2007-04-25bridge: add sysfs hook to flush forwarding tableStephen Hemminger
The RSTP daemon needs to be able to flush all dynamic forwarding entries in the case of topology change. This is a temporary interface. It will change to a netlink interface before RSTP daemon is officially released. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>
2007-04-25bridge: simpler hash with saltStephen Hemminger
Instead of hashing the whole Ethernet address, it should be faster to just use the last 4 bytes. Add a random salt value to the hash to make it more difficult to construct worst case DoS hash chains. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>
2007-03-22[BRIDGE]: Fix fdb RCU racePatrick McHardy
br_fdb_get use atomic_inc to increase the refcount of an element found on a RCU protected list, which can lead to the following race: CPU0 CPU1 br_fdb_get: rcu_read_lock __br_fdb_get: find element fdb_delete: hlist_del_rcu br_fdb_put br_fdb_put: atomic_dec_and_test call_rcu(fdb_rcu_free) br_fdb_get: atomic_inc rcu_read_unlock fdb_rcu_free: kmem_cache_free Use atomic_inc_not_zero instead.

2006-12-07[PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_tChristoph Lameter
Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache. The patch was generated using the following script: #!/bin/sh # # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources. # set -e for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do quilt add $file sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$ mv /tmp/$$ $file quilt refresh done The script was run like this sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache" Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-10-15[BRIDGE]: flush forwarding table when device carrier offStephen Hemminger
Flush the forwarding table when carrier is lost. This helps for availability because we don't want to forward to a downed device and new packets may come in on other links. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[BRIDGE]: forwarding remove unneeded preempt and bh diasablesStephen Hemminger
Optimize the forwarding and transmit paths. Both places are called with bottom half/no preempt so there is no need to use spin_lock_bh or rcu_read_lock. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-10-31[BRIDGE]: Use ether_compareStephen Hemminger
Use compare_ether_addr in bridge code. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>
2005-08-29[NET]: use __read_mostly on kmem_cache_t , DEFINE_SNMP_STAT pointersEric Dumazet
This patch puts mostly read only data in the right section (read_mostly), to help sharing of these data between CPUS without memory ping pongs. On one of my production machine, tcp_statistics was sitting in a heavily modified cache line, so *every* SNMP update had to force a reload.

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!
