of saving some bytes. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net>
2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce ip_hdr(), remove skb->nh.iphArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_network_header()Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For the places where we need a pointer to the network header, it is still legal to touch skb->nh.raw directly if just adding to, subtracting from or setting it to another layer header. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_network_header(skb)Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For the common, open coded 'skb->nh.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can later turn skb->nh.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in 64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit. This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more "complex" cases. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_set_mac_header()Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For the cases where we want to set skb->mac.raw to an offset from skb->data. Simple cases first, the memmove ones and specially pktgen will be left for later. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[ETH]: Make eth_type_trans set skb->dev like the other *_type_transArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
One less thing for drivers writers to worry about. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-01-03[NET] drivers/net/loopback.c: convert to module_init()Adrian Bunk
This patch converts drivers/net/loopback.c to using module_init(). Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-10-20[NET]: Can use __get_cpu_var() instead of per_cpu() in loopback driver.Eric Dumazet
As BHs are off in loopback_xmit(), preemption cannot occurs, so we can use __get_cpu_var() instead of per_cpu() (and avoid a preempt_enable()/preempt_disable() pair) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-10-18[NET]: reduce per cpu ram used for loopback statsEric Dumazet
We dont need a full struct net_device_stats (currently 23 long : 184 bytes on x86_64) per possible CPU, but only two counters : bytes and packets We save few CPU cycles too in loopback_xmit() not updating 4 fields, but 2.

2006-09-28[NET] loopback: minor statistics optimizationStephen Hemminger
The loopback device status structure is a singleton and doesn't need to be allocated. Add ethtool_ops hooks to show checksum always on, and make ethtool_ops const. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-07-08[NET] gso: Add skb_is_gsoHerbert Xu
This patch adds the wrapper function skb_is_gso which can be used instead of directly testing skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_size. This makes things a little nicer and allows us to change the primary key for indicating whether an skb is GSO (if we ever want to do that).

2006-06-23[NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buffHerbert Xu
Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP). So let's merge them. They were used to tell the protocol of a packet. This function has been subsumed by the new gso_type field. This is essentially a set of netdev feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific skb. As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features field. I've made gso_type a conjunction. The idea is that you have a base type (e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features. For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN. All TSO packets with CWR set would have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4. This means that only the CWR packets need to be emulated in software. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-28[PATCH] for_each_possible_cpu: loopback device.KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu. Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-23[PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversionsAndrew Morton
When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu(). This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded test to use the preferred helper macros.

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!
