2007-04-25[PPPOE]: Fix device tear-down notification.Michal Ostrowski
pppoe_flush_dev() kicks all sockets bound to a device that is going down. In doing so, locks must be taken in the right order consistently (sock lock, followed by the pppoe_hash_lock). However, the scan process is based on us holding the sock lock. So, when something is found in the scan we must release the lock we're holding and grab the sock lock. This patch fixes race conditions between this code and pppoe_release(), both of which perform similar functions but would naturally prefer to grab locks in opposing orders. Both code paths are now going after these locks in a consistent manner. pppoe_hash_lock protects the contents of the "pppox_sock" objects that reside inside the hash. Thus, NULL'ing out the pppoe_dev field should be done under the protection of this lock. Signed-off-by: Michal Ostrowski <mostrows@earthlink.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[PPPOE]: race between interface going down and connect()Florian Zumbiehl
below you find a patch that (hopefully) fixes a race between an interface going down and a connect() to a peer on that interface. Before, connect() would determine that an interface is up, then the interface could go down and all entries referring to that interface in the item_hash_table would be marked as ZOMBIEs and their references to the device would be freed, and after that, connect() would put a new entry into the hash table referring to the device that meanwhile is down already - which also would cause unregister_netdevice() to wait until the socket has been release()d. This patch does not suffice if we are not allowed to accept connect()s referring to a device that we already acked a NETDEV_GOING_DOWN for (that is: all references are only guaranteed to be freed after NETDEV_DOWN has been acknowledged, not necessarily after the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN already). And if we are allowed to, we could avoid looking through the hash table upon NETDEV_GOING_DOWN completely and only do that once we get the NETDEV_DOWN ... mostrows: pppoe_flush_dev is called on NETDEV_GOING_DOWN and NETDEV_DOWN to deal with this "late connect" issue. Ideally one would hope to notify users at the "NETDEV_GOING_DOWN" phase (just to pretend to be nice). However, it is the NETDEV_DOWN scan that takes all the responsibility for ensuring nobody is hanging around at that time.

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_copy_from_linear_data{_offset}Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
To clearly state the intent of copying from 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@redhat.com>
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[PPPOE]: Introduce pppoe_hdr()Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For consistency with all the other skb->nh.raw accessors. Also do some really obvious simplifications in pppoe_recvmsg, well the kfree_skb one is not so obvious, but free() and kfree() have the same behaviour (hint :-) ).

2007-03-05[PPPOE]: Use ifindex instead of device pointer in key lookups.Florian Zumbiehl
Otherwise we can potentially try to dereference a NULL device pointer in some cases. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-03-02[PPPOE]: Key connections properly on local device.Florian Zumbiehl
It is based on the assumption that an interface's ifindex is basically an alias for a local MAC address, so incoming packets now are matched to sockets based on remote MAC, session id, and ifindex of the interface the packet came in on/the socket was bound to by connect(). For relayed packets, the socket that's used for relaying is selected based on destination MAC, session ID and the interface index of the interface whose name currently matches the name requested by userspace as the relaying source interface.

2007-02-12[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 5Arjan van de Ven
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

Spotted by Ian McDonald, tentatively fixed by Gerrit Renker: http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp%40vger.kernel.org/msg00599.html Rewritten not to unroll sk_receive_skb, in the common case, i.e. no lock debugging, its optimized away. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

2006-03-20[NET]: Replace skb_pull/skb_postpull_rcsum with skb_pull_rcsumHerbert Xu
We're now starting to have quite a number of places that do skb_pull followed immediately by an skb_postpull_rcsum. We can merge these two operations into one function with skb_pull_rcsum. This makes sense since most pull operations on receive skb's need to update the checksum. I've decided to make this out-of-line since it is fairly big and the fast path where hardware checksums are enabled need to call csum_partial anyway. Since this is a brand new function we get to add an extra check on the len argument. As it is most callers of skb_pull ignore its return value which essentially means that there is no check on the len argument.

2006-01-03[PPPOX]: Fix assignment into const proto_ops.David S. Miller

2005-08-29[NET]: Kill skb->real_devDavid S. Miller
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>
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!
